We started as a carpenter and a midwife, looking for a better life in a new part of the country. We chose Austin for its good climate, healthy lifestyle and progressive attitude. After a detailed search we stumbled upon a rare find, a 1/2 acre property with an old house on a good foundation, some big Live Oak trees and a short walk to the downtown Capital. A diamond in the rough, and a good place to start.

It was always our dream to run a B and B, a place to serve international travelers and provide the things most important to us and so often missing on the road, organic, chem./free luxury. Something more than the standard generic urban chain hotel could offer. A place where you could feel at home away from home. Together, we shared a deep commitment for environment and a love for people. So we started small with one guest room, and grew with the public demand, adding one cottage at a time. Park Lane Guest House was a natural for us.

Over the last 15 years, the world has changed, our careers have changed, but the need for comfort and kindness has only grown.

Creating a Better World

Our goal is to create a better world, one human encounter at a time. We believe that every act of kindness and compassion has a ripple effect on the planet. As Avatar masters (avatarepc.com and internationalavatarcourse.com), we understand that each individual life has an impact on the world we live in.

Today, as part of an international training team, we are able to share the Avatar tools and enjoy the gift of assisting others to live to their fullest potential and to help create a more peaceful planet.

Our Hope at Park Lane

It is our hope, that by creating a sustainable environment at Park Lane, through organic food and gardens, organic beds and a place to rest not just your body, but your mind and soul, that this experience will enhance your sense of well being and improve your life.

Each time our guests give us the opportunity to provide an "Oh so needed" good night's sleep, a friendly smile and safe respite in an unfamiliar city, or a well deserved "Getaway" from the busy-ness of the world, we feel a sense of gratitude.

Come to Park Lane.

Eat Local / Shop Local, leave you car, walk, ride the Dillo, or even rent a bicycle. Experience the Austin we know and love. It is our hearts delight to share it with you.

Who knows, you may even feel wild enough to skinny dip under the stars, just for the fun of it.

We look forward to the opportunity to serve you.

With Love and appreciation,

Shakti and Devkirn Khalsa
