About this property
Lake Travis Art Retreat - Private/Pet Friendly
Stylish modern farmhouse on half an acre with lake views in a quiet Lake Travis community, just outside Austin.
Accommodating over 9 guests, the lake is a short 2-minute walk away with private park access.
Pet friendly we're perfect for families and diverse groups, the home features a dedicated baby room, dog doors with secure fencing, and three outdoor patios.
Enjoy nearby attractions like Pace Bend Park, Luck Ranch, breweries, and distilleries. The photos truly speak for themselves!
Families and groups of friends will love this spacious, playground that blends style, comfort and fun. Adorned with colorful accents and stunning artwork throughout we’ve created a radiant and inviting atmosphere ensuring a memorable experience. With three bedrooms and three outdoor patios the home accommodates up to 9 guests.
Pet owners will find two convenient dog doors leading to an 8-foot privacy-fenced backyard, offering a private retreat. Guests also have quick access to a private neighborhood park with a boat ramp, just a two-minute walk away.
Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by a charming facade and spacious grounds offering ½ acre of privacy with views of the lake, hills, and stars setting a relaxing tone. Inside you’ll find bright colors and an open layout featuring colorful artwork, inviting decor and comfortable furniture.
The main living room boasts vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and a large 75” TV with a soundbar—perfect for entertaining, highlighted by a second-story patio off the primary bedroom with breathtaking views ideal for stargazing.
The primary suite features a king bed, private bath, and balcony seating for six. Bedroom 2 offers a king bed, with the Bunk Room offering Queen bunk beds sleeping four. All rooms include new smart TVs and high-speed internet. After a day at the lake or perusing the Hill Country, enjoy endless fun with a ping pong table in the finished garage featuring vibrant orange balls and a black light for a glow-in-the-dark experience, along with a disc golf hole perfect for small games and friendly competition with other board games inside.
Discover the local charm of The Texas Hill Country, Spicewood, TX, with nearby breweries, delightful restaurants, and the beautiful Pace Bend Park for outdoor adventures. The neighborhood is safe and quiet, full of wildlife but still close enough to Austin if you want to explore the city.
