Hill Country studio: minutes to lake, 20 min to DT Austin

Want to experience what makes Austin weird and wonderful? Stay in this cozy and bright studio apartment in the wooded Cuernavaca neighborhood, less than a mile from the lake and an easy 20 minute drive to downtown Austin.

The neighborhood was established in the ‘60s and became a place for Austinites wanting an alternative lifestyle to set down roots. That legacy lives today in the type of home you find here: everything from log cabins to far out lake houses to communal living spaces. And in the type of people you tip your hat to in the street: friendly musicians, artists, and lake-addicted families.

Wake up and take a stroll through the peaceful neighborhood with lake views. Then drive up to Civil Goat Coffee where you can say "hi" to the resident pygmy goat, Butters.

During the day you have so many choices!
• Visit Commons Ford Ranch Metropolitan Park, a wonderful place to hike, picnic, or swim. (6 min drive)
• Check out the Hill Country Galleria for lunch and to do some shopping (12 min drive)
• Gorge yourself on BBQ from The County Line on the Hill (10 min drive)
• Or check out central Austin (20 min drive)

Once you've tired yourself out with all Austin has to offer, head back to your peaceful studio for a tranquil bath in the oversized tub, make a cup of tea in your mini kitchen, and sit out on the bench swing to watch the deer come out to graze and the people come out to sit on their front porches. Settle in for the night on a comfortable king-size bed. And if you’re party is a little larger, pull out the roomy sofa bed so everyone sleeps comfortably.

*Please note: This studio is attached to our main house, so you might hear us (and our teenage kids and dog), and we might hear you! There is space for no more than 2 cars. Kitchenette includes mini fridge, microwave, toaster oven, Keurig, kettle, basic utensils and tableware. No kitchen sink, oven, or stove. The TV in the bedroom has an Apple TV, but there is no cable television.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be within walking distance of Lake Austin. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchenette in the apartment.
  • Air-conditioned apartment with kitchenette, sofa bed, and Smart TV
  • Free WiFi
  • Just a 3-minute drive from Lake Austin and 15 minutes from Zilker Park
This apartment offers its guests a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

Smoking is allowed in designated areas at this Austin apartment.

Great Neighborhood location
We were visiting family in the neighborhood, so this worked out very well. The space was nicely designed, good natural lighting, large bathroom, comfortable large bed. The frig and microwave were helpful amenities. Communication with host was easy. I would highly recommend this property.

Simple but Great Unit
Unit was perfect for our stay. Nice large room with bed and kitchen area. There was a second seating area and a good size bathroom. The "kitchen" area is best suited for simple breakfast and leftovers but that was perfectly fine for us. Host was very communicative and check in and out process was quite simple. Also easy to find from the road. Would stay here again and have let our family in the area know that this is a good one to recommend for other visitors.

Wonderful Studio in The Hill Country
Our daughter stayed here for a few weeks between her apartment leases at UT. She enjoyed the peace and serenity of this studio located in the hill country & near the Colorado River. This place is in a safe neighborhood and is well-priced making the extended stay affordable. Her daily commute to Austin was a peaceful 20 minute scenic drive. She had a good stay and she would stay here again. Also, the owner is very nice and communicated well making booking and checking in for our daughter a breeze.

In the Hills
This was a nice place to stay. Seemed a little far from City night life. The only TV was in the bedroom which made it a little awkward to watch with friends. No sink in the kitchen area so you had to take cups and dishes to the bathroom sink- not ideal. I’m very allergic to cats and I had a pretty good reaction to the cat dander than was on the bed comforter. Washing that comforter and shams may be helpful for those staying with you who have allergies to animals.

We had a nice evening staying at Lynn's property. It was just what we needed on our weekend trip to Austin. The place was clean, the bed comfortable, and the bath was really impressive, biggest tub I've seen in a while.

We were pleasantly surprised with how nice the place was and how clean and well-kept the appliances were. The booklet with places nearby and photos of the host family were adorable and very helpful. We felt very welcomed and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a cute place to stay. Best ACL weekend ever!!!

Quiet. Clean. Private.
I will be a return guest because of how I titled this review. Cleanliness, privacy, and a peaceful environment are most important to me. To be objective, my least favorite part was the tub/shower. I’m short so it was cumbersome to balance over the tall sides on the tub because the bottom was slippery. It felt like a residue was on the bottom (maybe soap/body oil buildup). I’d want guests to be cautious and careful to avoid injury. I figured it out and this was a minimal cleanliness/safety issue but worth mentioning if this is a priority for the next guest. Thank you for the welcome and personable stay. I’ll definitely refer others and stay again.
