Charming guesthouse with full kitchen, private entrance & fenced patio

Hyde Park Carriage House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This light-filled, well-appointed guest house has all the luxuries and amenities of a boutique hotel with all the charm and convenience of a peaceful and relaxing home. Home-like comforts include a full-size washer/dryer and a well-equipped kitchen, all set perfectly within the space to give you the best possible experience. But with so many great restaurants half a block away, you might not even need the kitchen. The private, fenced outdoor patio with a table and chairs is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or a cool drink in the evening. Complimentary coffee and tea are provided. Guests will also receive a special welcome treat!

This neighborhood may be close to many fun attractions, but Hyde Park remains the kind of neighborhood where people still sit on their front porches in the evenings. The community boasts an extensive collection of historic bungalows and stately mansions and is home to East Dillon High School from Friday Night Lights - the Baker Center, just under a mile from the guest house. Hyde Park's central location is within seven miles of downtown/6th Street, UT, the Texas State Capitol, the South Congress district, Lady Bird Lake, the SXSW center, and much more. Peter Pan Mini-Golf is a local attraction that's been running since 1948 - it's just under seven miles away!

Hot in East ATx

TV never worked, AC was terrible. They finally sent over a tech after 36 hrs. He could not do anything about the TV and suggested it needed to be replaced. The toilet bowl cleaner was dirty and rusty. As a handicapped person, walking up and down a steep paved alley was challenging. Not worth the $$$ allwywn

Awful Experience/Never got inside/ Abysmal management response

-Listing totally misrepresented location and exterior of property - This property is on an alley with entrance gate between garbage cans !! -The photos of exterior are completely misleading. They must be years old. The "patio" has no real vegetation except weeds - everything else green in the photos is now faded plastic! The table/chairs are bleeched white, dry rotted, and we were afraid to sit down in them. -This says it all: the "Welcome" sign on the door is rusted!! -We spent 2 hours at the property - first trying to find it and then trying to get through the door! We were on the phone with local managment and nothing worked. -after the fact we saw in previous reviews that many had experienced difficulty entering and apparently nothing had been done to fix the problem -after waiting in the alley in the Texas sun for nearly two (2) hours we left and found a nice motel with breakfast, happy hour and maid service for less money. -we immediately contacted Vacasa management locally and nationally and asked for a refund - still waiting after almost 3 weeks for Vacasa to call or write us - we have texted and phoned Vacasa multiple times but have never received a phone call from anyone in Vacasa management -This property and misleading listing is a reflection on VRBO

Sister’s Graduation Trip

Thank you for providing us with a nice and comfortable space to return to after our daily activities! We loved the space and neighborhood. I booked this home a couple of days before our planned trip and everything turned out to be amazing! The area was very nice and comfortable and within close range to all the places we wanted to visit. Thank you!!!

Very clean, but outside area needs sprucing up. The codes did not work to enter. Had to call and could only enter by key. Needed info on his to work the tv and ac/heat.

Beautiful little spot in the heart of it all!

A cute, quiet, clean room. Was exactly as it was represented. The only thing we had an issue with was getting into the app with two-part authentication. It would text a code to get in to the app but when you go to grab the code it starts over from the beginning and you need a new code each time. Once I messaged the customer service they sent me the code to get in the door immediately so I could bypass the app. The one hang up did not harm the stay in any way. We had no issue getting in and out after that. Overall, it was a great stay and I will stay here again if it is still available during my next trip to Austin!

Great location

Cozy and charming describe this place perfectly. Just enough space for one or two. Loved the decor. The bathroom was up to date , as was the kitchen. The bed was soft but surprisingly comfortable. Don’t plan on watching tv or relaxing on the sofa…neither of these are recommended. You can’t beat the location and it was very quiet!

Carriage House

Location was where I expected, studio was clean, bed was comfortable. I was disappointed there was no coffee for the first morning to get me started. The couch/futon was extremely uncomfortable. The rose bush by the entry gate needs to be trimmed. The thorns on it scratched me trying to get in the gate.

Disappointed

The place was just ok. Location was fine, but didn’t realize the front door was located in the alleyway. No outside space available. No TV service but you can log into any of the services you currently subscribe to. The quality of the bed wasn’t the greatest. Overall the place was clean and located close to an area with a few restaurants and a small grocery store.

Nice stay for two

The studio-style apartment was cute and had nice amenities including a washer/dryer, nice toiletries, bath robes, comfy bed, etc.. The neighborhood also felt safe and there are restaurants, a bakery and a good cheese shop just down the street.

Great location. Very comfortable.

We enjoyed walking to the nearby Quack's for coffee and pastries every morning. Then, for dinner, just a few steps to some of the best Mexican and Italian food I've ever had. The property has no parking, street parking wasn't a big deal. The place is small but nicely appointed. We had all the privacy of a single unit lot. I would definitely go back. It's a little tricky to fins the entrance upon arrival.

Lock/noise

I think the place was adorable. But we were unable to get in per the instructions. We had to wait almost most 2 hours for someone to come help. She was very nice but only gave us a credit of 25 dollars. Thought that was unacceptable. Sunday night from 10:00pm unti almost 2AM we had tree service in our alley cutting down trees which was very loud and bright.

Clean & Updated- Perfect for a Weekend in ATX

The Carriage house was exactly what my boyfriend and I needed for our weekend trip to Austin. The home (guest home) is extremely well maintained, updated and aesthetically pleasing. I was hesitant on the street parking but it is truly steps from the home, my car felt safe. We were able to lock & leave as we pleased. It is clear the owner's take great pride in their rental. If I'm staying in Austin again, this will be the place I book. IF I had to dig around in my brain for a complaint: I would suggest replacing the electronic lock on the front door all together. It is clear it does not work. The "hard/psychical" key worked just fine & was our only option/way to enter the home. Lack of coffee (k-cups) was a bummer. (I feel like a crybaby for even saying that). Everything was awesome. Book here.

Adorable place in historic Hyde Park

Perfect place to spend a couple of days. Had everything we needed. Very Adorable! Particularly nostalgic because we lived in Hyde Park during graduate school. Thrilled to see the neighborhood vibrant and unchanged. So many businesses we remember from 35 years ago are still there.

Comfy Cozy great location

They’ve done an amazing job with this tiny house. It’s perfectly comfortable for two people and the location could not have been better for this trip. It would have been nice to have more storage for our “things”. Most every space already had something in it. Overall fantastic space- I highly recommend!!

Location, location, location!

Adorable, comfortable little garage apartment with just about everything. Quiet little alley with shady trees and flowering plants that is a half block up the alley to Quacks, Hyde Park Bar and Grill, that cheese shop, Antonelli's, Julio's and more, I would have appreciated an easier way to have coffee or tea in the morning. No supplies and not easy coffee maker or teapot. All else was perfectly lovely.

Thank you so much for letting us stay there. That house is so atmospheric, comfy and very quiet location. Had no problem with getting there, getting inside, parking or anything inside the house. I love places like this, tiny but romantic and atmospheric. Thank you again. Will come back again.
