Response from VrboOwner on 21 Mar 2026
We take pride in consistently delivering 5-star experiences, so this review is not reflective of the standard we provide. Prior to check-in, the guest was already dissatisfied due to our inability to accommodate early check-in and late checkout requests. Upon arrival, she also shared that she was experiencing an anxiety attack related to the steep driveway, which is typical for homes in this Hill Country lake area. None of the concerns outlined in this review were raised at any point during the stay. This is especially notable given that the guest herself acknowledged we were consistently prompt and responsive in answering her questions. Had any of these issues been brought to our attention, they would have been addressed immediately. For clarity, we do provide body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, and all towels and linens are professionally cleaned and inspected prior to each arrival. After checkout, the home was found in a more untidy condition than usual, requiring additional cleaning time and extra fees by our team to prepare for the next guest. We did not raise this with the guest nor seek any additional compensation as a courtesy. We remain committed to providing an exceptional experience and encourage guests to communicate concerns during their stay so they can be promptly resolved.

The home was perfect, one of the cleanest vacation homes we have stayed in. It was a workout to get to the water but that is because the lake was so low. We ended up renting a pontoon boat for the day and enjoyed the scenery and dipping into the water.

We were looking for a short getaway to celebrate my daughter’s college graduation and this gem was perfect! Very clean and private with so much room for outdoor fun. The stairs to the dock were very steep so not ideal for anyone with mobility challenges but for young adults and active older folks, it should not be an issue. Host was super responsive and friendly. Highly recommend if you are searching for a larger home with waterfront access!

Great house on Lake Travis

We recently stayed here as a family gathering over a holiday weekend. The house is beautiful has a well equipped with kitchen, towels for house and swimming in the River, life jackets, a few games, comfortable beds, large rooms and bath rooms, a spacious deck with Blackstone overlooking the Lake, patio with tables overlooking the lake and a game room. There is a long walk down to the lake with a dock to swim off of. Teresa, the owner communicated clearly and quickly when we had questions. Highly recommend this property.
