There's a full 2 bedrooms with queen size beds to sleep a total of 4 people (total of 4 people includes any children). Complimentary laundry facility is included. The guest home has everything that you would need from dishes, pots and pans, a toaster, stove, refrigerator, table and chairs, towels, and fresh sheets.

The high speed internet (1 Gbps down and 1 Gbps up) connection and wifi are provided by Google Fiber, which is one of the best, fastest, and most stable internet providers in Austin. Google TV / Youtube TV provides one of the most up to date technologies for the best digital TV available.

It's located in the heart of Hyde Park in central Austin within walking distance to restaurants, a bakery, and other local businesses. ASTI, Quack's Mother's Cafe, Julio's, and several other restaurants are close by. There is a public bus stop one block away that will take you anywhere in the city including downtown.

My wife and I live nearby, so we're always available if you have any questions about Austin or need any suggestions for sights to see or places to eat. We hope that you select this wonderful guest house for your stay!

Charmer in Hyde Park
The awesome thing about Hyde Park is that it's still the funky old Austin I remember from when I lived in there in the 90's/00s and this property is a great example of all of Austin's old charm. I loved my stay here--business trip to UT with a teen in tow to revisit Austin. The interior was really nice, the beds were comfortable, the property is on a great street, and the location couldn't be better for an easy walk to UT-Austin or a quick Uber downtown. It's also only 2-3 blocks to the 7 bus line which takes you right downtown every 15 minutes. Plus, it's only a few blocks from a great bakery/coffee shop, one of my favorite long-time local Mexican restaurants (Julios), a grocery store and an Italian restaurant that still makes one of my favorite white pizzas. Also within 1ish mile walk large chain grocery stores (an HEB and Central Market) and a bit longer but equally easy walk to the "Triangle." The property owner was also really easy to work with and really responsive to questions while booking and while we were on sight. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. I lived in Hyde Park for years and it was so very nice to be "home" again.

Wonderful!
This is a lovely place in a quiet neighborhood and in the Hyde Park section of Austin, which is full of fun restaurants and close to UT Austin and downtown. Pete was very responsive and very organized - a handy notebook tells you everything you need to know. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect neighborhood!
Needed a place to stay in the Hyde Park area and loved the treehouse! We got up each morning and took a walk in the neighborhood. Ate breakfast at Quacks and dinner at Hyde Park Bar and Grill-heaven! Perfect for two people!

Very pretty apartment and well furnished!
I liked the space. I would only offer a couple of suggestions: add some curtains in the bedroom as it's extremely bright very early in the morning. And with the color combo, it made the space hard to sleep in (until we bought eye masks). Additionally, the bedrooms could use a mirror. When you have 3 ladies in the apartment, one mirror is not enough. Other than that, it was a nice and very comfortable place to stay during our visit. Thank YOU!

Great Stay
We rented Pete's home for some out of town guests, and it was a great place for them to stay. The home was clean, Pete was really helpful and communicative, and it's in a fabulous location. Thank you!

MARY H., Anchorage, Alaska

great location, quiet neighborhood
This is a really cute older home - character+. The kitchen is great for simple meals. The beds are very comfortable. The one thing we had trouble with was a lack of mirrors which made the bathroom sharing an issue for a family group attending a special occasion and needing to be photo ready. A full length mirror would be nice, as well as just a place to comb to your hair in each bedroom. Otherwise this home is well equipped and comfortable. The owner is very attentive with answering questions and at check-in.

Quiet and felt safe
Very quiet which is most important to us when traveling. Cute and comfortable! Location was great. Not a far drive to lots of things to do in Austin. We could have used a mirror other than the one in the bathroom and/or a fan in the bathroom. Also the light above the front door did not work. We would return. Thank you!
