Beautiful property!

We were looking for a short getaway to celebrate my daughter’s college graduation and this gem was perfect! Very clean and private with so much room for outdoor fun. The stairs to the dock were very steep so not ideal for anyone with mobility challenges but for young adults and active older folks, it should not be an issue. Host was super responsive and friendly. Highly recommend if you are searching for a larger home with waterfront access!

Great house on Lake Travis

We recently stayed here as a family gathering over a holiday weekend. The house is beautiful has a well equipped with kitchen, towels for house and swimming in the River, life jackets, a few games, comfortable beds, large rooms and bath rooms, a spacious deck with Blackstone overlooking the Lake, patio with tables overlooking the lake and a game room. There is a long walk down to the lake with a dock to swim off of. Teresa, the owner communicated clearly and quickly when we had questions. Highly recommend this property.

A great weekend get away.

A short distance get away from any major Texas cities. Private setting, stunning paronamic views, cooking breakfast while enjoying sunrise. Having dinner on another deck, watching sunset. Got a love Texas & this place.

Family Getaway

The home was perfect, one of the cleanest vacation homes we have stayed in. It was a workout to get to the water but that is because the lake was so low. We ended up renting a pontoon boat for the day and enjoyed the scenery and dipping into the water.

Great Stay

Very much enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful views, right on the water, and the house was spectacular. The host responded very quickly to every question I had, and she was very accommodating and willing to help. Only down side was that it was very difficult to find an Uber to pick us up from the location. However, it was easy to find Ubers from Austin to the property. Overall, this was a fantastic experience

Family Getaway 2019

This was the perfect property for my family. The house was very spacious and the lake view was everything that I imagined it to be. We would definitely recommend this property and possibly book again during the summer months. Theresa, the property owner, was always accessible and provided a response within minutes of any texts that I sent. The Dumes Family

Beautiful house

The house is large with a great view of the lake. My parents were in town so we wanted to get out of the city for a bit. Teresa was pretty responsive at getting the stove to work. The grill had issues starting but we were able to make due with cast iron skillets for the steaks. I was able to bring my jetsurf and the neighbor was really helpful as well. The kids also had a blast as well.

Great lake retreat!

Gorgeous view of the water and surrounding area. We stayed for a few days just before Christmas and it was perfect for family who live in different parts of Texas to meet up for a relaxing getaway. The home is very spacious. There was plenty of room for the kids to be kids and for the adults to have conversation. It was nicely decorated for the holidays. We cooked every meal in the kitchen easily. The home was super clean upon arrival and the host was very communicative and helpful. The beds were very comfortable and we slept great. Highly recommend!

Our family motto is "Take the road less traveled for that is where the treasure is found".

We hold dear the experience, engagements, and anniversaries that many people have shared with us over the past 6 years.
