About this property

Best Central Location/Private Urban Oasis/ Travis Heights Near SoCo & Downtown

Travis Heights is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Austin and is tucked under expansive Live Oak trees that are hundreds of years old! Tiny House may be tucked away in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, but it's an easy walk to the best of South Congress (SoCo), the Congress St. bats, and is also close to downtown and East-side restaurants, bars and clubs. The Whip-in, a close walk, is an eclectic restaurant, bar and live music venue whose origins were a simple corner store. Want some quiet time? Take a walk through the neighborhood to Big Stacy Park, or swim in Big Stacy Pool- open all year round! Travis Heights has the best of everything!

Terrific Tiny House
Excellent location and well-appointed tiny home. We had everything we needed, street parking was readily available, and the house was convenient to everywhere we visited while in town. Amy was a great host. We recommend this home!

Tiny House
Really cute house. Set up is very minimal. The host was amazing sent really in-depth emails about what to see and do in the local area. Also very clear instructions on how to access the property. Very responsive to issues that we had whilst staying there. Unfortunately didn't get to meet the host, but met her two cats who were adorable. We stayed primarily for the ACL festival. The festival grounds were within walking distance (if you like walking). Close to congress street and Zilker Park, lots of opportunities to paddleboard and kayak on the river.

Sisters’ trip
My sis and I met in Austin for the weekend after her conference there. This was the perfect spot for us to catch up and hit the town. Very cute tiny house with just what we needed. Thank you!

Perfect space!
This mini house was the perfect size, space, and location for our extended weekend in Austin. It was quiet, safe, and had all the amenities needed. It felt super cozy and we looked forward to heading back there after being out and about. I’d def recommend and stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Amy Sherman

Host profile image
I moved to Austin from San Francisco, sight unseen, 25 years ago and we've grown up together. I rented, then bought, my current home and have been here ever since. My house has been the hub of many gatherings and I'm a natural host- just ask my friends!

I'm active and am always up for adventure around town, out of town and around the world. I enjoy traveling, have lived abroad and logged many global miles, but it’s always nice to come home to enjoy all that Austin has to offer: music, dancing, natural springs, or enjoying the hike and bike trail along Lady Bird Lake.

I've been in the hospitality business for several years as a travel agent, bartender, catering and event coordinator, and would love to show you why Austin is the place to be!
