Austin Glass House-As Seen on TV and Two Movies

Immerse yourself in nature at the Austin Glass House. This special home away from home, close to all Austin has to offer, is nonetheless a private hideaway. The verdant property is nestled alongside a spring-fed creek and tree-lined greenbelt that offers access to the beauty of the Hill Country. Featured in the movie Abilene and on HGTV, the one-of-a-kind Austin Glass House is a perfect retreat for couples seeking a romantic escape or those looking for a relaxing getaway.

This architecturally-acclaimed glass-and-steel house is defined by towering 30-foot windows that provide a 360-degree integration with the outdoors. The upstairs bedroom features three decks and an in-room coffee cart is perfect for enjoying your morning brew while watching the sun rise over the wooded canyon below. The spacious downstairs bedroom boasts an open-air shower with three ceiling-mounted shower heads, an oversized jetted tub for two, and glass walls that bring the outdoors inside. Spend time on the peaceful patio, snooze on a hammock, sit by the chimenea, or take a hike on the shady Indian Creek Trail, which offers views of fern-lined grottos and crystal-clear water.

The Austin Glass House is just 30 minutes from downtown Austin and minutes from popular Lake Austin and Lake Travis. Nearby Lakeway offers breweries, wineries, distilleries, fine dining, and other amenities.

Other Details To Note-

The driveway is steep and must be driven down slowly. Follow the arrows to park close to the steps to the house. If you don't feel comfortable driving down the driveway you may park at the top in the designated parking area and walk down steps. Four cars can fit at the lower level. The house also has interior steps that should be considered if mobility is an issue. For guests with young children please note that there are interior steps as soon as you walk into the house to get downstairs to the living and kitchen area. We do not have baby gates.

We treat for pest on a regular basis however we are surrounded by nature and occasionally you might see a bug in the house.

Birthday Getaway

Couple day get away for my wife's birthday. She loves the outdoors and unique houses and this checked both boxes. Driveway is pretty steep for those of us who grew up on the plains. LoL. But it’s workable. Trail was easy but great fun. Would stay again.

From stress to zen

I was looking for a space to“decompress” after finishing nursing school. I wanted luxury and nature wrapped up into one and this home exceeded all of our expectations. Not only is the home amazingly beautiful, the hosts have provided everything you need for a great stay. They’ve even taken the time to label everything so you know what and where everything is. It’s the little details that matter most. I couldn’t be more pleased! I will most definitely book again!

Perfect Home Base

We loved every minute of our Austin weekend at the Glass House. It was beautiful and it felt like the hosts anticipated everything we might need. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were so luxurious! We loved the trail access and spent a lot of time enjoying the patios.

Romantic get away

Excellent experience. We have a high standard for cleanliness and this house met the standard. Great decor with beautiful views. Even though there are neighboring houses the way this house is situated makes it very secluded with a private feel. The house provided everything we needed and more when cooking. Downstairs bedroom was the best experience. Deer and fox were literally outside the bedroom. Beautiful trails are right outside the back yard. Host was very clear about the parking down below. Be aware, leaving the bottom parking is for the experienced driver. I could go on and on about this great place. Over all, great stay and we will stay again.

Great Experience

This home is truly unique and should not be missed if you have an opportunity to stay here. It feels remote without being so and provides a perfect place for some chill! It is close enough to downtown Austin for trips into town and the local are provides great opportunities for eating and shopping. The beds are great and the open air shower is amazing. The house was clean and the hosts were great at communicating with us!

Stunning Stay

My family and I had a wonderful stay at at the Glass House. It was absolutely beautiful. We were sorrounded by nature, but we we also were able to drive just 20 minutes into Downtown Austin. It is exactly as pictured, but even more stunning in person. It was very clean, and the host included everything you could possibly need. If you are looking for a great "getaway", this is the perfect place. My two teens were perfectly content enjoying the beautifu surroundings and walking on the trail which is a few steps away from the house.

Excellent Stay

I don't usually write reviews unless they are significantly above average, and this location is amazing. The house, the location, the details...all just amazing. They have thought of everything and skimp on nothing. The bedding is nice, the kitchen supplies are nice, instructions are nice. You don't have 50 million things you have to do before leaving. It was just a wonderful getaway all the way around. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

A Great Escape

The property is really fun and the host communicated very well! Place was clean and really cool. Very organized and a lot of kitchen items were provided. Attention to detail was put into it at this property. When staying, make sure to follow instructions for cooling the master as it can get warm with the shower and have a car / suv that can make it up the driveway. It’s really steep but that’s all part of the amazing experience of this glass house. Highly recommend staying and we’ve already discussed coming back. Enjoy!

The Austin Glass House is stunning!

We stayed in the glass house to celebrate one last weekend of summer before our kids started school. The house was so beautiful. The static pictures, while gorgeous, do not do it justice because everywhere you look is a beautiful wall of moving art. Whether it be the trees moving in the gentle breeze, or the birds and squirrels playing in the amazing rock wall, the views intimately connected us to nature and made for a very relaxing getaway. Can’t wait to come back.
