We all had a blast
My husband and I planned a weekend trip with a large group of friends we had 19 people and we had PLENTY of rooms and beds in the house. The property was very nice and clean the pool was amazing. The owner communicated with us very well and the check in and out process was very easy. We all said we would book here again! Thank you for hosting us!!!

What a great place for big groups. Wish the kitchen was a bit bigger, but there were enough dishes, etc. for the big group. Lots of nice places to hang out inside and out. Great communication with Tom at check-in and throughout our stay.

Review of waterfront home on lake travis
To be honest, our entire family had a great time! We were a bit surprised when we got to house that the pool was on side of driveway and there was absolutely no water in front of house and hasn’t been for a really long time! We thot maybe there would be a bit of water. We were told by owner that there wasn’t water after we booked but listing said it depends on water leveled and we should have investigated further. Overall house was great except having 2 bathrooms on one side of the house which was a bit of a challenge since one was inside a room where 6 people were sleeping . Overall nice stay and had everything we needed but just would have liked a bit of water to use on lake Travis eventho it’s been dry for a while now.

Great property
Tons of space, the owner Tom was awesome and super down to earth. Gave us tips on local places to go, was lenient on check out time, and just genuinely cared about us having a good time on our stay. We went for a bachelor party, and this is definitely the perfect spot for partying. Thanks again Tom!

Awesome place for a big group outing!
Came here for my brother's bachelor party. We had 17 guys and fit comfortably. Property is expansive and unique, with a great pool and huge backyard. Lake was dried up so that wasn't an option but otherwise this was a great place to stay outside of Austin. Host was excellent and went above and beyond in terms of communication and flexibility around check in / check out times. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a weekend away!

Great for bachelor parties
Had 15 guys stay for a bachelor party and it was a blast. There was no lake cause of the drought, but the pool was excellent and provided reprieve from the heat. The bed layout is perfect for large groups as everyone gets their own bed. Decently stocked kitchen and multiple grilling options available. Tom Grass was very clear and easy with his communication. Would highly recommend for bachelor parties!

Wonderful property!
We absolutely loved our stay. Our party of12 adults, 8 kids and 3 dogs stayed for 3 nights. Upon arrival the house was clean and welcoming. Fully stocked with everything we needed. The pool was amazing and very much enjoyed as the lake was dry in this particular area. All of us agreed that the property exceeded our expectations and we look forward to returning again. You will not be disappointed with this place. The owner is extremely courteous, prompt and a pleasure to deal with.

The Lake is Dried Up
Everything was amazing until the day before check in. The host called me to let me know the lake was dried up. This made a huge difference in the stay. We planned everything around the lake and was a let down. Host was great house was awesome tjr kake dried up, not so great. If I would have knew this is would have never stayed here. Huge let down. The advertisement needs to be changed to dried up lake.

Great pool, nice property
We enjoyed our stay. It's an older house and had some maintenance needs, but the owner was extremely quick to respond and get his handyman there. On the positive side, the house was very clean, well-supplied and spacious with tons of outside room and seating. The private saltwater pool was terrific. Our group of 14 used it constantly. It is well located with both sunny and and shaded areas most of the day, plenty of deck chairs, tables and umbrellas -- even pool toys and float mattresses. We are not boaters, so this didn't affect us much, but the listing should clarify that Lake Travis is so low now that the house is currently not "lakefront." The cove it's on was bone-dry. On the whole, a nice property if lake access is not important to you, with a very responsive owner.

Family Reunion at Lake Travis
Loved this place! Tom’s house was the perfect setting for our family reunion, with 20 people for a three-night stay. Tom is a generous host, stocking the house with more than the basic essentials, from spices to bathroom towels. The pool was terrific. We spent much of our time at the pool and grilling on the six-burner grill. Plenty of comfortable beds and lovely living/dining rooms for our big group. Tom made us feel at home. I highly recommend this property or renting anything from Tom.

Great Family Home with wonderful pool.
We had a wonderful time at this lovely home on the river. Tom the owner was very communicative and great to work with. Our family of 18 (9 adults and 9 kids ages 7-15yo) enjoyed lounging in the pool and playing boccee in the yard. There was plenty of room inside for naps and puzzles and cooking as a family. The extra living space in the room with the large bed and the loft twins was super useful as a kid cave for movies and board games. We highly recommend this property.

Great place for a large group
We had a group of 12 and this property had everything we needed for relaxing comfortably both inside and out! It was within striking distance of downtown Austin and some hill country attractions. The host, Tom, provided lots of info on things to do in the area and made the check-in and check-out process very easy. I would happily stay here again.

Great Getaway
This was a very relaxing getaway for our family. We had plenty of room both inside and outside. The kids loved the play area in the back and the pool was fabulous! There are so many different sitting areas outside to enjoy. Everything you need is nearby - groceries, play, restaurants. We had a great time and can't wait to go back.

This is the House!
This house exceeded my expectations! We take big family vacations minimum is usually about 20 of us and this house was perfect! Our Fourth of July stay included 4 families. Age range 2 months to grand parents. There was plenty of space for our huge playpen for the infant/toddlers. The little kids(age 5-10) enjoyed the pool and playground. We had rain during our stay and they enjoyed playing indoors in the loft and top bunks and hide and seek was a hit. The teenagers (14-17) enjoyed the pool and the lake with the paddle boat and canoeing. They had so much to explore! (A whole week and I didn’t ever see them on their cellphones!) The openness of the kitchen dining and living room was perfect so we could all interact with each other. The view from living room is just beautiful. Morning coffee out in the many seating areas was my favorite. The location was perfect for our boat rental day and our zip lining tour day and the drives to and from these places were very pleasant because we all enjoyed the winding hilly roads. The owner Tom was great and extremely helpful before and during our stay. I would definitely pick this place again for another lake vacation.

About the host

Host profile image
I maintain a clean residence with up-graded Hypoallergenic pillows - sheets that are Egyptian count 500 plus. Hardwood antique Bedframes and linen service and towel service to assure the linens are sanitized. I want people to have fun and see what I have loved for years about this natural Hill Country space

Why they chose this property

I offer a home that is fresh and clean - there are quality leather couches and quality art and a few trophy Dead heads to give the visitor a taste of the Texas Hill Country.
I take pride in my home and pride when I hear from all of those that visit that they had a wonderful time and made memories. When I travel- I do not accept a dirty home and I would not offer anything less than what I would expect for myself.

What makes this property unique

Sleeping arrangements of up to 20 in beds plus three children built-in loft bunks with wooden ladders - Scenery- the 50 ft long saltwater pool- conv. to shopping but with a country private feel - noise is not restricted and no immediate neighbors.
Wedding Venues are close by.
