Belton Lake views, large patio, pool table! 3 bed,2 bath with 4th bedroom option

Welcome to Owl Creek Hideaway - a hidden gem with breathtaking views of Belton Lake!

Our property sits on the cliff with a little over half an acre overlooking the lake. It is located in a remote rural area that is developing. The home is newly updated and completely furnished with all that you will need. During the day, you can enjoy the views or access Belton Lake through various parks throughout the season. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking appliances and spices. The living space is perfect for relaxation or playing board games provided. In the evening, you can grab a blanket to cozy up by the fireplace outside on the patio.

Whatever you choose to do, we are sure you will feel right at home!

******************

NOTE: This home comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests. It does NOT include the 4th bedroom. For extra parties, the guest house with a 4th bedroom and full bathroom is available for an additional cost of $125/night + a one time $65 clean fee. Please message us prior to booking if you and your guests are interested in securing this space.

Other important items to note prior to your stay:


Owl Creek Hideaway is tucked away on the north side of Belton Lake. Due to our slightly remote location, the wifi signal can be weak from time to time.

As the property is on a cliff and not fully fenced in, please take caution especially with pets and younger children. We do not have lake access and highly discourage exploring beyond the cliff as the terrain is unpredictable and unsafe.

In addition, wildlife, snakes and insects (spiders, wasps, bees, flies, mosquitos, gnats) are very common in the area since we are near water and trees- especially during the summertime. We do have our home treated consistently through the year to help reduce the incidence of bugs, but are unable to control the natural elements surrounding the home. We ask that guests be vigilant by keeping doors closed, food covered and trash picked up as we will not be responsible for any injuries during your stay.

We do provide life jackets along with a SUP board, a kayak, and some inflatables. Do ensure that equipment is strapped down properly when transporting - you will be response for any damage. Use these at your own risk and only when weather conditions permit.

**DUE TO THE DROUGHT, LAKE LEVELS ARE EXTREMELY LOW AND MAY NOT BE ACCESSIBLE. PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND PRIOR TO YOUR ARRIVAL. You can check the state site for updates on park closures.

Our first and foremost priority is your safety. Please do not disregard these items when booking our space.

Awesome view of the Lake

We had 3 couples and 1 single person so we rented the extra guest cottage and we were all very comfortable. There was plenty of parking. The kitchen was well equipped. The house has a big view of the lake and it is mostly undeveloped as far as the view you have from the house. So, you get the feeling it is all yours to enjoy.

Family Thanksgiving

We needed a place for family from Austin to meet us 1/2 way for Thanksgiving. This house worked perfectly. The view of the lake was very peaceful and we enjoyed sitting outside by the fireplace. The house is very clean, stylish decor and comfortable. We hope to be able to have another Thanksgiving there next year.

Perfectly peaceful

My friend and I needed to get away- a quiet place to grasp some hard times we have been through. The back porch in this home was nothing short of perfect. The beds were some of the most comfortable I have ever slept in that I will book again just to have a nights sleep like the last 2 I have had. It isnā€™t close to much so shop before you go but that is the point!

Unknown secret in hill country

We did a last-minute reservation for this property last weekend. The property was represented exactly how it is on VRBO including view and sunsets. We had everything we needed and a lot more than we expected. The home is beautifully decorated, including the outdoor patio which has a pergola, grill, and fire place. Every detail is just well done. The owner is communicative and is very well organized. We loved our short stay!

Beautiful view

The property is very cozy and clean with a great view. If i could make a couple of suggestions, replace the furniture as it is hard to set in and very uncomfortable. Secondly, area rugs should have backing or done away with as they are slick and present a slip hazard. Couldn't get hot water to work in main bathroom. Just a few tweeks it will be perfect! Beds were incredibly comfortable!! Thank you for the use of your property!!

Directions and check-in instructions were very good.As a couple and needing to go into town, its very isolated. The spiders are not exaggerated, I wiped them out and after dinner they came back in force the fire pit at night was great and very peaceful to end the evening. Advice: have everything you need before you settle in, the drive to the closest store is about 15 minutes. They do not provide any way to create ice cubes so bring or you'll have to get creative (we used a disposable tupperware night one).

Beautiful Lake View & Home

The view of the lake is incredible! It was so relaxing to sit on the porch and enjoy the calm. The house was clean and well stocked with whatever we needed. Pots, pans, utensils, dishes and the best coffee pot weā€™ve had at a VRBO. The home was comfortable and had great feel. Like most lake homes, the surrounding neighborhood doesnā€™t always match the type of house you are headed to. We never felt unsafe and all of the neighbors we passed were very friendly. 10/10 recommend! Thank you for the great experience

Scary Area

I would have given this place a better overall rating if the area hadnā€™t been so sketchy. The house was adorable and clean, I didnā€™t have any problems with that at all. Whatā€™s not mentioned in the listing is that this house sits in the middle of an area where we didnā€™t feel safe. Some of the windows didnā€™t lock and the back double doors could have easily been broken into. The host was very easy to contact and was always prompt in responding to questions.
