Austin has come to be known as a travel destination that offers both beautiful natural attractions and old-time fun, and with good reason. Among its most popular tourist draws are the Hamilton Pool (a swimming hole and waterfall rolled into one), Barton Springs Pool (a year-round natural swimming pool), Longhorn Caverns, and Lady Bird Lake. The city also continues to feature dance halls, where people can drop by to watch or even join groups dancing the two-step. Austin is also home to Allens Boots, which displays over 4,000 cowboy-related memorabilia. The combination of these elements, help to create an imagery of Austin being an earthy city. Nonetheless, there are enough luxurious homes in the area to give it a glamorous touch, and some are even up for rent. Take a look at these top luxury rentals in Austin, Texas.

Mostly done up in Bohemian style, you can expect bespoke furnishings, plush beds made up with fine white linens and handcrafted mattress toppers, all ensuring sweet slumber. Bathrooms are luxurious and feature polished stone, marble sinks, egg-shaped baths as well as little extras that make stays more comfortable: fresh flowers, sweet-scented bath products and soft white bathrobes.
