The Inn at Jennifer's Gardens

We began with colonial Spanish and morphed into what it is. Jennifer’s collections cover the property while mine are in the tool shed and under the catwalk. Jennifer’s the plantsman. Fred does dirt and rock.

The space
Guests get The Inn (our guesthouse) and the grounds. Our historic house (1879) sits on 1.052 acre lot that we’ve finished out as a garden with amphitheater and guest house. Shoal Creek runs through our backyard for 48 hours after a good rain. We’ve lived here since 1994, and our vision has come to be. Thanks to Luis, who has laid every brick and stone around here.

The second floor of the house: a covered patio, the second bedroom with open-air bathroom, has an exterior stairway only and is not suitable for small children. The downstairs bedroom also has a blow-up bed that is available.

Guest access
Everywhere except the historic house (where we live), Jennifer’s studio, my tool shed, and under the catwalk. Vivienne's Treehouse is an amenity guests are welcome to enjoy.

Other things to note
2-3 parking spaces off street by slowly using curb-ramps to jump curb. Otherwise, street parking on north side of 31st Street is available.

The Inn at Jennifer’s Garden was the perfect venue for our small wedding ceremony and dinner. It’s in a great location on a quiet street along Shoal Creek that feels wonderfully secluded, even though it’s right in the heart of Austin.The house is incredibly charming, decorated with the owner’s beautiful collection of art and artesanías from Mexico. The kitchen is well equipped, and our chef had nearly everything he needed to prepare a meal for our 20 guests.There are many lovely areas throughout the gardens where guests can gather, including a small amphitheater below the house. We chose to hold our ceremony on the steps in front of the large antique carved wooden doors that serve as the entrance to the house. The owner shared that the home was actually built to showcase these stunning doors, which made the setting feel even more special.After the celebration, we were also able to spend a comfortable night at the inn. The accommodations were cozy and relaxing — the perfect way to end such a special day.

We had a wonderful time at The Inn, celebrating our elopement eve and small reception with close family and friends. The beautiful location made it so that we only needed to focus on the tiny decorative details and let the garden do the rest of the ambiance setting! The tables and chairs at the location were more than enough to cater to our party of 20 and let everyone enjoy a wonderful evening.

An Austin Haven

This is the most magical property in the middle of Austin. Had dinner in the terrace/patio area and it was just the most lovely stay. As an Austin local will be coming back again and again. Thank you to Jennifer and other owners for their hospitality and warmth during our stay :)
