Lake Travis - 4 Bed, 2 Bath, with spectacular views

Due to a current Lake Travis drought conditions, we have NO WATERFRONT at this time. No visible waterfront at property and docks are not floating. Rental is for the home only. Price is currently discounted to reflect the lack of waterfront.

Lake Travis home with territorial views including a partial view of Lake Travis! This lovely country setting home has lots of privacy on about 3 acres with 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Enjoy the serene and private home and lounge in one of the decks. Your family will enjoy playing games and/or sharing a meal overlooking the lake viewed from the large living room windows and the decks. End your day on the deck and enjoy spectacular sunsets! Star gazing at night can also be quite breathtaking.

**NOTE: Lake Travis is currently suffering from a serious drought and the docks are not afloat at this time. (see last several photos for recent lake level pictures). We have significantly reduced our nightly rate due to the absence of waterfront. No waterfront at this time. **

Home is located only 20 minutes away from downtown Austin. The waterfront is typically steps away from the property and surrounded by beautiful foliage. Nearby is a boat launch and public park. This is a perfect getaway for families, friends, and adventure seekers!

Our property has lots of stairs between the driveway and the home. Its perched high upon a hillside overlooking the lake bed, so if you have trouble with stairs, please inquire before booking.

** Lake Travis water level update: the lake level fluctuates and is very very low at the moment. The docks are not floating! Lake is low and no waterfront is present at property at this time. You will need to walk south of the property through a trail to reach the waterfront**

Great views of the valley. Dining table big enough for a family card game. Lots of stairs did not deter our hiking.

JUST FANTASTIC!

This is a wonderful gem just outside of Austin. Corie and Bill are one of the best hosts that i have had a pleasure of dealing with. The description of the property was 100% to what you are getting and then some. It felt like being at a home away from home. Hope they continue to maintain the quality of their property and that other guests don't ruin it for the rest of us. Nice job guys! P.S. Top side parking is tricky and best to back into it. Service dirt road is easier, but more stairs.😅

Not for the elderly

Quiet, steps are steep getting up to the place. Back drive is best way to get in. Front drive is only accessible from one direction. It was a good thing my brothers and sisters were able to get up the steps.

Men’s Getaway

Hi we really had a pleasurable time. The accommodations were up to par. The effort to locate your lodge was not unreasonable. This Colorado River was a bit disappointing. We were able to find a public fishing area with some extensive effort. Perhaps next year will bring better water levels to the River.

We wouldn’t stay again

We were excited for our week at the lake until we realized there are no lake views. The host noted the water was low but we all felt the pics without any water should’ve been the first ones in the posting. 0 out of 3 of us said we’d return to the property for another stay. THE GOOD- cold ac in the house, comfy beds, patio/deck space, view of the fireworks on the 4th, close to The Oasis, Starbucks, Target, and HEB, fresh cold water gallons THE NOT SO GOOD- lots of small rolly pollies in the downstairs bathroom, shower head fell off the wall downstairs, we had to buy our own toilet paper and paper towels because there was only 1 roll of paper towels and really low quality TP, the steep and uneven HIKE up and down to get in the house(not ADA compliant), the pillows, not all rooms have AC(sunroom and upstairs office are hot), minimal/no spices, foil, charcoal, and other kitchen items so we had to buy all of these, no way to Uber or Lyft because the house is too hard to get to so we’d go places in the day and stay in all night, and also not the best communication from host. We messaged him the first night because we couldn’t find some light switches and lighting. He called immediately and said to call for anything any time of day. When we text to ask for paper towels we didn’t get a reply until we checked out and he said he just saw about the paper towels.

Treehouse

This property needs a lot of work & cleaning. We saw several small nasty roaches & other bugs. We never felt comfortable in the house. The property is older & needs a major overhaul & cleaning, it’s not easily accessible for small children or elderly. It’s not easily accessible from the street. It really doesn’t have a spectacular view it’s not worth the walk! However, the owners were nice & friendly!

Beautiful Birthday Celebration!

We celebrated our son’s 50th Birthday. He lives solo in Austin, but no room to celebrate. We live in Kentucky, so we needed to figure out where and how to celebrate with him and his friends. This was the perfect solution! The owner very generously allowed us to invite guests other than just the few of us who were staying overnight, and we had a perfect celebration! Everyone loved the setting, the view, the outdoor decks, and the lovely setting inside. Kids could run off their excess energy outside! Thank you so much to our hosts!

Affordable group accomodations

For the price of just one room at budget hotels, it was awesome to be able to house five adults in a private home with great views and room to relax. Could have handled one more guest. As the owner clearly emphasizes in the description, trying to park up top is not worth it for most vehicles.

Suggestions

The house is in good location. Owner did warn there's no water and very dry. But only 2 posted photos about it. Should have had more photos showing the dry and drought. The photos showing water were old shouldn't be on the properties listing page. Parking is tricky and rough driveway. Wish had photos showing it to expect rugged way in back of properties.Upper and lower driveway are steep like 45 degrees. A dolly would help if known in advance. House interior is nice & clean. Upstairs shower had some sewer smell like 5 minutes showering. Owner was friendly and talked thru with confused parking .Thank you. Other than that the stay was fine. Our family would have had more fun if there were water in the lake.

Perfect for our friends weekend.

Communication with property owners was great, check in and check out process was a breeze. The house had everything we needed and slept 7 adults comfortably. The weeds around the stairs leading up the house needed to be mowed down to make it a bit easier getting to the house, other than that everything was perfect.
