The Space
Experience the charm of early Austin in our enchanting hacienda nestled on 1.5 acres in Sunset Valley. The Heyday transports you to a bygone era when Austin's skyline was defined by the Capitol and live music reverberated through every street. Surrounded by an eclectic, artsy community, the journey to our abode begins with a glimpse of a whimsical metal zebra peeking over the neighbor's fence, welcoming you down a quaint dirt drive.
Pass through the ranch gate, and let nostalgia wash over you as you find yourself in a serene sanctuary shaded by 450-year-old oak trees. The Heyday may exude old-world charm but fear not, both the Casa and Casita have undergone modern renovations, boasting contemporary amenities and stylish southwestern decor that perfectly complements the vintage vibe of this ranch-style estate.
The Casa (main house) has a glorious sitting room with comfortable seating surrounding a fireplace and a chess table. The grand kitchen is fully equipped, and thanks to the convenience of the dishwasher, you can get back to spending time with your vacation crew after enjoying a home-cooked meal. The dining table can seat 6, and it can also serve as a laptop-friendly workspace if needed. There are 3 beautiful bedrooms, 1 king suite and 2 queen all adorned with lovely linens and plush pillows. The home also features a washer and dryer if you need to refresh your clothes, towels or linens.
The Casita (detached studio) is absolutely adorable and nicely equipped with a kitchen, dining table, Smart TV, 2 single beds (pull-out Trundle) and a full bath.
When you aren't out and about, unwind in style and make a splash in our inviting above-ground pool during the summer season (Above ground pool available from May to October). The expansive yard offers an outdoor sitting area with cushioned sofas, a fire bowl surrounded by chairs, a picnic table, and adult swings that provide the perfect spaces for leisurely outdoor activities creating lasting memories with friends and family.
Traveling with your furry friend? We allow 2 dogs as long as their combined weight is no more than 60 lbs. (Please let us know at booking to get authorization. Sorry, no puppies or cats.)
