Cozy, private waterfront stone cabin on the north shore of Lake Travis

***alert dated 7/8/25: due to the recent Central Texas flooding, Lake Travis has risen about 20 ft in a day and a half. Casa de Esperanza has not been affected by this, the cabin and the grounds are still quiet and pristine, however the lakeshore is strewn with flood debris which cannot be removed until the lake recedes somewhat. therefore swimming and maybe fishing would be iffy. If you are interested in a quiet getaway for family and your pets, Casa won't disappoint. Swimming and fishing not so much because of the flood.

Casa de Esperanza is a stone cabin built on 9 acres in 1947 with the birth of Lake Travis. It was completely renovated in 2020. It is nestled under majestic live oaks with the prevailing wind blowing through their canopies; you'll notice no background freeway noise, only peace, quiet and privacy; deer/ bird watching; sterling sunsets, boat traffic along Lake Travis. **
Inside, there's rustic cedar furniture, vaulted cedar beam ceiling, full kitchen and dining; Bath includes a shower made with fossils found on property, or relax in a refreshing private outdoor shower; museum quality arrowheads are also to be found on property (you find, you keep). kayaks or canoe provided. Boat rentals nearby. Nice playscape for children in adjacent park.
18 hole golf course nearby. North Austin 30 minutes, downtown 50 minutes.
Nearby restaurants in Lago Vista, Jonestown, and Cedar Park. Casa is secluded from owner's home on the property.
Casa rents for 2 nights minimum and 7 nights maximum.
** In all transparency, holidays (Memorial Day, 4th July) are usually not very quiet because of neighboring lake parties

Perfect Getaway

The cabin was awesome, the property is beautiful. Mike was super cool, let us use the golf cart, brought the kayaks to the water for us, and let us use his firewood. We cooked, kayaked, ran around with the dog, looked for arrowheads, stargazed, watched deer from the porch. It was perfect.

Unique, peaceful, private, and fun

Our stay at the lakefront cottage was unforgettable and awesome. Mike, the host, was very friendly and let us use his golf-cart and kayaks. Having our own lake beach access and lots of shady green space made this stay amazing. We would love to stay here again sometime and will tell our friends about it. A great spot!

Cabin on Lake Travis - what a gem!

My family and I recently stayed at this cabin on Lake Travis in Lago Vista. The home and grounds were perfect. Private access to the lake made it so convenient and easy to bring our dogs and walk back and forth between the cabin and lake. Mike was amazing and provided anything we needed. We are looking forward to booking this cabin again for family get togethers!

Adorable cottage!

This stone, refurbished cottage is so quaint and peaceful on a large property that is water front. Michael the owner was so welcoming and let us use his golf cart to take the kids and all of our stuff back and forth to the lake. The cottage has everything we needed for our weekend stay! We had a great time and will be back!!!
