A most memorable vacation

My friends and I had a phenomenal time this past weekend. This house has everything and then some. Everyone had a comfortable area to sleep and plenty of room to become situated. We loved the fact that it was so convenient to check in and it was so secluded, a literal getaway. The lake was a little low this year because of the drought so we were not able to experience the full effect of the lake from our house, but the view combined with the natural wildlife was amazing. I am definitely going to visit again in the future and would recommend anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing vacation to look here first.

We had a great time this past weekend at the lake house! The house was perfect for our mini vacation and so close to all the amenities. Andrea was super easy to work with and very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to friends.

We had a great girls' weekend at the lakehouse. Andrea was very easy to work with and the property was very clean and well-kept. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, sitting on the deck, and watching the deer. The water level of the lake is pretty low due to the drought, but luckily we were only a short walk from a nice community pool and park with lake access. I would definitely stay here again!

We received excellent assistance from our lakehouse owners. Loved the lakehouse, very nice, comfortable & clean. Loved the view...right on the lake. The upstairs covered balcony with a gas grill was a wonderful place to eat & observe. Loved the area & all the available facilities. Had a great time on the lake. The deer roaming around was an added plus...overall, Great vacation!! Look forward to visiting again!!

We rented this Townhome for my wife's birthday weekend. Andrea was very easy to work with and very accomodating. The condo was very spacious. Everything was clean, and there were plenty of towels and linens for everyone. We particularly enjoyed the private dock, wonderful pool with shade, grazing deer everywhere and blooming cacti. Our 3-month old son got his first swimming lesson! Next time I'll need to make sure to bring my golf-clubs - I did not expect the green-fees to be so reasonable.

It was our second time staying at this townhouse and we enjoyed every minute of it. The weekend was very relaxing and fun for everyone, with plenty of family friendly activities to keep our 6 year-old occupied. I particularly enjoyed seating on the outside deck looking at the cove while sipping some coffee (or wine)! Very comfortable, clean and equipped with everything we needed. Thanks for sharing your lovely lake retreat. Can’t wait to be back!

It's like a vacation home

It's like a vacation home We love this townhouse and the area it's in; for us it's like having a vacation home in Texas where we can escape the hard winters of Maine a month at a time. We live on the mid-coast of Maine, where the winters can be a bit uncomfortable. When we are tired of shoveling and plowing snow, we can come down to Point Venture and Lake Travis for a nice relaxing vacation away from snow. We have family and friends in Austin which is close enough to drive in for dinner or a nice visit. Having a restaurant on site is a bonus. It is great to be able to go to "The Pier" for dinner or drinks (even in the winter months). Speaking of restaurants, "The Oasis" on the lake isn't that far away so it's easy to meet family and friends there and watch the sun go down. Shopping is easy in Lago Vista, only a couple miles away where they have food stores, gas stations, library, and other small shops. The townhouse with its' guest bedroom and full bath on another floor makes it ideal for having over night guests. The location of the townhouse is great, with the cove of the lake that comes up within feet of the house. Complete with a small floating swim dock, you can tie up your boat or just relax and enjoy the view of the cove and lake in the background. In the winter it is quiet, you can sit on one of the decks, read a book or even take a afternoon nap. The neighbors we met are friendly and helpful. Having a rental car and wanting to see parts of Texas, we took a lot of 'Day Trips'; There are many interesting places within a days drive. We spent a lot of time on the large deck relaxing, grilling, and eating meals there. We would have a fire in the fire place in the livingroom late evening which really made it feel like home. Yes, we want to go back again. Bob & Sue Northport, Maine
