Location, Host, and Property ALL Top Notch!
We will definitely be coming back to stay with Lyon again if we get back out here! The property was beautiful, well stocked and furnished, well cared for, and had all kinds of comforts for us. Lyon gave us a tour when we first arrived, and also helped us out with all the great local spots to see! I can only think of nice things to say about this rental unit and definitely recommend it for anyone visiting Austin for business OR pleasure.

This property was well-equipped and very comfortable. Lyon was a great host and answered any questions that we had before and during our stay. The wall of glassware was impressive and fun to try with varied cocktails. All bedrooms were great and the bonus house worked well for our group.

Best place in Austin to stay
As the organizer of the bachelorette party, you never know how receptive the host will be. Lyon was by far the BEST host I’ve come across. He greeted me at check in, walked me through the house and the amazing recommendations he put together for Austin. The house was the best layout for a group of 7. Location was prime for all the actives we did. Can’t thank Lyon enough for a wonderful experience.

This place is outstanding
This place is immaculate, super functional, perfect location. Plenty of space to spread out or not -the guest house in the back is very handy. We’ve stayed here several times and decided this year to have Thanksgiving here. Lyon is outstanding, very prompt with his communications & always accommodating. 5 stars all the way.

Everything We Expected Plus Even More!
This was our fifth or sixth vacation rental for our family vacation with all our adult kiddos. East Cesar Chavez tops the list for being very well equipped and very comfortable for all of us. The guest cottage was a bonus - so cute and intimate! We love to cook together and the kitchen was perfect for that - everything we expected plus even more! It's location was within walking distance to many places. The neighborhood seems like a fun one - friendly neighbors and a safe location. We would definitely stay at this property again!

Beautiful home, Amazing location!!!!
Lyons home in Austin, TX is absolutely everything and more. Exactly as pictured. Extremely clean, and homey. It was in the perfect location as well. Walking distance from Rainey street, and a short Uber ride to every other activity we did. (Lake Austin, Pedal Tour in the city, etc). Absolutely perfect for my friends bachelorette party. There is also a cabinet filled with bachlorette items that I read about in a prior review, which was so cute and fun! (We contributed our decor, cups and napkins for the cabinet as well so definitely use the adorable banners I left!!!)

About the host

Hosted by Lyon Gegenheimer

Host profile image
I love entertaining friends and family and hosting guests. I have a degree in Architecture but do not get the opportunity in my professional life to use it. Through property investments and renovations I get to utilize my design skills and attention to detail. I love remodeling properties and seeing spaces change. When traveling I like to splurge on luxury or historically interesting spaces. My hotel or residence, while out of town, must be relaxing and pampering. Traveling for me is all about experiencing the local culture and flavor, especially regional cafes & bars. The design and decor of my guest house was implemented with the thought, "where would I want to stay?"

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is fantastic. We are 4 blocks from the shores of Lady Bird Lake and the Hike & Bike trail that leads to the City of Austin boat house where you can rent kayaks & paddle boards. We are 6 blocks to the Rainey Street entertainment district, 7 blocks to the E. 6th Street entertainment district, and 2 blocks from the E. Cesar Chavez bar district. Within two blocks of the property you will find Bufalina Neopolitan Pizza, Eastside Tavern & Roof top bar, Cenote Coffee Shop, Flat Track Coffee, Kerlin BBQ, Veracruz All Natural, Las Trancas Tacos, Zeke's Fine Liquors, Weatherup Cocktail Lounge, Fast Folks Cyclery & Cafe and The Scoot Inn Bar & Music Venue. Surprisingly we are in a quiet peaceful street where you can get a great nights sleep, but only steps away from all the cool fun spots Austin has to offer!

What makes this property unique

This property is the owner's personal next door guesthouse. As opposed to a vacation rental where you find the minimum (like 2 spoons, 2 coffee cups, 2 towels), this luxurious home is outfitted to the MAXIMUM. Over a dozen towels, kitchen stocked to prepare a gourmet meal (including small appliances), laundry soap, dish soap, dishwasher tablets, toilet paper, paper towels, place mats and cloth napkins for a fancy dinner. Even a ice chest and beach towels that guests can take with them to go boating or tubing. A huge choice of cocktail glasses & wine glasses. Ice maker in the wet bar. Steam sauna in the shower with essential oils supplied for aromatherapy function. There is even a turkey roaster for our Thanksgiving guests. If the house doesn't have it, let me know, and I'll bring it over from my house.
