About this property

Pool/Spa, guesthouse in the heart of ATX


My name is Kristin and I’m the host of this fantastic home located in the highly sought after Clarksville neighborhood of Austin, Texas. The house was built in 2018 and is our detached, private guesthouse, located in the back of our property. The house is set back from the road, with direct access from the driveway. With my husband and I living on site, I am available as much or little as you need me to be.

The house is designed to comfortably sleep up to two couples, or a family with kids. The upstairs bedroom has a queen bed and a sitting area with a couch that folds down to a twin size bed, which may work for those traveling with children. There is also a pack and play available for your use. On the main floor living room, the couch folds out to another bed to accommodate a second couple.

This property is very popular for business professionals. Centrally located, we are a mile from downtown and only 13 miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The property is located next to the Mopac Expressway, which provides easy accessibility in and out of the neighborhood.

The property is walking distance to several neighborhood restaurants, including a fine dining steakhouse, a Food Network featured taco joint and a local Austin coffee shop. Additionally there is a neighborhood grocer and a market, both a ½ mile from the house.

Here for a concert?! We are great place stay. We are a short scooter ride away from Zilker Park for ACL or 5 minute Uber downtown for SXSW events.

As an outdoorsy adventurist, this is a great place to stay. The house is located ½ mile from the hike & bike trail, which is a 10 mile loop around the popular Town Lake (also known as Lady Bird Lake). Town Lake has several places to rent stand up paddleboards, kayaks, and more. Our favorite place to rent from is Texas Rowing Center.

The property is 1 mile from the luscious greenbelt, which is for great hiking, trail running and mountain biking. The greenbelt is also home to several hidden natural watering holes for swimming.

And speaking of swimming, the home is located near some of the best pools. Within a few miles, are the natural spring pools Barton Springs Pool and Deep Eddy Pool. Also in the neighborhood are Westenfield Pool and West Austin Neighborhood Pool. Right next door to the property (one house over) is a park, with basketball court, playground, splash pad, and more.

In this urban setting, there is some white noise from the nearby interstate and nearby train. From my own experience living on site with my light-sleeper husband and kids, I can assure you it is not too noisy. However, as an extra precaution, I have provided a noise machine and ear plugs if needed. A second noise machine is available upon request. Additionally, both the living room and bedroom have blackout curtains to provide additional sound absorption.

So beautiful and clean!!
We had an amazing time staying here for a few days on our honeymoon. The house is so pretty and comfortable. They even left out some snacks and coffee for us to use. The pool was amazing and the location was perfect to go to places in the city. Would definitely recommend this place!!

Stop Looking!
This property is VERY clean & is extremely comfy! I found myself immediately ordering the bed linens and looking for the make of the mattress!!! The pool is key for cooling down in the Texas heat! The market & cafe at the end of the street at absolutely perfect! I cannot say enough about how perfect this place is! I was sad to leave! Well done Kristin! This place is top notch!

Guesthouse in Clarksville
We really enjoyed this well appointed guesthouse. Though close to MoPac, the neighborhood was very quiet and our stay peaceful. It was a joy to have the pool to look out upon right outside the living area. We didn’t lack for anything as the kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with more than enough pretty things! We would easily recommend this guesthouse and central location when traveling to Austin. Cindy and Rick

Fantastic listing in a great location
Perfect spot for a quick Austin getaway. Centrally located and quickly accessible to just about everything you’d want to do Austin whether it be SXSW, UT, South Congress, or ACL. This very recently constructed property was a perfect layout for our group of 3 but could easily have handled more comfortably. Highly recommend.

Perfect Stay
We came to Austin for Parents Weekend at UT and wanted to be very close to the weekend activities without feeling like we were right in the middle of the chaos. This house was perfect! The location was very convenient, the house was well designed and immaculate and everything was explained very simply and thoroughly. Very nice place, and we hope to stay there again soon!

Perfectly Austin!
I stayed with my three young adult kiddos as we were launching all of them into another year of college! It was a perfect place to stay as it was easily accessible to the UT campus, eateries, local attractions, and Whole Foods. We enjoyed the pool one afternoon and relaxed each evening at the house. Everything you need to enjoy a quick weekend, or a week long stay, is available in the house. I would absolutely recommend!! Will be back for sure.

Central Austin GEM
I was picky. This was our first time to book a VRBO and this stunning, immaculate, clean, accommodating and perfectly located home set the bar high for future bookings! The recently built and beautifully decorated space is something off of HGTV----the owners thought through everything. If you want ideal Austin convenience, clean and beautiful, don't hesitate. BOOK this home now!

Grad trip with my daughters
I took my three teen daughters to Austin for a week to celebrate the oldest high school graduation. We had the best time! Everything was perfect! This was a welcome place to come back to each day. We loved the style and furnishings, the house was spotless and had everything we needed. Comfortable beds, enough space for four of us, a beautiful pool, Close to Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods, walking distance to a little market, coffee and restaurants. I would stay here again!

Beautiful Home - Close to Everything
We had a wonderful stay at this property. We were in Austin for ACL. The location is perfect! It's a very short drive to Whole Foods, Waterloo, many restaurants and bars. It is a short, (1.5-ish mile), walk to Zilker along a nature trail. It was very clean, comfortable, and the property owner was very helpful and accommodating. It has all the amenities and easy parking in the driveway. This will definitely be our top choice for next year!

4 Night Staycation
This home is even more beautiful and serene in person and perfect spot for reflection. I flew into town and my local dear friend stayed here with me. We only left twice to pick up lunch (it’s 100+ degrees outside). Very happily spent time together at this amazing property with tons more space than needed. Excellent place to rest and reset. Highly recommend!

Amazing Property & Great Location!!
We had a great stay at the property. The house is immaculate and was stocked with all that we needed. Kristin has thought of everything! The bed was very comfy and we were not bothered at all by the freeway which says a lot as my mom is a light sleeper. Kristin was very responsive from booking to checkout. The home is minutes from some great restaurants and a few blocks from downtown. I would definitely recommend this property.

The location was ideal in a good neighborhood with some good restaurants and a coffee shop and close to downtown Austin. Very clean and well maintained, nicely decorated and had everything needed and more.

Perfect!
The suite is lovely and very comfortable. It is close to walking / bike trails and Deep Eddy spring - (if you enjoy refreshing lap pool swimming). It was quiet and peaceful, even though it is located close to the freeway . You have the convenience of downtown Austin very near - however the suite feels pleasantly removed from the hustle of the city. The host was pleasant , responsive and helpful .

EXCEPTIONAL PROPERTY!
I have never rented a more well-appointed and clean property...ever! Kristin's place was so well-thought out, I was in awe. Extremely comfortable from the couch to the bed and anything you could possibly want from your host including both Keurig pods and locally brewed beans, as well as a grinder! The rental property is Kristin's back house, which is the last house on the street getting on to Mopac (a busy highway). There is noise, but Kristin supplies a noise machine...use it! I'm a very light sleeper and had no problem! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!

Best Property Ever
I am hesitant to tell the truth about this property for fear that both the rate and utilization will rise and make it not available for my future trips. The property is the most thoughtful, well put together, clean and accommodating property that we have ever rented. The hosts exceeded each and every expectation. Book with confidence and enjoy your visit to Austin with a true home away from home experience.
