About this house rental

Located in Zilker, this charming house for $458 per night is a great choice for your next break. An award-winning work of art that you can stay in to experience, in the heart of vibrant south Austin. Welcome to our home, a marvel of architecture that captured our hearts and we hope would delight you too, all being minutes away from the coolest hangouts Austin has to offer. You’ve never stayed at a place like this! Made of concrete and steel, wrapped in sleek glass and aluminum, and with two graceful ramps of ipe wood for its central spine, that invites you to slow down, stroll, and experience the sequence of spaces in our home from ever-changing angles, bathed in natural light. Glass walls open to a courtyard, shaded by bamboo. Inside we have chosen modern furnishings both classic and unique to compliment the open spaces, with thoughtful and whimsical details waiting to be discovered. Beyond taking in the rich architecture and design, you will sleep on fine Italian linens, and bath with wholesome organic bath products, savor our favorite local artisan coffee, and enjoy stunning visuals on a 75" TV. Music can be piped throughout the house from your smartphone. A spiral staircase leads to the large private roof deck looking out over the treetops of the Bouldin neighborhood. And of course, you can easily take in all the cafes, restaurants, food trucks and shops that south Austin is known for, with South Congress and Bouldin Creek within walking distance. Zilker/Lamar, Barton Springs, and downtown are all minutes away.

Loved the architecture and the interesting items throughout. Very well appointed kitchen with everything you need. We ate at Mattie’s just a block away - truly amazing. Got DoorDash for some Indian food. Great time. Loved it.

Four of us traveled to Austin for a girls’ weekend. The Ramp House was the perfect place to stay! It is in a quiet neighborhood, walking distance to South Congress restaurants and shops, and a short Uber ride downtown. Plenty of places to gather in the home, as well as spread out for privacy. (Other reviews mention the 3rd bedroom does not have a solid wall, but a thick curtain - this room is tucked away at the end of the hall away from the other bedrooms, so more private than expected and worked well for us.) The kitchen amenities are beyond what any of us have ever experienced in a VRBO home! Simply amazing! Communication with hosts and property management was great, including a comprehensive “house guide” with many local restaurant recommendations. The architecture of the house is a real work of art! As stated in the house guide, "The central feature of the Ramp House - the ramp itself - is a study in time and movement, designed to help us slow down from our busy modern lives, enticing us to stroll and be tempted by the books and art on the shelves." How true this is - each time we "strolled" up or down the ramp, we were noticing something new on the shelf. Highly recommend the Ramp House for your stay in Austin!

We stayed in the Ramp House for my niece’s wedding. The house is lovely, quiet, and has all the bells and whistles for a great visit (Breville espresso machine, awesome pinball machine). We will stay there again!
