East ATX Luxury Home + Saltwater Pool + Near Downtown + on Lady Bird Lake Trail
Heated salt-water plunge pool. Porch swing, fire pit, people & bird watching directly on Lady Bird Lake hike & bike trail. 1 mile to Downtown/Rainey St. Walk to top foodie restaurants.
Enjoy the thoughtful, personal touches of our family home, including a well-stocked kitchen, 1929 Steinway grand, iconic art, fireplace, & gathering space we have intentionally curated for our own beloved creative community. Ideal for company off-sites.
Unlike most properties in this area, this is not a management company; Sarah is a devoted host who cares about you having an authentic Austin experience. Every personal detail and local suggestion is her way of welcoming you.
We welcome high-end bachelor and bachelorette groups who fully agree to our ethos of total respect for our home and our neighbors. This is not the house for a binge-drinking getaway. We enforce this policy to ensure our community remains a peaceful, welcoming place for everyone. In return, we promise to give you our utmost respect and excellent hospitality.
Unique Experiences Await! As a multiple Austin Music Award-winning jazz singer and songwriter, Sarah is happy to help you book local musicians to play a private living room concert right here in the home. We personally host local legends regularly, and this unique experience is a fantastic way to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy Austin's legendary music scene.

Sarah’s home is a gem!! Thoughtfully curated, well stocked, and beautiful! It was a great home base for our weekend in Austin, with great space to hang out inside and out. Unfortunately, we had a car break in just out front, but that had nothing to do with Sarah or her wonderful place, just a reality in today’s world!!
Our family of 12 visited Austin and stayed here. The kids had a great time with the distributed bedrooms. A cozy pool and spacious living area. The musical instruments were an add on given our kids were well versed with all types. Location was very convenient to capital, univ etc.Some possible improvements we felt are keeping the pool clean more frequently and providing better curtains to the upstrairs bathroom adjacent to the neighbors window.Overall the stay was great. The pictures in the frontyard came out great !
This property is great! It is perfectly located just outside downtown and a short ride from the airport! The photos are very accurate and the house is very comfortable for a large group. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The house is graciously stocked for families/large groups. The owner is extremely responsive prior to and throughout the the stay.
What a wonderful stay. We filled the house and little studio with family and Sarah couldn't have been a better host. Decorated Christmas tree included! The place was perfect for our get together, right down to the piano. We baked and cooked and the place was comfortable and perfect for our stay. Family runs along the river, too. Thanks Sarah

Great, clean house and easily accommodated 8 of us
This is a very clean, organized, and nicely decorated house with a great layout to accommodate multiple people and/or couples. Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish and you'll find everything you need in a nicely organized binder once you arrive at the house. As for location, downtown was just a 2 mile uber ride away or there are a few eclectic (Austin vibe) neighborhood bars and restaurants within walking distance. We also enjoyed the direct accessibility to the trail around the lake.
Absolutely wonderful and responsive host with great amenities. The pool was actually heated (I’ve been to plenty of pools that say they’re heated, but still aren’t warm enough to enjoy during cold weather, but this one was). The house is a little old, so my only advice would be to have a plunger in at least one of the bathrooms 😅 everything was great overall!
Sarah’s place was amazing! It fit our group perfectly and location was close to lots of good spots and easy to get around. Check in and check out process was easy and she let us keep bags inside after checkout. The addition of the plunge pool was such a treat for us to cool off in the Austin heat. The owner did stay on property in the backyard garage apartment which wasn’t expected, we saw her twice but wasn’t an issue.
We rented this lovely home for our son’s UT graduation weekend, the home was lovely we were so comfortable, location was great and Sarah was a wonderful host!
Sarah was a fantastic host. She was very prompt when answering messages. The house is absolutely perfect with lots of space, very comfortable beds, great entertainment space and is located only a few miles from downtown. I would stay here again! Thanks, Sarah!
Great house in Austin that was close to everything. We had 9 people in our group and we were very comfortable. The house is beautiful and the newly renovated front yard is awesome! Sarah is a wonderful host and was very helpful with anything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful stay and communication with Sarah was easy and clear. To start Sarah was able to a accommodate a early check in for our group and when we arrived we were surprised with how beautiful the property was! There was several great things included in the home that weren’t listed in the description but I won’t spoil the surprise for the next visitors. All I will say is you won’t be disappointed just book!
The place was perfect and exactly as described! Super quick Uber/Lyft rides to downtown and a few cute restaurants within walking distance. Also the fridge was stocked with a few snacks and drinks when we got there, which was a plus. Would totally stay here again!

Beautiful house and fabulous location!
My group of 12 was extremely happy and comfortable in this beautiful house! The location was ideal and there were great restaurants within walking distance, as well as easy parking around the house. Sarah was the best host we could have asked for in Austin! She offered to help us book paddle boarding, allowed us to check in early and check out late, and left us a welcome basket with wine and snacks! She truly thought of everything to make this a great stay for us and was always available via text if I had any questions. I had a great experience all around and highly recommend this house!

Clean, spacious, comfortable. The host was very accommodating and had everything we needed!
This house was perfect for our girls weekend. We had plenty of space for 10 people and felt at home right away. The porch swing was awesome and nice to be right on the trail! We were able to walk a few place and loved the location. Thank you for a great house and glad we made new memories there : )

Absolutely Amazing!
My organization rented this house to do an all-girl retreat. It was amazing! The owner made sure we had everything ready with no disruptions. Not to mention the amazing welcoming basket left for us. The house is very homey, very clean, and it has a lot of different things for entertainment. It is in a great centered location too. I loved it so much and would recommend 10/10!
