About this property

Romantic getaway! Or bring the family to tour the Texas Hill Country!

This impressive villa built in 2021 is perfect for a family or small group and features expansive outdoor spaces for enjoying a walk in the pasture, hiking 10 acres of wildlife preserve, or enjoying relaxing amenities such as a covered patio area and fire pit. Steps lead direct into Lake Travis for swimming and boating fun! (dependent on lake levels)

This home is located in the heart of Hill Country, in Spicewood, close to an array of local wineries, Texas-style dining, and natural springs..

Antique touches and old Spanish design combine in this beautiful home. Tile floors are found throughout the home with ornate wrought iron railings, chandeliers, and other vintage touches. Vaulted ceilings and oversized floor-to-ceiling windows invite plenty of natural light, expansive Hill Country views, and a feeling of serenity and peace. Don't be surprised to see deer, hawks, rabbits, and a variety of bird species thriving throughout the property.

After dinner, unwind in front of 65" Visio smart television with your favorite streaming services on the expansive sofa and two armchairs.

The covered outdoor living area sits behind beautiful twenty foot stone columns that invite your eyes upward and across the Hill Country views. Plenty of wrought iron furniture and coffee tables makes this a perfect spot to just relax with family or enjoy a glass of wine.

The home sleeps six in total. The loft bedroom overlooks the living room and includes a king bed with dedicated bathroom, closet, and 2-person desk for your laptop, remote workspace, or card games.

The living room hosts four individual bunk beds (Twin XL) that tuck into the wall behind hand-made, sliding barn doors. Each individual bunk features a reading light and charging outlet for your phone, with viewing access to the large television across the room.

The kitchen features a full set of modern appliances and granite countertops mixed with old European furniture pieces and hand-painted Spanish tile backsplash. A 32" television with FireTV entertains in the kitchen area while you or and enjoy a meal on the island barstools. USB phone chargers are located right on the kitchen island for your convenience.

The walk-in pantry is located right off the kitchen and features a washer and dryer.

A shared bathroom downstairs has a tile walk-in shower, a large floor-to-ceiling window provides views to the deer walking outside, and plenty of room to get ready for the day.

To really understand the beauty that is the Texas Hill Country, you must stop by and see Krause Springs (10-minute drive). An unforgettable, family owned and run outdoor adventure where you can explore 32 natural springs, swimming holes, trails, waterfalls, and more. Coolers are welcome in this perfect picnic atmosphere. Check out KrauseSprings.net.

As night falls, head over to the fire pit to enjoy some smores or roast marshmallows. Then stretch out and gaze up at the stars. Far from any city lights impeding your view here, there is so much to see high above!

For a dinner out, check out Opie's Barbeque (10-minute drive), J5 Steakhouse, or Cosa Nostra Pizza (both 15 minutes). Or for a unique experience, try Apis Restaurant and Apiary (10 minutes) -- their honey is made right in the back yard. A 25 minute drive into Marble Falls or Bee Caves offers even more selection possibilities.

Local wineries include Stone House Vineyards (3 minutes down the road), Spicewood Vineyards, McReynolds Winery, Stone House Vineyard, Flat Creek Estate Winery and Vineyard, El Gaucho Winery, Westcave Cellars Winery, and more. All are between 10 to 50 minutes away by car. Iron Wolf Ranch and Distillery (15 minute drive) offers an expansive Hill Country experience for live music, spirit tastings, CraigO’s Pizza and more!

Enjoy a day on Lake Travis. The nearby Resort Ranch Marina will deliver a rental boat for you right to the base of our lake steps (lake level dependent).

Guest access:
You have full access to the living quarters in the villa. The attached garage is closed to guests. You are welcome to hike and explore the 10-acres of property on the north side of the driveway.

Other things to note:
Please note that as of June 1st, 2022 the lake levels are extremely low. Lake Travis is not accessible from our steps at this time (very muddy).

Pictures don’t do it justice
The villa was absolutely beautiful, the huge windows brought in a tons of natural light. The views were breathtaking. We were looking for a relaxing week away from the busy day to day life and we got exactly that. Paul and Shari were fabulous hosts and we enjoyed the privacy we were extended. The house was immaculate upon arriving, and we got to see a few of the little creatures that lived there. 10/10

About the host

Hosted by Paul & Shari

Host profile image
Our family has lived on this land on Lake Travis for over 100 years. We designed and built this Villa ourselves, with many unique touches throughout the property to make every stay a very memorable one for our guests!

Why they chose this property

Much of the year our Villa is reserved for visiting family and friends. We are happy that with this platform we can also share it with others who are also in need of a getaway and place to stay!

What makes this property unique

Being just outside of Austin gives our guests access to the airport, downtown, music festivals, shopping, F1 racetrack, and more - but with enough separation to "disconnect" and truly "rest" in a very quiet and private setting by the lake. You won't hear any cars honking, sirens, or really anything out here -- except for the wildlife! And if you want to further explore, the Texas Hill Country awaits! Stone House Vineyard is a 3 minute drive and Krause Springs is just 10 minutes away!
