When you visit Austin, come stay in a charming, stylish home in the Zilker neighborhood. A cottage built in 1942 now with many modern updates, this house is 1520 square feet with two bedrooms, 1+1/2 baths, wood fireplace, and a large workspace with ample natural light and views of the professionally landscaped Asian/Southwest style backyard. Hardwood floors throughout. Sleeps 4 comfortably-- two in one queen-sized bed and two in a full, possibly 2 more on a very comfortable sectional couch or air mattress.

This home comes with WiFi, a flat-screen TV with access to digital local channels and Netflix offerings, laser printer, and a DVD player with dozens of DVDs). Other amenities include a washer-dryer, a well-equipped kitchen with dishwasher and coffee/espresso machine, covered front porch with Adirondack chairs, and a backyard with charcoal grill and fire pit.

The house also comes equipped with a convertible crib/toddler bed and high chair, and has been nominally child-proofed for families with small children. There's a side yard/run for dogs as well as a medium-sized dog door, and a two-car carport.

Walk to Alamo Drafthouse movie theater for dining, drinks, and special film events, the Highball restaurant/lounge, award-winning Uchi restaurant, and to the Saxon Pub, South Lamar's venerable home of live music. You can also easily walk or bike to Zilker Park, Barton Springs, restaurant row (Uncle Billy's BBQ/Brewery, Shady Grove, Chuy's, and Austin Java, among others) and several yoga studios. (There's a yoga mat here for your use.) You're a mere half mile away on tree-lined streets from the Hike and Bike Trail, which provides more than 10 miles of trails around Lady Bird Lake; 1.5 miles away from Whole Foods and from Auditorium Shores; and less than 2 miles away from shopping, dining, and live music on South Congress.

Perfect for SXSW Film, Interactive, and Music festivals and walking distance from the Austin City Limits Music Festival, this home is less than five minutes from Downtown and is centrally located for all Austin events; it's a comfortable place as a base for Austin recreational activities, as well as for temporary housing for new transplants relocating to Austin.

I am the owner/operator of Emerson Properties and manage multiple short term listings around Central Austin. All of my properties are very well kept and nicely appointed. If you're not seeing dates available that you need, please inquire and I'd be happy to assist you in finding another fantastic rental.

Great for families

5 of 5

We had a wonderful stay and the house was perfect for our family. The location was great as it was within walking distance to Zilker so you could easily make it down there for an afternoon trip or a quick run. It was within walking distance of several restaurants on Barton Springs as well. Even though it was near such a popular area, there was not a lot of traffic within the neighborhood so it was peaceful and quiet. The house itself was clean and simple so the space felt big and comfortable. It had everything we needed and you definitely could tell it was owned by a family with a young child with the added high chair, jogging stroller, etc. available for use. We really enjoyed the backyard as it was perfect for our daughter to play around but also for us to sit and relax at the end of the day.

We would highly recommend this house for anyone with small children or especially looking for a place within walking distance of Zilker or Barton Springs restaurants. We will not hesitate to stay here again when we come back to Austin.

Wonderful, Truly a Home Away from Home

5 Stars! My family and I (two kids) traveled to Austin for a combination of business and pleasure. We wanted to stay in a relaxed comfortable "family" environment. We found it with this charming home! It was clean, well appointed, and even had a crib for our two year old. The location is fantastic as many eateries and attractions are within walking distance. And downtown Austin is just a short drive from the house. The backyard was peaceful and a nice place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We even met two of the neighbors and they were very welcoming. Offering tips of what to do and see in Austin. We recommend the Children's Museum downtown and the Barton Springs swimming complex. If/when we travel back to Austin I hope to reserve dates at this home. Highly recommended!

The house is spacious; comfortable; charming; very, very clean; with lots of great kitchen utensils. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous size of the full bathroom. Brooke was great to work with - very professional and responsive. We would cheerfully stay here again when in Austin.

This is the perfect spot for enjoying the best of Austin---we walked downtown along Town Lake, had breakfast, lunch and dinner at many of the great restaurants on Barton Springs and Lamar, a went for a swim at Barton Springs--all within walking distance. The house was full of character and charm and truly felt like a home away from home.

The home in South Austin was absolutely fantastic. Perfect location, just a 10-15 minute drive from almost everything. Half a block from the Alamo Draft House. The home was very comfortable and well appointed. It had a nice back yard and a very relaxing vibe. We will definitely return again next year!!
