Sunset Waterfront Escape w/ Pool & River Views, Minutes to Lake Travis!

Welcome to our stunning Lake Travis retreat! This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers breathtaking Texas Hill Country sunsets, walls of windows, and spacious decks. The home sleeps 12, features a king primary suite, and a game room with a pool table. Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, high-speed Wi-Fi, and streaming services. Relax with Sonos speakers throughout, and bring your pets along! Only 25 minutes from downtown Austin, this perfect escape is near marinas, parks, and boat rentals.

We have an expansive 360 tour of this space - check it out by scanning the QR code in the image gallery. You can use the floor plan or the navigation bar at the bottom to explore the house. Also, if you go to an outdoor space, look up, and click the cloud with the arrow, then you will also get a tour of Austin! Enjoy!

Step into a world of comfort and style as you enter this beautiful home. The living room, adorned with expansive windows, fills the space with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Unwind on the sleeper sofa while watching your favorite shows on the large smart TV or connect with high-speed Wi-Fi for a seamless streaming experience.

The fully equipped kitchen, complete with a dishwasher, offers everything you need to prepare delicious meals. Adjacent to the kitchen, the elegant dining room provides ample space for your group to enjoy meals together. The Sonos speakers throughout the house ensure you can enjoy your favorite music in every room.

On the main floor, the primary bedroom features a luxurious king bed and an en-suite bathroom with a double vanity. Downstairs, you`ll find two queen bedrooms, each with a hanging chair, perfect for a relaxing read or simply taking in the view. The bunk bed room, with its four built-in twin beds, is ideal for children or additional guests. All beds are fitted with custom luxury hotel linens, ensuring a restful night`s sleep.

The lower level of the home boasts a game room equipped with a kitchenette, fridge, pool table, and other games, providing endless entertainment options. This level also grants access to an open-air porch, offering shade and fresh breezes while still giving you that close-to-nature feeling. It’s perfect for relaxing and soaking in the surroundings, though it’s intentionally open so you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the Texas Hill Country without a barrier in between.

Both full bathrooms are stocked with all the essentials, including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers. The in-unit laundry, located on the bottom floor, ensures you have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along for the adventure, but note that we don`t have a fenced-in area for them.

The property features two expansive decks, perfect for taking in the stunning hill country views. One deck is fully open with comfortable furniture and a hanging chair, ideal for soaking in the scenery, while the other is a roof-shaded open-air deck. Designed to be completely open to the fresh air, you’ll feel the gentle Texas breezes and be surrounded by nature, all while enjoying shade from the sun; a perfect spot for evening gatherings or morning coffee, and BBQing!

Just a few steps below, the backyard now boasts our brand-new Cowboy Pool. This chic stock-tank plunge pool comes with a built-in heater and chiller, letting you dial up a toasty soak when the nights turn crisp or cool things down after a sun-drenched lake day. It’s a playful, year-round oasis that turns an already gorgeous outdoor area into your own private mini-resort.

✦ Cowboy Pool Disclaimer: We want our guests to enjoy all the amenities our property has to offer, including the pool. However, please be aware that the availability of the pool might be affected by necessary maintenance, cleaning, or unforeseen issues that arise beyond our control. Our commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable experience means there may be times when the pool is not accessible. Your understanding and flexibility are greatly appreciated as we work to ensure your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Our home is surrounded by nature near Lake Travis. We have professional pest control services and thorough cleaning between each stay, but you may occasionally see harmless insects outdoors or near entryways.

Parking is available in both the upper and lower driveways. The upper driveway has an electric vehicle charger available and offers a steep walk down some stairs, while the lower driveway requires climbing 61 steps but provides easier parking.

Accessing the home requires climbing a long flight of outdoor stairs that are steep and can be uneven in places. This is a common feature of lakefront properties, but it`s definitely a bit of a climb! Please consider this carefully if anyone in your group has mobility concerns. We’re happy to answer questions and help you decide if our home is the right fit. Be sure to check out our detailed parking guide to find the best access point for your group.

Please note that Lake Travis is a dynamic reservoir known for its fluctuating water levels, designed to capture water during rainy seasons and conserve it during drier periods. For guests interested in monitoring the lake`s water levels during their stay or planning their waterfront activities, up-to-date information can be found by searching `Lake Travis Water Level`.

Located just 25 minutes from downtown Austin, this home is perfectly situated for exploring the city while enjoying the tranquility of the Hill Country.

Beautiful Home

This house was amazing! It was clean, beautiful, spacious, and right on the water so we could enjoy some Lake time. The top driveway is very steep, and there are a lot of bottom steps, but this is as advertised and did not hinder our trip one bit. We would love to come back!

Not what we expected

It was nearly impossible to park in the upper spots and having to park in the lower area the stairs up to the house are worn and falling apart. Overall the house was on the dirty side, hair in the bathtubs, mold in the washer, dirty floors, etc. We had to clean the vacuum provided out ourselves because it was so clogged it wouldn’t suck anything up. The fridge door shelves were nonexistent as they were all broken.

House was a good hill country experience

House was a good hill country experience, beautiful location and very comfortable! However, the house was not very clean, and some lights didn’t work properly. The garbage from previous guests was never picked up outside because of the holidays and it was unpleasant to have the garbage there during 3 days even though i asked for it to be picked up.

Management didn’t seem to care

Arrived at the home and it was dirty, hadn’t been cleaned from previous guest. We understand that this happens and the gentleman I spoke to acted sincere in his apology and correction of the issue with a credit. I thanked him and then cleaners came shortly after. However, throughout our stay, we discovered numerous issues with the home. No hot water downstairs, loose railing and loose deck flooring. Now mind you, the deck sits about 30 ft off the ground so if the railings gave way or the deck did you would be in a world of hurt. The thermostat is controlled by a Nest unit. Woke up every night with the heat blowing at 75 degrees. The interior floors are warped, dirty, and in desperate need of refinishing and the entire house just needs some love. We didn’t want to be “that” type of guest so we waited to see how management would handle their initial promise. No word from them so I reached out to them to inquire about credit. Radio silence. So here I am now, after multiple opportunities for a management to correct issues, writing a bad review. You truly make the guests feel like they are not wanted and you don’t care by the condition of the home and poor management.

Great getaway with wonderful view

My family and I had an amazing time enjoying what seems like an endless view. Home away from home accommodations. Getting in and out of driveway was tricky but we didn’t have much reason to leave. There was so much house for a crew of 8 and two dogs!

Pictures in the listing are very misleading because the water is down and the dock is just in an open field currently. You will not have access to the lake or use of your own private dock

Relaxing time

We had an extremely relaxing time with our family here. The place is very conveniently located. The instructions from the host were accurate and helpful. Everything in the house is well organized and we didn’t have any trouble locating anything whatsoever. Parking on the upper deck is a little tricky, but it is more convenient to carry luggage into the house compared to the lower deck. The wifi stopped working and we couldn’t locate the router. It wasn’t a big deal as we had very good wireless signal and used our cellphone hotspot.

Lake Travis Getaway

Beautiful house and loved the view of the lake. Only concerns in the beginning was a strong marijuana odor which eventually went away after we opened windows to allow the house to ventilate and the Wi-Fi was down during entire our 2-day stay. We were told a technician was coming on Day 1 but that never happened and didn't want to bother having them come by on Day 2. Other than that, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay.

Fair to Poor

We stayed for 2 nights in this property. When we arrived to the property at Bullick Hollow Rd, we saw a very scary driveway in front of us (I insist it is scary) since the property owner had mentioned that there is a lower driveway which there was not. This one-way driveway is absolutely dangerous because no one in the main road sees you when you are coming out of drive way. we stopped in the middle of the main road and all passing cars stopped for us and in that case we tried to slowly enter to that steep driveway. After checking in the AC system was not working and we were on the phone with our direct contact until 8:00 pm to be able to run our Nest thermostat. Since then, the house was smelling bad and The floor was dirty and all of kids' socks got dirty and black in the very first hour. ( I have the picture of those). The downstairs' bathroom always smelled bad and nasty and couldn't use the shower. The best part of our stay was that beautiful balcony and we were trying to spend more time there.

Ames' property is breathtaking. It was so much fun and I would rent here again! The host was quick to remedy a small problem that we noticed once we checked in. But he was quick to respond, extended my stay, and very professionally remedied the situation! Some of the kayaks haven't been used recently and they were dirty inside. Plenty of parking. Can't wait to come back.

Extremely Unsatisfied

We enjoyed the beautiful lake views through the large windows and cozy porch. The Sono sound system on both floors is an excellent addition, the TV was great, and the pool table is a great touch. The large kitchen table was wonderful for the family to gather around however, the rest of the kitchen was filthy when we arrived; crumbs & goo on the counters, sticky food residue in the fridge, and so much grease in the oven it smoked up the whole house....not the best first impression & I’m still wondering why I paid a cleaning fee for a dirty house. A few things to be aware of: The stairs to get to the back door from the lake are no joke! The range of ages for my family are 31-65 and we all struggled with how many stairs were there. Make sure you’re ready!  There were no hand towels in the bathrooms or kitchen making it very inconvenient after washing your hands unless you bring a lot of paper towels.   The inside staircase from the lower level bedrooms to the upper living area were extremely steep and there was no handrail.  Instead, there is a net that was very difficult for some family members to use.  Just something to be mindful of. This house advertises sleeping for 12 but only has seating in the living room for 5 people (6 seats advertised in the pictures online).  It would have been nice to have more soft seating for family members around the TV area to accommodate the same amount of people that can sleep.  The email response time between me and the home owner prior to my reservation was stressful. I rented this home during Christmas with a full understanding that everyone else in the world was also celebrating this holiday however, as a landlord there should be someone available to assist issues/concerns in a timely manner. By timely manner I mean, my stay was 20 days ago, I’ve sent two emails because I have yet to receive my deposit back and the owner and management company have yet to respond to me. Now I get to spend my personal time making phone calls to get my money back, thanks for nothing. Hopefully my communication situation is an isolated event for this home but I read the several horrible reviews for this home and I should have believed them. The low rental price just about matches the quality of the home but I wouldn’t stay here again after taking more time and reviewing the other homes in the area.
