Independent in West Austin from NZ$227

"The Mountain Star Lodge is a nature lovers' oasis nestled in the midst of a bustling Austin suburb. The lodge is set back from the road, on a hilltop overlooking a lush green valley full of birds and othe lical wildlife. The accomodations are rustic, but clean and spacious. The small kitchenette was an added bonus. The setting is quiet and peaceful, while being just a couple minutes from upscale shopping, entertainment, and offices. The proprietor "Sonny" was friendly and accomodating. If our travels bring us to the Bee Cave/Dripping Springs area again, we would definitely stay here again."

"Great property!"

"The hotel was clean and staff were friendly"

"Great stay. My only concern was that I was charged incorrectly at checkout and told that it would take 5-7 days to give me my money back, “depending on my bank” which seemed to imply this was my fault. I don’t know why they couldn’t charge me correctly in the first place, it wasn’t a complicated stay with lots of charges. Otherwise, very happy."

"Excellent lake view! Easy check in process and great communication from host. "

"David is a gracious and responsive host! He gave a personal tour of the property upon our arrival which was very helpful. The property is beautifully appointed and VERY WELL EQUIPPED! As a group of 17, we had plenty of dishes, towels, toiletries, etc. The lower level game room was fabulous! We had a few brief showers during our stay so we made good use of that space (with 7 kids-it saved the day!) But, the highlight of our stay was the outdoor space. Pool, hot tub, "treehouse", pickle ball, kayaks, fishing, volleyball, etc. No one was ever without something to do! We had a great night making pizzas in the outdoor pizza oven and spent alot of time in the pavilion which has plenty of fans to keep you cool! I cannot say enough about how wonderful our weekend was at Camp Sandy!"

"It was a great time, the property was amazing. It had everything we needed, we really didn’t need to leave!"

"This little house was located on "On the Lake Road" in Lake Austin Village. This older home was perfect for a get-away weekend. Inside, the rooms were comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked and the one bathroom was updated. The back porch has a jacuzzi, and the top deck on the dock had perfect views of the Colorado river and sunset every night. The backyard is fenced so kids & pups can play. There is easy access to the water with plenty of things to do including kayaks, paddleboards and other toys to enjoy the waterfront. The dock gives easy access for loading & unloading onto a boat. On this weekend, there were neighbor's boats in the 2 dock slips and thus, not available to store our boat at the dock overnight. We launched our boat off the trailer each day. Luckily, the Quinlan Park public boat ramp was only a few blocks away. Quick note on the driveway... it is tight and there are cars that park along the road in front of the house which made backing a boat trailer into the driveway challenging. Be sure to arrive during the day so you have good light to manage the driveway, if you have a trailer. Lake Austin was a busy place on the weekend, and there were boats up & down the river all day. The water and the lake front properties were absolutely beautiful. All in all, this was a perfect way to end the summer on a boat and at the lake. Thank you, David, you were an awesome host. "

"Here’s a polished review you could post for Shannon and the property:---We truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The location was perfect, the pool was a great bonus, and the space was ideal for relaxing and spending time together. While a few things didn’t go exactly as planned, Shannon went above and beyond to make it right and ensure we were comfortable. Their kindness, quick responses, and extra touches really made a difference. We appreciate the effort put into accommodating us and would recommend this home for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway near Lake Travis."
