The Above Vacation Residences Difference

Guests trusting ABOVE for their luxury travel learn that the unexpected is our standard.

Luxury Services for every guest- Our mission is to provide unforgettable service, wrapped within the luxury of a custom estate, curating a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

•Concierge Planning- Our service managers are ready to pre-book the best experiences to make our destinations come alive and assist with any pre-arrival needs for your group.
•24/7 personal House Manager service- At check-in, you will be introduced to your personal House Manager who is carefully selected and trained in the art of service. Our House Managers visit daily and our managers are available 24/7 to deliver that ABOVE 5-star experience.
•We will also delight you with the ABOVE Welcome Experience, daily refresh service, luxury spa amenities, luxury white linens, and more!

ABOVE Hacienda Estate is a stunning custom home on over 1 acre of lakefront land with a backyard oasis featuring a beautiful, huge pool with hot tub, swim up bar and pool slide next to the outdoor kitchen, pickleball court and lakeside "beach."

** All bookings with ABOVE must be pre-approved before they are considered confirmed.

Great Family Destination
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There are 5 siblings in the family and we try to have a joint vacation every year. We missed a couple of trips due to CoVid so it was great to have a fantastic property like the Hacienda to host our reunion. Everybody loved the River access and the amenities that the home offered.We could pick a few nits, but the management team did an excellent job.

The Best Family Weekend Trip Ever!
Let me start off by saying this was the BEST TRIP our BIG family has ever taken. We had 19 people (10 adults and 9 children) stay 3 nights in this wonderful property. There was something for everyone to do and we NEVER LEFT THE PROPERTY for 3 days! It was amazing. From pickleball/basketball court, to paddleboarding, to a pool with a slide, to a movie room, to swimming at the lake and having a beach access for the kids to easily get in and play in the sand, to countless TVs and space for each individual family to have privacy...the list goes on and on. The house is fully stocked with whatever you need to cook, and feel like its your very own home for the weekend. Our property manager Theresa was INCREDIBLE. She answered any questions and would text back immediately if we had any. Her sweet nature and awesome attitude made us feel even more at home! We were very thankful to have this extra touch. Not to mention we were in touch with Sean the weeks leading up to the trip and was just so helpful. The house was VERY clean, spacious, enough space for everyone to have their own privacy if needed, and truly an amazing trip for all ages (from 1 to 70). The location on the lake is perfect for families with kids, it is more quiet than being on the lake side of lake travis. We felt comfortable here with the kids swimming and having the time of their lives. We will be booking this house for our next family get together. The memories created here will never be forgotten.

It has Potential
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house could potentially be an exceptional place to stay and experience. The many small things that went wrong added up to be something that could not be overlooked. The amenities the house offers are great if they all worked as they should have worked. The house and grounds should have been kept more clean given the cost per night to stay at the house. The house manager was great and she did as much as she could to get things fixed.

So Much Fun and Relaxing
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arranged for a family vacation with our adult children and grandchildren. Everyone loved the house and property. The inside is very large and comfortable. The pool, large lawn and lake are perfect activity areas. It was a great family reunion. The house manager, Evie, was extremely helpful. We would absolutely rent this home again.

BEST house!
Rented house for a girls getaway weekend. The house is amazing!! The owners have thought of everything possible for their guests. Not only was the house 5 star. The rental company that manages the home. Hands down they are 10000% the BEST ever. Someone greeted me at check in and was there to help answer any questions etc during our stay. Definitely a 5 star home and 5 star staff to help along the way. Cannot say enough positive things about the property and the management. Beyond impressed!!!!
