Hestia: Modern Guest House North Austin

This modern studio is suitable for a quiet couple or professionals (like travel medical professionals or travel nurses) needing a place to stay for work and want to discover all that Austin has to offer. It's conveniently located just a few minutes from Highway 183 and the cross street is at Anderson Mill. Our guests love the short drive to The Domain where you can get some amazing food and entertainment!

Our home is situated in one of Austin's most beautiful neighborhoods, Balcones Estates. This is a quiet residential area with big funky looking mature trees, mid century modern homes and streets filled with joggers, cyclist, golf carts and tennis players. Our 450sq ft studio features a kitchenette with electric stove, exhaust fan (it fans out of the unit), pots, pans, cooking utensils, silverware, wine glasses, wine opener, small fridge. Separate water heater. Full bathroom.

Two friendly dogs live on the property. 12 year old Jack is a shih poo. And 3 year old Oliver is a Golden Retriever. If you’re not comfortable with dogs, we can keep them out of the way but would require some communication between us so it’s clear when the dogs are outside doing their business. It’s worked well in the past where I let you know they are outside or you let me know when you’re on your way back from being out.

Your dogs is allowed on a case by case basis. Professional poop pick up service weekly. No cats, sorry bad allergies.

We are available when you need us. We live on the property but our goal is to keep out of your way. Pool is not for guest use.
Welcome to sit in the courtyard and enjoy the peaceful and serene backyard.
