A trip back in time

Lovely property on the most incredible lot on the lake! We enjoyed our time relaxing and boat watching. Surrounded by 'fancy' houses, but we love and perfer this 1960s charmer.

Lake House 25 min from campus

We loved staying here. The lake was very busy on Sat and Sunny which made for excellent boat and people watching from our Adirondacks in the yard. Monday was so peaceful and we had great fun kayaking. Will stay here again.

Visit with our sons and daughter-in-law

What a great location and a refreshing blast to the past. This perfect lake home from a different era took us back to a simpler and more relaxing time. So great to just hang out and relax with our adult kids and catch a fish from the shore. The home was so nice and clean and perfect for our visit. Lolla was great and communicated everything very well. Thanks! Chris

The Perfect GetAway!

This place is an amazing water front property on Lake Austin! This warm cozy home has perfect views of the lake and Mt. Bonnell that we enjoyed viewing from the inside living room and several outdoor seating spaces. Our family was in awe of this property and it’s convenient location to downtown Austin. The owner was very responsive before and after our stay and had everything setup perfectly at the house for us! We will definitely be back!!!

Amazing experience loved it!!!!

This property is in THE most magical amazing location you can ask for. Near everything yet it feels far away from the city. The boats - the water. Sitting outside In All the amazing spots to view the lake and relax. Kayaking up the canal and out onto the river. Easy to relax and enjoy each others company. It was unbearably hot everywhere but the house. The house remained breezy and cool under the huge majestic trees .. which added to the magic. .. we were visited by swans and ducks and a sweet super friendly dog “Brady” although we had plans in Austin. ..we didn’t want to leave the house It was wonderful. You can tell that generations of family have loved this house and enjoyed it. It felt like staying with family or friends. Warm and inviting…my teenagers and me and my husband ..loved it definitely would book again !!

Private Oasis on Lake Austin

This property is perfect for enjoying the lake. The beautiful yard with direct access to the water is so nice! The house is immaculate with ample necessities and a wonderful, safe fire pit area. We thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboard. This is a fabulous find if you enjoy the water and serenity. We are planning our next visit! Thank you for sharing this special place.

Best. Lakehouse. Ever.

I hesitate to be overly fulsome in my praise because I’d like to keep this gem as my secret. But, for real, it was nothing but lovely. It was the perfect place to escape for a lowkey birthday weekend during Covid.

Lakeside

A dream come true. I have always wanted to stay right on the lake, and you couldn't get closer if you tried! I live in Austin and have been self quarantined in my house because I'm at high risk, and I needed a re-set! I got it! I wish I could post pictures!

Awesome

Best vacation rental! Clean, comfy beds, location is perfect on corner lot with water on 2 sides, and home has windows on 2 sides so you always view the lake, plus a wonderful water front patio to relax on. We were either in the water or chilling on the patio. Kayaks were a big plus! We hated to leave. Will definitely be back & I recommend this rental to anyone who wants lake time!
