About the property

The Sunflower House: a design-led East Austin retreat for up to 8, where boutique style meets curated comfort.

Four bedrooms and refined living spaces flow seamlessly to an outdoor oasis with a hot tub under string lights, fire-pit lounge, and open-air dining. Inside, unwind in your private infrared sauna or sink into plush beds after exploring the city.

Perfect for birthdays, bachelorettes, or a well-deserved escape, every detail is crafted for effortless indulgence.

This East Austin retreat was designed with the polish of a boutique hotel and the intimacy of a private residence. Inside, curated textures and thoughtful details create a calm backdrop, while the private indoor infrared sauna invites a ritual of restoration. Step outside and the atmosphere shifts - string-lit evenings in the hot tub, fireside conversations that linger past midnight, and open-air dining that turns every meal into an occasion.

Four bedrooms balance comfort with design. The primary suite features a king bed. A second room offers flexibility, with 2 twin beds that are pushed together to create one large king bed. Another queen bedroom provides understated elegance, while the wellness room blends function and escape with a queen bed alongside the sauna. Each queen bedroom has it's own ensuite bathroom. Each space is finished with Smart TVs and plush bedding for indulgent rest.

The kitchen is designed for connection, opening onto two alfresco dining areas and a grill made for long evenings under the sky. Coffee stations throughout the home bring ease to mornings, while ultra-fast Google Fiber ensures everything from streaming to remote work flows without interruption.

Positioned ten minutes from both downtown and the airport, and surrounded by Austin’s most vibrant dining, music, and nightlife, the home is an ideal base for SXSW, ACL, or a weekend of discovery. More than a place to stay, it’s a crafted experience - equal parts energizing and restorative, grounded in Austin’s unique rhythm.

Guests have access to the entire home.

Easily get around on foot, by car, bike, taxi, etc.

The house was beautiful, very clean, and spacious with extra touches that made it feel luxurious. It accommodated our group of 6 very well and had everything we needed for a weekend stay. John was a very responsive and helpful host. I would absolutely recommend and book again if I return to Austin!

Had a great stay for a weekend trip, only not would be the AC was confusing and kept defaulting to a bit hotter than we’d like. Other than that the place was great and we had a good time.

John was an amazing host, the house was beautiful and exactly as described. I went with a group of friends and everyone enjoyed it. There was a small inconvenience that the bedroom I stayed in did not close all the way and wouldn’t lock but we were only there for two nights so just worked around it. The home was very spacious and super close to everything we did. They were flexible with our check out which was great and allowed us to check in early for a small fee. Felt safe and welcomed in the neighborhood. I would definitely recommend booking with them!
