About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lake Travis - 4 Bed, 2 Bath, with spectacular views

Lake Travis waterfront home with the opportunity to fish, swim, or kayak, from your own backyard! This lovely home has a private boat dock, 3 kayaks, 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Enjoy the serene and private home and lounge in one of the decks. Your family will enjoy playing games and/or sharing a meal overlooking the lake viewed from the large living room windows. End your day on a kayak and view spectacular sunsets!

**NOTE: Lake Travis is currently suffering from a serious drought and the docks are not afloat at this time. (see last several photos for recent lake level pictures). We have significantly reduced our nightly rate due to the absence of waterfront. No waterfront at this time.

Fully registered Short Term Rental (STR) #OL 2023 007114.

Home is located only 20 minutes away from downtown Austin. The waterfront is steps away from the property and surrounded by beautiful foliage. Nearby is a boat launch and public park. This is a perfect getaway for families, friends, and adventure seekers!

Our property has lots of stairs between the driveway and the home. Its perched high upon a hillside overlooking the lake bed, so if you have trouble with stairs, please inquire before booking.

** Lake Travis water level update: the lake level fluctuates and is very very low at the moment. The docks are not floating! Lake is low and no waterfront is present at property at this time. You will need to walk south of the property through a trail to reach the waterfront**

House is also available to rent for long term rental, (31+ days minimum) provided at a 50% discounted rate.

Beautiful Birthday Celebration!
We celebrated our son’s 50th Birthday. He lives solo in Austin, but no room to celebrate. We live in Kentucky, so we needed to figure out where and how to celebrate with him and his friends. This was the perfect solution! The owner very generously allowed us to invite guests other than just the few of us who were staying overnight, and we had a perfect celebration! Everyone loved the setting, the view, the outdoor decks, and the lovely setting inside. Kids could run off their excess energy outside! Thank you so much to our hosts!

Affordable group accomodations
For the price of just one room at budget hotels, it was awesome to be able to house five adults in a private home with great views and room to relax. Could have handled one more guest. As the owner clearly emphasizes in the description, trying to park up top is not worth it for most vehicles.

Suggestions
The house is in good location. Owner did warn there's no water and very dry. But only 2 posted photos about it. Should have had more photos showing the dry and drought. The photos showing water were old shouldn't be on the properties listing page. Parking is tricky and rough driveway. Wish had photos showing it to expect rugged way in back of properties.Upper and lower driveway are steep like 45 degrees. A dolly would help if known in advance. House interior is nice & clean. Upstairs shower had some sewer smell like 5 minutes showering. Owner was friendly and talked thru with confused parking .Thank you. Other than that the stay was fine. Our family would have had more fun if there were water in the lake.

Perfect for our friends weekend.
Communication with property owners was great, check in and check out process was a breeze. The house had everything we needed and slept 7 adults comfortably. The weeds around the stairs leading up the house needed to be mowed down to make it a bit easier getting to the house, other than that everything was perfect.

We had a great time at this house on the lake! It was very clean and fairly spacious! The shower head in the downstairs bathroom kept falling off the shower wall, but other than that, it was comfortable for us.

Beautiful location on a lake. There are a lot of steps which was a bit of a surprise, it would be better to mention more prominently for guests who are coming with elderly family members. Comfortable beds and well supplied kitchen. We enjoyed the kayaks and fire pit.

Great location- home had many historical features.
Location location!. The home had a sewer smell outside and in the add -on room where 1 bath and the laundry were located. Unusable 2nd bath. Older home- linens, and towels were acceptable. One kayak had a hole which we didn’t discover until rescue was needed. A boat was kind enough to get passenger & kayak home. View of the lake was very beautiful. Parking is on a lower level so there are lots of stairs. The steep drive was impossible to navigate so we carried everything up. Once the smell is mitigated, it is a fun location-

Not exactly what we bargained for
I think the draw to this property is definitely the view. The house sits atop a high hill and the view is amazing from the deck. The interior of the house left much to be desired. It could use a lot of TLC. With work it has the potential to be an amazing rental property. Also, while we were there the city code inspector came out to the house twice around 10p.m. as the house was not licensed to be rented. That was quite the experience. The owners did compensate us for the inconvenience but nevertheless, an uneasy interaction with city authority.

Great Place for a Family Lake Vacation
This is my second time to stay at this property for a family vacation. We liked being able to bring our boat and leave it at the private dock. It makes boating so much easier when our boat is already in the water. Since this house is a four bedroom, there was plenty of room for our adult children and their “significant others”. The renovated kitchen served us well for our meals, as well as the grill and deck. We made s’mores from the fire in the natural fire pit. We feel secure there in the gated neighborhood. There are a lot of treacherous stairs, but they lead to a fantastic lake view. Though the house wasn’t perfect with some creaky floors, a small shower, and a staircase where you may have to duck your head, we found it the perfect space for our family vacation two years in a row! The owners have continued to take good care of us and communicate well.

Extended Stay
My girlfriend and I stayed here for 10 weeks and were delighted with the choice in doing so. It's about the closest to the city of Austin while simultaneously being on Lake Travis. We got to be immersed in nature with the luxury of still being close to grocery stores, restaurants and other things. The communication and attentiveness from the hosts was great throughout.
