Welcome to Townes Retreat by AvantStay, a modern Austin escape designed for both relaxation and connection. Tucked into a leafy residential neighborhood yet just minutes from the heart of downtown, this five-bedroom property (including a private guest house) is perfect for family getaways, group trips, or anyone seeking the best of indoor-outdoor Texas living. Start your mornings in the bright, open-concept living area, where natural light pours through floor-to-ceiling windows. The fully equipped kitchen makes meals a breeze with sleek cabinetry, a spacious island with barstool seating for three, and a dining table set for six. A dedicated coffee nook fuels your mornings, while the exercise room and laptop-friendly workspace keep wellness and productivity within reach.

One king suite feature an ensuite bathroom—one with a spa-worthy soaking tub—while additional guest rooms offer twin and trundle setups ideal for families. The detached guest house creates a private haven with a double bed and serene ambiance. Step outside to discover the heart of your stay: a sparkling pool framed by loungers, a putting green for laid-back competitions, and a cornhole setup that keeps the fun going all day. Evenings are best spent grilling on the BBQ and gathering in the yard beneath wide Texas skies, with downtown’s skyline just a short drive away. With laundry on-site, convenient parking, and plenty of space for everyone, Townes Retreat blends modern design with playful amenities—an Austin stay that feels effortlessly stylish and endlessly inviting.

For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips! There are so many reasons to love Austin and its incredible barbecue is just one. The live music capital of the world, Austin has a thriving art scene and a party culture to match. Its crown jewel, Lake Travis, is lined with lively bars, restaurants, golf, and parks. Spend your days on the lake’s crystal clear waters, bar hopping on Sixth Street, and shopping down South Congress Ave. Locals and visitors love to “keep Austin weird”, which is reason enough to travel to this quirky city.
