Great property! Check in was smooth. The place is beautiful. We loved how the house was decorated. The beds are very firm, but that was fine with us. Also, from the house to the lake is very steep, but again, that didn’t bother us. The kitchen was well equipped. Internet was fast. Couldn’t ask for better.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the property, the décor, and the amenities. We appreciate your note about the beds and the slope to the lake, and we’re glad they worked out fine for you. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
My family had a great experience at the house. We had everything we needed, and the serene location offered views of the lake, making each morning feel magical. The house itself was cozy, clean (except for the windows, but I didn’t say anything, and the manager was so nice, he would have probably sent someone to clean them) and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable week-long stay. This getaway provided the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, and we can't wait to return next year!

Thank you for the great feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the views and found the house cozy and well-equipped. Looking forward to having you back next year!
Several friends and I moved our freshmen into their dorms at UT. We rented this house so that we had one day to hang with them on the lake before we left. We rented a boat that picked us up at the dock of this home and spent the day on Lake Austin. It all worked out perfectly!
The house was nice and clean. Only 30 minutes from the UT campus. There was plenty of room for us to spread out!
I would highly recommend it!

Thank you so much for the kind words, Betsy! We're so happy that you and your friends had a great time celebrating the start of your freshmen's college journey at our home. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed the house, location, and overall experience. You all were amazing guests and we can't wait to host you again in the future!
It was an amazing experience for us. Lucas was outstanding, communicating and resposive always to our needs. Intitially we booked for one night, but we were so mesmerized with the Colorado river, and the paddleboats and kayak's that we wanted to extend one more night. And gues what? Lucas promptly made it happen, even sweeter with a 40% discount on second night. The property was super clean, equipped with everything you need to escape for a lakefront property. We will go back in Spring or Summer again. A must VISIT.
