Shiraz Haus: Lakefront villa on vineyard, 45 mins from Downtown Austin

Shiraz Haus Unit B

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Tucked on a lakefront family vineyard, this 2BR villa in Hill Country offers lake views from an open concept gathering space and large deck. Launch into Lake Travis from the onsite boat dock or drive 45 minutes to explore downtown Austin.

Bask in sunshine and lake views in the open concept gathering space, where tall picture windows bring the outside in, elegant hardwood floors add style, and vaulted ceilings create a sense of airiness. Unwind in comfortable sofa and chair seating in the living room, where a flat-screen TV is equipped with DirecTV and a DVD player -- bring your favorite flick or choose from our selection. Adjacent, the sunny dining space has a wood table for family-style meals. Uncork a bottle of wine while dinner simmers at the breakfast bar. Outfitted with stainless steel appliances and wood cabinetry, the kitchen is designed to keep the chef in tune with conversation. There’s no oven here, but we provide a convection oven for your convenience. Get some fresh air on the lake-view deck, where you can sit down for meals at the dining table for seven or sip your morning coffee in a quiet lounge area.

Down the hallway, you’ll find both bedrooms and a shared bathroom with stone-tiled standing shower. The main bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed and a stately dark wood dresser, and the second bedroom features a twin-over-queen bunk bed.

There are plenty of ways to spend the day without even leaving your Hill Country rental. Wander between rows of grapes in the vineyard, or cool off on the lake by boating, jet skiing, sailing or just floating the afternoon away. We are on one of the deepest coves of Lake Travis -- the water is currently 45-feet deep below our boat dock. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, drive 13 minutes to Gnarly Gar, a floating restaurant where you can feed the fish while enjoying mouthwatering burgers and tacos. Fuel up in the morning with breakfast tacos at Deedee’s, a 7-minute drive away. Head to Marble Falls to pick up a bottle of wine at Flat Creek Estate (15 minutes by car), or a bundle of berries at pick-your-own Sweet Berry Farms (a 30-minute drive away). If you’re looking for something a little more high energy, downtown Austin is just a 45-minute drive from your rental. Taste test your way around well-regarded bars and restaurants, catch a set or two of live music, and be sure to visit the historic Texas Capitol.

Our stay

The place was pleasant. The view was very very nice. The place was clean. The only problem is the water smelled real bad so we could not drink it or bathe in it. Besides the water everything else was great with this being on a winery I did expect to have some wine or for them to have some wine which they did not

Lovely place!

Beautiful views, serene vineyard setting. Access to the lake a challenge - steep, 160 steps to the dock - was physically challenging - so berated if you want to be in the water.

Perfectly adécuate.

We loved the patio specifically the view in the morning of the lake. The beds were very comfy! Waking up in the morning next to the vineyard, with the sun rising and the light coming into the whole unit was the icing in top!

Great place but had issues

At first we thought the house looked. Which it did on the surface. But as time went on we realized it wasn’t that clean. The dishes in the cabinet were dirty. The blinds that face the owners house were broken so we couldn’t close them. We felt like he could watch us through the windows. All together we saw 4 roly-poly‘s, 3 spiders and a scorpion. We know we’re by the lake and some of that is understandable. But it felt like the house had never been sprayed. Beautiful location just needs some attention to detail.

Great view, ZERO kitchen supplies, Dangerous Access to Lake

great spot if you want to just hang on the balcony and enjoy the view and the peace and quiet. it's cute unit in a quaint set up. If you want direct lake access be prepared to risk your life on the 100 foot long rickety metal stairway with patchy railings. THe kitchen has zero supplies like spices, even salt or any food storage options.

Lake living

We had a lovely time at Shiraz Haus - we boat on Lake Travis often, so are familiar with the cove. The dock was great for swimming and fishing. I loved the large balcony for relaxing in the evening. This cove is deep enough for boats/swimming even with the current low lake levels. This means that the stairs to the dock are long, but that should be expected.

Awesome lake retreat

This place was great. With very awesome views, and the silence of just being away, was a breath of fresh air. Highly recommend to anyone. We will come back here again

Lost Jewelry

I lost a diamond earring, this is an heirloom piece given to me from my 100 year old grandmother. Can you please contact the owner or message me his contact. If he happens to find it I want to make sure he has a way to contact me. Please respond to this message. Thank you.

We love this property. Location and the view of the lake is amazing.

This was our second visit and we enjoyed it. Property is well kept. Boat dock is in excellent condition with dock fenders and bumpers and 3 boat slips. Two of the slips were used by the owner's boats and one was avaible for use on first come first serve basis. Side of the dock can also be used to safely tie your boat to the dock without worry of damage since the property is located in a very quiet very low boat traffic cove in no wake zone. Stairs (70+ steps) down to dock can be challenging for someone older or with disability. We didn't have any issue and plan to return.

Beautiful property and terrible management company

The property is beautiful: a vineyard on the lake. The owner was there the weekend we stayed and he was just delightful. We did have a non-functioning only toilet for part of the stay. The owner had to fix it (thank goodness he was there) as Turnkey said they would arrive before “six pm.” This happened twice during the stay. After we left the management company said they fixed the issue therefore there was “nothing they could do.” We left early because we did not have a toilet to use. Again, delightful property. Management company needs a tune-up.

Shiraz Haus - August 2021

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is situated in a very beautiful spot on Lake Travis. The scenery is nothing short of spectacular. The home itself had many issues during my stay. The home was up to cleaning standards I have experienced at other Turnkey properties. There was hair (human and pet) on the area rug in spaces where it was clear the vacuum had missed. Sticky substances were stuck on the kitchen cabinets. The home is overall in need of a deep clean, as many of the fixtures, fans and artworks on walls are covered in dust and cobwebs. I was there for 11 nights, and on the last 4 nights guests in the adjacent unit had arrived and were completely disrespectful of the rules and guidelines on noise. There is high noise transfer between the units, so if you have loud neighbors you will hear them very clearly. This property is in a remote location and on the 4th and final night I had to contact the property management because the neighbors were intoxicated and I did not feel comfortable addressing the yelling and loud music. A lot of potential for a great experience, and falls short on several points.
