Located just north of The University of Texas, this modern studio showcases how green buildingcan coexist with a historic landmark, the Fruth House. Designed as a photography gallery, creative use of space achieves a spacious feeling. Completed in February 2012, it incorporates “green building” concepts: LED lights, solar panels, efficient heating/AC, and tankless water heater. A queen-sized Murphy bed, fully-equipped kitchen, and comfy furnishings on a century-old reclaimed wood floor provide visitors with a home base to explore Austin. Approximately 450 sq. ft. of air conditioned space plus a 70 sq. ft balcony with chairs and table. Centrally-located, guests can catch the UT shuttle (75 yards), or walk to UT (1 mile), Central Market, and nearby restaurants along the “Drag” (Guadalupe) and in Hyde Park; we are near several hospitals (Austin Heart, Seton, St. David’s, University Medical/Brackenridge, and Dell Children’s) and the Capitol. UT scholars, visitors, sports fans, athletes (especially rowers!) and live music aficionados—all are welcome to enjoy our Gallery House.

Murphy Bed note: This is a NORMAL QUEEN size bed. It is just stored vertically. It rests on a 155 lb. substantial frame and is in no way similar to a skinny fold out bed from a couch. It is made by the original Murphy Bed Company in Farmingdale, NY, the same way it has been made for the past 70 years.

Non-smoking house and premises.

No pets. No exceptions.

Minimum 2 night stay. 24 hour booking notice (no 'same day' booking except for previous clients).

Not suitable for young children as there is no 'safety gate' for the entry to the stair well.

Owner has a Border Collie, a Dalmatian, and a Border-Collie-wanna-be (mut) in a fenced yard from time to time attached to the main residence. They have never seen the apartment and never will.

    The title sums it up. The apartment is full of technology of every variety. I know Rice does a great job giving a rundown for the equipment. The apartment itself is pristine without a single spot or blemish... anywhere. I would have enjoyed getting some rain because the A-Frame roof would make things fun. It is also a very green apartment with energy savings throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending this apartment and plan to make this property my go-to location whenever Krystal and I are in town. Very nice.

    The appartment was very comfortable. I and my wife especially liked the balcony. Everything was so clean. Pam and Rice were very helpful in getting us oriented in Austin of 2018 and also with the latest technology for the technologically-challenged which we are! I really love the climate in Austin, hot and dry. And the air-conditioning in the appartment gave us sufficient respite. The bed and convertible sofa were very comfortable, especially for my wife who was already suffering from a broken rib when we arrived at gallery house. The rest and repose at the gallery house and the climate in Austin did her wonders. The appartment is so well-situated, only a few blocks from the university and about a half mile at the most from a really great supermarket. We're looking forward to renting this appartment again next year.

    This garage apartment is approximately 10 minutes from Frank Erwin Center at UT. Great location to attend concerts. Easy access to freeway. Super clean and plenty of extras in case you forget to pack something.

    My daughter and I needed a place to stay during the 2nd weekend of Austin City Limits music festival, and were lucky enough to come across this gem of a home. The owners, Rice and Pam, are extremely nice people--accommodating, communicative, and welcoming. They provided every comfort of home plus more. On Sunday it was forecasted to rain, so Pam brought over ponchos for my daughter and I to take along, they provided mats to take with us for sitting, umbrellas, etc. This is the most well-appointed HomeAway rental we've ever had the opportunity to stay in. We will be back!

    This was our second time to stay at the Carriage House, and it was every bit as good as the first, and then some. So long as the gods continue to smile upon us, this is the only place we will stay when traveling to Austin. Rice is everything we look for in a host. Accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable, yet not overbearing or intruding. The location is solid and safe. If the traveler be Goldilocks, Rice and his Carriage House are the perfect bowl of porridge, the perfect sized bed, the perfectly comfortable bear house. What I'm getting at is that everything about our stay was perfect. Stay at the Carriage House. You'll be glad you did.

    Stayed here while visiting my daughter this past weekend. It was just what I wanted for a stay on my own. I felt perfectly safe and relaxed. Quiet street within walking distance of a park and some restaurants. Apt is as stated. I especially appreciated a couple of small items; a magnifying mirror and make-up remover wipes (which I forgot). I imagine that thanks goes to Pam. I appreciated the quiet and restful time I spent reading or sitting on that balcony. I even learned to appreciate Alexa. Lots of windows, books and art to enjoy. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
