About the host
Hosted by LARRY W MCMAHAN
Welcome -
In the last 10+ years of Superhosting, this home has enjoyed:
- Couples/Groups escaping the winter for 1-2 month stays
- Families celebrating holidays
- Festival goers for SXSW, ACL, Austin Film, Book Fest, - - Fantastic Fest, Austin Marathon, Pride fest, Austin - Rodeo, Food and Wine, Bat Fest, Kite Fest…
- High School/ College reunions for folk to meet in - Austin’s central locale
- Wedding goers
- Those attending funerals
- 4-6 week writer retreats
- Foodie weekends
- Well-mannered Bachelorettes (sorry, can’t do Bachelor parties)
- Folks relocating to Austin and need a little time to get settled
- Wildflower seekers
…the list goes on
The goal is to host folks who want to be close to all the stuff, but still provide a respite from it. To extend a local’s experience in a clean, spacious, fairly-priced home. Everyone is welcome.

Why they chose this property
The Dawson neighborhood is a residential hood nestled between S Congress and S 1st, a stone's throw away from South Congress, a 3 minute drive to HEB (our statewide grocery store) a 6-10 minute drive/uber/bus to downtown and a 12-15 minute drive/uber to the airport.
I wanted to be close enough to all the stuff, but far away for peace and quiet.

What makes this property unique
It's a local Austin experience, books and art and (hopefully) has personality.
