Eponymous Garden in Austin

Eponymous Garden at 1202 Garden Street is a Victorian Farmhouse built in 1880 and the recipient of the 2008 Austin Heritage Society Award for Preservation.  The upstairs suite is available for guests and consists of two enormous bedrooms with king-sized four-poster beds and a shared balcony offering garden and city skyline views.  The shared bathroom is slate-covered and has a large comfortable shower.  The rooms have hardwood floors and large windows with views of the city and surrounding gardens.
