Important to know

This is a natural Hill Country property, so guests may encounter wildlife, insects and other outdoor conditions typical of the area.

River and water conditions vary. Water levels can change significantly depending on weather and drought conditions. River access and dock availability may therefore vary and should not be the primary reason for booking the property.

Because of the terrain and access to the river, children and older guests should not make their way toward the water without appropriate supervision.

PRIVATE COMMENTS DO NOT PUBLISH Replace the dishes. Cracked, chipped, not enough for the number of guests. Deep clean the kitchen. Need lettuce spinner. Leave small amount of bottled water and ground coffee. Provide a book of information that includes operating trash compactor and recommends Lighthouse Cafe. Replace carpet, it’s gross. PUBLIC COMMENT beds comfy, view amazing, bring bottled water, it’s dated inside, but we had an enjoyable time.

Beautiful setting and property. A few plumbing problems and lack of silverware were immediately responded to. In spite of “bubbles” we loved it. Only drawback, we wished 3-4 members of our family could have also stayed….

A gorgeous property with an amazing view and great layout. Sadly it was poorly cared for and dirty. The carpet was really gross. The windows were so dirty you couldn’t enjoy the view! We called about the situation and the mgmt co was very responsive. They sent someone out to fix it, and they did sweep the floor, and cleaned ONE of the 15plus windows. If this place ever gets fixed up (upholstery cleaned, carpets) and cleaned well, this would be an amazing place!!!!

AMAZING. BEST STAY EVER!

This was the best property I have ever stayed at. Me and my friends had the best time ever. The view was amazing, the photos dont do it justice. It was very affordable, and the location was perfect, everything was nearby and a ton of things to do. The river was beautiful, and the house was extremely clean, a ton of amenities,and toiletries, and way way way more value than what we paid for. Thank you so much for letting us stay! We cant wait to share this place with other friends and family for future vrbo bookings.

Amazing estate

This place is a gem and a gorgeous plot of land. Three houses. Plenty of beds. Perfect for my family and cousins staying with us (12). If you love just being in the outdoors and enjoying good company this place is for you. I’ll note it’s a little buggy and the place was a little dusty when we got to it, but nothing too out of the ordinary if you know what you’re getting into. 10/10 would come back in a heartbeat.

Weekend in Spicewood

Very nice home. Beautiful property with great views. The river was very low, which was disappointing. Loved, loved, loved the property. There were some issues with the cleanliness and the plumbing in one bathroom. However, property management was very responsive and sent someone out right away.

Fantastic location to view the Great American Eclipse

My wife, my friends and I stayed here for the eclipse and we were really impressed with the experience. The regal riverfront home was a hidden oasis, and the property was spacious and well-maintained. There was a lot of room for the kids in our party to tire themselves out chasing butterflies in the garden. The main house and the casitas were excellent accommodation for us, with modern amenities delivered in a subtle way that embraced the serene getaway atmosphere. The main house was a perfect situation for all the guests to play a spirited round of Catan. A wonderul time was had by all.

Great spot for three families

Main house has two bedrooms. Guest house has king and two twins with kitchenette. Cabin has queen and queen over queen bunks. House is very clean. Don’t expect there to be anything for cooking there. Bring all your own spices, foil, everything. There was not a single trash can to be found in the kitchen/on property-just FYI. Beautiful property. River was non-existent, but we knew that being Texans going through the same drought. Stayed here for state bass fishing tournament on lake Travis. Proximity to ramp at tournament point was perfect. Views are great. Large grassy area around home. Gated and secluded. Home is a dated, but clean and well maintained.

Great property. Beautiful piece of land. Lots of areas to enjoy the view. I really enjoyed my morning coffee and reading outside. Great firepit, trees, deck, swing and views. House shows wear but we had everthing we needed. Great master rooms. Very comfortable. Great open areas with lots of big windows to enjoy the views. We loved using the large kitchen Island. The cabins were great. It's a great property for multiple families. Our kids loved it. We did a have a problem with communication as the questions we asked weren't answered well from the property management company as they aren't local to the property. Just know there is currently no river access, no dock access directly from the property. We asked and we're told yes before booking but after we booked we're informed that there was not direct access to walk down to the private dock. The listing needs to be updated (maybe it has by now). The marina is very close and there is also a country park real close for swimming, fishing, hiking. Despite the disappointment in not having direct river access like we were looking for in a property - we had a great trip and enjoyed the property.

Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful land, the cozy firepit, and those peaceful moments with your morning coffee and a good book. It sounds like the spacious kitchen island and comfortable master rooms really added to your stay, especially for your group with multiple families and kids. We truly appreciate your honesty regarding the communication challenges and the river access information. We are sorry for any confusion caused by our team and for the inconvenience regarding the dock access. Your note about updating the listing is very helpful, and we will be sure to pass this along to the local team to ensure future guests have the most accurate information. Despite that, we are glad you had a great trip and were able to enjoy the nearby marina and country park for swimming, fishing, and hiking.

CONSUMER FRAUD

It was one of the worst experiences we’ve had, noting I’ve been a member and property owner with Vrbo for 9 years; this place was abandoned, a beautiful property handed to the wrong management company, when we got there we ran the water in the whole house and it smelt like rotten eggs for over 2 hours, we all got headaches and we went and sat outside getting bit by insects while we waited for the smell to vacate the house because it was inhabitable, the hot water didn’t work the entire time, and we were told sorry no one can assist us we could’ve even reach them via phone call we would text and get a response hours later, false advertisement on the private dock it’s so dried up u can’t even dock a kayak bc there was no water just dirt and grass… trees and branches haven’t been maintained making easy to scratch very expensive cars and trucks and gate is very flimsy and timed really quick so if you drive behind each other it can close on you and damage your car which happened to a 2024 f-150 king ranch that is costing $3,000 to repaint the bed side from there gate damage… please stay away from this place it looks like it came out of a scary movie and you are abandoned from management… literally in the woods and on your own!!!

October Stay

Overall great property, plenty of space for a group and beautiful views overlooking the river. Private and quiet. The river was dry and looked like it had been for some time. Property was mostly clean, and the only issue we had was with the stove top, we weren’t sure if it was malfunctioning or if we were just not pressing the right buttons. Otherwise we had a great time.
