***If you are bringing a boat, there is a boat ramp nearby. We will need the license plate, make and model for the allotted 2 vehicles allowed, and then we will send you the passes to access the boat ramp. We have to go through the city, so we need at least 3 weeks notice to ensure your passes arrive on time.
We have several primary rules: 1) We do not allow loud outdoor music after 10pm due to Lago Vista noise ordinance 2) Fireworks are not allowed per city ordinance. 3) Parking is not allowed on the street per city ordinance. There is parking behind the house and parking in the front circular driveway. 4) Groups that misrepresent the nature or size of their party will be asked to leave. We monitor exterior noise levels to ensure that your group complies with the rules.
Guests will have access to the entire 10 acres including the 4 main house living suites, the guest house, laundry room, pool, entire private cove on the lake, and the boat dock. We have parking for about ~25 cars between the circular drive in the front and in our back parking lot.
THE LOCATION
The property is right on the water with your own expansive lakefront yard, private cove and much more. Please be advised the water levels fluctuate on Lake Travis which can sometimes make accessing the dock more difficult temporarily. Our team works very hard to adjust the dock and its access each week to make it as safe/easy as possible to utilize. You'll have the comforts of home with a supply of paper products, toiletries, towels and linens. We make it personal to stay with us! We’re available 24 hours a day to help. We follow local/state tax rules. Each reservation includes applicable taxes and cleaning fee.

I cannot say enough good things about the estate! It was absolutely stunning and the perfect place for our wedding party to hang out and relax. Dillon and his team were super responsive whenever we reached out. Truly an 11/10 stay.

Had a fantastic time at the house, it really had everything we needed.
My only nit pick is to add some signs since there are so many doors that it's easy to get lost!

Great property for extended family. Everyone was able to have their own space but the common areas are big enough to accommodate our large group. Will definitely stay again!

This property is amazing! There are several things to do. My family and I loved the location and the property. We had about 35 people ranging from different ages and everyone had a great time. No issues with sleeping and the kids has a blast in the game room. The host was easy to reach and accommodating.

The property is great for large family/work getaway. The property was described perfectly and was excellent. Lake levels are terrible right now but that is the only thing that we would have done better redearch on prior to coming using the water for relaxation.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this property.

The house was everything I expected and more. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Perfect place for large families. The icing on the cake was the BBQ Pit that I used on Sunday.

We held a business review meeting in the house with 16 people, plenty of room for everyone. The grounds and house were perfect, exactly as described and very clean. The location could not be better, I will definitely rent this house again.

There were 37 of us and we had a blast. We spent the day in the pool and lake, enjoying the kayaks and paddle board. Even though the lake was very low, we had a great time. We had room for yard games, card games and a talent show. The communication with the property manager was great and we hope to return next year. A very relaxing time and the view and sunsets were beautiful.

We had a few friends that just wanted to get away for the weekend and this place was just the right spot. It's private cove was so delightful on a busy weekend. We had a few mishaps like the dishwasher quirks but the management company was quick to respond. We would have liked to have the check in/out times different on Holiday weekends so you can enjoy the water more, and not get charged for every hour extended. The boat and some of the floats were great add to the weekend, highly recommend that to you. Overall, a great place to hangout and relax.

We were disappointed with the bedrooms
The property listed 11 bedrooms but it really is only 9
We were not able to go out on the grass as it was loaded with grass burrs, and they really hurt
There were no umbrellas around the pool for shade so the pool was only useable in the morning and evening

Our family of adults, teens, children and toddlers all had a wonderful time on this property! Plenty of fun things to do between the pool, lake and massive yard. Plenty of space for our little ones to have quite naps, and or to have a quite place to reflect or have a private conversation. Our family loved it and plan to look into returning next year or exploring your other properties. We had a few maintenance issues in the kitchen, but we appreciate Sarah’s prompt response to any questions or concerns that we had. Thumbs up and will recommend to others!!!

The property is beautiful and big very spacious house. It was a little old, but still clean with a little wear and tear.. my issue the first night we could not get the house to warm up. It would only warm up to 67 when it’s an older house with a lot of draft.. I did try to call the property manager. They didn’t answer so we freeze all night because there was no blankets in the house with the exception of the very thin bed covers.The next day they did bring us a few heaters and I found out that they had controlled the heat and said it to max out at 67. They upped it and allowed me to have it up to 70 which again it was probably in the 30s and a lot of draft in the house so even 70 wasn’t keeping some of the spots warm..So I appreciated that they brought the heaters so I plugged in the heater in the master bedroom and then the circuit breaker goes off couldn’t find the circuit breaker to turn it back on. Tried all the plugs to see if I could turn it on there. nothing worked so again froze that night too.Very disappointing.

We had our wedding here on the property. The house and property are beautiful. We had enough room for everyone to be comfortable and not feel on top of each other. The pictures and description are accurate.
Communication was definitely lacking prior to checkin. I had a couple questions about extra charges and house details and found the responses to be minimal if I received a response at all. It also would have been nice to have a notebook or a how-to guide for the house since it’s so big and has some quirks.

We recently had our first-ever family reunion in Austin, TX, and chose a beautiful VRBO property to accommodate our large group of over 30 family members. I’m thrilled to say that it exceeded all our expectations!
The layout of the house was ideal for our diverse group. With ample space to spread out, everyone had their own little corner to relax and unwind. The adults particularly appreciated the expansive living areas where we could gather for meals, share stories, and enjoy each other’s company without feeling cramped.
The pool was an absolute hit! The kids spent countless hours splashing around and playing games, while the adults enjoyed lounging by the water and soaking up the Texas sun. It was the perfect way to keep everyone entertained and cool during the hot afternoons.
One of the highlights of our stay was the game quarters. This separate space was a fantastic spot for late-night fun after the elders had retired for the night. We played pool, ping-pong, and even had some intense card games that went on for hours. It provided a great atmosphere for bonding and creating lasting memories.
The property itself was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The host was responsive and helpful, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a successful reunion.
All in all, this VRBO in Austin was the perfect setting for our family gathering.

I had my wedding at this property and my friends and family stayed at the house. Unfortunately my nephew left his necklace behind at the house after we checked out. The property manager, Robert, confirmed on 10/6 they had located the necklace and would mail it back to me. I agreed to pay shipping costs. I haven’t heard from Robert or received any type of update since then. The necklace is a family heirloom and my nephew is distraught. We understand we shouldn’t have left it behind but we were told the necklace would be mailed back to us. We’re extremely disappointed with how this experience ended for us. I’ve messaged on the app and messaged their direct number. I’m not sure if they’ve just blocked me at this point because I’ve received no response after multiple follow ups. I’m willing to revise or rescind this review if we receive an update on the necklace. We just want the necklace returned.

As far as location and place, it was a wonderful area and they got back to me as soon as they could for any questions we had! However we are very disappointed with the overall situation. We do have to say it is very false advertising and does not sleep anywhere near to 40 people. Unfortunately during the time of our stay more than half our group got Covid and could not attend. We’re talking over 20 people that did not make it. We asked for a refund which they declined due to it being so close to our stay which we understood and had no problem with. We then asked if we could postpone our visit for a different weekend and they were not accommodating unless we had paid additional money. It was already very expensive to begin with. Because of this only 14 people got to go out of roughly 36. We were supposed to stay Thursday to Monday and only went Friday to Monday. Did not get refunded for that night. The actual house itself is extremely small to consider anywhere near 40 people as advertised. The 14 people that did go fit comfortably and a couple more would have worked but anything more than about 17 people would have been a disaster. The living rooms also do not fit the entire group so if we had all gone we would have been split the entire time because of the lack of seating. They charged for any additional things we wanted which we ended up opting out of. They wanted extra money each day to have the pool heated, any additional hour to check in early or check out late was an extra 100$ per hour. The check in and check out times are already ridiculous. Check in is after 5pm and check out before 10am. We asked about getting the fire pit turned on and they said it was never reconnected after their remodeling so we did not even get to use that. The house is old and a few things such as the kitchen were remodeled but not everything in the house. The outdoors of this place is really what saved us and thankfully weather was great. We spent most our time outside and it truly was a beautiful area! But other than the outdoor space, it is not worth the money and will not sleep even half the amount of people as advertised.

We spent our annual Thanksgiving family reunion week at the Estate on Lake Travis. It was a great week. We've been doing these reunions since 1991 and there were several comments that this was one of the best. The accommodations were great and allowed everyone to come together or spread out if needed. The pool and boat house fishing dock were a big hit. The morning and evening visits with the deer were enjoyed by all. Overall we enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend the property. We are even discussing coming back next year as well.

We hosted our annual company appreciation event here. As our company has grown, it has gotten harder and harder to find a venue that sleeps enough people and still has the amenities the families enjoy. This location was well suited to our needs. The kids always enjoy a pool. This location has a game room with ping pong, old fashion arcades, etc. that was well used. We also tuned in a pay per view fight in the game room and most of the team watched.
We always try to do team building exercises as this is a company outing and the large back yard area worked well for what we needed.
Yes, the lake is down so it is a hike to the water, but we still had employees go down there. Most just stayed up top and enjoyed the deer population that is abundant.
All houses like this utilize a lot of bunk beds to get the "sleeps number" up... so you need to pay attention to who you bunk together. This place had mostly queen bunks which is so much nicer than the regular single bunks we've seen at other venues. And having 10 bedrooms was nice for privacy. We didn't have to use the sleeper sofas... but the murphy bed in the game room did come in handy.
From the outside, the buildings are not impressive... but nice remodeling made the interiors very comfortable.
Lago Vista's noise ordinance is an inconvenience when you have a large group, but there is enough indoor common area to allow people to socialize into the later hours.
I believe everyone in our group enjoyed the space. Thanks.

This property is everything you hope it would be. The check in process was easy, the host was easy to communicate with and the house was very clean. It’s also worth noting that the air conditioning in the house is EXCELLENT which is surprising with a house this large. Would 100 percent stay again. 11 out of 10!

From the very start, Robert was very helpful. He responded to me in a timely manner and made sure we were all set for our arrival. Even during our stay, the team messaged me to ensure everything was fine.
The property was PERFECT for our large family. Plenty of parking, lots of bedrooms and bathrooms and plenty of space for everyone without being crowded. The check in process was easy and the house looked like the photos and was clean when we arrived. The house was also stocked with towels and paper towel and toilet paper. We enjoyed the pool everyday and although water level is low due to the drought down at the boat dock, we were still able to get our boat rental and jet skis in. The stairs are a little steep walking down to the dock but it was fine for all of us who went, even the kids. We loved that we had access to the laundry room and were able to wash towels and clothes as needed. The main kitchen was fully stocked with all the basic necessities and we loved that there were double the appliances and sinks. The huge charcoal grill was a challenge for us at first since we've never used one like that but it worked out once we got the hang of it. And with the Texas heat, I will have to say the AC was working great during our trip and we enjoyed our time inside as much as outside.
We will definitely stay here again if we have another family trip to this area. Thank you Robert and team for helping us make great memories!
