Please remember to leave the remote for the parking lot gate on the long table by the front door. Thanks, Erin
Have a safe trip home. Thanks for staying at The Inn on Austin Avenue.
This is a small family business run by a single mom. A five star review would really help this small business. Thanks! Erin
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.
Please do not park in the carport on the side of the house. It was built for a horse and carriage and is very narrow.

It has been fully restored and is now an very popular weekend rental. The Inn on Austin Avenue opened in August of 2019 and is a beautifully restored historic home in downtown Waco. The Hideaway at Lake Belton is a three-story mid-century modern lake view home. We absolutely love hosting guests in these homes which we have had so much fun restoring. We take pride in giving our guests beautiful homes that are perfect locations for making great memories.

Why they chose this property

The Inn on Austin Avenue was built in 1912. The craftsman style home was in terrible shape when we purchased it, but has been fully restored and is simply beautiful.

Relax in one of the three bedrooms with new Down comforters. We promise that your stay at The Inn on Austin Avenue will be one you will remember and want to share with friends.
