Fantastic getaway. A+ Host

We were a group of 9 which included 4 kids under 12. The property was extremely clean with plenty of supplies. Bedding, towels were soft and comfortable. Everything that was described was there and our stay exceeded our expectations. There is a large deck you can sit and enjoy the view from, Although we were there for a family get together and did not go to the lake, location is mins away from Lake Travis. Host was very helpful and was in contact through out the trip. Our kids had a blast and complimented how comfortable everything was. Greatly recommend A++

Why they chose this property

This beautiful Austin property gives guests the entire austin experience - head into town to kayak lady bird lake and lunch in SoCo, then enjoy the short drive through the hills and cliffs back home to this property where you can feel as secluded as you'd like. Take in the hills and valleys from the back deck as the sun goes down or comes up. You are 10 minutes from The Oasis for some breathtaking views of Lake Travis. Rent a boat and cruise Lake Austin - everything is within minutes from this home!

What makes this property unique

Close to downtown Austin, Lake Travis, Lake Austin, Hill Country Wineries, Lakeway, The Oasis - everything! Into hiking or biking? This is the spot! Close to all the spots to hike (Pace Bend, Emma Long, Turkey Creek, Walnut Creek). Bringing a boat? Launch at multiple public boat ramps and enjoy the crisp, clear water! Need to rent a boat? Ask me for a recommendation! Lake Austin is the hot spot for surfing and wakeboarding!
