Awesome Travis Lake Hill Country Short Stay

Our first Austin Family Vacation home was the best kid-friendly place we have ever encountered anywhere, but we could only rent until Thursday morning, and we needed two more nights to finish out our week with my 3 grandchildren (ages 3-10) and their parents. We felt exceptionally fortunate to be able to rent this great home in such a great location for our family for our last couple of days in Austin! Outside of the ping pong in one of the garages, the property itself did not have much for on-sight family/kids activities and we weren't there long enough to take advantage of the neighborhood association amenities, but would definitely recommend and return when we could spend more time!

Great Spot

We had a wonderful stay. Well appointed home with an interesting layout. Stairs are very steep...home not for anyone with mobility issues. Other than that it was excellent. Great view of the Dam.
