Zilker's Peaceful Haven-Fun, Funky, and Colorful

Top rated by guests
This is your peaceful haven. A home away from home. Cozy yet so comfortable. Futons for sleeping are on the floor.
This is the primary sleeping area with an additional futon up in the loft, linens are provided. Lots of blankets, pillows, and sheets. Whatever you might need it is available.
Although the bathroom is tiny, it is chock full of fresh towels and amenities that include hand soap, hair products, hair dryer, and body wash. No need to bring your own.
Another view of the bathroom.
This is your space behind my home. My home has been on the weird homes tour in Austin 5 times. I hope you enjoy being surrounded by art. It is everywhere and there is no escape from the natural beauty. Spa is not available..

    We had such an awesome stay! Lois is really great and really has created a Peaceful Haven - so much so that the two teens I was with hated leaving every time an activity was suggested (if you know teenagers, you know that’s high praise!). The space is super clean and well taken care of all around, on top of it being enchanting and a literal piece of art. The teens slept in the loft - the ladder was a bit treacherous for me (not the ladder’s fault!).The bathroom is small but it’s a small place, so not a problem. Lots of towels and toiletries to use.Keep in mind when eating out the fridge is basically a dorm/cube fridge. A to go box from Home Slice will not fit :-)Lastly - location, location, location. You can’t beat the location, especially if you want to spend time at Zilker Park.We loved our stay and will be back!

    Lois's peaceful haven was absolutely wonderful, I loved the mermaid atmosphere and the AC unit was an absolute life saver. The space was clean and well-supplied, I never wanted for anything. Looking forward to my next stay with her!
