Love!!
This is the cutest airstream - I loved all the fun touches!! The galaxy art in the skylights, the action figures in the plants outside, and the kind welcome message on the board inside! The whole place is adorable and super comfy. Would love to stay here again!

Secret Flying Machine was wonderful
My wife and I stayed here for SXSW and her birthday celebration and we absolutely loved it! It’s located in a quiet neighborhood that still allows easy access to downtown and anything you’d want to do in Austin. The inside is more spacious than expected and very comfortable! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Secret Flying Machine to anyone wanting to experience Austin!

Cute & comfortable
Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but close to downtown Austin, this cute earthbound space ship was exactly what we needed for our overnight trip. We enjoyed the layout of the Airstream and the privacy from neighbors. A really great experience!

Perfect Austin Couples Getaway!
Great experience! It's located in a quiet neighborhood and Rob provided helpful instructions to locate the private gate for the property. The trailer is clean with modern features and every detail is well-thought-out. There was cold water waiting for us in the surprisingly large mini fridge. Fresh ground coffee was provided for the mornings. There's a private patio with a grill and a picnic table. The A/C and heat are quiet and powerful. The design of the trailer is super cute; we loved the space age theme! Keep in mind that this is a super cute vintage trailer. There is a limited capacity to the hot water tank, so I'd recommend keeping showers under 10 minutes. Also, it still has the original vintage trailer door. I had a little trouble latching it; you just have to make sure the handle on the outside is all the way up and it will close on the inside just fine. I would recommend any couple looking for a cute getaway in Austin to book Rob's trailer; we will definitely book again if we are back in town. Thanks so much, Rob!

Wonderful stay with a cosmic flare!
Loved spending time at the secret flying machine! My partner and I loved the space age style throughout the place, and the shiny reflections with the accent lighting is really beautiful while lounging inside. A perfect night to escape and relax while enjoying time together. Rob was super helpful and even recommended some local spots to check out which was much appreciated. Quiet neighborhood, easy to find and a well kept space that has such a unique flare and fun energy. Definitely an experience that has been crafted beautifully!

Airstream Dream
We were 60-somethings in town for a concert at Paramount Theater in downtown Austin. It was an easy drive to S Congress and we loved the “keep Austin weird” vibe of this property. Photos are accurate and bed is very comfortable, water pressure is superb and bathroom layout makes the space very functional. We will definitely return!

It was nice to stay at someplace different than a hotel. It’s Texas so it can get a little hot, but keep that in mind and you’ll have a great time

Fun retro/future getaway!
Me and my partner loved staying here! It was ascetically pleasing while also having all the essentials that we needed. We enjoyed grilling right outside with a bench to eat at, that AstroTurf was a nice touch. AC unit kept it nice and cool during the hot summer. TV was nice a big so we could enjoy watching movies after eating. Overall a great experience will be returning again!
