About this property

Travis Heights is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Austin and is tucked under expansive Live Oak trees that are hundreds of years old! Tiny House may be tucked away in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, but it's an easy walk to the best of South Congress (SoCo), the Congress St. bats, and is also close to downtown and East-side restaurants, bars and clubs. The Whip-in, a close walk, is an eclectic restaurant, bar and live music venue whose origins were a simple corner store. Want some quiet time? Take a walk through the neighborhood to Big Stacy Park, or swim in Big Stacy Pool- open all year round! Travis Heights has the best of everything!

Easter Weekend

This was in a great neighborhood. The host had all the toiletries and snacks! We were visiting our adult kids and this place provided a gathering place during the day. Thanks so much.

Terrific Tiny House

Excellent location and well-appointed tiny home. We had everything we needed, street parking was readily available, and the house was convenient to everywhere we visited while in town. Amy was a great host. We recommend this home!

Tiny House

Really cute house. Set up is very minimal. The host was amazing sent really in-depth emails about what to see and do in the local area. Also very clear instructions on how to access the property. Very responsive to issues that we had whilst staying there. Unfortunately didn't get to meet the host, but met her two cats who were adorable. We stayed primarily for the ACL festival. The festival grounds were within walking distance (if you like walking). Close to congress street and Zilker Park, lots of opportunities to paddleboard and kayak on the river.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Sherman

I moved to Austin from San Francisco, sight unseen, 25 years ago and we've grown up together. I rented, then bought, my current home and have been here ever since. My house has been the hub of many gatherings and I'm a natural host- just ask my friends!

I'm active and am always up for adventure around town, out of town and around the world. I enjoy traveling, have lived abroad and logged many global miles, but it’s always nice to come home to enjoy all that Austin has to offer: music, dancing, natural springs, or enjoying the hike and bike trail along Lady Bird Lake.

I've been in the hospitality business for several years as a travel agent, bartender, catering and event coordinator, and would love to show you why Austin is the place to be!
