Shiraz Haus: Lakefront villa on vineyard, 45 mins from Downtown Austin

Shiraz Haus Unit B

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Tucked on a lakefront family vineyard, this 2BR villa in Hill Country offers lake views from an open concept gathering space and large deck. Launch into Lake Travis from the onsite boat dock or drive 45 minutes to explore downtown Austin.

Bask in sunshine and lake views in the open concept gathering space, where tall picture windows bring the outside in, elegant hardwood floors add style, and vaulted ceilings create a sense of airiness. Unwind in comfortable sofa and chair seating in the living room, where a flat-screen TV is equipped with DirecTV and a DVD player -- bring your favorite flick or choose from our selection. Adjacent, the sunny dining space has a wood table for family-style meals. Uncork a bottle of wine while dinner simmers at the breakfast bar. Outfitted with stainless steel appliances and wood cabinetry, the kitchen is designed to keep the chef in tune with conversation. There’s no oven here, but we provide a convection oven for your convenience. Get some fresh air on the lake-view deck, where you can sit down for meals at the dining table for seven or sip your morning coffee in a quiet lounge area.

Down the hallway, you’ll find both bedrooms and a shared bathroom with stone-tiled standing shower. The main bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed and a stately dark wood dresser, and the second bedroom features a twin-over-queen bunk bed.

There are plenty of ways to spend the day without even leaving your Hill Country rental. Wander between rows of grapes in the vineyard, or cool off on the lake by boating, jet skiing, sailing or just floating the afternoon away. We are on one of the deepest coves of Lake Travis -- the water is currently 45-feet deep below our boat dock. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, drive 13 minutes to Gnarly Gar, a floating restaurant where you can feed the fish while enjoying mouthwatering burgers and tacos. Fuel up in the morning with breakfast tacos at Deedee’s, a 7-minute drive away. Head to Marble Falls to pick up a bottle of wine at Flat Creek Estate (15 minutes by car), or a bundle of berries at pick-your-own Sweet Berry Farms (a 30-minute drive away). If you’re looking for something a little more high energy, downtown Austin is just a 45-minute drive from your rental. Taste test your way around well-regarded bars and restaurants, catch a set or two of live music, and be sure to visit the historic Texas Capitol.

Our stay

The place was pleasant. The view was very very nice. The place was clean. The only problem is the water smelled real bad so we could not drink it or bathe in it. Besides the water everything else was great with this being on a winery I did expect to have some wine or for them to have some wine which they did not

Lovely place!

Beautiful views, serene vineyard setting. Access to the lake a challenge - steep, 160 steps to the dock - was physically challenging - so berated if you want to be in the water.

Perfectly adécuate.

We loved the patio specifically the view in the morning of the lake. The beds were very comfy! Waking up in the morning next to the vineyard, with the sun rising and the light coming into the whole unit was the icing in top!

Perfect close getaway

We loved our weekend stay at this cute place overlooking Lake Travis. It was very quiet, well equipped. They do note there isn't an oven, but we were able to make due with the convection/toaster oven. Great place to relax and recharge.

Great Lake views

Location was great specially during covid times as you are practically isolated. But you will share the balcony with the unit next door. Views are amazing property was well kept! My only reservation was the access to the dock down the lake. The stairs were very steep but once you get there it is great and you can swim and fish!! My kids loved it! I hope to be back soon!!

Mini Reunion

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The facilities were very nice and clean. Except we ran short of lavatory supplies the second day. Could not understand the excessive noise complaint as this was a group of 60plus old farts just telling stories with the music turned down so we could here each other.c

We love this property. Location and the view of the lake is amazing.

This was our second visit and we enjoyed it. Property is well kept. Boat dock is in excellent condition with dock fenders and bumpers and 3 boat slips. Two of the slips were used by the owner's boats and one was avaible for use on first come first serve basis. Side of the dock can also be used to safely tie your boat to the dock without worry of damage since the property is located in a very quiet very low boat traffic cove in no wake zone. Stairs (70+ steps) down to dock can be challenging for someone older or with disability. We didn't have any issue and plan to return.

Very nice property but not good support

Internet never worked properly, they kept saying we will fix but never got fixed during our stay. Some stuff were broken and when reported surprisingly were told that they were aware of those things, but never bother to fixed.

Beautiful view

Clean, peaceful, quiet and serene! We did not want to leave but we will definitely be going back! Easy access to the Lake, we walked down to the gate and jumped right in! Several parks in the area with access to swimming. Everything we needed was there, from kitchen accessories to toiletries. The views were stunning, nice big deck overlooking the Lake. The only thing you need to take into consideration, is the sidewalk that leads down to the rental home. If we would have taken our elderly parents, there is no way they would have made the climb up the side walk back to where the vehicle parking is located. Its very steep & just not a very easy walk. Also lots of steps to get down to the boat dock & back up.

Men's Weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great time at the Shiraz House. The view is just as pictured. The house was in excellent condition. We had a group of 4 men. The balcony is shared with the duplex neighbor and is only separated by a small wood fence. Our neighbor was not outside so this was not an issue as we stayed on balcony and played games. We thought the pull out coach was a sofa bed, but apparently it is officially not, thus there are no linens provided for it. Great place.

Great place but had issues

At first we thought the house looked. Which it did on the surface. But as time went on we realized it wasn’t that clean. The dishes in the cabinet were dirty. The blinds that face the owners house were broken so we couldn’t close them. We felt like he could watch us through the windows. All together we saw 4 roly-poly‘s, 3 spiders and a scorpion. We know we’re by the lake and some of that is understandable. But it felt like the house had never been sprayed. Beautiful location just needs some attention to detail.

Lake Travis Cove Villa

The Villa on Vineyard - Shiraz Haus was really nice. Plenty of room for 4 people, shower was great, house was cold except the main bedroom was a little too warm for us. The balcony is large and plenty of room to hang out - the view of the lake is great. The cover where the villa is located is quiet and the water smooth - we loved being back there. And its very convenient to Emerald Point, Volente Beach, Shack512, and the zip line cove. A few things though... the steps from the villa to the boat deck is not easy - you get winded. Just be prepared and be careful. The boat dock needs some work (boards need to be nailed down) but was great to have a place to have our boat while we stayed. Our friends stayed in the haus next door to us so it was easy and convenient to hang out. And besides the owners in the main house, that is it. So pretty private. We would definitely rent again.

A Chilly Girls' Weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: So, we had a little trouble getting there, and we ended up at Nature's Point thinking that's where we were supposed to be. We were wandering around the property there in the dark in 30 degree rain, when we finally decided to call TurnKey for help. They were so helpful, and guided us back to the correct property. When we got there, it was also pitch black, and we couldn't see the villas from the parking area. It was super dark, so for two girls alone, we would have loved to have some lighting to show us the way. When we got to the villa, we couldn't open the lock box. The lock was stuck and just wouldn't click. We were freezing and frustrated! After about 20 tries, it finally opened. The property was lovely, clean, and up to date. Beds were super comfortable, and the villa was warm and cozy. Our main issue was that there wasn't much seating. With the weather being so horrible, we were kind of stuck in the house, and we would have loved to each have our own couch to hang out on. We went to the Flat Creek Winery and Bistro, and it was wonderful. Overall, a nice relaxing weekend, just wish there was more seating.

Great view, ZERO kitchen supplies, Dangerous Access to Lake

great spot if you want to just hang on the balcony and enjoy the view and the peace and quiet. it's cute unit in a quaint set up. If you want direct lake access be prepared to risk your life on the 100 foot long rickety metal stairway with patchy railings. THe kitchen has zero supplies like spices, even salt or any food storage options.

Lake living

We had a lovely time at Shiraz Haus - we boat on Lake Travis often, so are familiar with the cove. The dock was great for swimming and fishing. I loved the large balcony for relaxing in the evening. This cove is deep enough for boats/swimming even with the current low lake levels. This means that the stairs to the dock are long, but that should be expected.
