    Centrally located in the Hyde Park area of Austin, the historic Adams House provides a serene and relaxing getaway for all travelers. Spacious accommodations, fantastic breakfasts, and 2 blocks away from some of Austin's most beloved restaurants makes the Adams House a superior choice for central Texas visitors. Our rooms are very well appointed and the beds are wonderfully comfortable. The Adams House has 4 rooms in the main house including one suite with an amazing treetop level sun porch. Directly next to the main house is the John R. Lock bungalow that offers added privacy and a lovely covered seating area. Free WI-FI is available onsite. No stay in Austin is complete without seeing some of the local attractions, dancing to a live band, or eating at our award-winning restaurants and food trailers. Your hosts, Liz and Eric, are very knowledgeable of Austin’s amazing music and restaurant scene and we can recommend the best venues to catch a live band or the best spot to get some local flavor. You may even see Eric on stage around town! The University of Texas, museums, nightlife, and hike and bike trails are only minutes away from the Adams House. Come for a night or a week - we look forward to your visit!

    A Hidden Treasure

    March 09, 2011

    Adams House is a wonderful place to stay. It is located in a lovely part of town, with comfortable beds, and great food. I have never been served breakfast on good china with sterling flatware before; very impressive! All of the staff make you feel warm and welcome and go out of their way to accommodate your wishes. I highly recommend Adams House.

    Austin's Hidden Gem

    April 01, 2010

    My wife and I have never been to a B & B quite like this one. We are used to having the host there. However, the host is a very smart person to have hired such a nice lady as Salina to help people out. She made us a good breakfast with good conversation and told us many neat things about Austin. Their are some great restaurants just blocks away. An excellent choice for a one night stay or a week!

    Amazing experience

    February 11, 2009

    Three of us stayed in the Adams Suite. We had loads of room and the beds were amazingly comfortable - even the fold out sofa. The 2nd floor sun porch felt like a tree house. Bathrooms are beautiful! Best of all was the breakfast - absolutely fabulous. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Location can't be beat. We'll be back.
