Best Central Location/Private Urban Oasis/ Travis Heights Near SoCo & Downtown

Travis Heights is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Austin and is tucked under expansive Live Oak trees that are hundreds of years old! Tiny House may be tucked away in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, but it's an easy walk to the best of South Congress (SoCo), the Congress St. bats, and is also close to downtown and East-side restaurants, bars and clubs. The Whip-in, a close walk, is an eclectic restaurant, bar and live music venue whose origins were a simple corner store. Want some quiet time? Take a walk through the neighborhood to Big Stacy Park, or swim in Big Stacy Pool- open all year round! Travis Heights has the best of everything!

This was in a great neighborhood. The host had all the toiletries and snacks! We were visiting our adult kids and this place provided a gathering place during the day. Thanks so much.

Terrific Tiny House
Excellent location and well-appointed tiny home. We had everything we needed, street parking was readily available, and the house was convenient to everywhere we visited while in town. Amy was a great host. We recommend this home!

Tiny House
Really cute house. Set up is very minimal. The host was amazing sent really in-depth emails about what to see and do in the local area. Also very clear instructions on how to access the property. Very responsive to issues that we had whilst staying there. Unfortunately didn't get to meet the host, but met her two cats who were adorable. We stayed primarily for the ACL festival. The festival grounds were within walking distance (if you like walking). Close to congress street and Zilker Park, lots of opportunities to paddleboard and kayak on the river.

Perfect space!
This mini house was the perfect size, space, and location for our extended weekend in Austin. It was quiet, safe, and had all the amenities needed. It felt super cozy and we looked forward to heading back there after being out and about. I’d def recommend and stay again!

Great location in a quietly nice neighborhood. Cute tiny house loft had everything I needed. Everything was easily accessible. Not far from downtown, the springs and the main freeway. Host was quick to respond. I will definitely stay here again next time I am in Austin.

Great Tiny House
The tiny house was great! There was a lot more room than we had initially anticipated, and Amy was a great host by providing list of activities to do in Austin during our stay. The house is well kept, in a quiet area, but close enough to a lot of great locations.
