This property is very accommodating. The best stocked kitchen I’ve had. Every pot I needed, baking ware, etc. Towels were provided. They don’t give you the cheapest toilet paper. The mattress in the primary bedroom was very comfortable. Anything that may need directions had the directions right next to it instead of trying to find a book with all of the directions. It is a place on the water! We will definitely be back.

This is a wonderful property and you can feel the love the family has for their home. The host was quick to respond and the details of decorating, comfort and customized welcome message made our stay special. Pared with beautiful views and peaceful surrounding, I definitely can recommend this property to anyone looking for a serene retreat. Being less than 20 minutes away from the nearest HEB and the city of Burnett, makes this a perfect balance of relaxation and convenience.

The house is very nice. The master bedroom and bathroom are the perfect size. Definitely the type you need for big groups or families. The view is amazing, specially seeing the sunset. Heather was an awesome host, and she’ll answer your questions promptly. Definitely needed more than one night there.

Beautiful home!

We absolutely enjoyed our Thanksgiving weekend at the Sunset Cliff Retreat. Heather made us feel so welcome and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. There was plenty of room and beds for the 10 of us. The home is beautifully updated with a great kitchen for preparing meals. It is well-stocked with towels, bedding, and all the kitchen necessities. There were games and puzzles available for some fun family time. Great location right on the water. Thanks for a great Thanksgiving weekend!

Nice area

House is very nice. Lots of rules but most easy to follow. Lake is very, very low, but still nice views and area has lots of hills and cliffs and ricks to climb. Sleeps a big group comfortably. Communication easy and prompt. Wifi limited but adequate for light usage and streaming. Enjoyed the local state parks, lots of good exploring and hiking. Limited restaurants but good grocery store in Burnet.

I was looking were to celebrate my birthday. Just have a nice gathering with friends. to be honest my birthday celebration was better than expected and planned. Heather was super sweet making sure i had a good time. The house, view and access to the lake is amazing and comfortable. If you want to have a peaceful time or a gathering with friends this is the place. I for sure would never forget this birthday celebration at the sunset cliff.

Hope to be back!

The property host was always super responsive and helpful leading up to and during our stay. We loved the house. It is beautiful and has a gorgeous view of the lake that takes your breathe away when you first walk in. The location is perfect too. We spent most of our time floating in the water, a stones throw from the house, or sitting on the back porch chatting. We didn’t turn on a TV the entire stay. We also utilized the proximity of the property to other hill country favorites, hiking up about an hour north to Colorado Bend state park for a morning hike to Gormon Falls and also grabbing BBQ at the famous Coopers BBQ in Llano, tx about 45 minutes west. We definitely hope to be back one day with more kids in tow to enjoy the water!

Three family stay

We stayed at this house with two other families with small children; one family on each floor. The kitchen set up is great as is the location with the living room and balcony. Our families were able to congregate and then go back to our spaces for rest. The balcony easily fit our three families with plenty of space leftover to grill. The roof overhang above the balcony even allowed us to grill in a heavy downpour. The view is fantastic and the rain clouds made for a stunning sunset. Heather was very responsive and provided very clear instructions for cleaning up when checking out. The property is well managed and pride of ownership shows. We would definitely like to visit again!

July to Remember

My family and I had the pleasure of renting Heathers home for the month of July. We are a large family of 12 total and there was plenty of space for everyone to crash when they were there. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you will ever need. I was pleasantly surprised to find a water cooler to be able to use even though we brought tons of water bottles. Beds are comfortable and so are the linens. Internet is horrible so take advantage of her DVD collection and bring some from home. We spent lots of time playing games, swimming in the lake, fishing and watching movies. Communication with host was top notch. Looking forward to staying here again!

Great Location - Some Things Not As Nice As Could Be for 10 Rating

We stayed at this lake house for a weekend with cousins and had a great time overall. The living room was very comfortable for hanging out, and having separate HVAC systems for each floor was a big plus—it kept the house comfortable throughout. The host was responsive and easy to communicate with.That said, there were a few drawbacks. The grill was messy and difficult to use precisely, and there was no speaker setup for music (no Bluetooth or Sonos). WiFi was very slow, which made streaming or working difficult. The downstairs level felt a bit disconnected from the rest of the house, and there was no soap in the showers when we arrived. Kitchen utensils were also pretty limited, which made cooking a little more effort than expected.All in all, it was a good stay with some room for improvement. We'd consider coming back with the right expectations.

Hi Russell, I’m glad you all enjoyed your stay. We have country WiFi and the only way to get a better signal since we’re on the lake is to remove the two large oak trees in the front yard. We chose to keep the trees and enjoy the hot summer months in the shade. We also added the downstairs area to accommodate more people and beds and create a living room space. We felt this was a good idea in the overall remodel, when we bought it. In the welcome binder it shows the massive overhaul we created and rebuilt the home from the ground up. Before that, it was a large garage and not accessible to guests because there weren’t steps leading down there. This design also gave us the option to have quicker access to the lake, otherwise walking out the front door would’ve been the only option. We do not typically provide soap, as everyone has different preferences and typically prefer to bring their own (I apologize, I didn’t realize this was a need of yours prior to staying, I would have been responsive in helping you all out if you needed anything). I will discuss the grill not being clean with my cleaning staff, and get that addressed. Thank you again for staying with us.
