About this property

Welcoming home overlooking lake with forested hill country views

  • A wonderful 2-story retreat on a secluded cove of Lake Travis with beautiful hill country views. Two large balconies overlooking the cove, and limestone steps going down to the lake. (Lake level fluctuates often; please ask!) Three bedrooms - master includes a Jacuzzi, walk-in shower, and private top-floor balcony overlooking the hill country. The open-plan kitchen/dining/living space walks out to the lower balcony with plenty of seating and a large grill.

    Head on down the beautiful limestone steps to the lake or a hiking area that leads to secret swimming when the lake is down. There is seating on multiple levels to relax, enjoy the nature around, and entertain family and friends. Enjoy a fire or a picnic on the patio just down from the house. Jump right in the water for a swim or paddle around in the canoe and kayak available when the cove is full.
    Then head back up to the balconies to watch the beautiful Texas sky. Enjoy the large record collection or watch your favorite movies on the 46" TV while cooking in the well-equipped and comfortable kitchen. The large, fenced-in front yard gives a nice contrast to the back area.
    Here, you get all the pleasures and relaxation of hill country living, but you're just a short drive from thriving Austin with its vibrant music scene and endless opportunities.
    *Note that Lake Travis fluctuates through the year depending on rainfall. Check current lake levels or reach out to find out the current level behind the house.

Everything was exactly as described, and the host made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. It was the perfect place to relax and get away for a bit.

Girls Trip

We rented this house for a girls weekend. It was absolutely perfect. From the porches and balconies, the beautiful aesthetics and multiple bathrooms to the spacious bedroom and living areas, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect house for our trip. The hosts were accommodating and responsive. If we ever plan a trip in Austin again, it would be a dream to experience the stay again.

Great stay

House was awesome. We had a family of 4 with plenty of room. House was clean with everything you needed. The stairs down to the lake was great exercise for the family. The lake was dried up to our advantage as the dogs had a blast and we also hiked the trails off the lake. Owners were very easy to contact and were very helpful to what ever we needed. Thanks George and Sam. We will definitely stay again when in town.

Mini Vacation

we decided to take the family on a mini vacation something different then the routine Destin trip. The property was very nice and quite. It was good taking time off to get away for a bit.The host was very helpful. the balcony was awesome plus outdoor grill. Regretfully the heat has dry out the cove but we were told in advance. Could not work the remote in the living room, internet would have been nice for the kids, other than that the house was well furnished . in all it was a nice stayed

Nice Stay!

We knew from the beginning that there would be no water for canoeing but we enjoyed the beautiful decks and views of the gorgeous sunrise every morning. As promised the kitchen was well outfitted and clean except for the oven. We also found baking sheets and bowls that needed rewashing, but no problem for us. The hosts left plenty of paper towels, kitchen towels, condiments and spices, and even a nice bottle of wine-all appreciated greatly. In the master bath, I would suggest placing an extra trash can in the toilet closet to make it easier for people to remember not to put anything in the toilet other than toilet paper. The master bed/bath is lovely and very large with lots of storage space and nice, new fluffy towels. The other bedrooms were fine as well, except the sleeping surface in the first bedroom was very, very hard. Thank you to our hosts for the extra mattress in the office space. We found our hosts to be very helpful and responsive to us. The home is perfect for a large family such as ours and we would definitely stay in this wonderful home again.

We had an absolutely amazing stay and can’t say enough wonderful things about this gorgeous waterfront home. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much care and attention had gone into every detail. The home was beautifully decorated, and exceptionally clean throughout.The setting itself is breathtaking—right on the water, offering a peaceful, almost magical escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. With 2 balconies overlooking the property, to take in the views, unwind in complete tranquility.We loved the outdoor amenities, including the fire pit and seperate BBQ area, which made evenings outside incredibly relaxing and memorable. The rental also came with canoes, which was such a fantastic bonus and made it even more special to get out on the water and explore.Inside, everything was equally impressive. The home is thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need, and the personal touches made us feel genuinely welcomed. The bedrooms are beautiful and comfortable, especially the master suite w/ its spa-like bathroom featuring a jetted tub—perfect for unwinding after a long day.Communication was excellent throughout our stay as well. Whenever we had a question, the hosts were incredibly responsive, helpful, and accommodating, which made everything smooth and stress-free.Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. We would highly recommend this waterfront retreat to anyone looking for a comfortable, beautiful, and truly memorable getaway.
