About this house rental

Nestled in Lake Austin, this charming house for $4,933 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. LBJ's Historic Estate Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' Live the lifestyle of a former president with a stay at this historic 6BR/8BA estate, once belonging to President Lyndon B. Johnson. Located 3 miles from downtown and a half-mile from Lake Austin, this remodeled estate has a gorgeous pool, pickleball court, and multiple kitchens and living areas. '[This Austin home] had charm,' writes Lady Bird Johnson in her oral history book, 'and was a happy part of our lives for a good many years.' INSIDE LBJ’S ESTATE This Estate underwent a large-scale renovation, completed in May 2015. The flawless interior features two living areas, two full kitchens, and separate entrances to each area -- an ideal set-up for company retreats, multi-family getaways, reunions, or any situation where time together AND personal space are important. Reserve the formal living area for cocktails and conversation (or coffee and strategizing). Add a fire in the fireplace if it’s chilly. The second living area above the garage has a 60” TV, leather sofas, pool and games tables. The second kitchen is adjacent to this space. Keep snacks and drinks handy, or use it to supplement the main kitchen when preparing a big feast. A truly spectacular outdoor area was designed for entertaining with a professional-quality pickleball court with LED lighting, a pristine swimming pool, and a complete outdoor kitchen. The outdoor pool, tennis court, and basketball court can only be used during 9am - 10pm. BEDROOMS Up to 12 people can sleep in six bedrooms, which include two expansive master suites with king beds, flat-screen TVs, and luxurious attached bathrooms. Two more bedroom suites have queen beds. The TV room has a 60” TV, plus a queen sleeper sofa. Kids will love piling into the bunk room with a full-over-full bunk bed, twin-over-twin bunk, a twin trundle, and a 20” TV. LOCATION This historic estate occupies the perfect place between Austin and the lake. Tucked into a quiet, tree-dappled neighborhood, you will find peaceful seclusion and easy access to downtown, 3 miles away. Easily access kayak rentals, trails, and Zilker Park over the AHS footbridge near the home. Visit the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center (17-minute drive). This preserve and education center (with 650 species of native Texas plants) captures the environmentalist spirit of the First Lady who once called this Austin vacation rental 'home.' Bring your clubs; there’s a golf course a half-mile from the estate. Or rent a boat and explore Lake Austin, also a half-mile away. On the lakeshore, you’ll find Hula Hut, a local luau-themed waterfront restaurant serving up margaritas and Tiki-Mex cuisine. The LBJ Presidential Library is a 15-minute drive from the home on the East side of UT Austin's campus. The City of Austin limits occupancy to six unrelated adults.

Huge house with plenty to do
Huge house with plenty to do
The pictures don't do the house justice. We had a large group stay here for a golf trip, and we never ran out of things to do whether it was playing pool, lots of different tables for poker, bbq, swimming, what felt like 100's of TV's for watching college football, etc. Zilker Park and Lake Austin are also right by the house. The stay was perfect, in a beautiful home, and we will definitely be back if the house is available next time!

Perfect House for Family Gatherings!
Perfect House for Family Gatherings!
The house was perfect for a three day weekend getaway! Plenty of space throughout the house, but still cozy enough to be with everyone at the same time. Loved the grill/pool layout and TV outside; we were able to watch college football and swim at the same time! Instructions throughout the house to help run the electronics and switches were labeled were very helpful. If I ever plan on returning to the area, we will absolutely try to stay here again!

I recently visited this property with some friends from college and we had a great stay. The pool and BBQ area is awesome and great for entertaining a good size group and hanging out. The yard is very spacious and includes a private full basketball court -- which we used quite a bit. Inside the house, there's two kitchens and a great den upstairs with a lot of seating and a nice pool table. So -- there's a ton to do on property. Plus, Lake Austin is right down the street (we ended up renting boats for the weekend) and it's close to downtown (about a $10 cab ride). I can't think of a better place to stay in Austin that has all the amenities this house has!! That having been said, it isn't a good place to have a party. The neighborhood is VERY quiet and the property manager is STRICT. We had a small group of guys come home late from the bars and start playing music outside and hanging out by the pool. Immediately, we had noise complaints and received calls from the property manager and everyone had to come inside. We also got a call from the property manager when we were playing the music outside in the afternoon. So -- for the right group -- this is the perfect place to stay in Austin. We still had a great time and I would stay again.

Fantastic experience for our family. Terrytown is in the heart of Austin just near downtown, which saved our crew from sitting in hours of traffic. Clean, updated/renovated, high tech yet it retains the historic luster. WAY better than downtown hotels like in years past. You get to come back to your own hot tub, pool, tennis & basketball court so everyone was entertained, yet relaxed. A++ home for our needs. The extended family knows where our next reunion will be. We will be back if the house is available.

Great way to see Austin

I had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful home. I visited Austin to spend time with old friends and this was the perfect location to catch up, relax and enjoy the city. The house was spacious and tastefully decorated and there was room to spread out or be together. I particularly loved the huge pool and hot tub. The neighborhood is gorgeous and it was easy to go on foot and explore parts of the city. Our hosts could not have been warmer or more gracious. Highly recommend this property and would stay here again in a heartbeat!
