About this property
Cozy, private waterfront stone cabin on the north shore of Lake Travis
notice 8/12/2025: the restrictions on swimming and fishing have been lifted and all of the flood debris has been cleaned up from Lakeside. Casa de Esperanza is back to its normal pristine self.
Casa de Esperanza is a stone cabin built on 9 acres in 1947 with the birth of Lake Travis. It was completely renovated in 2020. It is nestled under majestic live oaks with the prevailing wind blowing through their canopies; you'll notice no background freeway noise, only peace, quiet and privacy; deer/ bird watching; sterling sunsets, boat traffic along Lake Travis. **
Inside, there's rustic cedar furniture, vaulted cedar beam ceiling, full kitchen and dining; Bath includes a shower made with fossils found on property, or relax in a refreshing private outdoor shower; museum quality arrowheads are also to be found on property (you find, you keep). kayaks or canoe provided. Boat rentals nearby. Nice playscape for children in adjacent park.
18 hole golf course nearby. North Austin 30 minutes, downtown 50 minutes.
Nearby restaurants in Lago Vista, Jonestown, and Cedar Park. Casa is secluded from owner's home on the property.
Casa rents for 2 nights minimum and 7 nights maximum.
** In all transparency, holidays (Memorial Day, 4th July) are usually not very quiet because of neighboring lake parties

About the host
Hosted by Michael Haas
Michael Haas is a native Texan and Gail Atwater moved to Lago Vista in 1982 to escape the northern winters. We have raised a family on this property and actually lived in Casa de Esperanza for several years until our house was built. Before we lived in it, Gail ran Casa as a bed and breakfast with much success. We are now retired and look forward to sharing this beautiful property with guests again.
