The Neighborhood: Go east, young man (or woman). Austin’s hippest businesses are moving farther and farther in that direction, and Govalle has swiftly become an area that deserves one of your sunny afternoons.
Located between Webberville Road and Airport Boulevard, the neighborhood started as a cattle ranch in the 1850s. Swedish entrepreneur Swen Magnus Swenson used the Govalle ranch as a way to help more Swedes settle in Texas. He would pay for fellow countrymen to come to the U.S., and in exchange they would work on his ranch. If you want to sound like a local, then you’ll say Go-Valley, which is Swedish for “good grazing land.” These days, Govalle is a great neighborhood to grab a bite to eat, get a few drinks and even see some amazing art by local painters, sculptors and creators of all stripes.
Govalle is jam-packed with tons of cool mom-and-pop businesses. On Tillery Street, just south of Seventh, is a trendy outdoor coffee trailer, Filch. One of East Austin’s most insta-worthy sites is just up the road under the Seventh Street overpass. A few blocks north is a business campus that houses Createscape coworking, where a lot of Austin writers, filmmakers, techies and a variety of other self-employed professionals rent a desk or snag a daily hot seat. On the same property is a CBD shop that periodically hosts block parties and Squatch Frontier Fitness. This is the gym where your trainer works out.
Since Austin is such an outdoorsy city, and there are so many popular parks around town, many Govalle residents don’t even realize what an amazing surprise awaits them at the southeastern tip of the neighborhood. The Colorado River Preserve is a 43-acre parcel of pristine dry and wetland habitats. There's even a designated wildlife viewing area.

Great Photos/Poorly Managed and Maintained
The property was clean, but several things were poorly maintained and not as described. We booked this space to enjoy the hot tub and weather, but all the lights over the outdoor space were not functional.
We contacted the hosts around sunset on Friday to tell them this, and we were assured that it would be fixed the following day. No one came to resolve this issue, even after contacting the host multiple times, so the backyard was pitch black by sunset around 5:45 p.m. Needless to say, we were not able to properly enjoy the yard games, hot tub, etc.
As for the poor management and maintenance, the fridge regularly leaked onto the floor, the thermostats continuously reset to 74 degrees, which I can only assume was intentional, and the house has settling issues, where the back door would not close without the deadbolt.
This listing states that there are eight bedrooms, but understand that this is because they converted all of the closets into sleeping areas by placing small beds, making this space much better for families with children than adults. This property is also within 50 feet of a very noisy road, so I would highly advise looking elsewhere if you are a light sleeper.

Perfect House for Austin Bachelor Party
We stayed here for an Austin bachelor party and it was great. The house was very convenient to the bars downtown and a short drive to the airport. The house was clean, spacious, had a ton of beds, perfect for a large group. The backyard was great including the pool and hot tub. The host was easy to communicate with throughout the stay. Would highly recommend for large groups visiting Austin.

It was amazing really. It’s been hard adjusting back to reality after we left lol! Thank you for the stay it was AMAZING!
