Barton Springs Hideaway. On the Park at Barton Springs Pool, mins to Downtown
Located directly across from Barton Springs Pool at Zilker Park, you can be steps away from a majority of the outdoor activities that make a visit to Austin so amazing while still having the convenience of being only two miles from the center of downtown.
The Hideaway is the downstairs apartment in our newly built home, designed to accommodate out-of-town family and friends when they come to visit. With two bedrooms, two baths, an open concept, a large kitchen, and lots of beds/pullouts, it’s the perfect basecamp for families or groups of friends that are looking to explore Austin.
The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances, tons of counter space, a bar top island and a dining area that seats six. The open concept extends into the living room with lots of seating, a cozy pullout sectional and another nook with a desk.
The back bedroom is tucked away off the living room with a large TV, a queen bed, private bath with tub, and a view of the woods.
The front bedroom boasts various sleeping options with a queen bed, lofted twin, and a convertible sleeper. Attached to the second bath with a large walk-in shower, it has a TV and corner view that faces the park.
Just outside the kitchen there are two small terraced patio areas built into the hill along the woods with dining for six and an area to grill. The outdoor areas are meant for hanging out, however, these spaces provide limited privacy since the area is not fenced in and faces the road along the park.
Please note that you will be renting the lower portion of this home which is setup like a duplex. Just like hotels with rooms above them or apartments there is a level of noise that travels between units. A majority of the time, there will be a family of four living upstairs. Our rates are adjusted to take this into account and if you have any reason to believe that this could be a concern for anyone in your party then we’d suggest you find another place that you would be more comfortable staying at when visiting Austin. Additionally, with the home being directly across from the park and situated along the road to the parking lots to Barton Springs, you can also expect to hear road noise and the hustle and bustle of park goers, especially on the weekends during peak times.
To access this property you will have to use stairs. The home is situated at the bottom of the hill along Azie Morton Rd. The property has a short steep driveway as the approach to an uncovered gravel courtyard that can be used to park one car, with room for a second car to park directly behind on the inclined driveway. From that parking spot guests will need to go up ten stairs to enter the home.
Prior to check-in, we will send you detailed directions to ensure a seamless arrival. Special requests like pack and plays or high chairs can be requested prior to arrival.

A very clean place perfect for a family or group of friends. The location is close to downtown without being right in the city and close to the park/river!
It was everything we needed and were hoping for in a place to stay for the weekend! I would recommend this place to anyone and do not have any complaints.
The property is excellent for 4 or cozy 6 and the access in and out with locked does was very easy. You hear owners above especially children in the morning and evening for an hour and spent very little time beyond sleeping. TV choices allowed me to have NBA playoffs which I appreciated and the minor negatives on the rooms - the beds squeeke loudly and both bathroom fans need cleaned. I got very dirty on purpose. I did not have a car for my stay so I walked a lot - spent days at Casa de Luz and Barton Springs. Attended fire circle and photographed the botanical gardens and the bats under Congress bridge. I had breakfast at Juiceland every day and easily walked to Trader Joe’s & Whole Foods. Uber around town cost me average 12 to get back to the property if I was too tired to walk. The scooters around also would be excellent option for me next time. Used the kitchen virtually 0 so have no opinion other than the out water filter on the fridge. I don’t know anything about the water I didn’t drink it. Pleasant exchanges with hosts always we saw each other rarely. For me was excellent for the price and location and matched 100% of my work : play needs perfectly. I appreciate the hideout and will plan to return.
We absolutely LOVED staying here! Brandon and Kara were beyond amazing hosts! They are quick to respond, so accommodating, and made us feel at home.The location is absolutely perfect! We enjoyed the easy walk over to Barton Springs and the short uber rides to anywhere in town! Thank you Brandon and Kara for making our trip to Austin unforgettable!
Loved our short stay. Apartment is clean and well stocked. Easy parking, lovely location - particularly the spring fed pool just across the street and walking distance to Austin (for us anyway)!
We came with friends here -- it was awesome to have to proximity to barton springs and downtown austin. Also, the property is beautiful and wplould recommend this place to anyone.
This was a perfect rental for our small family. The hosts were very communicative, easy to reach, and provided us a pack and play so we didn’t have to travel with ours. The location of the house is pretty perfect. Across the street from the park and in a prime location to drive to most areas of Austin. The house was clean and stocked with pretty much anything you might need to cook. They even had some spices and stocked the fridge with a few drinks before our arrival (very much appreciated!) The ONLY things to keep in mind when booking:1. This is a basement type apartment. It feels private but you can hear the hosts families footsteps upstairs pretty clearly. This was not an issue for us but just something to know before you book. 2. The driveway is very steep. Most sedans probably couldn’t park in the upper spot because of the angle to get over. Also, it is a pretty tight fit with two cars but doable. These two things did not negatively impact our stay and we hope to return to this rental in the future! Just something I would want to know when booking.
