Empire by AvantStay | Pool, Hot Tub, and Firepit | 20 Minutes to Downtown Austin

Introducing Empire, your urban oasis just a stone's throw from the beating heart of Austin. Nestled 20 minutes outside the downtown frenzy, this retreat offers the best of both worlds: city excitement and suburban serenity.

Step into your slice of paradise, where the backyard beckons with its shared pool, private hot tub, and plenty of loungers to enjoy the sun. Fire up the BBQ grill for sizzling cookouts and dine al fresco at the picnic table in the shaded gazebo area.

Inside, the living room bursts with energy, offering a large sectional sofa fit for a group and a massive flatscreen TV to make for perfect movie nights. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for at-home preparing and serving, while the nearby dining table offers seating for 6.

Four dreamy bedrooms await your slumber. The primary bedroom features a king bed and TV and shares a bathroom with the second queen bedroom. You'll also discover a bunk room and a room with two queen beds (conveniently separated by a room divider), ensuring everyone has plenty of space and privacy to call their own.

With an additional full bathroom and in-home laundry, every convenience is at your fingertips. Plus, parking is available for hassle-free arrivals and departures.

Need even more room? This home is part of the Lamar Suites, two sister spaces with a total of 6 bedrooms. Reserve Empire and Red River together for a one-of-a-kind group experience!

Escape the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary at Empire — where every moment celebrates Austin's vibrancy.

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!

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, has 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.

Ursula G., Portland, Oregon

Extremely disappointing
This rental is ultimately not set up for guests, nor is the description accurate. It's an interesting place, for sure, full of quirky decor and art. But it hasn't really been designed for a comfortable stay, and maintenance is sadly lacking. There are zero towel rails in one bathroom - not even for a hand towel - and the shower system is insanely over-complicated (yet uncomfortable and doesn't drain). The place is crammed with furniture and ornaments, and the bedrooms are tiny, with little place to put luggage or personal items. Nowhere at all to hang damp towels, so that by the end of the long-weekend they were permanently damp, especially after doing double-duty as pool towels (since there aren't any). Bedding was cheap and gross. We arrived to find cobwebs and cochroaches, a broken king bed, and a bedroom door that wouldn't close at all (and had been that way for a while, judging by the damage to the jam). And the worst disappointment - after booking the three "sister" properties under the clear understanding that the pool was shared by only these houses, we encountered smoking, radio-blaring guests in the pool area from a fourth unlisted house that also has access! Immediate notification of the issues to the property management company got someone out to fix the bed, but nothing else, and they told us that the pool privacy promised in the VRBO listing was an error. They did give us a nominal refund in compensation, but that didn't really fix our experience....

Beautiful home that needs improvements
This property is absolutely beautiful. However, my stay involved several mishaps. On arrival to the property, the lock or the code to the front door was not working. I attempted to call the manager with no response until the next day. I was reimbursed for having to stay at a hotel that night. The property was dusty with cobwebs and spiders. The property manager did personally fumigate on the second day. The complex consists of three homes. Please note the pool is shared between all three homes. The lock is broken that separates the gates between the homes. The laundry room is outside which made it uncomfortable to wash after dark due to safety issues on the property. The back door is not fully secure and can be opened with a good push. The area is central and near downtown. It is close to many activities. I would stay in the home again as long as improvements were made.

Family Weekend
The house had a great vibe. Directions in Apple Maps made it difficult to find but I was familiar with the area so it wasn’t too bad. Everything about the house and yard was great. I will say the community area pool could’ve been cleaned up a bit as it looked somewhat green but our family didn’t go swimming. With the heat we just stayed inside and watched the humongous TV and played games.
