SpaceAge Tiny Home Secret Flying Machine Redesigned/Remodeled in South Austin.

The once luxury home built by Spartan Aviation in 1948 has been designed and remodeled into a SpaceAge themed, spacious tiny home, new kitchen, living room, modern bathroom w/ teak floors, and the bedroom has a Q size Purple mattress for extra nice comfort, wide screen TV, and views of the universe that are priceless.
Located in South Austin, close to shopping (Central Market, Whole Foods, Barton Creek Mall) parks (Zilker, Greenbelt, Garrison, Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center) and a short commute to downtown Austin. Plus there's trails, Lady Bird Lake and Barton Springs nearby. Plenty of restaurants/food trucks and food delivery to choose.
Included is new Cold A/C or Heater with remote, ambient LED lights plus a Mr Coffee maker, electric kettle with complimentary coffee and tea, Weber Grill gas grill and a blue tooth speaker+books and board games.
The outside patio comes with shaded picnic table and an outdoor chiminea for the chilly evenings.

Secret Flying Machine was wonderful
My wife and I stayed here for SXSW and her birthday celebration and we absolutely loved it! It’s located in a quiet neighborhood that still allows easy access to downtown and anything you’d want to do in Austin. The inside is more spacious than expected and very comfortable! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Secret Flying Machine to anyone wanting to experience Austin!

Cute & comfortable
Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but close to downtown Austin, this cute earthbound space ship was exactly what we needed for our overnight trip. We enjoyed the layout of the Airstream and the privacy from neighbors. A really great experience!

Perfect little place!
My partner and I stayed one night and it was perfect! The property was very well kept and the space theme interior was so cool. Also the bed is incredibly comfortable! Slept like a baby.

Perfect Austin Couples Getaway!
Great experience! It's located in a quiet neighborhood and Rob provided helpful instructions to locate the private gate for the property. The trailer is clean with modern features and every detail is well-thought-out. There was cold water waiting for us in the surprisingly large mini fridge. Fresh ground coffee was provided for the mornings. There's a private patio with a grill and a picnic table. The A/C and heat are quiet and powerful. The design of the trailer is super cute; we loved the space age theme! Keep in mind that this is a super cute vintage trailer. There is a limited capacity to the hot water tank, so I'd recommend keeping showers under 10 minutes. Also, it still has the original vintage trailer door. I had a little trouble latching it; you just have to make sure the handle on the outside is all the way up and it will close on the inside just fine. I would recommend any couple looking for a cute getaway in Austin to book Rob's trailer; we will definitely book again if we are back in town. Thanks so much, Rob!
