About this property

Truly unique, one-of-kind, Artsy & Luxurious! Lake Travis retreat for two!

The Aloha Cottage sits high on a corner lot on a little over two acres, on a dead end, across the street from Lake Travis. Approximately half of the property is wooded and the remaining half is an expansive front yard with numerous, gorgeous Live Oaks. (There is one tree on the property that is estimated to be 300 years old. It's a beauty!!) It is peaceful and abounding with Mother Nature. All of this yet still 15-30 minutes from numerous restaurants, shops and some great Spicewood nightlife.

Just down the street, a short 5 minute walk, is a private homeowner's park with a boat ramp, day dock, picnic tables and just about the best lake shore access this side of Lake Travis! The shoreline is a series of rock ledges, allowing for a refreshing plunge off the edge as if jumping into a pool. No squishy, muddy lake bottom! The ledges also allow for shallow water lounging for those who aren't swimmers. It is truly an incredible park that, on many days, you can enjoy all to yourself!
NOTICE: 2024 – Lake Travis is a control lake and the levels change seasonally. The pictures in our listing are not necessarily accurate.

The Aloha Cottage is a detached guest cottage, tucked around back of the main house and has its own driveway and completely private entrance. Step across the checkered patio and into a room with three large windows facing the spacious front yard. The yard is fenced on one side and has a Jasmine hedge along the entire front, creating a private oasis. The cottage is fresh, bright and very clean. The whites, sandy beiges and multiple tones of turquoise create a welcoming and relaxing retreat.

The Aloha Cottage has a spa quality, GORGEOUS bathroom. This seriously cannot be overstated. If you are a "bath” person, look no farther. It has a custom colored, claw foot soaking tub with a chrome "Telephone" faucet set. There is a large glass enclosed shower, a huge, vintage-styled pedestal sink and a separate toilet room. One wall of the bathroom is clad in upcycled pallet wood adding a touch of warmth. It is stocked with a variety of soaking salts for your pleasure. Begin your stay by melting away stress with a good hot soak!

The bedroom features a queen bed with luxury 100% cotton bedding; your choice of feather or Allerease pillows, 100% cotton blanket or down comforter, a cozy coverlet and plenty of throws pillows to sit back and relax on. There's a comfy armchair that's big enough to snuggle into. In the same room is a simple "kitchenette" featuring a table for two under a bright, sunny window, a Keurig, small fridge, microwave and a hutch stocked with dishes, utensils and glassware. Everything you need for a comfortable and lovely stay.

Throughout the cottage, vintage, repurposed and upcycled materials have been used, making this artistic retreat truly unique, warm and very inviting.

CLEANING. We are committed to the highest standard of cleanliness and disinfecting procedures. Disinfecting solution will be available in the cottage. We have remote check in. The cottage cleaned and maintained by the owner and/or one trusted friend only. We do not use an outside cleaning source. We are confident that our cottage will be a worry free and restful retreat from all that is going on in the world at large.

It is truly an honor to be doing this. We love hosting people and hope you have a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Gary and Beth Wilson

Host profile image
Service and hospitality is in my blood. I was in the restaurant/hotel business in Hawaii for 23 years. My husband and I are avid nature lovers. We go on several hiking trips a years and hike in our area at all the State and County parks regularly. We also love bird watching and have feeders of several types to attract birds to our property. Binoculars are provided so you can gaze right from bed at beautiful birds.

Why they chose this property

We are on a dead end. Even with growth coming our way, our neighborhood remains sleepy and quiet. We love that!!
