Great place close to campus!
We stayed here while going to Austin for a UT Campus tour. This was the perfect place. It was very private with plenty of room for the 3 of us. Lots of restaurants and other attractions in walking distance.

Perfect Wedding Day prep
The bride and her bridesmaids used this property for getting ready for the Wedding at the near by Caswell House. It was the perfect size for relaxing, and have our hair and make up done. The location is great and private but safe. The owners were delightful to work with. Their communication was prompt and answered all of our questions.

Capitol neighborhood treehouse
Great location!! We walked to the university, the capitol, moody amphitheater, congress & 6th street, even across the river. Great coffee shop blocks away too. You don’t need a car if you stay here but the parking is right next to the front door so that’s easy too. The roof deck is such a treat. It feels like a treehouse, you even climb a ladder to get there. There’s shade & a breeze, perfect for relaxing after exploring. There’s another shady deck on the first floor and an adorable book nook under the stairs.

UT - Mom- Daughter Weekend
We loved our visit to Austin! This was, by far, the best place I have stayed in Austin. It is in a GREAT location, spacious and clean. The first floor has cool fabulous big red smooth tile. The hosts were thoughtful and excellent at communicating. It was smooth sailing from the moment we received our confirmation note from Ted and Janelle. It was perfect!

The townhouse was in a great location for accessing downtown, the university area, and south Austin (via rideshares or longer walks). The place was quiet (located in the alley behind the main house), and very clean. Cool spot!

Great Stay
So comfortable, easy and conveniently located. Highly recommend. The only thing to note: the roof deck is accessed by a fairly steep ladder which makes it a bit awkward to use. Climbing up with coffee in the morning was tricky, for example. Just a heads up. Otherwise, fantastic.

About the host

Hosted by Ted Siff & Janelle Buchanan

Host profile image
We’re Ted, a publisher and parks advocate, and Janelle, a homemaker and actress, and we’ve each called Austin home for over 40 years. We know the neighborhoods, fun spots and beautiful places that make Austin so special, and can answer all your questions about where to find the best margarita, bat viewing, natural swimming hole, barbecue and special night out dining. Interested in music, dance, theatre, or museums? We can guide you to those venues as well.

Why they chose this property

We both chose Austin to go to U.T. But we each chose Austin again to live, work and raise our family. We have grown up as Austin has. Austin is sophisticated but never snooty. You can find world class restaurants and bars, and you can wear your jeans and boots to visit them if you like. Just about any cuisine you prefer is available somewhere in the city, from Tex-Mex to Ethiopian. You can enjoy popular music at the hundreds of clubs around Austin as well as at the top-of-the-line Austin City Limits studio, not to mention the Austin Symphony and Austin Lyric Opera. Oh, and all those festivals: ACL, SXSW, Fun Fun Fun Fest, Moontower Comedy Festival, F-1 racing, and more. If you’re up for a drive, you’re just over an hour away from the Texas Hill Country, with its wineries, beautiful scenery, and German heritage. (Or go an hour east and check out central Texas’ old Czech communities. Have a kolache! Visit the Spoetzel Brewery in Shiner which, during Prohibition, stayed in business by producing near beer plus just a little of the regular kind for “medicinal purposes.”) Diverse? You bet. Friendly? Very.

What makes this property unique

The 11 Oaks Townhouse and its companion, 11 Oaks Suite, are in just about the perfect location – downtown, blocks from some of Austin’s best restaurants and clubs, and walking distance to UT and the Darrel Royal Memorial Stadium, gorgeous hike and bike trails, and great shopping. Because of its proximity to all this plus the Capitol, the Austin Convention Center and the Rio Grande campus of Austin Community College, the neighborhood is bustling during the day but quiet at night. The townhouse is comfortable, warm and welcoming.
