Modern Home + Firepit + Balcony + Near East Austin | Chestnut Ember by AvantStay

Chestnut Ember is a bright, open-concept Austin home designed for gathering, celebrating, and slowing down after a day in the city. Just minutes from the energy of East Austin and a quick drive to downtown, this is where modern comfort meets effortless indoor-outdoor living.

Step inside and you’re greeted by natural light, warm wood tones, and an airy layout that keeps everyone connected. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area creates an easy flow—perfect for morning coffee at the island, shared meals around the indoor dining table for six, or winding down on the sofa after a night out.

The full kitchen comes stocked with all the essentials, making everything from quick breakfasts to full group dinners simple and enjoyable. Whether you’re prepping tacos before heading to Rainey Street or hosting a relaxed dinner in, you’ll have the space and tools to do it comfortably.

Outdoors, Austin living takes center stage. Fire up the BBQ for an evening cookout, gather around the fire pit with seating for five, or enjoy al fresco dinners at the outdoor table for six under the Texas sky. The private balcony offers a quiet perch for sunset drinks or a slow morning before exploring the city.

Upstairs, each bedroom is designed with comfort and privacy in mind. The primary suite features a king bed, ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and soaking tub, and space to fully unwind. Bedroom two offers a queen bed and its own ensuite with a walk-in shower, while bedroom three includes two twin beds and a private ensuite—ideal for friends or younger guests. A bonus room with a sleeper sofa adds flexibility, bringing total occupancy to eight with ease.

With three full bathrooms, an additional half-bath, open living spaces, and inviting outdoor areas, the layout balances connection and privacy beautifully.

Whether you’re in town for festivals, food tours, UT events, or simply a long weekend of tacos and live music, Chestnut Ember places you close to the action while giving you a comfortable, design-forward home to return to at the end of the night.

Its crown jewel, Lake Travis, is lined with lively bars, restaurants, golf, and parks. Spend your days on the lake's crystal clear waters, bar hopping on Sixth Street, and shopping down South Congress Ave. Locals and visitors love to “keep Austin weird,” which is reason enough to travel to this quirky city.

The property was actually better than described. Home was clean, well stocked with all the required basics (coffee-spices-& cooking utensils), and probably the nicest VRBO we have ever rented. All the beds were super comfortable, and the house was just easy to hang out in with an awesome outdoor area to barbecue and relax. Tons of great restaurants & bars close by so it was such a convenient place to stay.The property manager (AvantStay) was easy to get ahold of and made the check in & check out process seamless.

We appreciated this s beautiful, clean, open and spacious home, and 3 en-suite bedrooms and a half bath, and the comfortable linens, towels and comforters. We were grateful for the filtered water and ice and having a full size kitchen with plenty of options for making coffee. The beautiful weather prompted us to eat breakfast on the deck. As a family who loves games, we were happy to spend free time playing Scrabble and watching football.

Very clean and comfortable

Our family had a very nice stay at this property. It has everything that we needed to feel at home in Austin. The house is super clean! The neighborhood has a lot of great restaurants within walking distance, and is close to all the places we wanted to explore. The street in front is a bit busier than we were hoping, but it was ok. We had fun hanging out on the back porch in the mornings and evenings.

Absolutely Delightful!

I was excited to have found this beautiful home for rent for my first trip to Austin. The home was aptly decorated with fun western accessories without looking too kitschy. The location was perfect- walking distance to some delicious restaurants or a quick ride in a Lyft. As others have mentioned, the front faces a somewhat busy street (mostly cars passing and a little construction) but we mostly sat on the back on the deck and listened to the birds chitter and the crickets sing into the night. The outdoor ceiling fan over the back deck was nice to move the air around.My husband and I shared the master downstairs. I will be dreaming about that huge marble bathroom and amazing claw-foot soaking tub for a while. The water pressure was perfect and we never ran out of hot water. The double sinks and large walk-in closet were also perfection!My best friend had the whole upstairs to herself. We did not use the room with the twin beds but the other two beds (the queen upstairs and our master bed) were extremely comfortable. We did not need much from the host but communication was fast when we did reach out with a question. We did not take advantage of the grocery delivery service option but it was nice to know that we could have arrived to a full fridge. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking accouterments and some spices and we loved the high ceilings and tin backsplash. All in all, it was an absolutely delightful place for a much needed vacation week.
