Welcoming home overlooking lake with forested hill country views
A wonderful 2-story retreat on a secluded cove of Lake Travis with beautiful hill country views. Two large balconies overlooking the cove, and limestone steps going down to the lake. (Lake level fluctuates often; please ask!) Three bedrooms - master includes a Jacuzzi, walk-in shower, and private top-floor balcony overlooking the hill country. The open-plan kitchen/dining/living space walks out to the lower balcony with plenty of seating and a large grill.
Head on down the beautiful limestone steps to the water and a hiking area that leads to secret swimming holes. There is seating on multiple levels to relax, enjoy the nature around, and entertain family and friends. Enjoy a fire or a picnic on the patio just down from the house. Jump right in the water for a swim or paddle around in the canoe and kayak available when the cove is full. Then head back up to the balconies to watch the beautiful Texas sky. Enjoy the large record collection or watch your favorite movies on the 46" TV while cooking in the well-equipped and comfortable kitchen. The large, fenced-in front yard gives a nice contrast to the back area. Here, you get all the pleasures and relaxation of hill country living, but you're just a short drive from thriving Austin with its vibrant music scene and endless opportunities. *Note that Lake Travis fluctuates through the year depending on rainfall. Check current lake levels or reach out to find out the current level behind the house.

The property exceeded all of our expectations and made for a very special weekend! The swimming hole near the house was absolutely perfect and felt very secluded. Would recommend this stay for anyone interested!!
Beautiful property for our family of four plus two dogs! Great outdoor spaces. The house was well stocked and comfortable. Communication was easy! Thanks for a great stay!

Very cute home! It was a bit dusty but overall great experience! Host was quick to respond and help with bringing over equipment for the lake 🤗 very family friendly home!
We rented this house for a girls weekend. It was absolutely perfect. From the porches and balconies, the beautiful aesthetics and multiple bathrooms to the spacious bedroom and living areas, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect house for our trip. The hosts were accommodating and responsive. If we ever plan a trip in Austin again, it would be a dream to experience the stay again.
Property was clean and plenty of space we fit 6 adults comfortably. Views are spectacular. Very private and peaceful home. Property owner was very communicative and helpful will definitely visit again!
This was a lovely property. It was exactly what was expected. The host was helpful and available. We enjoyed a relaxing long weekend away with our family. An added bonus was the record player and fabulous record collection. Thank you so much!!
House was awesome. We had a family of 4 with plenty of room. House was clean with everything you needed. The stairs down to the lake was great exercise for the family. The lake was dried up to our advantage as the dogs had a blast and we also hiked the trails off the lake. Owners were very easy to contact and were very helpful to what ever we needed. Thanks George and Sam. We will definitely stay again when in town.
we decided to take the family on a mini vacation something different then the routine Destin trip. The property was very nice and quite. It was good taking time off to get away for a bit.The host was very helpful. the balcony was awesome plus outdoor grill. Regretfully the heat has dry out the cove but we were told in advance. Could not work the remote in the living room, internet would have been nice for the kids, other than that the house was well furnished . in all it was a nice stayed
We knew from the beginning that there would be no water for canoeing but we enjoyed the beautiful decks and views of the gorgeous sunrise every morning. As promised the kitchen was well outfitted and clean except for the oven. We also found baking sheets and bowls that needed rewashing, but no problem for us. The hosts left plenty of paper towels, kitchen towels, condiments and spices, and even a nice bottle of wine-all appreciated greatly.
In the master bath, I would suggest placing an extra trash can in the toilet closet to make it easier for people to remember not to put anything in the toilet other than toilet paper. The master bed/bath is lovely and very large with lots of storage space and nice, new fluffy towels. The other bedrooms were fine as well, except the sleeping surface in the first bedroom was very, very hard. Thank you to our hosts for the extra mattress in the office space. We found our hosts to be very helpful and responsive to us. The home is perfect for a large family such as ours and we would definitely stay in this wonderful home again.
Home was exactly as advertised clean, large, and well decorated. Hosts were easy to talk to and were extremely accommodating. The property is a true gem!
Great stay as always. I love the lake and hill country views and seeing all the stars at night. The location is convenient to shopping, wine tasting and for us just a short 5 minute drive to our daughter’s house. We will most likely stay again soon.
What an amazing stay. This property is beautiful, well kept and the owners were so kind and accommodating. The available canoe and kayak were truly a plus and even our pup enjoyed paddling around. One of the top rentals I have stayed in. Thank you for an amazing stay! I truly hope we’ll make it back :)
Check-in was easy and welcoming. There was some debris in the cove behind the house from recent flooding, but the host recommended a nearby waterfall, which ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Beautiful property and nice area.
