The Sunflower House: a design-led East Austin retreat for up to 8, where boutique style meets curated comfort.
Four bedrooms and refined living spaces flow seamlessly to an outdoor oasis with a hot tub under string lights, fire-pit lounge, and open-air dining. Inside, unwind in your private infrared sauna or sink into plush beds after exploring the city.
Perfect for birthdays, bachelorettes, or a well-deserved escape, every detail is crafted for effortless indulgence.
This East Austin retreat was designed with the polish of a boutique hotel and the intimacy of a private residence. Inside, curated textures and thoughtful details create a calm backdrop, while the private indoor infrared sauna invites a ritual of restoration. Step outside and the atmosphere shifts - string-lit evenings in the hot tub, fireside conversations that linger past midnight, and open-air dining that turns every meal into an occasion.
Four bedrooms balance comfort with design. The primary suite features a king bed. A second room offers flexibility, with 2 twin beds that are pushed together to create one large king bed. Another queen bedroom provides understated elegance, while the wellness room blends function and escape with a queen bed alongside the sauna. Each queen bedroom has it`s own ensuite bathroom. Each space is finished with Smart TVs and plush bedding for indulgent rest.
The kitchen is designed for connection, opening onto two alfresco dining areas and a grill made for long evenings under the sky. Coffee stations throughout the home bring ease to mornings, while ultra-fast Google Fiber ensures everything from streaming to remote work flows without interruption.
