About this property

Porches on Travis. An easy walk to Lake Travis, easy drive to Austin attractions

Enjoy a stay in this cozy log cabin with unique and comfy furnishings complete with a true fireplace for the ultimate relaxed, kitchy, fun! It's at the end of the longest cul-de-sac in Austin so you can even hear yourself think (OR listen to the birds). Sip your morning coffee on the front porch lined with rocking chairs and retire in the evening to the spacious back porch and gazebo for grilling, fire pit chats, relaxing in the hot tub, and a game of darts or cornhole. It has a cook's kitchen and additional appliances such as an air fryer, instapot, blender, and more. For chores, it has a full laundry!

Best ever rented

Everything was over and above advertised listing.. even the host dog and the live deer visiting in the early mornings! The wisteria blooming and live vegetables for the taking and especially the abundance of rocking chairs provided on front and back porches! Even enjoyed a game of darts with my brother on the back porch. Wonderful relaxing stay.

Absolutely wonderful stay

This gorgeous and adorably decorated cabin far exceeded our expectations! The cozy cabin vibe made you feel like you were in the mountains while being just outside of Austin. Windy Point is our favorite spot on Lake Travis, so having access to the park was an awesome bonus. The cabin was well equipped with everything you could need for your trip. The hosts were fantastic and the surprise visit from their adorable dog Bo was just the icing on the cake. Our family had a very memorable Thanksgiving. We will certainly be staying here again in the near future.

Lovely place, great location, terrific hosts! Plan to return.

Excellent. Jennifer and Jay could not have been better hosts. Jennifer was very helpful before our stay and always answered my questions quickly, often within minutes. Once there, both of them went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. Check in was a breeze, just as described. We really enjoyed the place! It was lovely, even better than photos showed (don't think I saw the cute little bar set up or dart board on the deck - nice surprises). Comfy beds and reclining chairs. Plus wonderful extra amenities from snacks and coffee provided to board games and a dart board outside (which our family made extensive us of)! The nearby Windy Point Park (which they left complimentary passes for) was very nice also. Only two beds, but they provided a 3rd small cot and we also squeezed in 2 more family members for one night on the couch and floor. Watched the solar eclipse from the privacy of the backyard! Only suggestion would be instructions (like a booklet or something) about procedures (ie, clean up/closing) and operating info for tech stuff like the TV/sound bar, Alexa, etc. My more tech-savy nephew figured it all out but not sure I would have on my own since everyone's entertainment/streaming platforms are different these days. Also we prefer softer pillows, but that's just a preference thing. Bedding was all of good quality, pillows were just too thick for our comfort. Thanks again! We really hope to stay next time we visit Austin!

Hi Heather, thank you for the excellent review, as well as many helpful suggestions! We have already ordered softer pillows 🙂 and are working on paperwork to provide more instructions.
