The “Pink Cottage” is quaint, artistically decorated craftsman-style cottage built in 1938. High ceilings, fat white moldings, central air & heat, pink shutters, hardwood floors throughout.

Located on a tiny, private, tree-lined street, beautiful Travis Heights is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Austin. This location is magic. You're in the heart of the city, yet you feel as if you are staying in your own secluded park.

Wake up to the smell of jasmine and gardenia, and the sound of birds, then stroll out your front door and in a minute you're on South Congress Avenue (known as SoCo,)the true heart and main connecting artery to every fun thing that happens in Austin.


The cottage is filled with books and when you arrive you'll find a guitar waiting for you, so feel free to read or play to your hearts content.

Just about everything you want or need is a walk, short cab or bus ride away, and Austin bus service is cheap, easy to use and safe. Even the airport is only a twenty dollar cab ride away, American.

This is an amazing location and it’s the first time it's been available as a vacation rental.
