About this house rental

This comfortable retreat in the hills just west of downtown Austin is the ideal location for a family or a group of friends to explore all that Central Texas has to offer: downtown Austin, the hill country, shopping, outdoor recreation, fine restaurants, as well as special events such as UT Football games, Formula 1, Austin City Limits, SXSW and countless others.

For those looking for a quiet and safe retreat, our home is extremely private on a dead-end street off a dead-end street in the Westlake Highlands area of Central Austin. No through traffic means quiet nights with only the sound of night birds and the rustle of the trees. Even though it feels like you are in the country, you are a short 10 minute drive through beautiful hilly quiet roads to downtown Austin, 15 minutes to UT, 30 minutes to F1, 5 minutes to ACL, 10 minutes to SXSW venues and less than 5 minutes to dining & shopping.

The house is 3400 square feet on a wooded half acre. The base rate is for 6 persons, but can sleep up to 10 people in 4 king beds and 1 queen bed. Children or people who don’t mind a fold out couch can double-up on a queen sofa bed in the master bedroom, increasing the occupancy to 12. We can also make up a couch in the study to increase occupancy to 13 and a queen floor mattress in the upstairs master suite to fit 15 total.

The main floor features the master bedroom with a King bed and an en-suite bathroom with a tub and shower and double vanities. The room also has a couch that folds out into a queen bed. The second bedroom has a queen bed and is next to a half-bath. The main floor also features a great room, a large kitchen with a bar that seats 6 and that opens up to the family room, a dining area that seats 8 and a laundry room with supplies. The outdoor deck wraps around the main floor and features outdoor living and dining areas.

The second floor features a Jack and Jill suite with each bedroom featuring a king bed. The fifth bedroom has a king bed and its own bathroom.

The base rate is for six people, after six, the rate goes up by $75 per person per night.

Need some flexibility on check-in and/or check-out? Check with us for availability and rates.

Outdoor cat on premises has access to the laundry room and garage. If you would like the cat to be removed, we can board him for $50 per night.

It is a beautiful place to stay. Very relaxing and comfortable. Morning coffee on the deck with nature and wildlife. Got to sit with deer while watching the hummingbirds and squirrels in the trees. Also got to meet the friendliest loving cat that would come over and hang out with us on the deck.

Anita’s place was beautiful and perfectly housed our very large group during our stay in Austin. We loved the location and appreciated being able to book last minute as our other rental had fallen through. We appreciated her letting us use the place as a quick touch down for family we were visiting to do pop ins.

We stayed here in May of 2024 for a reunion of long time friends and it was absolutely perfect. Our group was 6 people where we all had separate bedrooms and bathrooms and plenty of common space to enjoy. The house has an amazing wrap around our door deck with scenic views of the hills and area. Great for a glass of wine and socializing..The home was about a 10-15 minute drive from the downtown area, was spacious, well kept and had everything we needed to make our weekend what we wanted and more. Our hosts Anita and Kurt were A++ Always responsive, offered us additional ways to enhance our stay, stocked some refreshments and coffee and welcomed us very hospitably! Would highly recommend this home and hosts for your consideration.
