Location: Briarcliff, Lake Travis, Hill Country, Texas, USA (20 mins. from downtown Austin)
Accommodations: Condominium, 3 Bedrooms + Office, 2 Baths (Sleeps 7-10)
Our condo is on one of the highest points on Lake Travis, so the views are breathtaking. It is decorated Texas chic style and is very comfortable and private, not to mention large enough, approx. 1500 sq. ft. 3/2+study that each person can have some space but still be together. We have a Jet Ski pad. The shared hot tub is just below our back door and pool just a few steps from that. It is truly the ideal place to relax and unwind.
We are just 30 mins drive thru the beautiful Hill Country to Marble Falls a quaint small town with great restaurants and antiquing. 20 mins. toward Austin is the new Galleria Mall. In the small village of Spicewood, only 10 mins.drive is beautiful Krause Springs where it is fun to spend a day or afternoon picnicing and swimming in the spring fed swimming holes. In Spicewood you'll also find, some of the best BBQ in Texas, a zipline thru the canopy of trees and a vineyard or 2.
There is so much to do in the area San Antonio is less than 2 hrs away with many great small towns along the way. Burnett has the Longhorn Caverns which are a must see, they even offer concerts in the caverns in summer. Fredericksburg is 1hr. and a very scenic and easy drive.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2001
My husband and I touring Johnson City by horse drawn carriage and doing the tour of Lights Christmas 2008, just 30 mins. from our home. It was a wonderful evening, so much fun. Would be great for whole family, we have 3 boys, but with just us two was fun AND romantic!!!
Why the Owner Chose Briarcliff
We've been coming and renting a condo here since 1990. I've lived in France and think the view here is better than in Cannes and Nice. We love the beauty, for us Lake Travis is heaven on earth.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
Hot tub and pool right out the back door. Top balcony with nothing obstructing your view is the best stargazing in this galaxy. Relaxing but never boring. Great fishing...even better eating.
View and Texas scenery that will make you thankful to be alive and grateful for your senses.

To All New Guests, you are seeing these guestbook entries all dated in Feb. bcs I am just asking past guests to write their thoughts in my on-line guest book. I am new to hi-tech and in the past have only rented to guests by word of mouth. Thank you for considering my home and for looking at my guestbook.
