Beautiful Bed and Breakfast in the heart of Austin. I've lived here for over 15 years and I had no idea it even existed until a couple of weeks ago. Shakti is such a great host and her home and property are something special. Walk to S. congress in minutes! Close to the Continental Club, Perlas and all the shops/cafes. Extremely recommended!
Very quaint and peaceful but only blocks from fantastic restraunts. The organic vegetarian breakfast every morning is absolutely amazing and the chickens are a great bonus! We had a lovely weekend getaway and the owner is kind and very welcoming!! We will definitely return!
I was looking for a B&B that was close to downtown but hidden from the Busy nightlife for my fiance's birthday. We absolutely loved our stay at the Park Lane Guest House. We were lucky enough to book the Vicky house as it provided a perfect uniqueness that allowed for a cozy night. Almost feels as though you are in a tree house! The breakfast was phenomenal! We had homemade pancakes that were covered in fruit and nuts and made from the owner's pet chicken eggs. I loved everything about this place! We will definitely be coming back in the future and recommending this place to all!
We loved our cottage and especially the heated toilet seat. : ) Breakfast was delightful and tailored to our needs. Enjoyed conversations with the owner. Hope to come again and hopefully enjoy some warmer weather.
The Vicky House was such a fantastic home away from home. It came with many accommodations that make you not want to leave. The king size bed had the fluffiest pillows that made you feel stuck, a good stuck. The chickens, garden and awesome little pool were all welcoming sight for us. Location was great because everything we wanted to do was within about 15 minutes. Shakti was very kind and we will definitely be back.
Beautifully prepared breakfast delivered to our room. Cozy cottage was hard to leave for our daily excursions . Felt like a home not a hotel!!
Park Lane is a retreat from what can be the "normal" and sometimes crazy pace of life. It is peaceful, thoughtfully maintained and coursing with loving energy. The Garden Cottage is eclectically furnished, with interesting touches throughout-- the perfect place to connect with someone you love. The outdoor space is relaxing, yet vibrantly alive-- equally appropriate for solitary meditation or enjoying the company of a friend over a healthy and delicious breakfast. This is where to come for restoration.
Clean, roomy, quiet. Walk to SoCo. Great guest house.
We had a wonderful stay at the Park Lane and will definitely be back for our next trip to Austin. It felt more like staying in our own home, rather than in a sterile hotel. Shakti was fantastic with great tips about the city and the most amazing breakfasts. We couldn't bring ourselves to go to brunch with such a wonderful meat at the Park Lane! The close proximity to South Congress was great and the pool was very perfect for hot summer days. Highly recommended!
I have stayed here several times already. Its my totally favorite spot to visit Austin. Shakti, the host, is the most friendly and interesting person to talk to. She makes a great breakfast with eggs from her own chickens and you can even has a bulletproof coffee in the morning if you ask for it! I love the pool, even now in the wintertime (OK, I love taking a cold bath ;-). This completely quiet spot is a little piece of heaven, close to all the Austin South Congress hot spots in walking distance. The two little dogs shower you with beams of love and inspiration when you sit by the pool where the squirrels and sometime even a chicken or two may come hang out with you. Just an awesome place!
Beautiful accommodations made for a very romantic and relaxing vacation! The outdoor landscaping and decorations (including the pool!) were impeccable and provided for a very serene feel in the heart of Austin. Shakti did an amazing job accommodating our vegan request, which led to an amazing array of delicious breakfasts (breakfast tacos, baked apple stuffed with granola, freshly baked pumpkin bread with fig jam, ginger cardamom pancakes and more!). We can't wait to come back!
I stay here whenever I travel to Austin. I love this place. It is a great location to walk out to eat, to listen to music, to exercise, to see the bats at the S. Congress bridge, Amy's ice cream, etc, etc. I have stayed in almost all the rooms and love that they are all unique yet comfortable with all the amenities. It is especially nice to sit outside in the pretty backyard. And love to start my days with Shakti's breakfasts! Yum!!
