Cozy and relaxing stay

We stayed here to view the total eclipse and the cottage was perfect for our needs. It was quiet, private, clean, and well-supplied. Randall was great with communication both before and during our trip. Highly recommend for those looking for a peaceful retreat close enough to Austin, but outside the hustle and bustle of the metro area.

Awesome Lakeside Retreat

I was able to rent this place for a Labor Day weekend with a friend who had recently moved to Texas. This place was perfect to relax and reconnect at! The view is absolutely stunning and we spent most of our time on the dock and floating in the water. An awesome weekend, definitely book if you can!

Amazing view

The location if perfect when you want to relax. You have a direct access to the lake. We stayed 2 days and was good. You’ve a Bbq. There’s many stairs if you’ve a new Walker you’ve to play attention all the time. There’s no internet that’s an issue for us description on the website was not accurate. Unfortunately Water smells bad in the house but the good news is that you got a good location for a weekend.

Bummed

The views are wonderful. Laid in futon watching fire flies and sunset. The cove was deep and could jump off deck and enjoy the quiet. But... Will never go back! Rented for 10 yr anniversary for quick 3 day vacation. You need to be ware that the road to get there is steep, can hurt under side of car if sharp turn to get on down hill rd to cabin. Upon arrival, door was unlocked and bathroom window open-unsafe as Someone could have been inside. Was 100 degrees inside. Was told cleaning lady would have place clean and turn AC units on...Took a long tome to cool down. Was in need of good cleaning as spider webs everywhere.. Also, there are 30 worn out wooden steps to get down to cabin and 80 concrete steps to get down to water. The lights on floating dock don’t work, hanging steps to get out of water onto deck were dangerous as the wood was broken and it almost broke off trying to get up. Plus screws were sticking out of wood! Almost sliced foot open. No water floats, bring own. Major concern was electrical on doc as husband is master electrician... open exposed electrical joints... Bed was not that comfortable, shower water smells I guess from sulfur. And you have to drive to take trash out the front of neighborhood with key and come back to return key to cabin when leaving. Again views great but really needs updating and fixing up. People should know it is not handicap friendly as well.

Be prepared for LLTS OF STAIRS

The cabin was the perfect size, beautiful view, and very clean. The only concern I had was the lighting along all of the stairs. Not bright enough. Stairs are steep and not for the out of shape, elderly, or severely disabled. Make all bags and coolers light when packing because it is a task getting items to and fro. With all that said WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME!!!

We had a good time

I had seen these photos and adored them. Yet once I actually got there after our 3 hr drive I noticed the photos were not accurate . The water level in the photos were no where near what they were when we went. so we had 118 steps just to get down and up to the water , not to mention the stairs from the parking space . I told the management I was bringing MY PARENTS . Not many parents in there 60s wanna be going up and down so many steps thats for sure. Also the electricity didnt work on the steps or boat dock so no evenings by the water so that was a big issue for us . Also the water from the sink smells HORRIBLE but we had water bottles to drink thank god . The windows were filthy with little hand prints all over them and dead bugs all over them . BUT I still made the best of it and had a good time . I was kinda sad for my parents tho concidering this vacation was for them . Next time I plan a trip I will for sure be asking for recent up dated photos . and make sure the water isnt over 200 steps away .

Hideaway

The house was perfect for my wife and I. Upon arrival we went to the wrong house because of how hidden this house was. Views are amazing and the house provides you everything you need. On a side note, big trucks will have issues at this location. There are a lot of stairs to climb and at night the area is blacked out until you reach the porch area. No complaints about the property and Randall is an awesome guy to talk with and with help with anything you need.

Excellent swimming

My girlfriend and our friends got together here over the long weekend. The property was very nice and well outfitted for lounging, cooking, etc. The highlight was the excellent swimming in the deep water cove. The lake was about 15 feet deep at the end of the dock and the water was very clear and very comfortable. Some things to note: there isn’t WiFi and the bed situation is one queen bed, a pullout couch, and a futon. But the beds were comfortable enough for us and we were able to stream using data as needed, so none of these things were a big deal. Our group has been to many different properties on Lake Travis and decided this was one of the best in terms of cost and quality!

Great hanging out at the dock

We had a good time. Arrived on a Thursday and left on a Friday. It's very tight driving through the neighborhood, so don't bring a boat / trailer down there. Be ready for a workout climbing steps. The property is as described. Although there are neighbors, it was very quiet and seemed secluded. I would return.

Beautiful, Private Location on The Lake

My wife and I stayed at this beautiful lakeside property to relax and work remotely. There is no internet but we were able to hot-spot from out cell phones fine with AT&T and Verizon - enough to do online video meetings. We brought our boat and tied it at the dock for daily excursions - recommend early morning or evening for the smoothest water. The location is ideal for someone who wants to be on the water but out of the main hustle and bustle of the lake. The accomodations are clean and functional and provide a nice view of the water. One bedroom but can easily sleep 4-6 out in the main room. Be careful on the way in because of steep roads - make sure to follow directions to get into the driveway the correct way! We will come and stay again.

Kids Fishing weekend

The property was exactly as described on the site. Check in was seamless and correspondence from the owners was prompt, professional and courteous. The cove is beautiful and the water clear. Was also deep as promised...55 feet in the center! Lots of steps from parking to house and house to boat dock. Great workout but not for those that may have physical limitations. Dock was in need of minor repair for access from steps and is without electricity which would have been nice for the boat. Also would be nice if covered part of boat dock was accessible to us as it had another older boat in it already. We had a boat and roads in community are not accommodating to anything larger than fishing boat with ramp access being a little tricky. Worked for us and other options existed. Overall was a fantastic time for my kids and would do it again.

Nice, quiet, and relaxing...

Our stay at this cottage was enjoyable... We were somewhat secluded, yet close enough to all the action so that we wouldn't have missed out on any action. We came down for the weekend, and we could not have asked for a more relaxing atmosphere to have given us a break from city life. I highly recommend this place for a romantic getaway.

Beautiful Cottage with a Beautiful View

My Wife and I rented this Cottage in Hatter Cove for the 4th of July weekend. We had such a great time! The Cottage was clean and has beautiful views. Also, the owner Randall was a pleasure to work with and has the cottage packed with everything you will need to grill, or cook inside the Cottage. The boat dock is a perfect place to take a swim and the scenery in this cove is AMAZING. If you are looking for a place to spend a week or weekend to get away, then you have found the place you are looking for. My wife and I are already planning another trip with our Parents. The Cottage can sleep up to 6 comfortably. Also, if you have your own boat then I would advise taking it with you. There is plenty of room around the dock to dock your boat as well.
