We had a lovely weekend at Stairway to Heaven! Absolutely loved that we could open the large sliding doors in the kitchen area to the deck to enjoy an indoor/outdoor experience. The stairs were manageable for us. I counted 38 (stone) steps from house to parking area and 112 from the water to the top of the spiral staircase - all of the stairs were well maintained.

Absolutely beautiful home with an unforgettable lake view! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the luxury, comfort, and attention to detail throughout the property. The home was beautifully appointed, exceptionally clean, and had everything we could have hoped for during our stay.The lake views were truly spectacular and made the home feel like a peaceful retreat. We especially enjoyed relaxing and taking in the scenery—it was the perfect place to slow down, unwind, and enjoy quality time together.The property was even more beautiful than the photos, and the entire experience felt special from beginning to end. We would happily stay here again and would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a luxurious, peaceful getaway on the lake!

Good but active construction next door

Great location. The only downside was the active construction noise and debris from next door while tying to enjoy the outdoor amenities. Construction workers seem lock eyes on our female guests continously.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 January 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! We’re so glad you loved the location—it's one of our favorite features too. We’re really sorry about the construction next door. Unfortunately, we don’t have control over it, and they don’t keep us updated with a firm schedule, which makes it tricky to plan around. As for the construction workers, we’re sorry if their behavior made anyone uncomfortable. That’s definitely not okay, and we’ll be reaching out to their management to address it. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding, and we hope you’ll visit again once the dust settles—literally!

Great comfortable home!

We loved the location. Beautiful views of the lake. Nice quiet and comfortable home. Wished the fireplace worked. No coffee pot lid to keep the coffee warm. Driveway pretty steep so we parked our car above.

Starting the new year

We are a family of 7 with kids’ ages ranging from 14-22 and loved our 3-night stay in early January 2025. We were lucky with the weather so we could enjoy the patios as well as the large kitchen / living space. Could use another place to sleep like a pullout, since teens really don’t like to share beds, other than that, well worth the money!

Large, spacious, modern, well-decorated, great views all around. We counted 109 well-maintained stairs from the lower level down to the dock. You'll also want to park at the top of the driveway, as it is a steep, windy walk down. Very manageable for an able-bodied adult or child, and totally worth the extra effort for the hilltop views. Very large TVs in numerous rooms on 3 levels. For a family of 3 it made for a pretty decadent stay - we had more than enough room to spread out on the top floor; a large group could have a blast and take better advantage of the space. Bedrooms had fantastic bedding and were tastefully decorated. We cooked and grilled most nights in the excellent kitchen with huge island. Lovely selection of bar glasses and you might find some common cocktail ingredients like simple syrup, bitters, etc. (Notes - The disposal switch is hidden under the counter on the left side. The modem/router work better if you move them onto the balcony or closer to windows.)

Great View

The balcony view is gorgeous and a lovely place to relax. The driveway down is crazy steep. If you dont have 4-wheel drive, park at the top and take the stairs down. The hotwater heater near the master bedroom was very loud and came on periodically throughout the night. The hosts were notified. Overall, it was a beautiful house and we would stay here again.notified

One of a kind house, One of a kind view

We had the great pleasure of staying at Oak Shores for an extended weekend. The house has spectacular views from 4 decks at various heights, plus a boat dock. The top and main level has telescoping sliding doors that lets the outside flow in. We had family over for dinner and it was the perfect experience. The house is nicely outfitted with everything you could need and the concierge service will help with special needs. Even the neighborhood was charming.

Incredible property with amazing views and access to water… house was very clean and spacious and we loved the layout…Only negatives were the AC stopped cooling the last night (and we didn’t crank it down below 70…) so it was 80 in the house the last day. Also the toilet in the Master has a leaky handle and would run after each flush.

Overall good experience. Had issue with management company changing the code then gaslighting me about it. Lack of follow up after issue. No consideration in the aftermath even though it was promised.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you had an overall good experience. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the door code and any miscommunication from our management team. It's important to us that our guests feel heard and supported, and we regret that this was not your experience. Regarding the AC issue, our aim was to ensure the system remained functional throughout your stay. Setting the temperature too low can cause it to freeze and potentially lead to a complete outage. We should have communicated this more clearly and provided better follow-up to ensure your comfort. Your feedback is invaluable, and we are taking steps to improve our communication and follow-up processes. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for an even better stay. -Walker Luxury Vacation Rentals

Beautiful Property, But the Driveway Needs a Warning!

This home is absolutely amazing! The views of the lake are breathtaking, and the amenities do not disappoint. The property itself is well-maintained, peaceful, and perfect for a getaway.However, the driveway is dangerously steep—and that’s an understatement. The property management company simply describes it as "steep," but that doesn’t come close to preparing guests for the reality. My Jeep Grand Cherokee with 4-wheel drive couldn’t make it back up, and I had to call a tow truck, turning into a three-hour ordeal. Clear instructions should be provided advising guests not to drive down it.Also, be ready for a lot of stairs—not a problem for us, but definitely something to consider.Overall, the property is fantastic, but future guests need a better warning about the driveway situation to avoid the same issue we faced!

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. As noted in our listing and in the text reminder sent prior to your arrival, the parking area is located at the top of the driveway, with a stairway of approximately 50 steps leading down to the house. We make every effort to ensure that our guests are fully informed about this aspect of the property before their stay. We truly appreciate your understanding, and we’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the home, amenities, and the beautiful lake view. Warm regards, Walker Luxury Vacation Rentals

Lovely Home and Setting - Stairs are no joke :-)

We rented this home for about 10 days while in Austin moving our daughter from one place to another. We are from the area and knew what to expect, however, please read the listing thoroughly. Anyone who is not prepared for stairs and a little extra exercise may be in for a surprise. The listing is accurate. My husband was able to back our truck down the driveway to unload on arrival and load for departure. Other than that, we parked at the top of the driveway. Unless you are a skilled driver or have an extremely small car. The driveway is off limits, so please don't even attempt it. My husband has a CDL and it was even difficult for him. That being said, we had no issue since we knew what to expect in advance and appreciate the listing details stating those facts. The location on Lake Austin is great and so close to one of our favorite restaurants, Ski Shores. View is wonderful. Mornings on the patio drinking coffee and overlooking the lake when it is calm was the best! Property management was also great in helping with questions we had during our stay and being very accommodating with a portable AC unit when the main unit was struggling to keep up with the extreme heat. The fact that we were able to travel for that length of time with our furbabies was a huge plus as well. The home had everything we could possibly need during the length of our stay. The beds were comfortable. The home was clean. We felt safe and the neighborhood was quiet. Great listing!
