Located in Austin, this welcoming cottage brings it all within your reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 4-minute drive to Sixth Street or the 3-minute drive to Lady Bird Lake (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink on the patio; you may also like the firepit and BBQ grill. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

A living room, a fireplace, air conditioning, and a ceiling fan are featured at this 6-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom rental. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a washer/dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
