Although we live in Austin, we needed a place to stay in town for just one night so our
18 year old daughter could host her first dinner party. After reviewing other AirBNB and hotel options, we decided to throw caution to the wind and try something funky and different. We thought, why not stay in a vintage 70s airstream near Mueller and have an adventure for less than it costs to stay in a boring chain hotel?
As Carl showed us the Land Yacht, his ebullient pride in this nostalgic Airstream was charming. "A work in progress," he said. But the place is SUPER clean! If it weren't for the color pallet, faux wood grain cabinets and quaint finishes representing the 70s era, we could almost imagine that it's not 50 years old! Almost:) There is some minor wear and tear, but it's in impressive shape!
Carl's included lots of fun little kitschy touches, like an old timey clock radio, Pepsi salt and pepper shakers and a ninja turtle figurine. All of that is fun, but one needs a few updated creature comforts, like a working fridge with ice, microwave, TV and wifi. Check on all of that! Everyone should stay in a vintage Airstream at least once in their life. Carl's a great host and the location offers super quick access to lots of local fun:)
