This gorgeous new revamp of an old Austin treasure offers the utmost in genuine Texas hospitality. Set on a grand South Austin estate, the genteel wraparound porches, floodlit sunrooms, sherbet-colored interiors (perfectly balanced by the deliciously dark and moody bar) and deluxe furnishings of Mattie’s will have you at hello. The live oak-tree-dotted property alone is enough to convince you to move in with your crew, and that’s before you even taste the divinely upscale take on comfort food. Oh, and did we mention the exotic peacocks puttering around the grounds?
