Barton Springs Hideaway. On the Park at Barton Springs Pool, mins to Downtown

Located directly across from Barton Springs Pool at Zilker Park, you can be steps away from a majority of the outdoor activities that make a visit to Austin so amazing while still having the convenience of being only two miles from the center of downtown.

The Hideaway is the downstairs apartment in our newly built home, designed to accommodate out-of-town family and friends when they come to visit. With two bedrooms, two baths, an open concept, a large kitchen, and lots of beds/pullouts, it’s the perfect basecamp for families or groups of friends that are looking to explore Austin.

The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances, tons of counter space, a bar top island and a dining area that seats six. The open concept extends into the living room with lots of seating, a cozy pullout sectional and another nook with a desk.

The back bedroom is tucked away off the living room with a large TV, a queen bed, private bath with tub, and a view of the woods.

The front bedroom boasts various sleeping options with a queen bed, lofted twin, and a convertible sleeper. Attached to the second bath with a large walk-in shower, it has a TV and corner view that faces the park.

Just outside the kitchen there are two small terraced patio areas built into the hill along the woods with dining for six and an area to grill. The outdoor areas are meant for hanging out, however, these spaces provide limited privacy since the area is not fenced in and faces the road along the park.

Please note that you will be renting the lower portion of this home which is setup like a duplex. Just like hotels with rooms above them or apartments there is a level of noise that travels between units. A majority of the time, there will be a family of four living upstairs. Our rates are adjusted to take this into account and if you have any reason to believe that this could be a concern for anyone in your party then we’d suggest you find another place that you would be more comfortable staying at when visiting Austin. Additionally, with the home being directly across from the park and situated along the road to the parking lots to Barton Springs, you can also expect to hear road noise and the hustle and bustle of park goers, especially on the weekends during peak times.

To access this property you will have to use stairs. The home is situated at the bottom of the hill along Azie Morton Rd. The property has a short steep driveway as the approach to an uncovered gravel courtyard that can be used to park one car, with room for a second car to park directly behind on the inclined driveway. From that parking spot guests will need to go up ten stairs to enter the home.

Prior to check-in, we will send you detailed directions to ensure a seamless arrival. Special requests like pack and plays or high chairs can be requested prior to arrival.

Great location
Great location and spacious living quarters. Kitchen was well stocked and check in was a breeze. Take note of the description - the driveway was very steep and there were little feet running around upstairs, nothing that would deter us from staying again but just something to note if you’re booking!

Nice Spot, Great Location, Could Improve
Great Location, nice property. Did not like the policy of requiring that I pay for damage insurance or a $3k deposit. On top of the known %30-40 of fees and taxes you’re going to incur on these rental property sites, I did not appreciate being cornered into that additional expense. Coffee machine had not been cleaned to the point of being very moldy. Not a big deal but definitely clean that thoroughly. The property above theirs rental was quite noisy as well.

NICE HOME AND GREAT LOCATION
Visiting Austin to see our son at UT. Home was really nice for the three of us and to get him out of his near campus apartment for a weekend. Home was VERY well appointed with everything you need to dine in if you wish to cook or close to great restaurants if that is your jam. My son appreciated record player in the living room which he'd NEVER personally seen before, and I told him how great vinyl sounds with the old school pops and cracks as we got pretty deep into a Boston album provided by the hosts. If you like to walk, this home is DIRECTLY across the street from Barton Springs pool and the network fo trails that snake along the shores of Barton Creek and the Colorado River through Austin, Just be mindful the driveway is steep and I recommend backing in to make it easier when you depart. Hosts were great and made the stay VERY easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend this location. I plan to stay again in the future if available.

Spacious and clean
This property is wonderful. It’s located across the street from Zilker Park. We just walked over and enjoyed the park. The unit itself is new. Spacious. Clean. And comfortable. If you’re sensitive to noise, there is some noise during the day from upstairs. But totally quiet from 8 pm to 7 am. We enjoy our stay very much.

Beautiful!
Great location in Austin and close to many of the great attractions in & around Austin. The home is well laid out and very comfortable. The hosts were responsive and friendly. You can hear the pitter patter of little feet upstairs in the main home but it was minimal and not disturbing to us. Highly recommend a stay here.

It was nice
Good place to stay, right across from park. Parking is a bit scary on steep stope of driveway. The place was clean except the floor is very dusty, since we all prefer to be barefoot at home this was a small issue where our feet got dirty quick. We rinsed and just wore shoes instead. Children can be heard at about 7am stomping and screaming but they provided earplugs so that helped too. Place was very cozy and comfortable in the dining, living room, and kitchen. Bedrooms were clean but bed was very hard and very warm. We sweated in bed a lot even with just the sheet. The host provided a fan in the closet which helped with this a lot and helped make the stay more comfortable. Overall stay rating, I would say 4/5, but the location, kindness of hosts and accommodations, and etc. Definitely all helped make it a 5/5 stay. We don't expect perfection and we could tell they tried their best to make it as comfortable as possible with known issues and provided solutions, that itself deserves 5/5 from us. Great place and definitely recommend.

The best VRBO ever
Easily the cleanest and nicest VRBO we’ve ever had. Everything was new and nice and what you’d like for your own space. Easy in and out. Very welcoming hosts. Lots of nice extras (for exp earplugs in case noises were a problem). Plenty of spices and related things. Nice shampoo and related soaps. Will definitely stay here again if we find ourself in need of overnight accommodations.

Authentic Austin
This property is ideally located in a vibrant part of Austin. We were able to put together a fine Thanksgiving for 11 people. Parking for more that 2 vehicles might be a challenge but we got it done as the owners were out or town. Great location close to Barton Springs and popular restaurants. Very neat place, very up to date and clean. Can’t recommend enough!

Clean, beautiful, & well-appointed house
The house was very nice! I have to say for those reading reviews that if you are the type to want quiet time or privacy then this is not the house for you. It’s on a busy road and the cute family upstairs can’t help but make noise. They do provide earplugs. Overall we loved our stay so that’s why we couldn’t give less than 5 stars.
