Lake Austin Waterfront Retreat - Hot Tub, SUP, WiFi, Dogs Welcome
WE ARE TAKING EXTRA PRECAUTIONS DISINFECTING OUR HOUSE IN LIGHT OF THE COVID-19 VIRUS.
Lake Austin waterfront is a great place to escape all year around. Lake Austin Retreat offers a beautiful Mexican style waterfront property with a boat dock, huge decks and a hot tub situated on a secluded bend of Lake Austin just 20 miles from downtown Austin. Relax, unwind, enjoy the stand up paddle boards, swim, canoe, kayak, bird-watch, fish, or enjoy a spa-treatment at nearby Lake Austin Spa.
The house accommodates 6 guests (if your group is larger than 6, please consider renting a neighbor's property which sleep's 6, in addition to ours - Homeaway Property # 7064882 or VRBO#3580000), and the spacious back yard offers an abundance of outdoor space for socializing, BBQ'n, playing or enjoying quiet hammock-time. Bring your boat and ski (boats can be moored at the dock but no boat lift is available), or lounge by the water's edge and drink in the view of the Golden Cheeked-Warbler habitat directly across the lake. You will love taking advantage of the most peaceful stretch of Lake Austin. Mornings are not to be missed. Grab your coffee or tea and watch the morning fog pull back revealing a glass-like surface that mirrors the rolling hills above. Just 35 Miles from the new F-1 Track in Austin, 20 miles from SXSW and ACL Festival.
The Activities: By Day - Canoeing, kayaking (life jackets and paddles provided), hiking, swimming, fishing, golfing, skiing and wakeboarding, bring your boat and moor it at the dock. You can canoe, kayak or walk 1/4 mile to the Lake Austin Spa for world-class spa services.
By Night - Dining, grilling, star-gazing or hitting the downtown or lakeside Austin nightlife.
Out of respect for our neighbors, we ask that only three cars be parked at our home and that our guests not use the HOA Boat Ramp and Park next door. The public boat ramp at Mary Quinlan Park is only 1/4 mile away and is much safer. There is also additional parking there for guests temporarily visiting during your stay.
In keeping with the local ordinances, we have a strict policy that forbids parties at our home.

Family Birthday Party for Wife
What a beautiful accommodation! Our family took over four different rental/VRBO's in the neighborhood for this occasion. We had children, nieces-nephews, and grandchildren flying in from West through East Coasts. This was a surprise party for my wife and the surprise was PERFECT! Obviously, we had a variety of properties to choose from to have dinner and lunch, but our daughter took one look at the terrific dining table, beautiful lawn, the wonderful boat dock, and numbers of indoor and outdoor tables to dine at and commanded, "This is THE place." The caretaker for the many properties was wonderful and supportive. We were not a rowdy group and treated the property as if it was our own. The kitchen is wonderful and the JILLION cd collection was a massive hit for everyone. My son, granddaughter, grandson, and son-in-law took off on the furnished kayaks and paddle boards and we wondered if they were every going to come back home! The furnished yard games were a super hit with the youngsters and oldsters. Thank you David for a spectacular reunion, birthday celebration, and family gathering. Highly recommended it for anyone wanting to enjoy a beautiful river setting.

Little Slice of Heaven on the River
Perfect lake house for those looking to unplug and enjoy the peaceful outdoors. We stayed here with our 2 boys and enjoyed fishing, paddle boarding and kayaking on the Colorado River. We spent many hours sitting on the dock enjoying the sounds of nature and the quiet. It is the most well stocked vrbo we have ever stayed in. From cooking spices to coffee to toilet paper and towels. This home had everything we needed. There was a grocery store 10 min down the road for any additional needs. The hot tub in the evenings was an added bonus. The VRBO owner was very responsive to any questions we had. We would recommend and stay here again.

Beautiful view of the river
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The host was very friendly and communicative. The view of the river was amazing. The kitchen was great to cook in. And the location was peaceful but close enough to drive to Austin for activities for the kids. Overall we really enjoyed our time there.

Wonderful relaxing lake home
Perfect location for a relaxing vacation with our daughter and SIL. Close enough to city for a night out but honestly spent majority of our time on the beautiful lake. House is clean and very well equipped and property was perfect. The upper deck provided us a great spot to spend the warm days. Will definitely look to return next year.
