Cliff side Oasis

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Perch on the expansive 1,200 square foot deck shaded by mature oak trees and take in expansive Hill Country views at this four-bedroom cliffside house on the banks of the Pedernales River arm of Lake Travis.

Your single-story rental boasts 2,364 square feet of gorgeous living space with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a hammock. The grand living space features exposed ceiling beams and stylish furnishings. Sprawl out on two sofas and armchairs for relaxing gatherings surrounded by the valley's natural beauty viewable from the floor-to-ceiling windows lining the exterior wall of the home. Enjoy game night in the family room on the complimentary 12’ shuffleboard, use the complimentary dry-erase easel for Pictionary, or take advantage of the Starlink internet to play games on your phones together! The well-equipped kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops and an island with seating for guests - perfect for chatting with the chef! Gather for a feast paired with Hill Country views at the dining table.

The large, fenced yard is great for kids! Fire up the gas grill and dine alfresco at the table on the sprawling deck, or set a charcuterie board on the gazebo bartop overlooking the cliff-side of the river. Savor a drink at sunset under the string lights; it's extremely peaceful and beautiful in Hill Country.

Once the sun sets, cozy up around the gas firepit and relax under the country stars. Enjoy new patio furniture under the gazebo surrounded by mosquito netting.

The main suite is a crown jewel with a TV, wraparound views of the valley through floor-to-ceiling windows, and an en suite bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. An equally indulgent second bedroom boasts bluff and valley views.

Savor local flavor at Spicewood Vineyards and Stone House Vineyard tasting rooms - both located close to home. A prime location with over 18 nearby wineries and vineyards in this lush, secluded area just 32 miles from Austin.

Spring Break 2025 w/ 6 kids!

Wow! This house was awesome! We stayed for almost a week with our 6 kids and grandma over our spring break. Home was super spacious and kids loved the bunk room with the unexpected toys. Adults loved the extra living space outside the most! The master was spacious enough for us plus a pack-n-play for our baby. The kitchen is fully equipped with whatever you need, spacious pantry, etc. We chose this home because it was in between marble falls and austin and it was about the same distance both ways to where we were going. When we were at the home it was so peaceful. The views are amazing, even with the lake/river dried up. Just a great location to get away from it all. Couple of things i wished the home had because i left ours at home were a drying rack for clothes and some hangers. Also in the secondary bedroom next to the kitchen there wasn’t a dresser in the room so grandma had to keep everything in her suitcase on top of the drawer-less desk. When we arrived there were a lot of lights burnt out in the high ceiling making it pretty dark. The customer service line was super helpful and they had someone come out and change the bulbs the next day. I was surprised at how quickly they responded and had someone fix the issue so that was great! Overall this is a great home and we would definitely stay again!! We were sad the week flew by so quick!

Excellent, but bring your own hangers.

Beautiful, clean, great baths and bedding, fully stocked kitchen, fabulous view, heat and water and a/c just fine. THREE HANGERS FOR SIX PEOPLE. Our contact said, "most people bring their own hangers to rental properties." Well, no. But a tiny problem in an excellent rental house.

Wonderful stay with family and friends

We had a great time at the cliffside oasis. The deck lived up to the pictures and enjoying coffee while sitting outside looking out over the cliff was a highlight for me. My family loved playing shuffleboard and the large dining table gave us plenty of room for game nights. The property has a great layout and everyone had lots of space to relax, hang out, or retreat. We would recommend this property and happily stay here again.

Perfect house with a perfect view in Spicewood, Tx

We couldn’t find any fault at all with the house, it was perfect! Everything the was spotless! The size of the rooms and bathrooms were large enough to allow us plenty of room for our luggage and extras while traveling. Everything was well taken care of! They had a shuffleboard and the patio was not only huge with a great view but had plenty of seating and a fire pit. The directions on using the amenities of the house and having everything labeled was so helpful to us. We will definitely rent this house again in the near future!

Fantastic stay

Our family really enjoyed everything this spacious home had to offer. The lawn and backyard areas down to the dock were freshly mowed and cleared allowing for easy access to the dock and river. Would definitely like to return with better water levels but that’s on Mother Nature. Fully stocked and spacious kitchen with every tool and kitchen necessities one could want for meal preparations. 10/10 would definitely book again.

Solar Eclipse Weekend

Our group of seven adults had a wonderful time, and felt very lucky to view the eclipse from the front lawn of Cliffside Oasis. The location is very quiet; you definitely feel you are out in the country. Believe the reports of low water levels, which didn’t impact us but would be disappointing for anyone who was hoping to boat or swim. We cooked all our meals and found the kitchen to be well-equipped. The gas grill was very handy. We would return to this location again.

New Year getaway

The best part about this property was the view and open concept. Was disappointed with a few things. Especially since this was not a cheap rental. Lighting is terrible out front. We drove in late and there was no lighting. Thankfully, our phones have flashlights (not easy to hold up your phone while lugging luggage and groceries). We had to reach out to the property manager about the front lights not working. We couldn't access the ones in front of garage (door is locked) and after they gave us the code for the utility closet. We had to replace bulbs ourselves. They have some solar lights towards the door but most were broken or just no longer worked. The back deck string lights are also solar so didn't work most of our stay given there was overcast. We couldn't find the switch to turn on the lights that run in between the back trees. The way down to the boat dock is extremely dangerous and nerve-wracking. Some railing was missing and steps bent. We had to basically bring all items (salt, oil, hand and dish soap, toilet paper, etc). Most properties we have rented before always have the basics (oil, salt, pepper, soap, toilet paper, etc.). Again given this property was an expensive rental, you'd think these basic items would be provided. Property management was responsive and kind. There was a mixup with the pack-n-play. Had reached out days before to confirm they had one for our toddler. They confirmed they did. Upon arriving, they did not have one. Staff was apologetic for the mix-up. Thankfully, they had an extra toddler size mattress we were able to use for our toddler. House was spacious enough for the entire family. Bathroom locks didn't work well. We had to take trash out, take bedding off, and put a load of towels in the wash before departing. Again, not a big deal. But when you're paying to getaway... You'd think the property management would handle those things. Especially, given the cleaning fee is crazy. Hope the improve as the property was nice. We enjoyed spending the time as a family. Mostly playing games and chatting. Calm and quiet spot.

A great place with a great location!

We rented this house to be close to family at Christmas, it was one of the best looking places available as many are small or farther away. The house lived up to the descriptions, very clean and easy to get in with the keyless lock and excellent communication. The house has four real bedrooms with three full baths. The only problem that we had was burned out bulbs in the front (or a hard to find switch!) and we could not turn on the lights on the deck, but we really did not need those for this trip. Overall very nice and one of the best Airbnb rentals I have had with the description truly matching the space. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Great gime

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a between holiday get together. First in 7 years. The property is wonderful. Plenty of room for the 9 of us. Well equipped for basic cooking and deck space. Had a GREAT time. The only things where upon arrival the smoke alarm was chirping which upon a call the told us they would TRY to have someone come out, which happened after 10:00 PM. (These batteries need to be changed with the time change as we all know). Also there is some screws sticking up on the deck that need to be tended to. Upon entry there where no light to guide entrance and the landscape trim at the entrance is pulled up and causes a trip hazard (we placed a rock on top to make it noticeable. The entrance zone could use some attention and regular cleaning and light. Would we go back? Absolutely!It is a GREAT place with plenty of room and a wonderful view of the water.

Spicewood stay

Overall, the house layout and accommodations were excellent. Plenty of space and deck overlooking lake was tremendous. We experienced three issues during our stay. 1) TVs didn’t work, 2) front door lock was out of battery so we couldn’t use that front entrance (used garage through code), and 3) the house had a gnats issue - gnats in kitchen sinks and bedrooms. The representative (Sara) was very responsive all weekend trying to resolve the problems. They didn’t get resolved, but she consistently stayed on the issues.

Overall recommend, few details that need to be improved.

The property is great and using the dock is great. The deck is wonderful and the location is amazing! However, it was not listed in the details that paper towels, trash bags or kitchen basics (foil, plastic wrap) would NOT be supplied. When trying to obtain these supplies a support person was sent out but they never showed up. An additional code to a closet was given but there was no extra supplies that were needed in that closet. We ended up buying all supplies ourselves. Also no additional toilet paper beyond 2 rolls per bathroom was provided. Also the thermostat was not actually able to be controlled, as we would set to lower temperature at night and it was reset back to 76 degrees and we would wake up sweating- this does not seem okay when it is 90-100 degrees outside. The grill outside had no grease pan and there was grease leaking down by the propane source- when first turning on the grill this was a major fire hazard. Again, the property is great but when you are paying a lot of money you expect things to be a certain way and they fell a little short. I also think early check in should be available.

Panoramic views!

Pros: nice large deck overlooking the river, spacious living area and bedrooms, well stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, quiet, propane grill, tabletop shuffle board, great for our group of 5 retirees. Cons: AC controller programmed to continually reset temperature to 76 degrees, one bathroom missing a shower rod & curtain that was never resolved even though we notified the management company several times and were promised the issue would be addressed so the shower was useable wiithout flooding the bathroom.

Nice house, good location, just a few notes

Nice house, spacious, and beds were all comfortable. Patio was great. Beautiful view. Kitchen was large but a really odd design. We kept having to step aside to get to basics because of placement of fridge, vs. trash, vs. sink, vs. stove. With more than two cooks, this would become annoying. The photos didn't make it clear to me the bunk room shares a bathroom with the second king bed, while the queen bed gets it's own bathroom. That was disappointing. All the reviews were clear about the stairs to dock, but not showing photos is a bit disingenuous. Half of our group never even went down due to the lack of handrails. There's a home being built next door, so don't plan to sleep in. Which you won't do anyway, because of the accent windows in the bedrooms that flood the rooms with light very early. The really odd thing was a total lack of cleaning supplies. There was bird poop on a window and bugs in the large window sills that I would've liked to have cleaned. But there was not even counter top cleaner. Until we picked up 409 we were having to soap the island down and then wipe it down after messy meals. We even ran out of dish detergent. As for local stuff, we rented a boat from Briarcliff Marina for a day and went to a winery another. Great location for those things.

Great house with pretty views

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is very nice, had a great layout and was very comfortable and clean. One issue in the kitchen was the dishwasher. Be careful when opening it, as the door is very heavy and comes flying down with speed and can easily injure whoever is in the way. I would also note that this is not really a kid friendly property. The house sits on a cliff (which makes for beautiful views), but the walk down to the water is not suitable for small children. Overall we were pretty happy with our stay, and would consider staying there in the future.

Beautiful lake house right off Lake Travis

My extended family and myself rented the house to host our annual family vacation because we have never been to Lake Travis. Pros of property: beautiful home and location, deer in the area, spacious home with enough space for extended family to stay comfortably, Briarcliff Marina allowed for boat and/or jet ski rentals and to be taken straight to the house dock from them. The location is wonderful— close enough to all the things we wanted to see such as Hamilton Pool, Barton Springs pool, downtown Austin, the Oasis, etc. The cons for me would simply be the walk down to the dock is a literal cliff with stairs going straight down. The website simply says a “steep climb down.” This could seriously be misleading to someone with many kids to haul down, elderly or disabled people. We would definitely rent this home again and enjoyed our stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The views and river access were great and we had a great time. There were a few concerns with the cleanliness of some items. The gas grill appeared to not have been cleaned in some time. The burner covers were very dirty and had to be cleaned to get the back burners to light. Also the grill grates were very dirty and the grill brush was not useful as it was very dirty as well! The oven inside the house had burnt food on the back wall and bottom. The plate covering the dishwasher bottom came off and we could not replace it as a bolt was missing. The outside of the door to the back deck was very dirty.
