We have a backyard, a deck with string lights, excellent AC (a must in Texas), a Berkey Water filter, comfortable beds, subscriptions to Max, Netflix, Hulu, Disney, and Prime; and lots of toys and books. We live on a cul-de-sac, and can provide balls/toys for your little one to enjoy it. We have a deck behind our house is another spot to enjoy a meal or drink outside. Our minivan may be available for some stays.

Neighbourhood
We live on a pretty, tree- and sidewalk-lined street, with a cul de sac. Our small neighborhood is up in a hill, surrounded by St. Edwards Nature Preserve; at the bottom of our hill is Bull Creek. It's quiet, safe, and the neighbors are friendly and helpful. The short drive down the hill and into town is scenic and gorgeous.
Our home is our quiet haven and feels like Austin's best-kept-secret neighborhood!
Getting to my home
As with much of Austin, a car/uber is required for getting around. (You can also use a bike if you're comfortable riding on Ranch to Market Road 2222 or State Highway 360-- both gorgeous roads, where seasoned cyclists ride.)
Nearest airport
25 minute drive from Austin Bergstrom Airport
Getting around
We are within 3 minutes to a great coffee shop and Mexican restaurant (at the bottom of our hill); and 10 minutes to a variety of shopping-- The Domain, Arboretum, and multiple grocery stores (HEB, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Target).
We are still within "central Austin," but on the northwest edge of it. That makes us about 20 minutes from downtown, but very close to popular hiking spots such as Mount Bonnell, Mayfield Park, St. Edwards, Bull Creek, and Pennybacker Bridge. Laguna Gloria (the outdoor portion of Austin's Contemporary art museum) is right next to Mayfield Park.

We are a family of four, living in Austin, TX! Our son is 8 years old and our daughter is 5. We love learning languages, great food, and travel. My husband manages a large music festival here, and I am a current stay-at-home parent who occasionally substitute teaches at my kids' elementary school. Our kids are seasoned travelers (my daughter asked for a new suitcase as her birthday gift!) and respectful of other people's homes since we frequent airbnbs. We'd love to welcome you at our home when we are traveling, and we will happily take care of your home/pets/plants when we visit. We are a home of animal lovers, but currently have just one cat, and my kids would love to take care of yours.
