I live full time with my husband Andrew, and we have owned this property for 15 years while East Austin bloomed around us. We are both artists, a jewelry designer and touring musician, and frequent travelers. We have stayed in a wide variety of bnb's and hotels and have taken those experiences to try and create a space that is perfectly appointed, comfortable and authentic. We both love Austin and have been firmly rooted in the community of East Austin for the last 13 years, but have been residents of Austin for 20+. Our insiders guide to Austin is a true reflection of the places that make east Austin unique and are often owned by friends, collaborators and colleagues.

We only use the hot tub when we know our guests are not using it and are out. If we see our guests enjoying it, we're not going to join them and always give our guests space and privacy to enjoy it on their own. There is plentiful free street parking. Parking in the driveway parking can be arranged for special circumstances with advanced approval.

We take maintenance of the hot tub very seriously and you should never have any issues with water quality or cleanliness. We have a tenant in the tiny house that shares the backyard but they will employ their own blackout curtains whenever they notice the tub is in use and they are present.
