East Austin Retreat with Sauna and Cold Plunge

A one-of-a-kind East Austin artist's retreat with a private sauna and cold plunge, tucked into a residential area in the heart of the East Side. Figure 8 Coffee is just one block away, Desnudo Coffee and Veracruz All Natural are about a 10-minute walk, with The White Horse and the bars and restaurants of East 6th nearby.

Soaring cathedral ceilings, warm wood finishes, an upper-level loft, deck walkway, and screened-in porch give this original Austin home its unmistakable personality. Outside, the private yard is made for slowing down—start the morning with a cold plunge, unwind in the infrared sauna, or settle into the screened porch after a day exploring the city.

The home sleeps up to four, with a queen bed in the bedroom and a second queen in the loft. It's an intimate, unconventional place to experience Austin: close to the energy of the East Side, with a quiet retreat to come home to.
