Location: Austin, Hill Country, Texas, USA (3 Miles from the Oasis Restaurant)
Accommodations: House on 10 Acres, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-10)
Nestled high above Lake Travis (near the famous Oasis Restaurant/Mansfield Dam and only 25-30 minutes from downtown Austin) Lake Travis Lake House is a 10 acre retreat with spectacular views of the main body of Lake Travis. This gorgeous 3-bedroom, 2-luxury-full-bath home was completely remodeled in 2005. Chefs will be amazed at the ultra-high-end kitchen, featuring a Viking Stove, Sub-Zero Refrigerator, granite countertops and imported travertine sink. Designers will marvel at the floor-to-ceiling travertine bathrooms, with an oversized soaking tub and magnificent European-style travertine shower. All will sleep well in the tastefully-decorated fully-furnished bedrooms.
Imagine sitting out on the large porch watching the sun set over the lake, strolling around the 10 acres admiring the other "residents" (including Egyptian Arabian horses, rare white peacocks and Pygmy goats, among others), or picking fresh herbs and vegetables out of the organic garden! And while you may feel a million miles away from the stress of the city (since the property is almost completely surrounded by the Balcones Canyonland Nature Preserve), you are in fact only minutes from every imaginable type of retail and restaurants (10 minutes from Lakeline Mall, 20 minutes to the Arboretum/Domain and 25-30 minutes from the heart of downtown Austin).
