The property was exactly how it was described. Adorable place that has been maintained and has a great view. It came with all the things you might need for a fun holiday weekend with family and friends. Host was super communicative, helpful and friendly.

About the host
Hosted by Laura Meritt
We have lived in Austin for more than three decades, and this cozy lakefront retreat has been our happy place for most of those years. We've celebrated birthdays, summer holidays, and so many other special moments year with our three daughters, extended family, and friends. We still enjoy spending weekends at the lake, but we also love to travel and explore new places. While we're away, we are excited to open our doors and share this little slice of heaven.
Why they chose this property
This is a unique enclave on the shores of Lake Austin with a private drive that serves only four homes.
What makes this property unique
Welcome to our Lake Austin getaway. This isn't your average high-end rental. It's a renovated and well-cared for cottage brimming with charm and years of happy memories. If you're seeking a peaceful, authentic lakeside experience, you've found it. Our location with no neighbors directly across the lake provides a perfect setting for your morning coffee. The water is refreshingly cold for those triple-digit summer days. , and the private dock is fantastic for fishing, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the great outdoors. There is an upper dock perfect for sunbathing, and a lower dock for easy lake access. We have a couple of paddleboards for guests' enjoyment. The area is considered a birding hotspot, and we've loved watching Great Blue Herons, Great Egrets, Ospreys, Belted Kingfishers, various hawks, and innumerable warblers and songbirds. Inside, the living room's panoramic windows frame a tranquil lake vista, which you can also soak in from the wraparound porch. Gather around the outdoor firepit for s'mores on starry nights. You may spot friendly longhorns, horses, ponies, or donkeys belonging to our neighbors if you take a walk on the quiet road leading to the property. For your convenience, the kitchen is fully equipped, and we provide a large capacity washer and dryer for guest use.
