About this property

The Coffey Grounds. No cleaning fees!

Welcome to my cedar cabin in the city. This very eclectic house has personality where lone travelers can escape or families can bring their kiddos. Hi

"The Coffey Grounds" is in the middle of Austin!! Makes you feel like you are in the mountains but with all the luxuries of being in the city. Walk to tons of incredible eateries. There is a second story deck in the back yard where you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset. DO NOT CLIMB STAIRS TO DECK IF YOU CANNOT MANEUVER WINDING STAIRS.

Guests will enjoy the entire house, the yard, and the upstairs covered deck. The garage and studios in back will be locked and no access granted. Inside the house, I have covered areas that are personal clothes and belongings but there is plenty of room to put your own items.

Located in Brentwood, it is just 3 miles from downtown and less than a block from the bus stop.

This Place Has It All!

Had to make a quick trip to Austin due to a medical procedure and needed to be centrally located. This charming, cozy cabin right off of Burnet Rd gave us easy access to the medical facility as well as plenty of dining options and easy access to Mopac to make a quick trip to Zilker Park. And we really didn’t need any other activities as the cabin is so fun and unique you could spend hours just looking at all the interesting objects and art on display and play one of any number of board games that are available. There was plenty of room plus a large inviting family room to hang out in. We absolutely loved it and hope to go back!

Easy access, cool, and convenient

We had a great time with four friends. Cool place with all the personal art and mementos. Really only two bedrooms, though, so best for a family or two couples. Couches were comfortable enough!

Good coffee

Wild, crazy and fun place with lots of lights, color, owner art and creative touches everywhere. Great location, great communication with owner. Four guys found it comfortable—one in each of two bedrooms, two on couches. A second bathroom would have been nice, but you gotta run what you brung.

Weekend get away

Love booking unique properties, and this one certainly is. Loved the house, all the cool decor. Location was perfect for us. Also got to try a cowboy pool. The yard was great place to relax, at least early in the morning before it got too hot to be outside. The house is well equipped, kitchen had everything you need. Only thing is it has a small bathroom, not a problem for us but might be for some. Host was very responsive, and very patient with some of my questions. Will definitely consider staying here again.

Better than we even imagined!

It was spectacular! There were treasures everywhere you looked and so many options to visit with family! We did our daughters birthday toasts in the second floor patio and had our appetizers and cake under the pergola with lights! The place is amazing, clean and Carolyn was so easy to communicate with! I want to return again with friends!

A Memorable Stay at The Coffey Grounds

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Coffey Grounds with my 14-year-old son for a quick trip to Austin over Labor Day. Our goal was to spend quality bonding time, and this property exceeded our expectations in every way. First and foremost, I must commend the owner, Carolyn, for her warm hospitality. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel right at home. Carolyn thoughtfully provided us with a list of fantastic recommendations for activities in the area. Her suggestions included kayaking at Zilker Park, dining at The Domain, and catching a movie at The Alamo Drafthouse. Being out-of-towners, her local insights were invaluable, and we had a blast following her advice. The Coffey Grounds is truly a one-of-a-kind property. It exudes an eclectic and cool vibe that is difficult to capture in photos. Exploring the property felt like an adventure in itself, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time discovering its hidden treasures. The property was not only visually appealing but also exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we slept like babies, ensuring we were well-rested for our Austin adventures. In summary, our stay at The Coffey Grounds was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this remarkable property to anyone seeking a unique and memorable stay in Austin.

Best rental home to date!

I’ve visited quite a few rental homes over the past 8 or so years, and this one has been hands down the best. It’s loaded with charm and entertainment, tips and guides to explore the city, plenty of space to spread out with our family of 4, and walking distance or nearby driving distance to everything we needed. My 4 year old was sad to leave “the cottage” (his words) and is looking forward to our next visit!

Austin cabin with eclectic charm

We had a great stay and in a pretty nice area. The house (or should I say cabin) has quite a bit of charm and way better than what I expected. We had a short trip to Austin with my daughter and her friends for an event. The cabin was perfect. It had all the amenities we needed. Would recommend it and would stay there again.

Quirky cabin in a great Austin location

Our group consisted of four adults. The beds were comfy, plenty of amenities at the house and within walking distance. The deck is pretty awesome- like an outdoor living room. The only drawback for us was the small bathroom. It wasn't a big deal, though. Our 6'4" friend made it work. Owner was very responsive and ready to assist. It was the quintessential Austin experience.

Perfect mix of weird and good!

in the headline I use the word “weird” to describe this place, and as someone who lived in Austin for several years, it’s one of the highest compliments I can give. This is a quirky, charming log cabin close to the Allandale neighborhood, right across the street from a food truck park, chilantro’s, and torchys, so you’re already close to some great food. Should the mood strike you, 6th and Rainey are only about a 10-15 minute uber ride down burnet, not far at all for a fun night out. It has many beds and comfy couches making it a great spot for a large group. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a “weird”, charming place that embodies the spirit of Austin.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Coffey

Host profile image
I grew up in Oak Hill, which is now Austin, but back in the 60s it was country! My horse, dogs, cats, chickens, and lamb were my best friends. The cedar trees were my home until it got dark and I had to go in the house. When my parents sold the house, I asked to take down my favorite cedar trees, They now hold up my front and back porch at The Coffey Grounds! I am a mother and an artist. Restoration of old photographs is my passion! I used teach Photoshop at ACC and now I pull cactus at my country land and build. I remodel houses and travel trailers. I can drive a Bobcat as well as my truck. I'm stronger than I look!

Why they chose this property

This was supposed to be just a starter house. My oldest son was 5 months old and I knew it would be just him and me for awhile. All I wanted to do is buy a house and work out of my house so I could raise him. So I did. Then the house became my art project and mental therapy. I fell in love with remodeling and couldn't stop. Long story short, this is no ordinary house. Our memories are literally stuck in some walls. I don't take pictures down or hide the art. I do give our guests room for their own treasures so you will feel welcome in our humble abode.
