About this property
Holly Lake Trail Guest House - Near Rainey - Weekly Discount
This apartment is above our garage, detached from the main house where we live. The Lady Bird Lake hike & bike trail is directly in front of the house. You are welcome to borrow bikes, paddleboards, kayaks, and use the pool (if the main house is not rented). The main house tends to rent only weekends during the high season.
Open the blackout cellular shades to feel suspended among the trees and see countless species of birds, especially Monk parakeets. This studio makes excellent use of the space above our 2 car garage with an elegant bathroom, organic mattress, and butcher block counter tops.
It's tight for 3 or 4 people.
One block from Launderette restaurant and a quick stroll to the best East Austin restaurants, bars and breakfast tacos in all of Austin. Our neighborhood is a foodie's dream.

Why they chose this property
Location, location, location. I am an enthusiastic local guide, especially for live music, as I've been a member of the music community for many years. Our block is a dead end, surrounded by the park and the lake. very quiet at night. The trail out front is a 10-mile loop. Between our house and the lake is only park land with baseball fields. In the winter when the trees are bare, we have panoramic views of the water.
The neighborhood overflows with exciting new foodie restaurants, bars, and some of the best food trailers in Austin. Walk 1 mile to the Rainey Street district.
I do everything I can to keep the energy of my home & guest house peaceful, warm and inspiring.
