Adorable Historic Home, Super Close to UT, Moody Center, and Downtown

This adorable 30's bungalow in the heart of Austin is the perfect place to hang your hat on an Austin visit. Located just blocks from UT, the Cherrywood neighborhood has everything you need for experiencing the city. Cool cafes and restaurants are within walking distance including tacos and margaritas, two basic Austin essentials.

The wooden walls and floors have been recently refurbished to give it a chalet vibe (ironic in the Texas summer, but fun nonetheless.)

Cherrywood is by far one of Austin's most loved neighborhoods. All of the houses were built in the 30's through the 50's and have been lovingly maintained through the years. Each block is different, so it's super fun to take long walks in the neighborhood. Plus there are loads of fun restaurants, coffee shops, and taco places within walking distance of this house.

This neighborhood is situated just a few blocks from the north side of the University of Texas campus, so it's perfect for stays that include a visit to UT or a concert at the Moody Theatre. In a 4 minute uber ride, you are downtown with tons of nightlife and entertainment options.

This unit includes one off street parking spot behind the house. If you have more than one car, there is plenty of free street parking in front of the house. We recommend walking and taking Ubers as much as possible though beaus this house is super central and in an area that is easy to navigate without a car.

We allow pets for a $100 pet fee.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Just what we were looking for.

The house and the area was just what we were looking for in our stay in Austin. Nice and quite close to the area we wanted to visit. Very cool little house. Had a really good time.

If you are looking for sleek, modern accommodations, this is NOT the place for you. If you want to feel like you're walking into grandma's warm embrace, book a stay. This historic house is cute and full of personality. The hosts have done an outstanding job decorating -- minimalist so the craftsmanship shines through. The outdoor seating area is private or you can sit on the front porch and watch the world go by. The owners were wonderful. We loved our visit.

Close to UT, good AC, good value

We found this property to be what we needed for the weekend - we were there for graduation at UT and the house slept everyone we needed it to and was remarkably close to the University which made graduation a breeze. Sharing one bathroom can be a bit difficult but depending on your group dynamics you can make it work. We had a good time here and would stay again if we had some reason to for something happening at the University.
