We stayed at this beautiful property for a family event and it was just perfect! Rachel and Ricky were amazingly responsive on a holiday weekend to fix a small problem upon arrival but other than that the property was immaculate! The kitchen was fully stocked as well as beautifully redone bathrooms with plenty of room for unpacking and spreading out. We did travel with family pets and having a fully enclosed area for them to safely romp around was so helpful. We have stayed at many properties over the years and this one definitely exceeded our expectations! We look forward to staying at their property in the future.
This place was great! Rachel was very accommodating and always answering promptly. The property was beautiful- great views of the hillside. Everything was very clean and the place was well equipped and had everything you needed. Big plus for all of the rooms having bathrooms of their own for large groups. We appreciated each room having its own mini splits for differing thermostat levels as well. Highly recommend, will be staying again!
Four retired guys on a five night golf outing. This is our 3rd year to stay at this property and it was the best year yet. Great amenities, fantastic hosts, spacious and clean rooms, and great value! Couldn't ask for anything more! Already planning for year 4!!!
Rachel was an outstandingHost and this is an absolutely beautiful house!!!! She is very good at communicating and extremely accommodating to our schedule at Winter Games in Bee Cave.The Special Olympics staff was thrilled to stay here and cannot wait to sta again!!!!
Had a great time! The house was amazing, very clean, great views, host is responsive, lots of fun games, close proximity to the lake, wineries, and restaurants.
Great place, great location, easy check-in, very spacious and great for large families, or entertaining guests. The home was very clean and hosts were easy to communicate with, if needed. We would highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay here again.
The Cliffside Oasis is a wonderful property. The home is well maintained and immaculate with plenty of room for everyone in our party. We loved sitting on the back deck with our feet in the pool and enjoying the view from the hilltop. I would highly recommend and hope to stay again in the future.
The house was perfect for our large family. The main space provided plenty of seating and there were plenty of bedrooms to retreat to for privacy. We so enjoyed sitting on the deck each evening and using the pool. Quick response time from the owners. Home was clean and well maintained.
This is the second time we've stayed with Rachel and Rickey and it was the best visit yet! The house and grounds exceeded our expectations. And the hosts made communication a breeze. Highly recommend and already looking forward to our third visit!!
This location was so great for our film crew that we stayed another week! Great spot for filming and/or staying for a vacation or even long term if they offer it! Very much recommend.
We were in Spicewood for a wedding and the location couldn't have been any better for our needs. The house was beautiful and the layout worked very well for us. I would have loved to have spent more time relaxing at the property but we were busy with events. I would highly recommend this property and would stay again.
We had a wonderful stay for our daughters graduation. The location was close enough for all our needs. The host was responsive when I reached out. The home was clean and the floor plan was nice for our group. We would stay her again.
The house is really special; great layout, thoughtful features and touches throughout, and created a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere for our family. The great room at the hub of it all is truly a great room, with a well-equipped kitchen, ample space to spread out and spend time together. We also appreciated the generous check-in/out times that gave us a full three days of enjoyment. From the design/execution of the house, it's clear the hosts are thoughtful and that extends to their interactions throughout the process. Couldn't have been happier with our stay.
Four retired friends have been getting together annually over the past 10 years for golf and March Madness. This was our first time in the hill country and Rachel/Rickey were the perfect hosts with the perfect venue. The four of us were unanimous in our belief that this was the best year yet! We look forward to coming back for many memorable visits in the future. Thanks for your outstanding hospitality and sharing your house with us!!
Absolutely beautiful house. Fully equipped, and very comfortable.
This was a reward trip for work associates and their significant others. We all had a fantastic time.
I had no need to contact the owners. Everything needed was provided to me beforehand, and the house was in excellent condition. No issues.
Highly recommended!
Perfect House/Location for our 21st Annual 'Chick Trip'
Beautiful, spacious, clean, nicely decorated. For our group of six( 3 sisters, 2 daughters and a daughter-n-law) it was so nice to come home to the large, comfy Great Room and relax at the end of the day. Or sit out on the deck under starry Texas skies around the firepit. King size bedrooms were so comfortable(especially if sharing) and the other bedrooms just right if you wanted your own space. We were off by 9 a.m. to Austin, Hill Country or San Antonio for the day. So it was wonderful to come back to such a welcoming home each night. Thank you Rachel and Ricky for making our 'Chick Trip' to Texas a wonderful experience.
Rachel was an exceptional and accommodating host from the moment we inquired about the property. After booking, she kept us well-informed, providing everything we needed to prepare for our arrival. The property itself was ideal for our extended Thanksgiving getaway with our two teenage boys, in-laws, and dogs.
The layout of the home is perfect, offering plenty of space for everyone to gather in the great room (which includes the kitchen, living, and dining areas) while also providing the option to retreat to one of the four bedrooms, each with its own full bath. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the necessary appliances, plates, and utensils for preparing meals. The outdoor space has plenty of seating and a cozy fire pit for toasting marshmallows. Additionally, the fully fenced yard allowed our dogs to roam freely and explore.
If you're looking for the perfect place to unwind in the Hill Country, with easy access to day trips into Austin, this is the ideal spot.

About the host
Hosted by Rachel Haro
We are a family of four from Austin, TX. We love to spend our time outdoors, traveling, and enjoying delicious local foods. We're excited to share a piece of our world with you with our beautiful Spicewood house.
Why they chose this property
We love that this property is just outside of Austin so that we feel like we're out of the city, but close enough for a quick escape. We love spending our days outside and on the water and this house is absolutely perfect for that.
What makes this property unique
The river views from each room of the house is really what sold us on the property.
