Park Lane Guest House

We had a wonderful vacation at Park Lane Guest House over the New Year's holiday, and we really didn't want to leave. The Carriage House is spacious and comfortable. The area is very walkable; we didn't need to get in the car at all. Good restaurants and music no more than five minutes leisurely walk away. There are also nice parks nearby. But most of all we enjoyed just relaxing in the garden, watching the birds and listening to the sounds of nature. Shakti's gourmet breakfasts were just the icing on the cake. We really enjoyed the hospitality! We will be recommending this place to all our friends, and we will be coming back.

Spent a wonderful, long weekend at Park Lane Guest House. The vibe that Shakti has created is peaceful, happy, and easy-going. The grounds are beautiful! The chickens are adorable - their pen is impressive and they run over to say hello. The rooms all have peaceful, private decks where a truly gourmet breakfast is served. Shakti is an excellent cook! The refillable glass bottles of filtered water are a much appreciated extra detail as is the coffee bar and (pay extra) wet bar. The location is just far enough off of Congress Ave so that noise isn’t an issue, yet within walking distance to all of the shops, restaurants and entertainment - including the bat bridge!

Absolutely loved staying at Park Lane. We didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back. The cottage house is cozy and spacious. The courtyard is romantic and whimsical. The pool is perfectly shaded for an afternoon of swimming and relaxing. The owners were so lovely and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was hand delivered to our room and was absolutely delicious. South Congress is a 5 minute walk with all the entertainment and restaurants you could want. Finding this place truly made my birthday weekend incredible. If you decide to stay here, I promise you will not regret it.

I stayed at the Park Lane Guesthouse years ago and had the opportunity to return to spend my birthday weekend there recently. It's hard to put into words how wonderful this place is. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, yet only minutes from the busy shopping, restaurants and nightlife of Austin. The rooms are clean, comfortable and stocked with everything you need. The breakfast each morning was incredible. I swear the pool has magical healing properties and the backyard is an oasis, be sure to venture out when the sun goes down to see all the beautiful lights in the courtyard. And say hi to the chickens, they love company! If you are looking for a great place to stay while exploring Austin, please keep this place in mind. I guarantee you will feel recharged both physically and mentally after a stay at Park Lane Guesthouse.

I felt like I was staying in someones comfortable home, but I also enjoyed having so much privacy. A healthy, organic, delicious and beautifully prepared breakfast delivered to my cottage each morning was such a treat. The owners were a wealth of information about the local happenings going on around Austin. They are located just off of S Congress where there is all manner of shopping and restaurants and night life, but you would never know it because it is so peaceful, quiet and serene at the cottage. I felt safe and walked everywhere even at night. I look forward to staying here again!
