Beautiful view and accommodations, comfy beds, great water pressure, tankless water heater, full washer and dryer, plenty of plates/cups/bowls. Pool was refreshing. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out, play table games and still feel connected. Note the driveway is very steep and stairs are required to enter/exit. Would recommend.

We were looking for a place to stay to decompress after a busy Formula 1 race weekend and this home fit the bill perfectly. The home itself is clean, modern and beautifully laid out. The location is very quiet and all the deer around the area were a nice surprise to see. Everything from booking to check out went extremely smoothly and we had no complaints whatsoever.

Girls Weekend

Overall, this was an AMAZING venue. The open concept, the deck, the patio, the pool, the little swing. Everything was exactly as advertised and the perfect venue for our weekend getaway for recharging. The beds were also very comfortable. Everything was clean, minus a slight smell on the stairwell that the owner was immediately responsive to. Would definitely stay here again. Be advised that the driveway is slightly steep and both Apple and Google Maps overshoot the property during turn by turn directions.

Haseeb, I'm so glad you enjoyed your girls weekend at the lake house. Thank you again for alerting me to the smell in the stairwell. The house is only 4 months old so I immediately called our builder and he's going to trouble shoot the issue. Elizabeth

Breathtaking

We had an extended family get-together, including 7 kids. The house is gorgeous with all the amenities you can ask for. It is an amazing modern build with an incredible view of the lake and incredible sunsets in the evening. The deck on the second floor was perfect to have the morning coffee and wind down in the evenings with a beer. The bottom floor is mainly for the kids, and nice to isolate them away from the adults upstairs. We were very appreciative of the owners. They helped us get into their house quickly, as we had to get out of a disastrous rental elsewhere on the lake. We feel very fortunate to have found this house.

About the host

Hosted by Steven and Elizabeth Bricker

Host profile image
The Brickers have always loved modern architecture. After having spent multiple vacations visiting the hill country with other families and making great memories, they decided to build a dream vacation rental of their own. Rather than take the traditional approach, they engaged an award-winning architect, Murphy Mears to achieve a modern aesthetic and incorporate things they wished were in a short term rental but have never seen (such as two master bedrooms). The schematic design and site plan were developed with consideration for the specific property, topography, and views. They even used a drone to identify the best placement for the living space and upper terrace! The Brickers love Lake Travis and the City of Lago Vista which offers tranquility and access to the lake combined with the proximity to Austin, the Domain and tons of great hikes and adventures. The Brickers are thrilled to share our home with other families to make amazing memories.
