Beautiful Getaway

We booked this VRBO to celebrate my husbands birthday and our late daughters birthday. The property is absolutely beautiful. The pictures truly don’t do justice. The deer watching was one of my favorite experiences out of the whole trip. The views are to die for. There are blue bonnets everywhere. The indoor pool was nicely heated. The restaurant on site has amazing food and even better views if you sit on the balcony. You definitely won’t be disappointed if you choose to stay here. The hosts communication was nothing short of amazing. They were always really quick to answer any questions and provided all the information you should need to have a stress free arrival and stay! We will definitely be back!.

Great property

The condo is gorgeous and as a decor girly it was impeccable. Unfortunately, the lake water had receded and overgrowh trees were partially blocking the balcony view but the balcony was so amazing we easily forgot about it. Property is very nice and the amenities are great too. Can't wait to book another stay. The owners has everything plus more in the condo so all you need is your clothes.

Great stay!

Our only complaint is that there are not a lot of eating options that are close by. Everything feels very far away. But the property itself was good, however, one of the pools was really murky and yucky. But the other was great!

Nice weekend away

I took my daughter and her two best friends to stay for the weekend to celebrate her birthday. The apartment has everything you need and we loved the balcony. Lots of room for four people. We had a great time exploring the property. The girls played tennis and it was so nice that the rackets and balls were provided. Great communication with the host. I will say we did not love our meal at the on-site restaurant but it's nice that there is one there.

Everything and More!

Our stay at this property is always amazing. We have been there three times total to the condos and this was our second stay in this particular unit. Cheri is so attentive and professional in her communication. You can tell she takes pride in what she does as well as how she cares for the property. There are no details that have not been addressed there. There is more than enough supplies like kitchenware, utensils, pots and pans and condiments, as well as plenty of linens, towels, and toiletries for bathroom and bedrooms. The patio is probably one of the largest balconies on site. There are two areas to it so there is plenty of space. This outdoor space has a TV and we spent a lot of time out there hanging out playing board games and watching movies. The property has a fitness center as well as a swimming pool, hot tub and the grounds are just amazing to walk around and they have courts for Pickleball and tennis and disc golf is avail as well. I’m leaving so much out because the review is getting long, but I hope if you’re reading this, you will not wait any longer. Just go ahead and book and see for yourself. Everytime I’m there my stay gets longer because I LOVE IT. (3 days once, then 4 and this one was almost a week) Seeing all the deer and the natural beauty of the lake as well as taking walks just outside of the property and meeting some of the local neighbors are all added benefits. Several local restaurants are around as well…a 15-20 minute drive will get you there.

Nice stay, good property

We had a lovely weekend on Lake Travis. The host was helpful and communicative. The property itself was good but not great. Pros: • The location of the property overlooking the lake is incredible, and the view is amazing. • The apartment was well supplied with things like coffee, dish soap, etc. • The host warned us to be careful of deer when driving to the complex. And she was not kidding. There were hundreds of them! We love seeing wildlife and did not mind driving extra slow. It was so cool to see that many deer on and around the property. Cons: • Most thing about the apartment seem a bit dated. There’s nothing terribly wrong. It just has the feel of a place that’s 20 - 30 years old and in need of some renovation. • The complex could use a store on site to buy simple things like milk, bread, cereal, etc. It’s a bit of a hike to get to the grocery store. Overall nice stay — good but not great.

Perfect 20th Anniversary Here!

My husband and I shared our 20th anniversary here (along with our 14 yo daughter) and had such a great time. This condo had everything you could want! This host really took the time to think of everything you might need for a nice stay. It was extremely clean, comfortable, spacious, and the condo felt luxurious, with granite countertops and very nice glasses, pots and pans, supplies, games, books, etc. The oversized balcony was great in the mornings, as you can sit out and watch the deer below your balcony or the many birds singing in the trees as the sun rises. Head out to the two outdoor pools and two outdoor hot tubs. When we were here, there weren't a lot of guests in the resort, so we had the pool to ourselves a lot of the time. The view of the river is gorgeous! You can walk the length of the property all riverside, and you can even walk down a path all the way down to the river (this is likely the path that they take you down to put paddleboards in the water)- we watched the sunset as the water came up to our feet. The deer were adorable! We saw dozens of deer right on the property and in the surrounding neighborhoods. We even fed them carrots and they were gentle. There is a little shop and a restaurant on site. They offered bingo- first three cards for free- and then there was karaoke the next night. Cheri was extremely quick to respond to any questions we had. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Cheri for making our anniversary perfect!
