Central Austin/Clarksville gem perfect for SXSW - great location, spacious 4BR!
Perfect location! This spacious oasis in Central Austin is walking distance to the ACL Festival in Zilker Park, SXSW Venues, UT football games, hike and bike trails, and more. Also a quick walk or 5 minute Uber ride to downtown and the State Capitol, the Governor's Mansion and the University of Texas (home to the Texas Longhorns, the Harry Ransom Center, the Blanton Art Museum and the UT Tower), as well as Lady Bird Lake, Barton Springs, Barton Creek Greenbelt, Pease Park, and the Johnson Creek Hike & Bike trail.
It's the ideal set up for ACL, SXSW, UT football games or any of the other 50+ festivals year round in Austin. This 4000 square foot home with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths (2 of them full en suite) is in the heart of Clarksville with 5 star dining, coffee shops, grocery, wine bars, and all steps away. Plentiful free parking with a circle drive in front and ample street parking for overflow. Great place for small groups, family, friends, and business colleagues to stay under one roof. Wonderful shared space with a two story living room and a gigantic fireplace as well as an outdoor deck and BBQ so you and your family and friends can come together to celebrate the season. At the same time, though, if you need to have some solitude for a bit, there is also plenty of privacy. Fabulous blackout shades, jacuzzi tub en suite, and fireplace in+master bedroom downstairs, and 3 private bedrooms upstairs.
The location can't be beat. This home is a gem in Central Austin and is walking distance to all downtown or Zilker Park festivals, 6th Street, the Capitol, Lady Bird Lake, the University of Texas, and hike and bike trails. With its high ceilings, top end appliances, gorgeous slate flooring and original hardwoods, 3 fireplaces, granite counter tops, circle drive (for ample parking), and a backyard oasis including outdoor kitchen, deck, and water feature.

For those interested in the great outdoors, there is fabulous swimming in the icy cold waters of Barton Springs (68 degrees year round) or local hang out, Deep Eddy pool. Austin offers beautiful hiking and mountain biking along the Barton Creek Greenbelt also walking distance from the house. In addition, if you are a jogger or want to go for a leisurely bike ride or walk, Lady Bird Lake has trails ranging from 3-12 miles long -- this too is walking distance from the property. If you are attending any one of the various festivals downtown or in Zilker Park, it is within walking distance or a short Uber ride home.

Walk to one of the best bar scenes in Texas (6th Street) and to many of Austin's best restaurants, including Austin's Michelin starred Jeffrey's restaurant which is just a two blocks away. Lions Municipal Golf course is less than a mile away.
While you are in Austin, be sure to go see live music at the Austin City Limits Moody Theater downtown or the Continental Club on South Congress, catch a show at the nostalgic Paramount Theater downtown, take a boat ride on Lake Travis, have fantastic Tex Mex at Maudie's or BBQ at Franklin's, catch a UT football, basketball, or baseball game, go see the Gutenberg Bible at the Harry Ransom Center, and the powerful collections at the LBJ Library and Museum, go shopping at the fun boutiques along South Congress and pick up one of the best pizzas you'll ever eat at Home Slice Pizza, or stop in at one of the gourmet food trailers, take a tour of the State Capitol, the UT towner, and the Governor's Mansion, enjoy some of the best golfing in Central Texas at Barton Creek Country Club, go for a day of pampering at the Lake Austin Spa, or head down 1-35 for 30 miles and shop at one of the largest outlet malls in the nation.
Don't forget to see the bats that come out under the Congress Ave. bridge at sunset!

We had 8 people for Thanksgiving in the home. The kitchen, family room, and dining room area was superb for a family gathering. The home is well located and walking distance to a number of nice dining options. A great place to stay.
We had 5 girls staying here and the home was very spacious and comfy. Our only comment is that the cleaning staff needs to make sure they look for cobwebs and dust a bit better. We would stay again though. Host was extremely kind and responsive.

Best Location & Sweetest Host!
We loved being walking distance to so many fun restaurants and Laura was so helpful! We had a great time.
I stayed here last weekend and loved it. The location was excellent and the home was more than enough space for 8 adults visiting Austin. The hosts were also fantastic. I would definitely recommend booking!
Our group had a great time and felt comfortable during our weekend in Austin. The home location is close to all the fun areas while also having a great market and taco shop within walking distance.
To start, this home in the beautiful Clarksville neighborhood is within walking distance of so many great places, from the grocery store to the coffee shop, park and excellent restaurants. It's also a short drive or Uber ride to the entertainment district with restaurants, live music venues and many other nightclubs. It's also not a far drive from the Austin airport.
The home itself is quite cozy and spacious, as well. Great kitchen and outdoor patio, too...and with a grill in case you want to cook out. We got really lucky, and can't recommend this home any higher.
Stayed here with 7 of my buddies from out of town for our spring break and it was the best trip ever. The house was perfect size for our group even a little bigger than needed! Wonderful amenities and perfect location with a cute neighborhood Main Street with restaurants, coffee shops, bars, grocery stores, and parks literally one block away. Also, for bars and clubs in austin the Main Street is 6th which was within walking distance away from the house making no Ubers necessary! Host was beyond nice and fabulous. COULD NOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!!
Great location, lots of space in the house and host was very easy to communicate with. Overall we had a great stay. One negative for us was the furniture in the great room. Furniture is low to begin with and when you sit on it you sink in. Seems like you are close to sitting on the floor.
There were some issues with the house cleanliness. The master bathroom had vomit on the toilet that hadn’t been cleaned from the previous visitors. There were also major problems with the house security that we had to constantly communicate with the house owner on.
We greatly enjoyed hanging out in the two storey living room. Plenty of bedrooms, two with ensuite bathrooms. Check in and out were super easy. Great location with nearby restaurants and downtown Austin a little over a mile away. Highly recommended.
My team had a wonderful experience with this rental! The property manager met with them at the house to show them around and made sure they were settled with everything they needed. It was easy and fast to communicate with them and they answered all our questions thoroughly. The location is great and so close to so many fun and interesting things in Austin. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area!
We came to Austin with a group of guys for a bachelor party. This house was perfect. Lots of space, very clean and comfortable. Laura met us at the house for our arrival and walked us through. The neighborhood is fantastic...quiet residential area with lots of very close locations for groceries and a meal if you do not want to stray far but close enough to downtown to walk for get an inexpensive Uber/Lyft. I highly recommend the Galaxy Cafe for breakfast. We all had a blast and if I make it back to Austin I will definitely look Laura up for this house to stay in again! Made our weekend fantastic!

Good Stay
The house was great location wise, and plenty big enough to host a large group. The neighbors on one side are apparently a little sensitive, but that's not a reflection on the owners. Only suggestion would be to upgrade TV package. With the Masters/NHL playoffs/NBA playoffs all on it was frustrating not to get the broadcasts. Thanks to Laura and her husband for accommodating us, would stay here again.

Amazing location near downtown
House was perfect for large group, owner was easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating. We made a special request before check-in and the owner, who was out of town at the time, went out of her way to make it happen. Would highly recommend.
