Perfect Cozy GetawayWe recently stayed at a delightful older, quaint home right on Lake Travis, and it was laid-back escape we were hoping for. This wasn’t one of the flashy new builds—it’s a cozy, character-filled cottage-style house with that classic Texas Hill Country warmth that made us feel right at home. We spent tons of time outside enjoying the views, a nice patio area, and easy access to the water. The setting was ideal for relaxing by the lake. The host was friendly and provided helpful instructions and directions to the home.

Thank you so much for your feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at the lake house! I apologize for the spider webs. I have already spoken with our cleaning crew to ensure they pay closer attention to these details moving forward. We hope to host you again sometime soon.

We enjoyed the funky lake house. The kitchen was stocked for our needs. Good communication with the host when we needed a few things. Could use a more detailed cleaning, but the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. Pulled out the hide-a-bed for use, but it wasn't clean, so we didn't use it. Nice view and good location for our trip.

House was unsafe for us we did not stay the steps and railings were unsafe. The house had a musty smell. We had small children, and it was two unsafe to stay. Vrbo has not taken care of the problem. The property owner tried to immediately give us another location and give us a refund. I don’t think we’re the only ones that had problems at this location

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Jun 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Guest safety is our top priority. Prior to permitting the VRBO, the City of Austin fully inspected and certified the decks, steps, and entire home structure meeting or exceeding all the latest safety standards. As with most lakefront properties, our home is is a classic lakefront perched upon a hillside, the listing description and photos clearly highlight the steps required to access the home. We understand that properties with stairs can be challenging for families with small children, which is why we proactively offered you an immediate alternative location and a full refund. We wish your family the very best in your future travels.

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.

The pictures were old and didn’t reflect on the current conditions. One kayak had a bee or rasp nest in it so we didn’t use it and the other one had tape on it and water in it. The stairs at the bottom were extremely steep and hard to navigate without a railing. The water machine in the house for hot and cold water had an empty water bottle on it, so we bought our own water. And the tub looked like it would have jets didn’t have any, it was a regular tub. The master bedroom was described as being on the main floor but it was upstairs with the rest of them. There was only two rolls of toilet paper for our 4 day stay with six people, so we bought toilet paper and paper towels because there was only one roll of paper towels too. We were disappointed but made the best of it.

About the host

Hosted by Corie Goodloe

Host profile image
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.
