Location: Austin, Hill Country, Texas, USA (South Congress, Sixth Street Music District, Barton Springs) View Map
Accommodations: House, Studio, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
Welcome to Austin, Live Music Capital of the World! This lovely guest home is located a little over a mile from downtown and the Capitol Building, with easy access to the Sixth Street/Red River Music District and SoCo (South Congress Avenue). The guest home has been thoughtfully spaced on a large, landscaped lot to maximize privacy from the main house, with a perimeter fence and spacious dog run for those guests who are traveling with their pooch.
Enjoy luxurious conveniences with an artistic flair: a king-sized bed handmade from Texas mesquite, a full-size kitchen with counter top bar, and framed posters of classic Austin musicians and venues are just some of the cool features of this unique vacation lodging. Other amenities you'll appreciate are a 32" flat-panel HDTV complete with surround sound and digital cable (on a fully-articulating wall mount, so you can watch movies in bed!), a CD & DVD library of local musicians and Texas film classics, wireless broadband internet access, and an iPod dock for your own tunes.
I've also put together a comprehensive guidebook to help you find the "Best of Austin"--those independent businesses (restaurants, record stores, boutiques, etc.) that are the cornerstone of this amazingly diverse and vibrant city. The guidebook contains maps, menus, and information on our natural wonders (including the incomparable Barton Springs/Zilker Park) and cultural highlights (such as the Blanton Museum of Art and the South Austin Museum of Popular Culture), as well as a list of all the places to hear great music!
From your off-street parking spot, it's less than a mile to both Manor Road and the historic 11th Street Corridor, hosts to over a dozen local cafes, coffee shops, and unique bars; it's also under a mile to the UT football stadium, home of the four-time National Champion Longhorns! A patio set and a hammock accentuate a pretty garden setting for a relaxing afternoon, or take a bounce on the trampoline and energize yourself for another day of sights and sounds in Austin.

Perfect Home Away from Home!!! This guesthouse is a diamond in the rough. Conveniently located just minutes from UT Stadium and all the downtown sites and activities, the guesthouse is nestled away in a quiet neighborhood enjoying urban renewal. This home (and many nearby) feature modern design and green living. From the moment we entered the gate we were greeted by a lovely patio and garden featuring native Texas plants & shrubs, recycled glass pebble walkways, and a table & chairs perfect for morning coffee. Inside the guesthouse we were surrounded by luxury and Texas charm! High end finishes throughout, deluxe large slate tile shower, and red leather sofa and loveseat work perfectly with the Texas sized king bed! The host has thought of every detail including ipod dock and wireless internet, coffee grinder, and more! Our favorite things are the touches of Austin music history which include vintage framed album art and concert posters from nearly 30 years of The Home of Live Music which is Austin. Helpful guides and information are supplied as well, maps and attraction listings, even coupons for special events! Perfect for your Austin getaway!
