About this property

UT Football Fave - Waterfront, Private Mini Beach!

Unwind and enjoy a luxurious lake-side experience in this 4BR lake house with a peaceful nature preserve next door. After enjoying the gorgeous views, comfy beds, and private 2-story boat dock, you'll never want to check-out from this stay!

Headed to Austin for a University of Texas football game? This vacation rental is an easy drive away from the city if you’re looking to attend games in person and enjoy peace and quiet after. Or enjoy being the host with the most! This home is perfect for game-day watch parties with friends and family. Kick back in resort-style comfort with plenty of seating and a private beach!


OUTDOOR AMENITIES


The covered patio provides a stunning view of the lake and outdoor seating for you to enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine on. A built-in propane BBQ grill lets you eat like a local and fans provide a cool breeze in the Texas summer!

A second slip is available for guest use. The boat slip hoist limit is 8,000 lbs / 23-foot boat. Enjoy being on Lake Austin which stays at a constant high level throughout the year unlike Lake Travis.

Amazing Family Holiday

Our family had a wonderful holiday getaway at this amazing house. We spent the majority of the time out on the dock looking at the beautiful scenery. The house was the perfect floor plan for us. We can’t wait to return in the summer time!

Great Stay!

The place was very secure, well stocked and very clean. Nice to wake up near the quiet water and watch some water skiers zip by at a distance. While the property is located about 30 minutes west of Austin, it seemed like a short drive and we were able to enjoy Austin and attend the Austin Grand Prix F1 race, Probably would be really nice to come here in the summer and enjoy the water more.

Beautiful House

The house was even better in person. The property was very well maintained, clean and beautiful. The boat dock was very nice! We spent most of our time and meals out there! The only negative thing was that the Hydrilla (seaweed) was bad by the dock. We couldn’t jump in and swim. It didn’t put too much of a damper on our trip because we had a boat to go out in but if you are hoping to swim off the dock, it is inconvenient. Even with that minor problem, I we will definitely be back!

Great House, Disappointed in Construction

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house and outdoors were beautiful, the downside was the construction going on next door that ruined the serene outdoor area.. the tractor was extremely loud and annoying, so nobody could relax outside....

Absolute oasis

This house is perfect for families or multiple couples. Upstairs more quiet, downstairs more game room and bunks. Plenty of sleeping space patio space and add on the boat house, the young ones all had room to hang out, spread out and chill out. The water is beautiful and the views fantastic. Kitchen is fully stocked and there is plenty of room for your own groceries with an extra fridge in the laundry. We stayed with 6 adults, parents and 4 22+ men. Never felt crowded. Even had a rental boat pick us up right at the boat house. What a great week!!!

Time For A Change...Perfect!

We are pro lakehouse renters who have been devoted to one place on Lake LBJ for almost 20 years. Our family has grown...and grown up...so we needed a bigger/more grown up place that would still deliver the lake experience we expect, and WOW! We could not be happier. We had space here for everyone to relax, kitchen room for all the family chefs, and so many fab areas to retreat to for yoga, book reading, watching the ducks, listening to birds, looking at stars. The property's "beachy" lake entry provided easy water play access for our littles ones, and transformed into a great spot for adult lawn chair happy hour at the end of the day. (Lake Austin water is a bit chilly, but that just contributes to afternoon breezes feeling awesome.) We're already checking our calendars to see when we can go back! Don't hesitate to book!!

Beautiful, clean lake house

Most of our group was local to the area and this is one the best lake houses I’ve ever stayed at. It’s truly lakefront and was well appointed with everything you might need. The views are hard to beat. There are many places, balconies and terraces to just hang out. We didn’t travel with any kids but did see two bunk beds that would be perfect for a family vacation with little ones. The property manager was also very responsive when we had questions. I hope to be back!
