Take a leisurely stroll off of the Estate through the picturesque Hyde Park neighborhood, established as an Austin suburb in the 1890's on the old Texas State fairgrounds. End up on Duval Street at everyone's favorite Hyde Park bakery, Quack's. Try the jalapeño cheddar sausage kolache or the vegetarian sausage kolache with smoked gouda. On your way back, pop into the popular Antonelli's Cheese Shop. Pick out a specialty cheese for an afternoon snack.

While you are in the area visit the Elizabet Ney Museum. An early leader in the Texas Women's Movement, Ms. Ney purchased this beautiful estate in 1882 and made it her home and studio, shortly after she emigrated from Germany. Her masterful sculptures of world figures are on display to admire.

Cozy up in a kayak for two and paddle along Lady Bird Lake. Or, for a more rigorous challenge, paddleboard your way into the day with views of downtown. Allow us to make your reservation and the second hour of your rental will be free.

Paddle west from the dock to the Congress Avenue bridge. March to November, the largest urban bat colony in North America resides up in the cracks of the bridge. You can hear the restless ones that aren't sleeping making their signature high-pitched squeaks.

Drive down South Congress for lunch at June's All Day. Rehydrate from a day in the sun with the citrus and gorgonzola salad and get your fill on the Spicy Lamb Meatballs. Don't forget to order a refreshing glass (or bottle) of June's Sparkling Rosé, a wine specially made by the master sommelier, June Rodil.

Now that you've gotten some sustenance for the afternoon, walk down the street to the eclectic and quirky shops of South Congress. Don't forget to pick up your perfect Texas hat - whether you're into a short brim LBJ style or a Texas-sized Stetson. Get a custom hat fitting at local shop Maufrais. While you're at it, you might as well get some boots to go with it. Modern boot maker and leather goods purveyor Tecovas has your feet covered. For a higher-end classic style, Heritage Boots is your go-to. If you're looking for contemporary luxury clothing for men or women, homegrown By George boutique has designer brands curated to get that effortless Austin look.

Head out to one of Austin’s many “speakeasy” cocktail bars. Ask an Estate host for any secrets to locating them.
