Very nice lake house

We enjoyed our stay here. The lake view is the best part of the house. You have access to the water so that was cool. House was clean and it felt cozy. It had all the amenities you need. Would stay here again.

Lovely Hidaway

We can relax easily in this lovely house on Lake Travis. There is a great view of the lake, and plenty of comfortable seats to settle in for viewing, reading, or doing absolutely nothing!

Relaxing Weekend at the Lake

We stayed here with 2 other families and it was the perfect size. My favorite part of our stay was watching a storm roll in over the lake from the big windows in the living room. The photos don't do the view justice. The kitchen had everything that we needed and the rooms were comfortable. Would love to stay here again!

Family getaway

Beautiful property with a stunning view. The bedrooms were comfortable, beautiful, and well-appointed. Loved the blue color scheme throughout the house. One suggestion - some blinds in the living room would be nice, it was very bright in the afternoon.

May Lake Travis trip

My friends and I really enjoyed the property. The check-in was very easy. Everything was clean. The ceiling fans could be a little noisy but otherwise no complaints. Beautiful view of the lake from the patio deck.

Peaceful retreat

We enjoyed the beautiful lake view and the secluded location. We were appalled to realize that the cleaning crew had put unwashed dishes from the dishwasher into the cabinets.

Lake Travis house rental

The house has views of lake Travis. The house was older and the owners shared their family pics. The house was nice, 2 queen beds and 4 single bunk beds upstairs. Only issue I had was cleanliness of the kitchen which is more an issue with housekeeping than house.

We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back for an improved stay in the future.

Great time

Our state was great. Enjoyed the view every single day we were there. A bit of a pest problem we got a few spiders I adore the house and some ants but bought some spray and it was all good one of the fans in the room made noise and was not too powerful. Might need to change just. But other than that we will stay there again.

Lakehouse with a view

Nice cottage with a beautiful view from the back deck. You can walk down to the lake but beware it is rocky and there is not a pier. The walk down/up also is a bit challenging. The house was clean. Only issue we had is the master bed was all made up but when we went to go to bed there were not sheets on the bed which also revealed a soiled mattress pad. Not sure why the cleaning crew would leave it like that? Overall, our stay was nice and the cottage had everything we needed. Very relaxing and quiet location!

Amazing Place! Awesome view!!

The house was perfect. The beds slept 8 comfortably and all mattresses were brand new and comfortable. The kitchen, and furnishings are top quality but the home didn’t have that sterile feel to it so many professionally rented houses do nowadays. It felt warm, inviting, welcoming. Like a nice big hug. But the star of the show is the view!!!! From the living room but better yet the front porch, it is nothing short of incredible!! We had our breakfasts and actually every meal al fresco just enjoying the sun and the view. So peaceful, so relaxing, so serene, SO BEAUTIFUL! thanks you, and I. Any wait to come back and stay here again. I think I’ve found my second home, without all the hassle of having to own it!!!
