About this property
LOCATION- Clara Cottage is in the Heart of East Austin
NEWLY Built in 2016 and designed by the owner for short term rentals. You will be invited to a fully fenced in property with one car garage that greets you with all of the modern amenities you would want in your home away from home. When you walk through the door you will be greeted with a bright living room and fully equipped kitchen. Go out the backdoor to your completely private backyard sanctuary with two rocking chairs, full patio set, an electric grill for a fun BBQ, and outdoor games. Upstairs you have TWO bedrooms (one with a comfy Queen Bed with 12" Hybrid Mattress and the other acts as an office or another sleeping room with Murphy Bed that has a comfy 10-in. Gel and Aloe Vera Hybrid Full Mattress-NO SOFA BED!). Don't forget about your upstairs balcony with two Adirondack chairs to enjoy a glass of wine or watch people go to our next door neighbor restaurants/bars like La BBQ, Juniper, Love Birds, and Wow Poke Food Truck!

Why they chose this property
The Clara Cottage is a fun and modern home that's so homey that you won't want to leave. You will have all of the modern amenities to make feel like you are right at home! I offer fun indoor and outdoor games for those nights where you want to stay in with your guests. The wood furniture was custom built from the wood floors of the circa 1935 home that was torn down to build my dream vacation home.
What makes this property unique
You are in the Heart of East Austin. So you don't need to rent a car. Only 5 miles from the Airport. 1.5 Miles to Downtown Austin. And with in walking distance or quick Uber ride to hundreds of restaurants/bars/breweries. You are also only 2 blocks away from Lady Bird Lake which has SUP and Kayak rentals as well as the peaceful well shaded Bike and Hike Trail which is a 10 mile loop. Also you are right across the street from one of the most popular BBQ joints in Austin: La BBQ so you can watch the line to get in to know jump into place so you won't wait too long for some of the BEST Austin BBQ.
