Peaceful Hilltop Retreat with Stunning Views

Check-in was smooth and hassle-free. The property is located on a hilltop with beautiful views, and each room had excellent cold air conditioning, which was a lifesaver in the Texas heat.A couple of things to note: the gravel road and driveway can be a bit rough if you're driving a low-clearance vehicle—an SUV handles it much better. Also, if you park on the lower driveway, be prepared for a lot of stairs to reach the house. It’s manageable, but something to keep in mind if mobility is a concern.Overall, it’s a peaceful and well-equipped home, perfect for a relaxing getaway near Lake Travis.

Could have been cleaned better and sprayed for insect.

The bugs, spiders and scorpion etc. in the house was bad. Didn't like the driveway. To hard to get in and out of driveway. I loved the lighting around the house. The stairs was a little rocky. The lamp in the bedroom upstairs to the right of the bathroom. Next to the window would not stay on. Same bedroom the ceiling fan light the sting came off. It's on the dresser. I loved the atmosphere. Remember me of being at my own house. Thank you for letting me and my family stay at your resident.

Perfect for our friends weekend.

Communication with property owners was great, check in and check out process was a breeze. The house had everything we needed and slept 7 adults comfortably. The weeds around the stairs leading up the house needed to be mowed down to make it a bit easier getting to the house, other than that everything was perfect.

Men’s Getaway

Hi we really had a pleasurable time. The accommodations were up to par. The effort to locate your lodge was not unreasonable. This Colorado River was a bit disappointing. We were able to find a public fishing area with some extensive effort. Perhaps next year will bring better water levels to the River.
