Hold up. This three-bedroom house has everything you need, it’s absolutely charming, and it averages out at $172 per night. The price does not reflect the standard of this Airbnb. This is a seriously good deal. There’s a fire pit in the private yard and lone star décor sets the scene for an authentic Austin bachelorette.

The rental is a bit on the small side, especially in the communal areas such as the kitchen and living room, so it’s suited for those who intend spending a lot of time exploring the city and eating out. It’s also walkable to a lot of bars and restaurants on Rainey Street and Lady Bird Lake — hence the name.
