This getaway lake house was the very best location for a girls weekend - girls traveling from all parts of the country enjoyed a relaxing stay including a boat excursion, private chef, and a beach on the lake! We were impressed with the service, house manager, and location. House was close enough to Austin for nightlife and close to medical facilities (we had one girl get sick and needed medical attention). Definitely worth an extended weekend! House was well appointed and very easy to make "home" for the weekend.

Our company's favorite event- EVER!
We had our company's year-end event at this incredible estate. By far the nicest home we ever rented in Austin (or anywhere)! The home's lakefront location and huge event lawns made it the perfect location for our group, but it was the home that made our stay. The home is so well appointed, spacious, comfortable and still so Texas Elegant. Thank you Arrive for setting up all the details for our event and making it so easy. We will be back!

This property is gorgeous! We loved being right on the lake and had a fantastic time. From the moment we got there to the moment we left ARRIVE took great care of us. Can’t wait to visit Austin again.

One of the best houses in Austin!
This house is worth every penny! I can not express how amazing this estate is. The house itself is state of the art and is truly a blend between Texas culture and luxury. The grounds themselves are expansive and could easily host a wedding or other large venues. We really enjoyed the lake house during the day and then grilling at night while using the pool and hot tub. I would highly recommend this house to anyone coming to Austin!
