Map & Owner's Profile
The Best Water Skiing and Wake Boarding on Lake Travis!
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Austin
There's only 1 Lake Travis and the South side of the lake is clearly the best. We love our location because the water is not crowded and it's always smooth making our wakeboarding and waterskiing much more enjoyable.
The Unique Benefits at this House
After a great day of boating, we love making a camp fire and eating smores. The kids love playing ping-pong, pool, basketball and horse shoes. With the corner store/grocery store only a half mile away, it's quick and easy to buy whatever we need. The house is always a great time!
Owner's Map of Austin
We have 4 kids who love coming out to the lake and the Waterski Chalet. Unfortunately, all of their sports events prohibit us from coming out most weekends. So we decided to rent the house on VRBO and it's been great!
