Camp in the city! We're 2 miles from the middle of downtown Austin but have been pretending we're not for a long time. Do the city but retreat to a little oasis nestled under a giant Live Oak tree. A lot of care went into our little cabin complete with an outdoor shower under the Oak, everybody's favorite! The cabin features a queen bed and a full bed/couch, a kitchenette and more. An outdoor seating area and composting toilet outhouse rounds out the experience. Come stay with us!Camp in the city!

Fun weekend in Austin!

We had a great time staying here! Such a cute little place. It was very relaxed and I appreciate that. We would definitely stay here again next time we’re on that side of town.

It was a beautiful space with well thought out details. We spent a night before flying out. The location is convenient but didn’t feel too in the city. The outdoor shower was fun. There are many fireflies in the backyard which felt magical. The space was comfortable and the decor was really fun. Thank you for a great stay!

Lovely oasis of a getaway in East Austin. Couldn't have asked for a more pleasant stay. Highly recommended and would stay again. Peaceful and quiet and well maintained.

10/10 recommend

We've stayed at Brent's cabin twice now and had a great experience both times. It's a tucked away piece of calm nature with easy access to central Austin. Brent has everything stocked from towels to coffee. Check-in is simple and the place is easy to find. We love the outdoor shower under the big oak tree!

Brent’s cabin was a great place to stay in Austin. We were close to E 6th street while still enjoying the cabin feel.

Honestly, this was one of the best stays my partner and I have had. Brent’s attention to detail is unparalleled. Close to the airport and a bunch of cool restaurants. Comfortable, pretty spacious. The outdoor shower was awesome. 10/10 would stay gain, thank you Brent!

Outdoor pleasures with home comfort

Lovely little hideaway in the heart of East Austin. The cabin was absolutely precious and cozy as can be. We had the leisure of feeling like we were outside with the comforts and amenities to make one feel at home. The outdoor shower was exceptional - I honestly wasn’t too keen on the idea, but once I saw/tried it out I was pleasantly surprised. You hidden away by a beautiful oak tree and it was so serene in the morning - I already miss the shower. The property itself is spacious and special; lots of little thoughtful details - A picnic table, hammock, seesaw, steps up the beautiful oak tree if you want to indulge in a climb. Not to mention extremely close to a very lively neighborhood, about a 20 minute walk to cafes, coffee shops, bars - you name it. And a very short drive to downtown Austin, Barton, Springs, etc. Brent was exceptionally kind and helpful/responsive. If you want outdoor feels, to feel safe and comfortable but in close proximity to everything please do yourself a favor and stay here.

We loved everything about this space. Incredible respite from busy Austin but still has everything accessible. Small space that has everything you need for a fun and comfortable stay - remember to use all the biodegradable products provided for the live oak. Nothing better than Dr. Bronners almond soap toothpaste, outdoor shower, and old school see saw. You can tell craftsmanship and functionality went into creating this magical little spot. Thanks again Brent!
