THE BEST HOUSE DOWNTOWN *No Cleaning Fee* A rare Austin gem - perfect for groups and families. This is SEIDERS EAST HISTORIC HOUSE (look us up!) Built in 1907, this boutique historic home is one of the largest notable houses that remains in Austin's super hip East Side. Right downtown, walkable to all of the fun things: Rainey Street, the new E 6th trendy district, coffee shops, restaurants, hiking/jogging trails, and Ladybird Lake, this carefully restored house is a quiet oasis with space to spread out. Perfect for groups. 100 year old wood floors, sprawling porches, original shiplap walls, vintage details... it's unique and so fun.

5 bedrooms, 3 baths, plenty of dining space and seating, and covered porches both front and back of the house. Towering pecan trees shade the yards, and a custom modern fence maintains privacy around the entire property. Backyard has corn hole, ladder ball, and a custom mural for photos.

GOOGLE FIBER = super fast WIFI

BEDROOMS
This is my home, and it is designed for comfort. You won't find bunk beds or cheap furniture here. Lots of reviews mention our comfy beds, and lots of guests have asked where I get the soft sheets.

Total: 7 beds + 2 pullouts
BR 1 - King bed
BR 2 - King bed
BR 3 - Two Queen beds
BR 4 - Queen bed
BR 5 (upstairs) - Two Queen beds + 1 twin pullout sofa, plus extra floor mattress (best for a couple of kids). I recommend putting one of the extra twin mattresses on top of the pullout = very comfy pullout sofa.
Common area downstairs (not pictured): Bonus futon sofa that turns into a twin bed, with comfy 3" memory foam topper

I keep 3 extra IKEA twin mattresses can be used anywhere on the floor. There is space in each of the king bedrooms or the light blue/green upstairs queen bedroom to place an extra mattress on the floor.

KITCHEN
It's well stocked with pots, pans, cooking gear, etc. I don't stock pantry items, but do have ketchup, mustard, mayo, pancake syrup, and spices on hand. Because I live here, my kitchen is better equipped with dishes than in most rentals.

DINING
Most houses that can sleep 8+ guests don't offer enough dining space or sitting areas for everyone. That's because they often cram in bunk beds, and yet provide a dining table for only 6 people. You won't find that here. We have:
- 1 indoor dining table that seats up to 12
- 5 counter stools in the kitchen/dining area
- 1 indoor pub table that seats 4
- 1 outdoor dining table (on the covered porch) that seats up to 12
- another outdoor patio table that seats 5-6

HOT WATER
A tankless water heater means you'll never run out of hot water. Hooray!

BATHROOMS (2 downstairs, 1 upstairs)
3 full bathrooms and plenty of towels. Shampoo, conditioner, and soap are provided (not the cheap stuff) plus nice toilet paper. Bonus! 3 hairdryers.

FOR GROUPS
4 full-length mirrors, plus several regular mirrors
3 hair dryers
Iron + steamer

OUTDOORS
Ah, everyone's favorite feature of our house. Outfitted with outdoor sofas, tables, a fire pit, and yard games; including corn hole and ladder toss. Shaded porches allow a group to spread out and enjoy the beautiful weather.

CHECKOUT
No surprises here! And no big chore list. Here's what we ask upon checkout:
- Put the dishes in the dishwasher
- Take excess trash out to the bins
- Put away the yard games if you got them out, so they don't get rained on.
That's it! Don't worry about stripping beds, towels, etc.

No parties. This is my primary home (not just a rental house), so please take care of it. Everyone must obey the city rules, including the 10pm noise curfew.

Bachelorette and girls' groups are welcome as long as our neighborhood and home are respected. Please no bachelor weekends or guys groups. We have hosted lots of bachelorette groups with great success, and we can provide recommendations for a memorable weekend to make the most of Austin.
Bachelorette rules and requests:
- No glitter or confetti
- Use painters’ tape to hang decorations
- Don’t climb on furniture or move furniture
- Avoid piñatas or clean them up thoroughly
- If you want to hang decorations, please take them down before you leave
- We offer decorating services (ask me for details) - save yourself the hassle

I share custody of a cat, and she spends about 25% of her time here. MY CAT IS NEVER LEFT WITH GUESTS. Don't worry, no one has ever (NOT EVEN ONCE) complained of allergies triggered, even folks with severe cat allergies. That's because we deep clean weekly, have mostly hard surfaces and wood floors that don't collect dander, and she doesn't spend very much time here. She is not allowed upstairs because it's carpeted, so that's an extra safe area, just in case (1 bedroom + bathroom upstairs). Honestly, most people would never guess there's ever been a cat here, so please don't worry.

We love our neighbors, and we love our neighborhood. We want to keep it that way. Please keep the noise indoors.
