Our house is right on the lake with a private dock if you choose to rent a boat during your stay. There is a public boat ramp only minutes from the house by land or water if you choose to bring your own boat. While most properties on Lake Travis are at least an hour from downtown, our location is only 35 minutes from downtown Austin so you can enjoy the lake and nightlife. Great for couples and families with kids. Not suitable for events or loud groups/parties.
The space
My husband and I fell in love with Lake Travis and often come here to recuperate when the outside world gets too noisy. At our home, you'll find a haven to unwind, have a glass of wine, a stocked kitchen to prepare meals and all the sounds nature has to offer (cicadas, crickets and more wonderful noises!).
We are situated in a quiet, beautiful corner of Lake Travis called Mermaid's Cove, just a 7 minute walk (.5 miles) or a 2 minute ride by boat to Sundancer Grill (bar, restaurant etc). Our home includes direct access to Lake Travis with a three boat dock, one slip can be used to store your rental or owned boat for the perfect Austin weekend.
There is a large grill, ample outdoor furniture (4 chairs, 2 loungers on our deck, two sitting areas on our main balcony and a living area located in the master bedroom balcony) and three parking spots for your group (2 cars will fit in our covered car port, 1 car behind that in our driveway. The extra long drive way is not a suitable place for more cars as you will need the room to turn your cars around (please do not use our neighbor's driveway). We hope you'll come stay and enjoy our home, the beautiful lake and all Austin has to offer.
