The Space:
Step into The Bloomhouse, Austin’s iconic, sculptural retreat tucked into a private, tree-filled setting in West Lake Hills, just minutes from downtown. Perfect for couples and small families, this one-of-a-kind home blends nature, design, and total escape.
Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, a celebration, or a workation with fast WiFi, the experience is immersive, peaceful, and entirely unlike a traditional stay. Stunning views surround you—from the architecture itself to the natural beauty of Austin just beyond.

Inside, flowing architecture replaces traditional walls, creating a space that feels more like a work of art than a home. Natural light pours in, cozy seating invites you to unwind, and every corner offers something new to discover.
The primary bedroom is warm, sculptural, and deeply relaxing, while additional sleeping spaces and cozy nooks provide flexibility for small families or extra guests.
Step outside onto your private deck for morning coffee in the trees or a quiet evening surrounded by nature. It feels secluded and peaceful, yet you’re just minutes from downtown Austin, Lake Austin, and some of the city’s best dining.
The kitchen is fully equipped with custom woodwork and everything you need to cook and gather. Fast WiFi makes it easy to extend your stay into a work-from-home escape without missing a beat.
Originally designed in the 1970s by two UT architecture students, The Bloomhouse was built as a rebellion against traditional design—an organic structure meant to live in harmony with its surroundings. Thoughtfully restored, it now offers modern comfort while preserving its original vision.
