Host profile image
I have been living in Austin for twenty years. I play music in Austin along with teaching tennis. I love my home and took pride and care with every improvement I've made since living here. I started hosting guests 10 years ago and have had so many great experiences.

Why they chose this property

It is quiet and friendly at the same time.

What makes this property unique

I know your going to want and explore all that Austin has to offer and my home is only twenty minutes from the night life of downtown and a stones throw from The Hill Country (actually we are on the fringes of The Hill Country technically)
Lake Austin and Commons Ford Park (for hiking) are a mile or so away. Venture out to Zilker Park, Mount Bonnell, Wimberley, The Oasis, and Hamilton Pool. Old Fredericksburg is about an hour away if you want to do a day trip. There is so much to do in Austin the tricky part is picking!
Got the munchies? Try out the local taste of Petrizzi’s, The Civil goat , and Jojo’s.
are in walking distance from the house . The Hill Country Galleria walking mall with all it's shops is located only five miles away. There you will find many restaurants, bars, a movie theater, Starbucks, retail stores and Whole Foods, Austin's favorite Tex-Mex is in the Galleria just a sones throw.
