Featuring 5 bedrooms and three full bathrooms, there's ample room for all. We do have all the coolest sleep solutions for big parties, from tatami mats and cribs to super fun twin fold-out sleeper mattresses.

Ideal for families, business travelers, and groups venturing to Austin events like ACL or SXSW, our fully furnished retreat guarantees a flawless stay.
The space

Welcome to Manchaca Manor, a fully-furnished 5-bedroom, three-full-bathroom house with a pool, located on a spacious 1-acre lot in the southeast corner of Austin, in the charming area of Manchaca. With 3,169 square feet of living space, our home offers a plethora of amenities, including a cave, walking trails, gazebo, fire pits, and ample parking for at least 7 cars. Inside, you'll find two dining rooms, two living rooms, two patios, dedicated WFH (Work From Home) space, and even a garden.


The pool invites you for a refreshing dip, offering an ideal space to relax after a day of adventure. Our home is ideal for various occasions, whether it's team corporate housing, family and friend gatherings, wellness retreats, research teams, or groups attending events like ACL/SXSW/AFROTECH, or simply for a relaxing vacation. As a temporarily relocated family, we're excited to share our slice of paradise in response to the limited availability of rentals in this bustling city.


Welcome to a true home away from home! As residents of this beautiful area, we embrace the natural surroundings, which may include encountering some friendly spiders, scorpions, or even hearing the occasional coyote or being visited by deer. Please note that we don't have full-time housekeeping staff, but rest assured, our home is meticulously prepared for your arrival.

If you're in search of perfection, we encourage you to consider booking a five-star hotel. However, if you appreciate authenticity, comfort, and great value, our house is the perfect choice for your stay. Welcome to your home away from home!

The minimum stay is 2 nights, we have two specials for minimum 6 nights (a 20+% discount is applied at checkout) and this house can be rented on a monthly basis and long term (40+% discount), all bills paid - including pool service and grounds keeping.

We have over 45 reviews on the "other" short-term rental site, and our super-host :)

From the minute you step onto property, you sense that you found an absolute gem. I had 12 friends and family stay for the Formula 1 race, and all everyone could talk about was the house. Beautiful and incredibly spacious. This stay was a pleasurable experience all the way around.

Lovely home

The house was very nice and exactly what our team needed.. The Homeowner went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. They even went out to purchase large backyard games for us to play.. When there was an issue Wendy answered her phone right away and solved the problem immediately.. Definitely will see if this hose is free when we come back next year for another softball tournament..
