About this property

Luxury Guesthouse just two blocks from SoCo

This luxury downtown property is ideally suited for one or two people but can sleep 4 guests in two queen beds. Located just two blocks from S. Congress (SoCo) and Lady Bird Lake, it's the perfect place for a weekend getaway or reprieve from a business trip. Walk to arts and entertainment or stay in and enjoy the privacy of the beautiful grounds. The guest house is an open space with 360 square feet and a 15-foot cathedral ceiling with exposed beams. There is a Queen bed on the main level and a queen bed in the loft plus one bathroom. The kitchen has everything you need including, one electric hotplate, microwave/convection oven, coffee pot, tea kettle, toaster, blender, under-counter refrigerator, and outdoor gas grill. The dining table seats four and the outdoor space has three club chairs, one additional chair, and a hammock. The owner lives on site but the outdoor space is separated by a fence. The house was built in 1928 and resembles a European cottage. The guesthouse was constructed in 2006 and recently remodeled in 2021. The property and grounds have been published in various magazines, featured in commercials, and have been open for public outdoor garden tours. Casement windows surround the guest house with beautiful views of the gardens and numerous heritage Live Oak trees. Google fiber is available for high-speed internet access. This property is for the exclusive enjoyment of paying guests only. There is a strict noise ordinance by 10:30 p.m.

If Only We Could Have Stayed Longer...
My husband and I have stayed in some top-notch hotels all over the Austin area and this was by far our favorite trip. Michelle's guest house was in a prime location, within walking distance to South Congress Ave. We walked to brunch, our morning coffee, shopping, and "home" after a dinner and drinks out. It was quaint, quiet and cute. The guest house is tastefully decorated and makes you feel like you're at home, away from home. The patio was beautiful and was surrounded by live oak trees. We only wish we could have stayed longer and are already planning our return. Thanks again Michelle, you were an excellent host!

Fun Weekend in SoCo
The stay was just as described. Lovely, quaint, and quiet with a wonderful location and atmosphere. We enjoyed our visit in the guest house. Thoughtfully laid out and designed. Especially loved morning coffee on the patio.

Special property…water issues
Very special property with nice touches. We really enjoyed having the fire during the winter. Cozy and romantic. Perfect location! The check in instructions mentioned hot water issues. I was able to get hot water in the shower, but only by using the “hot” tap only. I could not get hot water in the sink without a lot of trial and error. Super nice property, however some plumbing issues should be fine-tuned at this price.
