Sunset Waterfront Escape w/ Pool & River Views, Minutes to Lake Travis!

Welcome to our stunning Lake Travis retreat! This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers breathtaking Texas Hill Country sunsets, walls of windows, and spacious decks. The home sleeps 12, features a king primary suite, and a game room with a pool table. Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, high-speed Wi-Fi, and streaming services. Relax with Sonos speakers throughout, and bring your pets along! Only 25 minutes from downtown Austin, this perfect escape is near marinas, parks, and boat rentals.

We have an expansive 360 tour of this space - check it out by scanning the QR code in the image gallery. You can use the floor plan or the navigation bar at the bottom to explore the house. Also, if you go to an outdoor space, look up, and click the cloud with the arrow, then you will also get a tour of Austin! Enjoy!

Step into a world of comfort and style as you enter this beautiful home. The living room, adorned with expansive windows, fills the space with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Unwind on the sleeper sofa while watching your favorite shows on the large smart TV or connect with high-speed Wi-Fi for a seamless streaming experience.

The fully equipped kitchen, complete with a dishwasher, offers everything you need to prepare delicious meals. Adjacent to the kitchen, the elegant dining room provides ample space for your group to enjoy meals together. The Sonos speakers throughout the house ensure you can enjoy your favorite music in every room.

On the main floor, the primary bedroom features a luxurious king bed and an en-suite bathroom with a double vanity. Downstairs, you`ll find two queen bedrooms, each with a hanging chair, perfect for a relaxing read or simply taking in the view. The bunk bed room, with its four built-in twin beds, is ideal for children or additional guests. All beds are fitted with custom luxury hotel linens, ensuring a restful night`s sleep.

The lower level of the home boasts a game room equipped with a kitchenette, fridge, pool table, and other games, providing endless entertainment options. This level also grants access to an open-air porch, offering shade and fresh breezes while still giving you that close-to-nature feeling. It’s perfect for relaxing and soaking in the surroundings, though it’s intentionally open so you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the Texas Hill Country without a barrier in between.

Both full bathrooms are stocked with all the essentials, including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers. The in-unit laundry, located on the bottom floor, ensures you have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along for the adventure, but note that we don`t have a fenced-in area for them.

The property features two expansive decks, perfect for taking in the stunning hill country views. One deck is fully open with comfortable furniture and a hanging chair, ideal for soaking in the scenery, while the other is a roof-shaded open-air deck. Designed to be completely open to the fresh air, you’ll feel the gentle Texas breezes and be surrounded by nature, all while enjoying shade from the sun; a perfect spot for evening gatherings or morning coffee, and BBQing!

Just a few steps below, the backyard now boasts our brand-new Cowboy Pool. This chic stock-tank plunge pool comes with a built-in heater and chiller, letting you dial up a toasty soak when the nights turn crisp or cool things down after a sun-drenched lake day. It’s a playful, year-round oasis that turns an already gorgeous outdoor area into your own private mini-resort.

✦ Cowboy Pool Disclaimer: We want our guests to enjoy all the amenities our property has to offer, including the pool. However, please be aware that the availability of the pool might be affected by necessary maintenance, cleaning, or unforeseen issues that arise beyond our control. Our commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable experience means there may be times when the pool is not accessible. Your understanding and flexibility are greatly appreciated as we work to ensure your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Our home is surrounded by nature near Lake Travis. We have professional pest control services and thorough cleaning between each stay, but you may occasionally see harmless insects outdoors or near entryways.

Parking is available in both the upper and lower driveways. The upper driveway has an electric vehicle charger available and offers a steep walk down some stairs, while the lower driveway requires climbing 61 steps but provides easier parking.

Accessing the home requires climbing a long flight of outdoor stairs that are steep and can be uneven in places. This is a common feature of lakefront properties, but it`s definitely a bit of a climb! Please consider this carefully if anyone in your group has mobility concerns. We’re happy to answer questions and help you decide if our home is the right fit. Be sure to check out our detailed parking guide to find the best access point for your group.

Please note that Lake Travis is a dynamic reservoir known for its fluctuating water levels, designed to capture water during rainy seasons and conserve it during drier periods. For guests interested in monitoring the lake`s water levels during their stay or planning their waterfront activities, up-to-date information can be found by searching `Lake Travis Water Level`.

Located just 25 minutes from downtown Austin, this home is perfectly situated for exploring the city while enjoying the tranquility of the Hill Country.

Getting around is quick and easy. The house is situated right on Bullick Hollow Rd, which gives you direct access to FM 620, as well as 2769 (Lime Creek). There isn`t much public transportation in the area, so you`d be best off having a car available, but you can easily use any ride-sharing company like Lyft or Uber to go downtown and back. We will provide codes in your booking email and in the House Manual.
We also have two driveways; an upper from the main road, and then a lower driveway at the lake level. We recommend the lower driveway as the upper driveway is very steep and is good for only 2 vehicles (NO TRUCKS). There are a maximum of 4 vehicles allowed at the property total. Please minimize the in and out traffic on the lower driveway and close the gate behind you.

We have security cameras outside of our home at the entrances for added security and your peace of mind. We do not have any cameras inside of the home, respecting our guests` privacy.

While staying with us, dogs must be crated when left alone, should not climb on furniture, and must not be left outside unattended. Owners are responsible for any damages caused.
