About this property
Three balconies steps from Barton Springs Pool and Zilker Park
Three balconies and a downtown/Capitol view? You won't find it anywhere else. 28 day minimum stay. Unit is beautifully furnished and pet friendly.
This special unit at Springhollow Condos is a recently-renovated treehouse-like oasis overlooking Barton Springs Pool, Zilker Park and on to downtown. The unit is a multi-level 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath and is packed with thoughtful details. Three incredible private outdoor living areas (over 300 sq ft of additional private outdoor space!) and top-quality fixtures make this space far superior to cookie-cutter rentals elsewhere.
Luxury bath has thermostatic rainfall fixture. Main bedroom has queen sized bed, walk-in closet, TV, and private West-facing balcony. Second bedroom has enormous, sunny patio that is great for al fresco dining and lots of natural light from a loft skylight. Bedroom 2 also has a large desk and chair with two stacked twin beds. Living room has wood-burning fireplace, open floorplan, extendable dining table, and an unbelievable covered patio/sunroom with comfy furnishing and a ceiling fan.
All bedrooms have extra linens and black out curtains. Unit is also stocked with picnic gear, pool-friendly dishes, celebration decorations, dry-bag (for enjoying kayaking or SUP on the lake), coolers, and extra beach towels for the pool.
Two free, reserved off-street parking spaces included, one covered. Complex has private pool, grill, and pool house for entertaining (renovated in June 2024). Unit is small pet friendly and has an optional small doggy door to covered patio.
Walk to Greenbelt, Barton Springs Pool, Zilker Park, Botanical Gardens, Umlauf Sculpture Garden, Long Center, Zach Theater, Alamo Drafthouse, Saxon Pub and more. You cannot find a spacious rental of this quality so close to downtown Austin anywhere else. It is truly one-of-a-kind.
All utilities, wifi, water, and trash pickup included. No smoking or loud parties please. Pet deposit required but small pets are more than welcome. We're a very pet friendly community. Pool key included.
Bonus! If you love staying here (and we know you will) please note that the unit next door (Unit 241) is ours too and is on the market: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1135-Barton-Hills-Dr-APT-241-Austin-TX-78704/62604732_zpid/?view=public

About the host
Hosted by Rachael Ahrens
I gave up fast-paced Austin living for a quiet place in the country about a year ago. After renovating this special unit at Springhollow Condos in 2017, I've transitioned to renovating vintage campers. I'm about to finish a 1964 Airstream Land Yacht Sovereign. I call him the Streamcicle and he's done in vintage orange and cream. He is simply happiness on parade.
I'm also a writer, shih tzu mama, aerial dancer, pontoon captain, and housedress aficionado. My gin collection is pretty stellar too. I'm so glad you're considering Chez Ahrens 242. It is a home build entirely of love and grit...and a little bit of velvet. I also own the unit next door which is a long-term rental. Ask me anything. I'm happy to help you in your quest for the perfect temporary home.
Why they chose this property
I'm devoted to all things Zilker Park. From ACL Festival to simply strolling down the street to Chuy's, the Zilker/Barton Hills Neighborhood is the best in 78704, even the whole city of Austin. I also love that there is a wonderful convenience store and pet shop right across the street for emergency treats for both me and my pup, Brisket.
What makes this property unique
Built in 1981, this property received a full unit renovation in 2017. It now has the best of both eras...updated everything but with a layout and additional outdoor space that easy rivals newer properties. Probably the most unique aspect is the location though. Just steps from Barton Springs Pool, the Greenbelt, Zilker Park, and an easy jaunt to downtown, you can't easily find spaces in Austin that are both natural and urban at the same time.
