About this property

Welcoming home overlooking lake with forested hill country views

A wonderful 2-story retreat on a secluded cove of Lake Travis with beautiful hill country views. Two large balconies overlooking the cove, and limestone steps going down to the lake. (Lake level fluctuates often; please ask!) Three bedrooms - master includes a Jacuzzi, walk-in shower, and private top-floor balcony overlooking the hill country. The open-plan kitchen/dining/living space walks out to the lower balcony with plenty of seating and a large grill.

Head on down the beautiful limestone steps to the water and a hiking area that leads to secret swimming holes. There is seating on multiple levels to relax, enjoy the nature around, and entertain family and friends. Enjoy a fire or a picnic on the patio just down from the house. Jump right in the water for a swim or paddle around in the canoe and kayak available when the cove is full.
Then head back up to the balconies to watch the beautiful Texas sky. Enjoy the large record collection or watch your favorite movies on the 46" TV while cooking in the well-equipped and comfortable kitchen. The large, fenced-in front yard gives a nice contrast to the back area.
Here, you get all the pleasures and relaxation of hill country living, but you're just a short drive from thriving Austin with its vibrant music scene and endless opportunities.
*Note that Lake Travis fluctuates through the year depending on rainfall. Check current lake levels or reach out to find out the current level behind the house.

What an amazing stay. This property is beautiful, well kept and the owners were so kind and accommodating. The available canoe and kayak were truly a plus and even our pup enjoyed paddling around. One of the top rentals I have stayed in. Thank you for an amazing stay! I truly hope we’ll make it back :)

Great stay as always. I love the lake and hill country views and seeing all the stars at night. The location is convenient to shopping, wine tasting and for us just a short 5 minute drive to our daughter’s house. We will most likely stay again soon.
Beautiful hill country sunrise.

Check-in was easy and welcoming. There was some debris in the cove behind the house from recent flooding, but the host recommended a nearby waterfall, which ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Beautiful property and nice area.

Girls Trip

We rented this house for a girls weekend. It was absolutely perfect. From the porches and balconies, the beautiful aesthetics and multiple bathrooms to the spacious bedroom and living areas, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect house for our trip. The hosts were accommodating and responsive. If we ever plan a trip in Austin again, it would be a dream to experience the stay again.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this beautiful place 5 years ago while exploring Lake Travis. The first thing we noticed were the fantastic limestone steps going down from the back of the house, but we fell in love with the privacy and musical nature sounds every evening. Looking out to the hills from the balcony is always one of our favorite things.

What makes this property unique

We appreciate the security of being part of a friendly little neighborhood but with the privacy of the country and short commute into Austin. When you sit on the balconies, it feels like you're the only ones around. But then going to the front yard feels like you're in a completely separate place with a fenced-in green yard in the middle of a little neighborhood. The house is a comfortable family home but also perfect for entertaining with a spacious kitchen opening into the dining and living area. This home is ideal both for short visits and longer stays.
