About the home

Mid-century lines and cowboy color, in a home that commits to the idea. Retro art and statement furniture run through every room, and a wall of cowboy hats sits under a glowing Howdy neon sign with a record player beside it. The living room and dining room share a double-sided fireplace, and the kitchen opens straight into the dining space. Out back there is a large gated yard with a dining table and lounge seating.

The space

The main living area is open and centered on a double-sided fireplace that connects the living room and the dining room. The kitchen is fully stocked and flows right into the dining space. The cowboy hat wall, the Howdy neon sign and the record player are all part of the same room.

There are 4 bedrooms, each styled differently, and 3 full bathrooms.

Outside, the large gated backyard has a dining table, lounge seating and room to move around. There is a 2-car garage, plus driveway and street parking.

The neighborhood

A growing pocket of East Riverside.

Desert Disco sits in East Riverside, a part of Austin that is still filling in. Downtown, South Congress and Zilker Park are all close by, and the street itself stays residential.

The Lady Bird Lake Boardwalk is there for morning walks. South Congress shopping, Rainey Street and the East Side restaurants are a short drive. Buzz Mill and Baby A's are nearby, and both the airport and COTA are an easy drive out.

    Not the greatest area of town. The house from the minute you walk in the front door is great! So much attention to detail.

  • Lajeana B. · VRBO

    The house was easy to find. Parking off the Main Street was very accommodating. The space was very clean and decorated fabulous. The toilet paper holder and the towel bar in the down stairs bath were very lose and close to falling off. Also there is a public bus stop pretty much in the front yard. It brought lots of foot traffic and lots of interesting people really close to the front door. Also there is no window coverings allow full privacy from the foot traffic in the large front windows. All in all I would stay here again.

    The listing was great! The property is spacious, clean, and well maintained and the hosts were great! Honestly the way it was decorated was well thought out and awesome. The wall of hats and neon to the furniture was so well put together. It did not feel like a cookie cutter Airbnb. The beds were super comfortable and the space was just amazing.

    The cutest house in Austin. We spent Thanksgiving here and the kitchen was roomy as was the dining room. Fun dishes and even cowboy boots to drink from made it a fun day! If you are cooking, bring what you need......can opener, measuring cups, etc. Super fun house with a fantastic vibe and a fenced in backyard for the littles to play. It made our family Thanksgiving one to remember!
