About this property

Lake Travis Views just steps away from the water on Lake Travis

At The Perch on the South Shore of Lake Travis, we believe that spending time with loved ones is what makes for a truly memorable vacation!! Our secluded cove is the perfect place to relax and enjoy all that nature has to offer, including napping in the hammock, fishing, boating, and warming up by the bonfire. And because we love our four-legged friends, we're happy to welcome pets to our community! So come on down and enjoy a great vacation with us! Life is better at the lake.

The communal area is large enough for privacy but also allows for a way to meet new friends. Who knows, your new best friend may be there now. Come experience why guests return year after year.

The Perch, which was once part of Robin's Nest Bed & Breakfast, is a two-bedroom unit which is part of a duplex located on the top floor overlooking Stewart's Cove. It can comfortably accommodate up to six people, but no more than six. It has its own entrance from the outside via a set of stairs. You can also inquire about renting both the Perch and the Nest for a larger group.

This home has many amazing aspects that make it hard for guests to say goodbye, including:

- The 24 ft covered patio overlooks the beautiful Lake Travis. It can be accessed from the front bedroom and the living room; has a dining table for your enjoyment as well. This will be the perfect spot for you to start your day with a cup of coffee as the world wakes up, or end the day with a nice glass of wine as the sun sets.
- The Perch shares property with two other residences (which can be rented with The Perch if you’re traveling in a large group) that all have access to the boat dock, 150 feet of shoreline, and access to the common area. The common area (shared space) provides: a large fire pit, hammock, and the dock! As of May 2024. There is no water left in the cove for swimming or watercrafts, due to Lake Travis lake levels being very low.

If you’ve had your fun in the sun and are needing a night on the town, hop in the car and you can be and keep it weird in Downtown Austin - just 20 miles away! The surrounding Texas Hill Country also offers plenty of shops, restaurants, wineries, and hikes for you to indulge in. Or, simply walk down the street and enjoy a meal on the water at the Sundancer Grill - just a two minute walk from The Perch!

Escape the Texas heat with your friends and family lakeside at The Perch!

Older place, funky Austin feel, otherwise great
Family gathering for the eclipse. Very nice place, good beds, updated bathroom fixtures. Nice firepit out front, hammock in the trees, great covered front porch overlooking the live oaks. Lake still low so no access to water. And close to a very nice restaurant within walking distance. Fairly compete utensils available. Took some time to figure out the thermostat (no instructions available). We will be back someday for more gatherings!

Great stay!
This lake house was fabulous! Just right for 4 adults; swimming at the cove was serene and beautiful, accommodations were gorgeous! We met the owner and was lovely and gracious and gave us firewood for the fire pit. Would 100% stay here again!

Cute upstairs unit
My husband and i stayed here for a month while we were waiting on our home to be remodeled. The area is perfect - great views of the lake and very peaceful. The unit was decorated tastefully, kitchen was well-stocked, beds were comfortable, and we had everything we needed during our stay. The unit does not have a washer and dryer, although iTrip delivered fresh linens and towels during our stay so we have no complaints!

From start to stop this space was exactly what we were looking for...and needed. Plenty of space for our group of 7 and comfortable sleeping accommodations for all. The space was clean and had all the necessary items for any group to enjoy the home. The best part was the view and the well kept grounds. Lots of toys on the dock to enjoy too. This space was simply amazing from the go and I have already told many folks to go and check it out. I am also looking to plan another stay out there just to get away. Thank you!

Description of Advertised Property Not Correct
Property was advertised as a "home" and the word apartment was never used, and also as a private waterfront property. Neither is correct. I found out I was renting the top half (apartment) not a home when I received my instructions two days before the rental. My husband and I are seniors and have difficulty climbing stairs. In addition, property common area is shared by 5 other rentals - therefore, it is not private waterfront - very discouraged by the above - all other amenities were as shown in the advertisement - And one other comment - no cable and the wifi is sketchy -

The Perch is Perfect
This is our second trip to the Perch. It is great for my family of four, and the boat dock in the calm quiet cove is perfect for keeping my boat, and for swimming in the water. There is no dishwasher, so bring paper products to keep from having to hand wash too many dishes. The place was clean and provided some snacks when we arrived! It's a cute, updated place. I'll be back!

The Perch
This was our 2nd time renting at The Perch. The view cannot be beat! The house is nice and constantly being updated. It has a small kitchen that functions well if you are not cooking for a large crowd. My only suggestion is to have more places to store items (like a shelf in both bathrooms for toiletries and drawers in the master bedroom for clothes.) Even with these little thing, I would go back tomorrow. In fact I would buy this place if she offered! I LOVE IT THERE!!!

Great Vacation on the Lake
We loved The Perch on Lake Travis. It was the perfect getaway during the coronavirus. It was clean, well maintained and right on the lake. The area is also close to a fantastic boat rental agency. We had the best time and would definitely go back.
