About this house rental

This craftsman-designed home is located across the river from downtown Austin on a beautiful wooded lot in one of Austin's most desirable neighborhoods, Travis Heights. Walk or bike to major parks, great restaurants in the SoCo District, or even downtown to the fun sixth street music district. We are close to everything yet you feel like you are living in the country.

The house was designed, built and decorated by the owner artists Wolf Sittler and Charlotte Bell. This non-smoking home has sunny rooms, a well appointed kitchen, a patio and lots of windows looking out onto the backyard forest greenbelt. The house has one bedroom with 100% cotton sheets. The kitchen have all amenities including a stove, coffee maker, refrigerator and much more. Our newest accommodation is the Tree-cycle which is a tiny house which can be added on for extra guests. Search for charwolf ventures for the website. For reservations for less than 30 days there will be a 15% hotel tax additional fee to pay once you have reserved. If you would like the comfortable couch for sleeping please let me know so I can give you sheets.

Minutes from the city center and 15 minutes to the Austin Bergstrom airport.
Located on Kenwood Ave: a few blocks south of Riverside Dr. between Congress Ave. and I 35

We were in town for a graduation at UT, and this place was perfect for my husband and I. The neighborhood was a short drive to everything we wanted to experience in Austin and was a relaxing retreat at the end of the day. We like unique, and this house fit the bill. Was quiet, peaceful and more beautiful in person. Would love to stay here again on our next trip to Austin.

Uniquely Austin short term rental. Crafted by two artists with care and imagination. If you’re tired of cookie cutter places choose this retreat. Days were in the 80s but we opened the windows and turned a fan on low and felt like we slept comfortably in the woods.

Overall, the accommodations were fine and everything was very clean and comfortable. The owners were fast to respond to any questions I had which was vey much appreciated. The major disappointment was that the deck shown to advertise the property is attached to the main house and not accessible to renters. It was the picture of the large deck that persuaded me to rent this property so this struck me as unfortunately misleading.
