About this property

Barton Springs Hideaway. On the Park at Barton Springs Pool, mins to Downtown

Located directly across from Barton Springs Pool at Zilker Park, you can be steps away from a majority of the outdoor activities that make a visit to Austin so amazing while still having the convenience of being only two miles from the center of downtown.

The Hideaway is the downstairs apartment in our newly built home, designed to accommodate out-of-town family and friends when they come to visit. With two bedrooms, two baths, an open concept, a large kitchen, and lots of beds/pullouts, it’s the perfect basecamp for families or groups of friends that are looking to explore Austin.

The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances, tons of counter space, a bar top island and a dining area that seats six. The open concept extends into the living room with lots of seating, a cozy pullout sectional and another nook with a desk.

The back bedroom is tucked away off the living room with a large TV, a queen bed, private bath with tub, and a view of the woods.

The front bedroom boasts various sleeping options with a queen bed, lofted twin, and a convertible sleeper. Attached to the second bath with a large walk-in shower, it has a TV and corner view that faces the park.

Just outside the kitchen there are two small terraced patio areas built into the hill along the woods with dining for six and an area to grill. The outdoor areas are meant for hanging out, however, these spaces provide limited privacy since the area is not fenced in and faces the road along the park.

Please note that you will be renting the lower portion of this home which is setup like a duplex. Just like hotels with rooms above them or apartments there is a level of noise that travels between units. A majority of the time, there will be a family of four living upstairs. Our rates are adjusted to take this into account and if you have any reason to believe that this could be a concern for anyone in your party then we’d suggest you find another place that you would be more comfortable staying at when visiting Austin. Additionally, with the home being directly across from the park and situated along the road to the parking lots to Barton Springs, you can also expect to hear road noise and the hustle and bustle of park goers, especially on the weekends during peak times.

To access this property you will have to use stairs. The home is situated at the bottom of the hill along Azie Morton Rd. The property has a short steep driveway as the approach to an uncovered gravel courtyard that can be used to park one car, with room for a second car to park directly behind on the inclined driveway. From that parking spot guests will need to go up ten stairs to enter the home.

Prior to check-in, we will send you detailed directions to ensure a seamless arrival. Special requests like pack and plays or high chairs can be requested prior to arrival.

Fantastic stay - great house - amazing location!

If you want to take in a little Austin culture and you’d like to stay in a spacious, well appointed vrbo - consider this sweet place directly across the street from the Barton Springs pool Zilker Park. Brandon and Kara made sure we were comfortable and felt welcome in their place. Offering their baby supplies (high chair, pack and play) made things all the easier for us three adults and my two month old granddaughter! We even had a minor brief power outage that we discovered later in the evening one night - Brandon was there to fix the problem in minutes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great place!… Especially if you are an outdoorsy type!! Located directly across from Zilker Park, which offers a pool, hiking/ biking trails, canoeing, and entertaining ‘people watching’.Close to many restaurants & downtown governmental buildings.

Great location

Great location and spacious living quarters. Kitchen was well stocked and check in was a breeze. Take note of the description - the driveway was very steep and there were little feet running around upstairs, nothing that would deter us from staying again but just something to note if you’re booking!

Not a place you would want to rent

Nice place but the owners live above and they have young kids.. Their kids woke up early at 6-6:30 everyday and ran above all the room and drop balls and toys which made it very difficult for morning sleepers. If I was renting my basement I would make sure my kids would not be running during those days and keep them grounded at least that early of morning.
