Summary:

Concert or couple’s trip, food tasting tour or other spirited Austin adventure—no matter what calls you to Daniel House, happiness awaits. Located just steps from downtown, this chic, skyline-view vacation rental gives you front row seats—and easy access—to weird and wonderful Austin.



While it makes for a great launching-off point to explore the city, Daniel House also provides everything you need to rest and recharge at home. Deluxe amenities, concierge services, and serene, designer living and sleeping spaces are just the start of what makes this place truly one-of-a-kind.



Enjoy the view. And what a view it is! In the observatory-like living area, watch the skyline twinkle through huge windows as the sun sinks. Or visit on special holidays (like New Years and Fourth of July) to watch fireworks sparkling over the city from the deck. Even the master bedroom's soaking tub features a skyline view.

The house was clean and had everything that we needed. Beautiful view of the city, comfortable beds, and plenty of space for all. We were here for a family trip with another family from a different part of the country and the ability to all stay together in one place that fit us was fantastic. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect location to explore Austin

This house was had the best bedroom layout for couples going on a trip to Austin. Everyone has their separate rooms and then can gather in the huge living/kitchen area. Tons of sitting and great outdoor patio. We explored all of Austin and loved this location. Thank you!

Great meet up location

Our group from all over North America got together for a great weekend. We even had a few friends stay at a near by hotel. It’s close to the park and river activities and a scooter or uber to downtown. After smelling the BBQ in the backyard we had to cater dinner one night from Terry Black’s BBQ.

Phenomenal location, gorgeous stay

This house exceeded my expectations. The house was in a great location, very walkable, with a gorgeous view of downtown. The house itself was modern, functional, and full of the little touches you love to see in a VRBO (baskets of throw blankets, board games, a well stocked kitchen). I didn’t reach out to the host during the stay, but they were very communicative prior to check in. I would highly recommend this property.

Weekend Girls Trip

This property was perfect for a quick weekend girls trip. Plenty of space in the living room area for lounging with guests. The living room leads to the outdoor deck which has views of downtown Austin. The master bedroom was spacious and the bathroom was huge! The house was updated with very comfortable beds, new kitchen appliances, and a large wine cooler! Highly recommend staying here for a girls trip or with a few couples!

Great Austin spot

The house is very well-maintained, has a great vibe and is in a great part of Austin. Be prepared for the management company to gather info on all adult guests (cell phone, email address, DOB, etc.) and for a cleaning crew to come every morning (around 9am) with a card that says if you don’t let them in, you’ll be charged an extra $100/day.

Beautiful house, centrally located. Just have to make sure you’re not outside after 10p which can be hard w a group of guys and a nice patio. Neighbors are right next to the house.
