About
Asher House Austin
Asher
House Austin is located two blocks north of the University
of Texas in quaint Hemphill Park, a long established
residential neighborhood. Many houses in the area were built by
UT faculty members. Hemphill Park continues to be a popular location.
The University
of Texas is home to some of the top programs in the
country in the College of Law, the College of Engineering, and the
College of Communication as well as several others.
Other schools in the area include Austin
Community College, Southwestern
University in Georgetown, and St.
Edwards University.
Our house is a classic older home with high ceilings and wooden
floors and large old windows. We have four large bedrooms upstairs
and two shared bathrooms. Downstairs there is a manager's office/bedroom
suite, kitchen, dinning room, and living room. We also have a small
outer building lovingly referred to as the Annex, which has three
bedrooms, two bathrooms and its own kitchen.
There is a well-supported Christian Science Organization on campus,
and First Church Austin is conveniently located nearby.
Austin is well equipped for biking enthusiasts. The streets have
bicycle lanes, and the local
buses have racks to carry your bike if you want to
take it with you across town. There are fabulous hike and bike trails
for mountain biking along the green belts of Barton Creek and other
parks
in town.
Austin is well known for its concern for the environment. Great
protection is afforded to its natural spring fed pools, the most
renown of which is Barton Springs, a quarter of a mile naturally
occurring spring fed pool.
If you are interested in attending the University of Texas, or any
other college or degree program in Austin, please call us at (512)

be more than welcome to join us for dinner and spend the night.
