About this property
Western Tailgate -Sleeps 15, Hot Tub, Bocce, by UT
Summary:
Saddle up for the ultimate Austin tailgate. This spirited bungalow sleeps 15 just blocks from UT - built for game days, grad weekends, and big family trips.
Soak in the hot tub, face off at bocce ball and cornhole, gather at the fire pit, or battle on the arcade games.
Inside: 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, a full kitchen, and bold burnt-orange Western style throughout.
Social, lively, and ready for your whole crew. Y'all come stay a while.
The Space:
Welcome to the Western Tailgate - a navy bungalow with burnt-orange soul, planted just blocks from UT and built for game days, gatherings, and the whole crew.
The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen is where everyone lands. Sink into the oversized sectional, gather for a game at the long dining table, or pull up a stool at the island while the cook works a fully stocked kitchen. Live-edge wood, deep green walls, and Longhorn touches throughout set the tone: spirited, social, and unmistakably Austin.
5 bedrooms sleep 15, each with its own Texas character:
- Bedroom 1 (Primary): King bed + private ensuite
- Bedroom 2: Queen bed, lit up by glowing marquee cowboy boots
- Bedroom 3: Queen bed
- Bedroom 4: 2 Full/double beds
- Bedroom 5: Queen-over-queen bunk + twin trundle, plus a desk for anyone working remote
3 full bathrooms keep the mornings moving - the primary ensuite plus two guest baths with tub/shower combos.
Down the hall, the arcade nook is pure fun: two classic stand-up arcades, wall-mounted board games, and a spot to pull up and play.
Out back is the real MVP. Soak in the hot tub under the string lights, circle up around the gas fire pit in a ring of burnt-orange Adirondacks, fire up the grill at the big outdoor table, and settle the score on the bocce ball court or the cornhole boards - all under a canopy of mature shade trees and fully fenced for privacy. There's even an outdoor TV for the pre-game.
Game-day weekend, graduation, or a big family trip - the Western Tailgate is your home base.
Guest Access:
Guests have the entire home and backyard.
The Neighborhood:
You're in North Campus, one of Austin's most walkable pockets, just a short walk from the University of Texas. Whether you're here for a game, move-in weekend, a campus tour, or graduation, you can leave the car parked and get to most of it on foot.
Guadalupe Street - known as The Drag - is close by, packed with coffee shops, casual eats, vintage stores, and student favorites. You'll find everything from barbecue, Indian, pizza, seafood, and tacos within easy reach, plus campus landmarks like the UT Tower, the Blanton Museum of Art, and the LBJ Presidential Library. When you want the full city, downtown Austin, the Texas Capitol, and the music and nightlife of Sixth Street and Rainey are just minutes away.
This is a lively, spirited part of town with real character - quieter, tree-lined residential streets just steps from the buzz of campus. It's an easy home base for groups who want to be close to the action, with everything from tailgates to taco runs right outside the door.

What makes this property unique
The Western Tailgate is a game-day headquarters wrapped in burnt-orange Texas spirit, just a short walk from UT. The fully fenced backyard is the star — a hot tub under string lights, a gas fire pit ringed in burnt-orange Adirondacks, a grill and big outdoor dining table, a bocce court, Longhorn cornhole, and an outdoor TV, all shaded by mature trees. Inside, an arcade nook with classic stand-up cabinets and playable wall-mounted board games keeps everyone busy rain or shine, while five themed bedrooms sleep 15 — from glowing marquee cowboy boots to desert-Western art — in bold, unmistakably Austin style.
