Guest Haus is a locally owned short-term rental company managing a curated collection of vacation homes in Austin and the surrounding areas. We specialize in creating well-designed, comfortable stays that feel easy and intentional—from booking to checkout. Because we’re based locally, we stay closely involved with each home, ensure a consistently high standard, and provide responsive, on-the-ground support for both guests and homeowners.
Yes. Booking through our website removes the guest service fees that Airbnb and VRBO add on top of the nightly rate. You’ll get the same home, the same support, and the same secure booking process – just at a lower total cost.
We’re able to accommodate early check-ins and late check-outs depending on availability. This usually depends on our cleaning schedule and whether another guest is arriving the same day.
Some of our homes are pet-friendly. Please check the property details or use the filter to view listings that welcome pets. We simply ask that you clean up after your pet during your stay and help keep the space in good condition.
Every home comes fully prepared for your arrival. You’ll have fresh linens and towels, a stocked kitchen, fast WiFi, and in-home essentials like soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Many homes also include additional amenities such as workspaces, saunas, pools, or game areas. See each listing for the full, home-specific details.
Some of our homes have heated pools. Availability and heating options vary by property, so please reach out about the specific listing and we’ll confirm the details for your stay.
You’ll reach a real, local person – not a call center or automated system. We respond quickly and help with anything that comes up.
