Greetings! One of our recent guests told us our home reminded her of "an open air Costa Rican experience." Thank you for taking time to look at our property. If you are not familiar with Austin, this property and location requires a HUGE FUN introduction… 😊 in a second you’ll see why. While we do not have a private pool or a beach. We do have something so UNUSUAL, spectacular and special we would love the opportunity for us to introduce you to BARTON SPRINGS Pool, the river, Ladybird Lake, Zilker Park and its potential for you. (VRBO should have a filter check box for “OH my gosh you just gotta check out this UNBELIEVABLE location” -so truly spectacular experiences wouldn't be missed.)



We are 7 minutes to ALL THAT IS DOWNTOWN AUSTIN.



Nature and the Park take center stage in this vacation style Zilker Park property.



QUOTE IS REQUIRED FOR ALL HOLIDAYS and ALL MARCH and all OCTOBER dates. (instant booking not accepted)



GREAT flex rates apply. Only $75 per person per night after the first 12 guests. (except holiday and special event periods) These flex rates offer booking confidence like an insurance policy. If you are forced to change the number of guests down the road, you can be refunded for those un-attending guests down to the base of 12.
