6th St Mansion w Indoor Pool + Walk to Everything

Top rated by guests
One of my favorite spaces - the original 1880s exterior wall topped with the 1980's glass dome that was helicoptered into place. ONE century between these TWO extraordinary pieces of architecture.
A better view of the dining with a sneak peak of the living room and kitchen
Fully equipped kitchen with a bold red backsplash and everything you need to cook, brew, and gather in style.
Stunning sunlit atrium kitchen blending modern design with historic limestone walls — the heart of the home.

This is not a cookie-cutter stay.

It’s a piece of Austin history — bold, artistic, and right in the center of the city’s energy.



Guest Access:

Our guests will have access to entire home and guest house for their stay.



The Neighborhood:

You’re not just staying in Austin, you’re living right in the middle of the city’s most legendary strip. This is where the energy never stops: neon lights, live music spilling from every door, late-night eats, and Austin’s “Keep It Weird” spirit on full display.



🎶 Live Music Capital: Step outside and you’ll hear it — blues, rock, country, DJs, and street performers all up and down 6th Street. World-famous spots like The Parish, Esther’s Follies, and Flamingo Cantina are literally steps away.



🍹 Drinks & Nightlife: Whether you’re into rooftop bars (The Contemporary or Maggie Mae’s), craft cocktails (Midnight Cowboy, a hidden speakeasy), or dive bars (The Library, Casino El Camino), you’ll find it all within a block.



🍔 Late-Night Eats: Casino El Camino is a legend for 3AM burgers. Voodoo Doughnut keeps the party going with outrageous sweets. Or stumble into Iron Cactus for late-night Tex-Mex.



🌇 Daytime Fun: By day, walk just a few blocks to the Texas State Capitol, Lady Bird Lake trail, or Rainey Street for bungalow bars and food trucks. The Convention Center is also a short stroll away.



⚡ Festivals & Events: SXSW, ACL, and afterparties all bring the world to your doorstep. When Austin celebrates, 6th Street is the epicenter.



Staying here is like getting a VIP pass to Austin’s energy — the perfect base if you want to dive headfirst into the city’s nightlife, music, and culture.



Getting Around:

No car needed. You can walk to 100's of great places within just a few blocks. The light rail train is 3 blocks away if you want to tour outside of downtown Austin. If you do have a car, feel free to park in the one small car garage attached to the home.

Place is EPIC!!

This was my first time booking a property. The house and communication with the host was incredible. The location was also perfect for my needs. Although it is on 6th street, the noise did not bother us at all. The host included ear plugs just in case though. I cannot recommend them enough. I loved my stay there.

I had my wife's 40th birthday kick back here. It was simply amazing!

You will find nothing like this home in Austin, and we have a lot of cool places to stay! Located on "dirty 6th" you step outside into the Austin music and party scene. Inside is a tranquil space with beautiful art and incredible lighting from skylights. But it is loud. They warn you that it's loud. You sign off that it's loud--and they mean it. Besides the music from the neighboring bars, after closing time, Austin cleans up after itself... and has street cleaners (think leaf blowers) after the partiers leave. BUT - they provide ear plugs and you can sleep late to enjoy this incredible space. They have Sonos throughout home - you put on your own music in the evening and control via several speakers - it's awesome! communication was great - service was great! And for being right on 6th, I was worried passer byers would try to get in ... people don't even notice the gate (which has a coded locked). I had more people try to walk into a unique homefront in Alpine Tx, than we did down here. :-)
