An amazing lake view stay

My wife and I stayed at this house during our anniversary and it couldn’t have been better. That view as soon as you open the front door is absolutely priceless. The pictures don’t do it any justice! My only issue was the path to get down to the private dock was a bit of a surprise to us - if we had older people or children wanting to get down there it would have been very tough. The water is low so I get the path isn’t as clear but a warning would be useful! 10/10 property though. Will definitely be back

Nice relaxing stay

Our family rented the house for a quick getaway. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived to a bright and beautiful home with amazing lake views from every window at back of house and from the deck. The place is very clean and thoughtfully outfitted for your stay, so you have nothing to do but relax. The kitchen patio and grill areas are very nice. Allot of exercise can be had by all during the climb down to the lake and dock area, family needs to be very careful when doing so. We had no issues. The lake is beautiful. Overall we had a great stay and would certainly go back.

Ideal rental

We had an amazing time. The place was so clean and comfortable. The view and privacy were awesome. It was near a grocery store, so we made meals. They thought of everything. The couch and beds were so comfortable. We look forward to booking again and checking out their other rentals.

Wonderful!

We absolutely loved our stay! This house is very unique. The location can’t be beat and the views are amazing. Even though it was November, we went kayaking two days, and it was awesome. So nice to be in a cove where the water is calm. The house itself is lovely, updated, and lots of fun. Has everything you need. The kids loved the pool table, and my husband loved the books! We were very comfortable. My only suggestion would be to add mirrors in the two secondary bedrooms, as only a small bathroom is available for these rooms. Stevie the owner checked in with us to make sure everything was fine and always responded promptly. In sum, we would love to go back! You won’t be disappointed!

Perfect getaway!

Beautiful view and everything we needed in the kitchen for the perfect meal! We enjoyed running out to a great shopping area and coffee in nearby Bee Cave. We even caught a decent sized catfish off the pier and enjoyed the kayaks. This house definitely has everything you want for family fun, from warm, snuggly tv-watching blankets to a well-seasoned cast iron pan.

As expected

The property manager was very attentive and answered questions. The house has an amazing view of Lake Travis. This property fitted our family vacation needs for visiting the area. I also like that the property had a website to view attractions in the area and what was expected upon check out. I would highly recommend this property.

Perfect Paradise

This beautiful property was nestled down in a quiet neighborhood with gorgeous views of Lake Austin. Great location to visit nearby towns, vineyards, shopping and downtown Austin. Although we did not have time to enjoy Lake activities, the house had that to offer too! The house was the perfect size with updated decor. The kitchen was very well prepared to host guests who wanted to cook for family and friends with new appliances, well stocked dishwater, and eat in area with a gorgeous view of the Lake. The owner has truly thought of so many great extras that our stay was above a five star rating!! On top of all that, the owner was very responsive and welcoming! This was a once in a lifetime trip for us and we would recommend this Perfect Paradise for your family and friends!! ❤️

Super Relaxing and comfortable!

This house allowed us to hang out and relax while playing games with the kiddos. Our 7yr old grandson was fascinated with fishing at the dock as well as going out with his dad and grandfather in the kayaks! The bedding is wonderful!

Lake House Getaway

Our stay was perfect! The amenities were great and there was not a lack of items needed around the house. The beds were comfortable and plenty of space to entertain around the house. Parking was good (big enough for boat trailers). The walk down to the water takes some effort but great swimming once you reach the bottom - great little cove to swim in. Thanks so much for a great stay!

We Loved This Home!

This home was fabulous! Everything was clean and accurately reflected in the pictures posted on the listing. The host was very nice and responsive to questions. We 8 people - 4 adults, 2 teens, and 2 littles (ages 5 and 7). The living room, dining room, and kitchen are perfectly set up for cooking/entertaining without over crowding. The view - holy cow - the view! The pictures do not do it justice! The only downfall - the stairs to the water. However, with that said, it is not a reflection on this property as every Lake Travis home seemed to have a lot of stairs to the water. Our youngest in the group was 5 and I’m not sure I would want any younger for safety reasons. That also goes for increased ages or significant arthritis concerns. I wasn’t prepared for the stairs (my own fault!). If we go back to Lake Travis, we will absolutely look into this home for availability.

Perfect Lake House

We were so lucky to be able to stay at this amazing lake house for the weekend. Stevie was amazing during our stay and gave us the best recommendations on things to do while we were in town. The entire home was immaculate, the beds comfortable, and the kitchen fully stocked with everything you would need. The view is amazing and even though it was rainy while we were in town we were still able to enjoy the deck and floor to ceiling windows. We definitely hope to be back soon!

Family Trip

I booked the house to visit local family. I stayed with my parents and aunt and uncle. The house was perfect for all of us. Walking into the house and seeing the view of Lake Travis was amazing. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck drinking coffee in the morning and taking in the view. I would stay here again!

Easter celebration

The house was easy to find and was very nice. The kitchen is large and very useable. The stairs to the water are tough but worth the effort. The 2 trail heads in the neighborhood were very nice and are a 5 minute drive from the house (park at the community center and walk 0.3 miles to the trailhead).

So glad we chose this house

Before we arrived I knew this was going to be a great stay. The owner, who was so nice, reached out with advice on everything from grocery ideas, to wineries, and places to eat. The house looks just like the pictures, and the view is better than described. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home. Looking forward to the next visit.
