The master suite has its own private entrance making it truly an isolated space for your stay. Our master bedroom comfortably sleeps two people, sharing a king-sized bed, on a new mattress with a memory foam mattress topper. If you are traveling with a third person, or simply need extra sleeping space, there is also a futon. Please ask if you'll need bedding for the futon and we'll prepare it for you. We have a pac'n'play for a little one that guests can borrow. Please ask for this in your reservation request if you need it.
Check-in time is 4pm or later. Access is through a keyless lock for which you'll be provided a code prior to approval, so late night check-ins are not a problem. Check-out time is 12pm. We ask guests to alert us when they check out so we can promptly prepare the space for incoming guests.
We keep the place well stocked with all of the bedroom and bathroom basics, as well as extra towels and blankets if needed. We have four pillows on the bed, soft 400-thread count sheets, and a comforter.
The bathroom wall is shared with our kitchen, and there is a locked door that leads into a hallway in our house. We've done our best with sound insulation, plus there's a white noise machine and ear plugs in the room for your convenience. We'll do our absolute best to keep the house quiet between 11pm and 7am, and kindly ask that our guests do the same. Obviously, kids are their own special breed, and can be somewhat unpredictable, but we try to take the edge off this by offering a low nightly price and stocking the room with lots of coffee and snacks.
We are:

We're only a few short blocks from the Lady Bird Lake trail - head over Longhorn Dam, which pops you out onto a hiking, biking, and running loop that is several miles long. The boardwalk over the lake provides great views of downtown.
