Came to visit relatives. The house was wonderful. It was perfect for three adults. The view was phenomenal. I could sit on the deck all day and just look at the view.
Two story generous spaces and private beds and baths offered great rest and quiet nights. Comfy beds and great views off of decks. Well equipped kitchen made meals easy to prepare.
We loved this property for our stay. Everything was very comfortable! It was great for our family—close enough to downtown but far enough to be in a quiet neighborhood.
My third stay in this lovely home. Built into the cliff above the river, it is very unique. Light filled spaces and updated bathrooms. Lots of stairs for good exercise!

Beautiful house with amazing view
The view was so amazing that we enjoyed the deck as much as we could, both for the sunset and the night view of the stars. The house was well-maintained.
Nice two story house with a great view on the patio. Quiet neighborhood and a short 25-30 minutes drive to the city of Austin.

Overall good place. Cleaning could use some fine tuning but it wasn't a showstopper for me, and it wasn't bad enough to complain about while I was there. I did send a private msg to the owner outlining some suggestions.Good hidden location and plenty of outdoor activities, dining establishments, and grocery options nearby.
We found the reviews to be accurate. If you’re wanting a highly stylish home this is not, but it is fun, clean as a whistle and the view seen from cute updates kitchen, living and from the deck was a hit for us. Modest but nice Table & chairs on deck and 2 chair pad chairs. We would stay again.
Our group had an amazing time at this property. We were close to restaurants, BBQ food trucks, grocery stores, gift shops, hiking trails, Lake Austin, and Lake Travis. We spent several nights inside playing games, watching TV, cooking dinner and enjoying the view. The beds were incredibly comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. We felt very at home and would recommend to anyone and would stay again.
This is an absolutely lovely lake house. We loved it and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had access to everything we needed, supplied dishes, towels, paper products, etc. It was clean and in good order. If we stay in that area again, we've already decided to try to rent it again.
The views are STUNNING! Make a cup of coffee (bring your own Kuerig pods), and sit out on the deck. Inhale the fresh air and beautiful views!! Very clean. Very lovely home. Saw some deer making their way thru the brush. The only bad thing is I have to leave and go back to cold, flat Nebraska!!
Cozy home. The kitchen is really large great for cooking at the house. Views from decks are amazing. Easy to find. I did have to reach out to property manager and they were very nice and responded immediately.
The place was super clean and pleasant to decompress after my daughter's wedding. The only complaint is half the outlets didn't work. Especially the outside deck for the lights and the lighting outside. Other than that, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay.
Everything about this property was amazing. It was clean, spacious and located in a quiet, safe neighborhood. We spent a lot of time on the large upper balcony which had a beautiful view of the Colorado River. and hills. Our family of 5 stayed here for 5 days in order to attend a wedding at Vintage Villas on Lake Travis which was a 6 minute drive away.

Great deck views!
The views were amazing. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck at night. Overall the house was not very clean. Tons of cobwebs and pet hair throughout the house.

This homeowner goes above and beyond to provide all guests with a 5-star experience and we look forward to hosting many more satisfied travelers in this home. Best, the Evolve Team
Views from top deck were exceptional! First time experiencing the lakes and rivers around Austin. Drive into property is a little adventure, with some winding and steep climbs. Husband enjoyed it! Property was pet friendly and allowed for a small dog we brought. There are stairs, to climb inside and outside, just fyi for older folks or small kids. The wildlife was also very vocal, fun to hear. Over all a good stay!
