Hi I'm a 40 something artsy entrepreneur who loves animals! I live in a 1 bedroom bungalow built in 1930 which I have remodeled myself in a funky, I'm-not-a-carpenter-but-it-works kinda way. Imagine your school-age kid's painting of a red house, but inside you'll find all the amenities, and plenty of peace and quiet.
I'm just 3 blocks east of downtown Austin, close to tons of culture, night life, restaurants, coffee shops and endless breakfast tacos. Also 7 blocks to the hike/bike trail and the lake, with all the natural beauty and recreation it has to offer. The house itself sits on a quarter acre where I've planted gardens, keep bees, and do my best to create a sustainable little art-zen urban farm-like space that attracts butterflies and good people. There are also 2 other small houses on the property, but plenty of nature in between for privacy and gardening.
I love to travel, and love the energy exchange that happens when I share my home and others get to travel to Austin and enjoy the space and my animal family. I am looking for someone to feed and walk my 2 big dogs, feed the 2 goats (once a day), and just enjoy the tortoise and feral cat, along with a (new!) single bee hive! I'd also ask you to water the gardens and occupy the hammocks while I'm away...
