Making it easy to escape the madness of Austin Music Festival 2018 while simultaneously enjoying a peaceful and scenic drive out to the Texas Hill Country.

You’ll feel far away from the ACL Festival 2018 chaos, but still close to home. Guests can rent a boat, do some jet skiing, or paddle a canoe, all while avoiding the noise and traffic of Austin’s most prominent music fest.

Why you should rent your Airbnb during ACL Festival 2018

Demand for ACL Fest weekend rentals is high. Supply is low. As hotel prices continue to rise, festival-goers are looking for quality Airbnb’s in a prime location. Your place is perfect!

Prices for short-term home rentals will soar. According to a report released by Datafiniti, rates for short-term rentals triple during big events like SXSW and ACL. During the 2016 SXSW, prices went from $200 a night to $600 a night, (and that was 2 years ago).

Expect the same for ACL Festival 2018. Travelers want an authentic Austin experience. They’ve heard about your city, now they want to experience it in person. And these Festival-goers aren’t looking for a soulless hotel downtown. They want to see the real Austin. Make your neighborhood their home base for the weekend.

Why you should escape to Cedar Lodge Texas

Avoid “festival fatigue”. Austin City Limits Festival gets bigger every year. With increased crowds, comes more congested roadways. According to the Austin American Statesman, “festival fatigue” is a real problem for locals during ACL Festival.

Lake Buchanan is one of the most beautiful and underrated lakes in Texas. Texas Hill Country residents know the pristine beauty of Lake Buchanan’s fifteen miles of quartz sand beaches, unique waterfalls, and stunning cliffs. It’s the ideal spot for boating, fishing, sailing, swimming, and hiking, almost all year-round.
