Fantastic getaway. A+ Host

We were a group of 9 which included 4 kids under 12. The property was extremely clean with plenty of supplies. Bedding, towels were soft and comfortable. Everything that was described was there and our stay exceeded our expectations. There is a large deck you can sit and enjoy the view from, Although we were there for a family get together and did not go to the lake, location is mins away from Lake Travis. Host was very helpful and was in contact through out the trip. Our kids had a blast and complimented how comfortable everything was. Greatly recommend A++

Very Convenient

We enjoyed our stay. Everything in the house is conveniently located. We were able to find everything in the kitchen that we needed. The patio was such a relaxing and enjoyable space. We had plans to do things in Austin, but enjoyed relaxing in the house so much, we only went out one of our four days.

Beautiful house on cliff with gorgeous views

We loved our long weekend at this lovely home on a cliff near Lake Travis. It was beautifully decorated, had very comfortable beds, and plenty of comfortable seating in the living room, which is very important to me. Our favorite thing, however, was the two-level deck out the back with amazing views. This was where we spent most of our time! Our host, Elisa, was very kind & helpful, and responded quickly to the one issue we had while there. Overall, it was a great time and a lovely home. We would definitely stay there again!

Take in the hills and valleys from the back deck as the sun goes down or comes up. You are 10 minutes from The Oasis for some breathtaking views of Lake Travis. Rent a boat and cruise Lake Austin - everything is within minutes from this home!

What makes this property unique

Close to downtown Austin, Lake Travis, Lake Austin, Hill Country Wineries, Lakeway, The Oasis - everything! Into hiking or biking? This is the spot! Close to all the spots to hike (Pace Bend, Emma Long, Turkey Creek, Walnut Creek). Bringing a boat? Launch at multiple public boat ramps and enjoy the crisp, clear water! Need to rent a boat? Ask me for a recommendation! Lake Austin is the hot spot for surfing and wakeboarding!
