Moonshine Cottage. Free Bikes. Sweet Spring Stay
Recharge from your Austin adventure in this upscale cottage on the artsy East side. With an open kitchen/living room, a farmhouse bedroom, and a roomy loft, it’s the perfect home base to take in Austin. The spacious deck overlooking the creek is ideal for wine or coffee. Enjoy lazy breakfasts or chatty dinners or walk to many of the east side’s cool eateries and scrumptious coffee shops.

The entire space is yours to enjoy. The downstairs bedroom, with a queen memory foam mattress, has plenty of closet space. The second sleeping area is up the stairs in the loft where you will have a comfy queen mattress with plenty of pillows. The full bath has a shower and doors to both the bedroom and living room. The full kitchen has most anything you would need for a sweet meal! There is off-street parking and plenty of free street parking.
Currently, the house has a small hot water heater. It's fine as long as you take short showers and spread them out in between guests. Keep that in mind if you book the house for four guests.
Pack and Play / High Chair available upon request!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Is the yard fenced? There is a partial fence for some privacy, but there is a bridge over the creek that leads to a neighboring cottage.
Are long showers possible? The water heater is just a 10 gallon which allows for a five minute shower, so showers would need to be spread out between guests. We really don't have many complaints. Once guests know, it is easy to navigate.
Is noise an issue? The house is located on a busy street so it can be noisy. The bedroom is in the back, so no one complains. The corner is so convenient and walkable so we do not mind the cars.
What is the parking situation? There is plenty of parking for a car or two in front of the house and plenty more on the street.

What is a MUST do in Austin? We love Barton Springs (especially in warmer months). South Congress has so much in a close proximity. Park close to Jo’s Coffee and stroll from there (shopping, cafes, music!). Vera Cruz tacos are really the best Austin has! Our Capital is gorgeous and very worth a drive by!
