About the host
Hosted by Steven and Elizabeth Bricker
The Brickers have always loved modern architecture. After having spent multiple vacations visiting the hill country with other families and making great memories, they decided to build a dream vacation rental of their own. Rather than take the traditional approach, they engaged an award-winning architect, Murphy Mears to achieve a modern aesthetic and incorporate things they wished were in a short term rental but have never seen (such as two master bedrooms). The schematic design and site plan were developed with consideration for the specific property, topography, and views. They even used a drone to identify the best placement for the living space and upper terrace! The Brickers love Lake Travis and the City of Lago Vista which offers tranquility and access to the lake combined with the proximity to Austin, the Domain and tons of great hikes and adventures. The Brickers are thrilled to share our home with other families to make amazing memories.
