Very unique place

We really did enjoy our stay. The property is excellent and the views fantastic. Too bad the lake is so low. The only negative is the location for walking and outside activity. You have to drive every where. Also the Oasis is a neat place but we missed the live music that is normally there. Many small towns for great day trips.

Better than the pictures!

We loved our little romantic getaway! Everything was better than expected, the views especially! There were two balconies and the sunsets were glorious! Elise also left some Prosecco and snacks which was really kind and appreciated. The location is So great as it is next to the Oasis restaurant and five minutes away from Steiner Ranch steakhouse! We will be back!

Beautiful view over lake Travis from the hill. The resort was quaint and you feel like you are all alone even though there are other homes around. It is private and secluded from the public. Full kitchen if you bring your own food to prepare which was very convenient. Views from every room right out over the lake were just stunning. Only downfall was the key to the door does not fit in well at all. It is bent and there is a small "trick" that you need to push hard on the key to the right and finish sliding it in to unlock the door. That made for a rough first night after going out for dinner upon our return we were basically locked out and it took a while to get in touch with someone who could come unlock the door with another key. Even after figuring out how the lock works it was not easy. Recommend they change out that lock/key for easier entry.

Really Enjoyable Stay

This is a very nice property and location. Major pluses are the Security and Privacy. Real Estate Manager was very proactive in addressing a couple of minor issues during my somewhat extended stay. The owner of the property was also very kind in extending me a courtesy regarding my arrival and vehicle. The interior is furnished nicely with high ceilings and upscale furniture. The bed is comfortable (Medium Firmness leaning towards soft slightly). Gift basket upon arrival Kitchen is well appointed with everything you need including trash bags, plastic wrap, foil, etc. The rental itself was very clean. There are 2 nice sitting areas outside including the deck off of the Master Suite. Keep in mind when it's 100+ degrees you will only want to sit outside in the early morning or later in the evening. There really is no downside I can not emphasize enough the security aspect There are so many break-ins at Std Hotels (Marriott HIlton Hyatt) next to Freeways in Austin. No worries about your vehicle here. The drive is steep but should accommodate a standard size vehicle. There are several stairs (Nice and wide) going down to the unit with a Solid Handrail. Two things of note: The bathroom has a dual front loading Washer Dryer stacked with interferes slightly with completely opening the door (Well worth the tradeoff) and there is no dishwasher (Not a problem for me... all towels and detergent were provided) but there also is no disposal (Which would be a nice update)
