This adorable guesthouse is perfectly situated to see the best parts of Austin. Conveniently located just blocks from the UT campus, there are coffee shops and great restaurants just blocks away. In a 5 minute Uber you can be in the heart of downtown for amazing night life.

This guesthouse is a second story garage apartment in a large backyard. This unit is completely private with its own entrance and parking spot. The guesthouse is located about 30 feet from the front house, so there is ample privacy and space for guests. If you have more than one car, there is plenty of free street parking.

This guesthouse includes a small second story balcony, the indoor space, plus a parking spot. The check in instructions are entered into the listing, which includes a key code to access your unit.

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.

This rental is perfect for UT games, concerts at the Moody Theatre, local music festivals, and anything happening downtown. This is one of the closest neighborhoods to downtown Austin.
We don't have a ton of rules for this house. We just ask that guests wash their own dishes and take out their trash before checking out. Check out is at 11am.

No smoking of any kind including cannabis is allowed inside. There is a chair on the front patio with ash trays for outdoor smoking.

    I thoroughly enjoyed staying in this garbage apartment. It is obviously very, very old with the imperfections that come with age. It was spotless and well appointed. I loved the location, even though it is close to I35 with the road noise. The neighborhood is a true neighborhood with the typical mix of original and original turned to charming. Very convenient to Mueller and other key attractions.

    Did not stay once we pulled up. Didn’t seem like a safe set of stairs up to the room.

    The charmer was a bit less than charming. The lock wasn’t broken and during a six day stay never got fixed. Steps are tricky at night and owners didn’t respond to request to fix the porch light. Also was nice inside but missing some essentials like a place to put your clothes. Next to highway which wasn’t too noisy but not the nicest spot to be.

    I stayed here for a short, solo writing retreat. The guest house was spacious for one person, much better than a hotel room! I appreciated the desk and table space in front of windows, which made writing less torturous. The property was easy to find and close to UT campus, grocery stores and coffee shops. I would definitely stay here again.

    The property is conveniently located near downtown, the Capitol, and the Moody center. And it’s pet-friendly, which was great for me and my little fur buddy! I also liked that there was off street parking.The apartment itself is clean and quaint.My only problem was with the keyless entry keypad that doesn’t work very well (at least not getting the first number to work).Also, I didn’t feel very comfortable walking my dog alone at night because it is located right by the highway and it felt like an empty slightly eerie neighborhood,
