Central Austin Retreat For 16. Walk to SoCo, Downtown & Barton Springs!

Bring your group together in an unbeatable location with comfortable sleeping for 16 and multiple indoor and outdoor areas to spread out and relax.

Walk to Barton Springs / Zilker / SoCo / South 1st / Auditorium Shores / Downtown!
Quiet, Tree-Lined Neighborhood South Of Downtown
Firepit / Outdoor Dining Table / Screen Porch / Roof Deck
Built-In Bar w/Beverage and Wine Fridge
Stocked Coffee Station
12 Beds in 5 Bedrooms (1 King, 3 Queens, 8 Twins)
Unbeatable Value For The Area!

Whether you're here for a wedding, a family reunion, a girls' or guys' trip, this is your perfect escape to relax just a few blocks off Barton Springs Rd. Unwind after your Austin adventure, in a quiet neighborhood, yet still in the heart of the city!

Start your day with a coffee or latte from the complimentary Kuerig. Listen to the sounds of nature on the screen porch, or if it's chilly, stay in, light the fireplace and cozy up.

As the day progresses and people are coming in and out, come together in the open living / kitchen / dining / bar, or spread out in any of the other communal spaces:

Outdoor Living Room (screened)
Backyard
Front Balcony
Master Balcony
Roof Deck
Attic 'Bunk' Room w/ Smart TV (parents - this is *your* space to send the kids!)

As the day ends, pour a drink from the bar, light the firepit, enjoy a little Netflix on the screen porch, or take in the sunset from the roof deck or front balcony.

Five separate rooms with one bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, there is plenty of private space to accommodate all types of groups. Families can sleep 4 couples in the king and queen beds while children get their own hideaway; friend trips can have private beds for up to 12 (16 with some shared beds). Guests in the master can enjoy a unique his-and-her bath, a jetted tub, and a private balcony.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would need for a home-cooked meal, or you can visit one of the dozens of incredible local restaurants that are within walking distance! Mix your roadies at the bar, or walk down the hill for one of El Alma's killer margaritas (HH 7 days week, 3-6pm, just sayin'...).

Sit down to dinner and conversation at a dining table that seats 8 or take your dinner alfresco on the private patio table, which also seats 8. All three TVs have Rokus to connect with your favorite streaming services in case you're in the mood to stay in!

But when you're ready to get out, you're just a short walk away from some of Austin's best attractions with something for every age and interest! Our Guidebook will show you the way!

At dusk, if you're up for crossing Barton Springs Road, head to the hill with a picnic to watch the city light up as the sun goes down (and parents there's a HUGE playground and light-up splash pad there too ;-)

BABY STUFF: Folding Mini Crib, Baby Bath, Folding High Chair, Baby Plate Set

IMPORTANT NOTE: NO GLITTER, CONFETTI OR SMALL 'SCATTERABLE' OBJECTS OF ANY KIND.
Banners, streamers, decorative plates, cups, napkins, straws, balloons ... all fine. But NO glitter, confetti or small 'scatter' objects of ANY shape, size or kind. It is very difficult to clean and ends up in our city compost. Additional cleaning fines will be assessed if we have to clean any of the above.

Just three blocks from two of Austin's most famous outdoor spaces - Butler Park and Auditorium Shores - Bouldin is a quaint, historic, old-Austin neighborhood on the edge of the Art District just across Lady Bird Lake from Downtown.

A mix of historic and modern homes, local restaurants, eclectic shops, pocket parks, and creeks; you’ll love the access to everything Austin has to offer while enjoying Bouldin’s quiet, tree-lined streets and neighborhood feel!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had a great stay, highly recommended! Our 2 families (11 people total) were comfortable. Most of the kids enjoyed the 3rd floor sleeping/hangout space but still plenty of bedrooms for adults and kids who didn't want the bunk room experience. But the thing that put our stay over the top were the small details. The "in case you forgot" basket, labels on the light switches, and excellent communication. We loved the location as well. Will book again the next time we stay in Austin!
