Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Parking was extremely difficult. Upper driveway way inaccessible. Lower driveway required multiple stairways that didn’t have rails to access house so carrying in everything was exhausting. House was dirty and had roaches. Property appeared unkept. Left after first night because there was no water.
This property was great. The owners were very responsive with communication and early check in. The bedrooms were very clean and comfortable.The views were extraordinary, and it was a great place to walk around and explore.There are stores and restaurants nearby, which was very convenient.A few comments about the cleanliness: It would have been helpful to have more than one roll of toilet paper for 5 adults staying for Monday-Friday. The coffee maker had moldy coffee grounds. We did need to vacuum the downstairs area rugs and mop the tile floor.These were perhaps just oversights. We are happy to submit photos to the owners if they are interested.
Just what the family needed....Lakefront fun in the sun, we loved the kayaks and boat dock. Our ausitinite friends came over on their boat for dinner. The home was perfect size for our family...we will book again next time we are in town!
Had a very nice time at the house. The house was clean, well supplied and the hosts very responsive to any questions. The patio areas and the views were wonderful. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
Great little hidden away place! Hosts are awesome and quick to answer! Kids had a blast! The dock and kayaks came in handy— kids were on the lake all weekend. Plenty of space, kitchen had all we needed and very clean overall! Thanks again! Hope to be back in the future!
Our stay was great, the family loved it and it will forever be a cornerstone in my family as a place where we turned a corner in life together. Great owner, very helpful. We would definitely love to stay again!
Check-in was smooth and hassle-free. The property is located on a hilltop with beautiful views, and each room had excellent cold air conditioning, which was a lifesaver in the Texas heat.A couple of things to note: the gravel road and driveway can be a bit rough if you're driving a low-clearance vehicle—an SUV handles it much better. Also, if you park on the lower driveway, be prepared for a lot of stairs to reach the house. It’s manageable, but something to keep in mind if mobility is a concern.Overall, it’s a peaceful and well-equipped home, perfect for a relaxing getaway near Lake Travis.
The house had everything we could ask for! Perfect spot on the lake, house had so much room. Our host was very attentive. I can’t wait to go back! Thank you for an amazing stay!

You are most welcome. Thank you so very much for staying at the lake house. We look forward to your next visit. :-)
We loved the home and the location! The hosts are so lovely, kind and warm to interact with. Make sure you ask them for things to do around the area.
I’d definitely visit again and would recommend to anyone who’s looking for a relaxing house!
Had an amazing time at this property, it was perfect for our group. The hosts were communicative and kind before we got to the property and quickly answered our questions when we asked. The property itself is beautiful, and gave us the perfect getaway we were looking for. Thanks so much!
The sunset views were gorgeous. Sitting around the Fire pit and sitting on the dock were both awesome and relaxing ways to end the day! House had everything we needed and was a great location - 10 mins from everything. Hosts were also very communicative and accommodating. Would stay again!
Had a beautiful time. It was the perfect place for me and the Ms. to reconnect and bond. We watched movies , we watched the sun set on while sitting on the patio, cooked good food, had the best wine and just enjoyed the quite in the hills.
WAS NOT WHATVWAS SHOWN IN PICTURES ON WEBSITE. HOUSE FILLED WITH BUGS INSIDE AND SAW A SMALL RAT
Not impressed for money spent for week end get away. My family traveled 7 hours to get to lake travis.Much disappointed

Thank you for sharing your experience. We apologize for the ongoing drought situation and have tried to be very clear in the description regarding the current lake level. We set a trap for any field mice that could have found a way in, but so far haven't seen evidence of one. We also treated for rollie pollies that seem to occasionally appear on the laundry room. Your feedback about the property is valuable, and we'll work on improving things. We appreciate your stay and look forward to hosting you again.
Communication with property owners was great, check in and check out process was a breeze. The house had everything we needed and slept 7 adults comfortably. The weeds around the stairs leading up the house needed to be mowed down to make it a bit easier getting to the house, other than that everything was perfect.
Great Lake home minus the lake. The house was great but the weather and drought limited some of what we wanted to do. I would come again

About the host
Hosted by Corie Goodloe
We have always loved the water and after years of saving, we finally managed to purchase this beautiful waterfront home with perfect lakeside sunsets. We will likely retire soon, but before we do, we decided share our home via the vacation rental system so that others can appreciate the natural wonders of the property.
We don't always make a profit. We intentionally keep our prices low so that almost anyone can afford to stay and enjoy themselves. A five star review is much more gratifying to us than the actual income.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this property because we wanted Lake Travis lakefront with an open sunset view. We also wanted a property that felt charming with a cottage-like setting and lots of privacy. We were fortunate to get something that had that criteria and also had an easy commute to downtown Austin.
What makes this property unique
Property is on Lake Travis waterfront with a nearby boat launch, lots of privacy, open decks, and awesome views of the lake. The property also has plenty of nearby dining such as The Oasis on Lake Travis, Torchy's Tacos, Beachside Billy's, and the Steiner Ranch Steakhouse. Easy commute to Austin since its one of the closest lakefront properties to Austin that you can possibly get. Only a few minutes drive the Oasis, Hippie Hollow park, Zip Line tours, and easy drive to Beachside Billy's waterpark. High speed internet and cable TV included.
