The Cowboy Club
Most short-term rentals in Austin blend in. This one? It throws on a pink robe, grabs a margarita, and demands your attention.
The owner of this four-bedroom house didn’t want just another listing with white walls and a “Live Laugh Love” sign.
They wanted a private resort — the kind of place that screams “bachelorette weekend” before you even open the door.
So we gave them exactly that.
Here’s what we were working with:
- Austin’s STR market = crowded
- Most homes = neutral, forgettable, and a little too safe
- Our approach = design for the vibe, not the algorithm
We dialed straight into a high-performing niche (hey, bachelorette parties) and layered in everything they’d want:
- Sleepover-style bunks (yes, real adult-sized ones)
- Outdoor spaces designed to actually be used (not just photographed)
- Bold colors, better textures, and backyard energy that doesn't quit
We weren’t just staging a house. We were curating an experience.
Funkit Interiors led the full transformation — inside and out — turning this family home into a group-friendly getaway built for memory-making and revenue-maxing.
The result?
A scroll-stopping Airbnb that doesn’t just look good. It books out.
Want your listing to stand out like this one? That’s kinda our thing.

This once-standard home in Austin didn’t need more square footage. It needed more soul.
We transformed it inside and out to create an experience guests would remember—and rebook. Here’s how we did it:
Airbnb-ready staging with group comfort in mind
Outdoor transformation:
- 800-square-foot entertainment zone with lush turf
- Heated pool and custom deck designed for lounging in style
- Luxury fire pit and Austin-inspired murals for that local touch
- Fully furnished outdoor living area with string lights and games
Interior upgrades:
- Themed bunk room with twin-over-twins for max guest capacity
- Open-concept common areas made for gathering
- Airbnb-ready staging built for comfort, connection, and scroll-stopping photos
The Results?
In a neighborhood where most homes bring in $91,000 a year, The Cowboy Compound earned $165,000 in 2024 alone.
That’s nearly double the local average—without adding square footage.
This property proves it’s not about how big the house is.
It’s about how well it’s designed to deliver an unforgettable stay.
