About this property

Tiny Waterfront Cabin w Dock, Kayak, SUPs sleeps 7

Escape to this romantic and newly renovated (2021) modern cabin nestled in a quiet lakeside cove near Marble Falls—just 17 minutes past Lago Vista and 5 minutes from Flat Creek Winery. Tucked away on 1.75 peaceful acres, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath getaway is perfect for couples, solo travelers, or a small family looking to unwind and recharge.

🌲 Tranquility Meets Comfort
Our 640 sq ft cabin may be compact, but it’s thoughtfully designed with everything you need:

Full kitchen with electric stove, convection oven, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher
Complimentary coffee + tea
Washer & dryer
Cozy indoor seating and modern finishes
Santa Maria live-fire grill for outdoor cooking adventures

🛏 Please note: While there are two bedrooms, the cabin is ideal for 2–4 guests max.
KING BED
TWO TWIN BUNKS (Sleeps 4)
Couch (pull out sofa does not work).

🐾 Dog-Friendly (1 dog max)
Bring your pup! We're happy to host well-behaved dogs. Please note there is no fence, and we’re on a quiet dirt road in a private, friendly lakeside community.

No parties, please. Quiet hours are strictly enforced (10PM–6AM).

🔥 Fire Pit Under the Stars
Cozy up by the fire pit and take in the night sky—just bring your own wood and check for burn bans before lighting up.

💧 About the Water
The cabin is on well water sourced from a local quarry, so you may notice a mild sulfur smell—it’s completely safe. For the best-tasting drinking water, a filtered pitcher is provided in the fridge. Also to keep the sulfur smell at bay, the water heater is turned up so please be careful when using hot water. There are signs posted for caution.

🌊 Lake Life & Amenities
Take full advantage of our dock, kayak, and 2 stand-up paddleboards.
🚫 Note: The boat and jet ski are off-limits.
🚫 Absolutely no diving from the top deck of the dock—doing so will result in immediate termination of your reservation. Safety first!

🛻 Getting Around
You’ll need a car to reach the property. The cabin is located at the end of a dirt road, and while everything on the property is walkable, there’s a gentle uphill slope from the lake—best suited for guests in reasonably good physical condition.

We’d love to host you at our peaceful lakeside retreat.
Guests have access to the entire property except the non-occupied RV parked in the driveway.

Discover the perfect retreat just 17 minutes from the nearest store, offering groceries and Starbucks in Lago Vista. Adventure awaits for Jeep and off-road enthusiasts with Hidden Falls Adventure Park just a 15-minute drive away, providing over 2000 acres of exhilarating off-roading fun. This cabin accommodates off-road families with ample parking for 4 vehicles and easy access to ATV/UTV, dirt bike rentals.

Nature lovers can explore the nearby Balcones Canyonland Wildlife Refuge for a scenic hike, only a few minutes away. If you're in town for festivals like Lago Fest or La Primavera in Lago Vista, this location is perfect. Stay tuned for the exciting opening of a new brewery in the area.

For those craving more urban experiences, Cedar Park is a 30-minute drive in one direction, while Marble Falls is just 30 minutes away in the other direction. Both locations boast fantastic restaurants and large grocery stores. Whether you're seeking off-road thrills, nature adventures, or city escapes, bookmark this listing for your next getaway!

We’re thrilled to share that the property is officially waterfront once again! Guests can enjoy serene lake views and the peaceful atmosphere that makes Lakeside Drive such a special place.
Please note: While lake access has returned, we encourage all guests visiting during July to check local sources for current water safety updates due to recent flooding. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, please refer to the LCRA website (Lower Colorado River Authority), which oversees conditions on the Highland Lakes, including Lake Travis.
The lakeside experience may vary with seasonal changes, but the beauty and tranquility of this location remain year-round.

Consumables:
We include a reasonable starter amount of toilet paper, paper towels, and other consumables like organic shampoo, conditioner, body wash, dish detergent, and laundry detergent. Beyond the starter package, our guests are expected to manage their refills for any extended stays beyond 7 days.

Security Cameras:
For the safety of both guests and the property, we have exterior cameras actively recording video and audio of the porch, exterior parking, and front door. Guests staying 30 days or more can request access to the cameras for their extended stay. Guests are not to disable or interfere with the broadcast of the cameras and are at risk of forfeiting their stay. No tampering. Unless there is excessive activity, cameras are not constantly monitored.

Absolutely no parties and a strict noise ordinance, please! Quiet hours are 10 pm - 6 am.
Check-in/check-out times are strictly enforced using timed electronic locks.
No unregistered guests or pets. We do occasionally monitor the exterior cameras at check-in for guest count and pets. Unregistered guests or pets not disclosed will be charged.

Additional documentation will be required to rent this property managed via email and DocuSign. We also take a credit card on file for a deposit.

NOTE: THERE IS NO FENCE.

This is our personal vacation home that we love and have decided to share with others. You may see some of our belongings under the bed or in the pantry in addition to some condiments in the fridge. Mostly we will contain our private things in the shed.

Check-in/check-out times are strictly enforced using timed electronic locks.

No unregistered guests.

Boat ramp: with lake levels so low right now, the ramp is out of order.

Please note that the home is located on private roads, so direct access to the lake is not available.

Verification Portal:
To keep everything secure and smooth, we might ask for a government-issued ID, a confirmation of your contact details, a matching credit card, and possibly a quick background check.
Don’t worry—your information is only used for verification and isn’t stored.
By booking, you agree to our rental terms, provide the necessary documents before check-in, and understand that check-in details will be sent after we complete the verification.
We'll also place a temporary hold of $500 on your credit card as a security deposit. This hold is just a pre-authorization and will be released automatically within 2 days after check-out, as long as everything goes smoothly.

Pest Control:
We also perform regular pest control to keep the space comfortable, but since we’re close to nature, you might occasionally encounter a critter or two.

Pet Fee/s:
We’re happy to welcome pets! The pet fee is $100 for one pet for the entire stay. If you’re bringing a second pet, please let us know in advance—an additional fee of $50 applies for short-term stays or $100 for long-term stays. Unauthorized pets will incur a $300 charge per pet. Thanks for understanding!

Late Check-Out Policy:
Late check-out requests are subject to approval and must be made at least one day before your scheduled check-out. The rate for approved late check-outs will be charged as a percentage of your nightly rate. Please note that unauthorized late check-outs will incur a fee of $50 per hour.

All guests are required to fill out a renter's agreement, upload their ID to confirm the reservation, and pay a $500.00 refundable security deposit.

The easiest way to reach the property is by car. Conveniently located near major highways, it's a straightforward drive from Austin, Cedar Park, and other nearby areas. If you're flying in, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is approximately 1 hour away by car. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are available in the area for added convenience.

Great stay

Property was as described with amenities and a stocked kitchen. Backyard was gorgeous with the bluebonnets. It was small, as the description stated, but fit our family if four just fine. If you have small kids, be aware that there are two steps up and two down to get from living space to the bathroom. However, our 4 year old handled them just fine.

Corporate Rentals USA by Hestia has carefully curated a selection of privately owned homes under the Hestia brand (she is the Greek Goddess of Hearth, Home & Hospitality) where you can really just bring your suitcase and stay a while. We love couches you can sink into, extremely comfortable beds an high speed internet.

It's important to me that you have an amazing extended stay in our gorgeous homes. I've thoughtfully planned everything from USB chargers, tea kettles, good cookware and extremely fun yet relaxing designs. We are professionally managed by a female staff and we are proudly women owned and operated.

Come and enjoy all that Austin has to offer! We have famous events like SXSW, Austin City Limits (ACL), Food and Wine Festival, F1 race and so much more! The city is still small but it's constantly bustling with lots of fun things to do. Explore the caves in Georgetown, the real dinosaur tracks in Leander, rent a party barge in Lake Travis, swim in Barton Springs, go on a BBQ crawl (don't miss Terry Black's or La BBQ!) or watch the sun go down at the Oasis. If you need ideas, never hesitate to reach out!

I've have loved hospitality since I was a teenager, having spent an entire summer as an intern at an international hotel in Hong Kong as a concierge. I love meeting people, showing people around and introducing others to different kinds of food. Food & travel are definitely my love language!

I gave up my corporate life to focus on my family and this business. It gave me the opportunity to really explore all the things that I love. Real estate, interior design, technology, business development and hospitality (all the while, giving me freedom to raise my kids and be more present).

Welcome to Austin TX!
