Skyline View | Plunge Pool | Game Room + Wet Bar | Guest House | SoCo | Henley

Not many homes in Austin can offer this: a clear view of the city centre skyline from your own backyard. Henley has it, along with six bedrooms, a private guest house, and a backyard built for the kind of trip where nobody wants to leave the property.

Start outside. A plunge pool sits beneath mature oaks strung with lights, and a wide deck lounge wraps around it with plenty of seating for the whole group. Afternoons are for floating. Evenings are for the skyline lighting up over the fence line. When the competitive streak kicks in, there is ping-pong, bocce ball, and foosball waiting, and a patio off the second floor for anyone who would rather watch.

Inside, the design leans modern with industrial touches: black steel accents, warm wood, and big windows that pull the trees in. The main level is made for gathering, with an open kitchen, a dining table that seats everyone, and a living room that spills out to the deck. Upstairs, a game room and wet bar give the group a second place to land, so the night does not have to end just because dinner did.

Five bedrooms in the main house give everyone room to spread out, and the sixth is a guest house of its own, with a private living room, kitchen, and bathroom. It works well for grandparents who want a quiet corner, a couple who keeps different hours, or an extended stay that needs a little separation. Henley sleeps up to 16.

The location is the other half of the storey. You are tucked between South Congress and South First, which puts the shops, restaurants, and live music of SoCo within walking distance, with Soho House a few blocks over. Elizabeth Street Café, the Vietnamese café and French bakery at the end of the street, is an easy morning walk for pho or a coffee and pastry. City centre is across the river, close enough to see from the pool and quick to reach when you want it.

AvantStay provides a personalised hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transport, 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.

I stayed with my family at the Henley house for five nights and we had a great stay. The property is just as shown in the pictures. The location is amazing within walking distance of shops and restaurants and just a short drive from downtown. The pool was clean and the pool house is a very neat complement for privacy. I would definitely stay at this property again.

Amazing house

This property was so nice for my bachelorette group of 11. Plenty of space with comfy beds and nice lounge areas. The outdoor space is so cool with the tree, pool, and games outside. There are so many fun little shops to eat and go to in walking distance! Our only issue was constantly being kicked off of the wifi. Otherwise - the hosts were very responsive to any issues or questions and the home was beautiful! thanks for having us!!!!

This is a great home for a large group. We had 8 middle aged women celebrating 50th birthdays. There was plenty of space, plenty of comfortable beds, and nice bathrooms. The sheets, towels, and bathrooms were clean. The home was decently well equipped, but we never cooked, so can't really attest to the kitchen supply. The location was perfect if you're looking to shop, eat, and hang out. We could have gone to 6th street quickly, but we chose the walk to South Congress more often because that was more our speed. There is an adorable little coffee shop around the corner (Elizabeth and 1st street) with gluten free treats, cute gifts, and a great outdoor space. We hit this on our way back from a short walk/hike to the nearby Bouldin Creek Greenbelt. The access to the home was simple and the property company was very responsive when I had questions. The only reason this was not a full five stars was there was a short supply of clean towels and bath mats, some of the sliding screen doors were tricky, and there were some cobwebs behind some doors. Overall, it was a nice stay and perfect for our group.

Would have been nice to have blinds/curtains in the bedrooms. The street lights kept the rooms brigh

Wonderful except the street lights coming in the bedrooms. Hard to sleep with all the bright lights. Needs blinds/ curtains. Also outside area was not swept or clean at all. A ton of debris all over the decks.

Best Bachelorette Stay ever!

AvantStay totally pulled through for us with this amazing property. When another listing fell through, this beautiful house fell into our lap, and we upgraded for sure. This place is walking distance to all the fun shops & murals on south Congress. There’s coffee and restaurants right around the corner. It’s also a short Uber ride to all the bars & restaurants austin could offer. The house is stunning. The decor is top notch. The communal space is open & great for hanging out. The pool area and outdoor space is unreal. Seriously book your stay here nowwww!! The only thing missing was a full length mirror in the guest house, but we hardly noticed! Thank you for the wonderful experience. Our group of 14 had plenty of space and a wonderful weekend to remember!

Great Location and Terrific Space... a little neglect

You can read about all the positives of this place in the description and they are, for the most part, true. We especially liked the layout of the main room. You can all be together even if you are doing different things (cooking, playing games, watching TV, visiting, etc.) I think the next best thing was that everyone could have their own private space that wasn't just their bedroom. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of bathrooms. The fixtures are elegant. It is a lovely place and the location couldn't be better.The outdoor area off the main room is beautiful. I could see someone having a small wedding back there. There is a gorgeous tree in the center that the deck is built around. I would recommend this place to anyone with the hope that a few minor improvements were made.Now the cons:The cushions on the outdoor couch were so moldy and musty we had to wash our clothes after leaning on them. The outdoor pool table was in such disrepair we couldn't use it.They provided the cheapest toilet paper (A silly decision considering the nice bathrooms).The oven door was broken.The main room had so much dust we had to call someone to clean it.There was one roll of paper towels provided.The sectional in the living room needs to be replaced. It's a bit worn out and not very comfortable.Some of these criticisms may seem a bit petty. But considering the price of the place the owners should make sure the stuff they advertise is usable or don't have it at all.
