The Inn at Jennifer's Gardens

We began with colonial Spanish and morphed into what it is. Jennifer’s collections cover the property while mine are in the tool shed and under the catwalk. Jennifer’s the plantsman. Fred does dirt and rock.

The space
Guests get The Inn (our guesthouse) and the grounds. Our historic house (1879) sits on 1.052 acre lot that we’ve finished out as a garden with amphitheater and guest house. Shoal Creek runs through our backyard for 48 hours after a good rain. We’ve lived here since 1994, and our vision has come to be. Thanks to Luis, who has laid every brick and stone around here.

The second floor of the house: a covered patio, the second bedroom with open-air bathroom, has an exterior stairway only and is not suitable for small children. The downstairs bedroom also has a blow-up bed that is available.

Guest access
Everywhere except the historic house (where we live), Jennifer’s studio, my tool shed, and under the catwalk. Vivienne's Treehouse is an amenity guests are welcome to enjoy.

Other things to note
2-3 parking spaces off street by slowly using curb-ramps to jump curb. Otherwise, street parking on north side of 31st Street is available.

An Austin Haven

This is the most magical property in the middle of Austin. Had dinner in the terrace/patio area and it was just the most lovely stay. As an Austin local will be coming back again and again. Thank you to Jennifer and other owners for their hospitality and warmth during our stay :)

What a special place

We got married here and had an incredibly beautiful ceremony. At the end of the night my new wife and I stayed at the property. Beautiful, magical, serene - these words only begin to describe how special this place is. Thanks for making our wedding so memorable!
