Beauty and comfort in great location

Even more beauty in the decor than the photos can reveal, there was a lot of attention put into the details of this place. We found everything we needed to cook and this is one of the few properties I could find that has a table that seats 6 instead of 4. And then there are 3 countertop stools. If you drink alcohol, he has every concievable form of glassware you could want. The pantry had various essentials, such as baking powder. The fridge was also stocked with some drinks and condiments. The beds were extremely comfortable such that we all slept in a lot! The TV has all sorts of subscriptions. The place had umbrellas! Lyon was a great correspondent. My adult kids enjoyed the aromatherapy steam sauna which is located in the upstairs hallway bathroom. This place is so impeccable that I hesitate to add any corrections, but would have liked the addition of facial tissue boxes and decaf coffee pods- we got our own. We found that most things we wanted to do were less than a 15 minute drive or walking distance. The White Horse bar is an Austin classic with two stepping and is walking distance. To find more special indie music, take the Tipster “free” walking tour- they recommend tipping $15-20 per person in cash. We wish someone had told us to get tickets to Esther’s Follies ahead of our trip. The people who say that “money cannot buy happiness” are wrong- this place was worth the price!

Perfection!

My family and I have been meeting up in various locations to celebrate Thanksgiving. We thought Austin might be fun. Lyon's place was the perfect spot. He is responsive and thoughtful and texted me to give me instructions to get in, and let me know he had placed a turkey roasting pan in the oven for us. The house is immaculate and Lyon has seen to every detail for the most discerning traveller: wonderful beds and linens, including plush towels; tasteful and varied decor; sparkling and stylish bathrooms; and a kitchen with spanking appliances and every type of tool and serving dish needed to make a great meal. The tv was great during rainy weather and the washer and dryer were tops. The pantry had all the little things we couldn't bring, like vanilla, sugar, salt and pepper. It is a perfect spot for a family gathering, girls weekend or couple getaway. The location is fabulous as well, just a walk from the beautiful Lady Bird Lake and close to downtown and all the fun night spots. Thank you Lyon! You have set the bar VERY high for a VRBO rental.

This was the perfect place to stay! Beds were so comfortable, tons of extra toiletries if needed, so much space to relax. And, most importantly, an awesome location. We walked everywhere. Thanks Lyon!

About the host

Hosted by Lyon Gegenheimer

I'm very passionate about entertaining friends and family and hosting guests. My degree is in Architecture, however, I don't get to use it in my professional life. Revisioning this 2-story home was a dream come true. The remodel was to the highest possible standard, and completed with the thought, 'where would I want to stay?'

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood has so much to offer, and I really recommend that my guests enjoy it on foot or by renting a bicycle. We are steps away from the art galleries and cool spots on East Cesar Chavez, including Cenote Coffee Shop, Cisco's Tex Mex, Coldtowne Comedy Club, Ramen Tatsu-ya, Cosmic Coffee & Beer Garden, Uptown Sports Club, and Lou's All-Day Cafe. Additionally, the property is walking distance to the Rainey Street Entertainment District & E. 6th Street Entertainment District & E. Cesar Chavez Bar District. We are 4 blocks from the shores of Lady Bird Lake & the hike and bike trail that cuts through downtown, and will take you to Butler Park, Zilker Park, Barton Springs & to see the famous bats fly out at dusk from the Congress Street bridge. You can rent a canoe or paddle board along the shoreline, or a party boat for the most amazing night time views of downtown from Lady Bird Lake. The Austin Rowing Club boathouse is a favorite spot of mine at the foot of the Four Season's Hotel's 'Great Lawn'. The boathouse is also home to Alta Cafe, which features an upper level wrap around deck with breathtaking views of the lake. It is the perfect place for a coffee early in the morning or to grab a glass of wine and watch the sunset.

What makes this property unique

I personally check-in guests, and give a brief overview of the amenities in the house, plus close by spots for coffee, groceries, dining and entertainment. I enjoy giving my guests an insider view on the neighborhood hot spots, convenient trailer eateries, and the best bars restaurants and bars nearby. Just knowing who has the best happy hour, or where to rent a bike and/or paddle board can enhance my guests overall experience. My favorite special treat is hiring a pedi-cab downtown to bike me home open air. It can be the perfect end to an evening out, plus we are one of the only residential neighborhoods where the pedi-cabs will take you right to your doorstep. Both Bird and Lime Scooters are usually available for rent on the sidewalk.
