Welcome to Cedar & Stone by AvantStay, a spacious Austin retreat designed for connection, comfort, and play. Nestled among leafy trees yet just minutes from Lady Bird Lake, Zilker Park, and the buzz of downtown, this home offers the best of both worlds: a private haven with quick access to the city’s music, food, and cultural scene. Inside, vaulted ceilings and warm finishes create a welcoming backdrop for gathering. The main living room invites you to unwind with plush seating and a large TV, while the dining area and modern kitchen make shared meals effortless. Step outside to the deck, where outdoor seating for seven and a dining table for six set the stage for breezy alfresco evenings under the Texas sky. To make hosting easy, the home also includes eight folding tables and twenty folding chairs that can be set up indoors or out, giving your group plenty of flexibility for dining or event-style gatherings. Entertainment abounds in the dedicated game room, complete with ping pong, foosball, air hockey, arcade classics, and even a basketball hoop — guaranteed fun for guests of all ages. Grab a workout in the fitness room, which includes an exercise bike, pull-up/dip machine, free weights, and dumbbells. With five bedrooms and space for up to 18 guests (4 in the main house & one in the casita), everyone will find their own corner to relax. The primary suite features a king bed, trundle bed, sleeper sofa, and ensuite bath with a walk-in shower. Additional bedrooms offer a mix of queen, twin, and bunk setups, while the detached casita creates a private guest haven with its own bedroom, bathroom, and full kitchen — ideal for anyone seeking extra privacy during their stay. Four full bathrooms ensure plenty of convenience for larger groups. Thoughtful amenities enhance every stay, from two sets of washers and dryers for effortless laundry to a dedicated workspace for productivity. Guests with electric vehicles will also appreciate the Level 2 EV charger, which supports both J1772 and Tesla formats. Whether you’re in town for SXSW, ACL, Formula 1, or a family celebration, Cedar & Stone offers the perfect basecamp for experiencing Austin. From skyline views to game nights, this home blends retreat-like comfort with the excitement of being right at the heart of it all. AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. 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.
