Sauna sessions, cold plunges, pool dips, and fireside hangs — welcome to The Cozy Camper, a laid-back East Austin getaway with a little bit of everything. This retro RV sleeps up to 3 guests with a cozy bed and convertible dining booth. Outside, kick back in the hammock, fire up the BBQ, or gather around the fire pit after a day in the city. Tucked in a private backyard but just minutes from downtown, it’s the ideal mix of Austin energy and easygoing retreat.
Step into a camper that feels more like a tiny home than an RV. Inside, you’ll find a comfy bed and the dining booth easily converts into an additional sleeping area so the space can host up to 3 guests. Additionally, there`s a dinette for meals or card games, a small kitchen for easy cooking, and a private bathroom with a shower. There’s also a TV for movie nights if you feel like staying in.
Outside is where this spot really shines. Start your morning with coffee in the hammock, spend the afternoon rotating between the sauna, cold plunge, and pool, then fire up the BBQ or relax around the fire pit as the sun sets. String lights and lounge chairs make the whole space feel warm, welcoming, and perfect for winding down.
Guests have private use of the RV and full access to the backyard amenities, including the sauna, cold plunge, stock tank pool, hammock, firepit, BBQ grill, and lounge areas.
Please note the yard is SHARED with the homeowner who lives in the front house, as well as their two friendly dogs who roam the space. You’ll have plenty of room to enjoy your stay, but we ask that you respect the shared spaces and keep gates closed for the dogs’ safety.
We respect your privacy and want you to feel at home during your stay. The owners live on-site in the main house and are happy to help if you need anything, but otherwise you’ll have as much privacy as you’d like.
