About this bed and breakfast

Less than one mile to Zilker Park ---stay near everything cool in Austin including Barton Springs Pool. The Peaceful Haven is a spiritual retreat from your busy day or a crash pad at the end of the night. If location, peace, color, comfort and unique art matter you will love my space. This space is behind my house.

We wanted to do a little stay-cation and this was such a fun space for it! You can tell the space has had a lot of love poured into it and was truly unique. We took a bunch of fun rainbow pictures while there. We're looking forward to coming back in the future.

The host was very clear about what amenities were provided and the space available, and it fit our needs perfectly since we planned to be out and about for most meals. It is very close to a lot of Austin staples like Zilker and the Broken Spoke. The host has binders of recommendations which were helpful and also shared customized recommendations in person. If we return to Austin, we'd likely stay here again!
