About this property

Maison Blanche I French-Inspired Retreat on 2.5 Acres I Sleeps 13

Maison Blanche is a private French-inspired retreat nestled on 2.5 wooded acres in the Texas Hill Country. Thoughtfully designed for effortless entertaining and slow mornings, this upscale home blends timeless European charm with modern luxury. Enjoy spacious living areas, a gourmet kitchen, wine closet, media room, and peaceful outdoor spaces-just minutes from Lake Travis and Lake Austin, golf and fine dining. Just 25 minutes from downtown!

The Space

Maison Blanche was designed to feel like a place you could happily spend the entire weekend. The open, light-filled interiors create an easy flow between the kitchen, dining and living spaces, while the surrounding acreage gives you room to slow down and enjoy the quiet of the Hill Country.

The home comfortably accommodates up to 13 guests across five bedrooms, with four king bedrooms and a dedicated bunk room that’s especially great for families. There are 4.5 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a private wine closet, and a media room for movie nights and rainy afternoons. Conveniently located near Lake Travis and Lake Austin, and with ample room to park a boat - this home was built for lake days in the sun!

Outside, the wooded property provides plenty of space to gather, dine, or simply enjoy a morning coffee beneath the trees. Inside, thoughtful details, comfortable furnishings, and carefully selected finishes make the home feel polished without ever feeling formal.

The location gives you the best of both worlds: a peaceful home base with plenty of privacy, while still being close to everything that makes the Austin area special. Spend the day on the lake, explore nearby restaurants and wineries, catch live music downtown, or simply stay home and enjoy the property.

Guest access
Guests have exclusive access to the entire home and private property during their stay. The garage is locked and reserved for owner/storage use, but there is ample parking on the property, including five spaces near the garage and additional parking in the circular driveway.

This is an excellent property and a really fun location! Comfortable beds, excellent attention to detail, thoughtful extras (like extra toothbrushes, hygiene needs, snacks, a bottle of bubbly in the fridge).Host is responsive, and kind. The property is among the finest I’ve ever stayed in, especially at a reasonable price point. Will definitely book again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Katherine Waldrip

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Kat! My husband, James, and I have called Austin home for over 18 years. We have a toddler and two border collies who keep us happily busy. We love discovering new restaurants downtown, enjoying live music, and soaking up everything Austin has to offer.

I’m passionate about beautiful spaces and thoughtful hospitality. We designed Maison Blanche to feel warm, welcoming, and a little special. We’re so happy to share our space in the Hill Country with you and hope you feel right at home!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this neighborhood for its rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. The quiet, tree-lined streets have an upscale, peaceful feel, while the surrounding acreage creates a true sense of escape. Deer and other wildlife regularly wander through the property, making it easy to forget you're so close to the city. Yet you're just minutes from Lake Travis and Lake Austin, with downtown Austin less than 25 minutes away. It’s the best of both worlds-a peaceful Hill Country setting with everything Austin has to offer right at your fingertips.

What makes this property unique

Maison Blanche was thoughtfully designed for people who want to gather beautifully and feel completely at home. The open living spaces make it easy to spend time together, while the five bedrooms give everyone room to spread out. Standout touches include a dedicated media room, private wine closet, gourmet kitchen, family-friendly bunk room, and inviting outdoor entertaining spaces. Every room was intentionally designed with a mix of comfort, character, and timeless style-creating a stay that feels more like a beautiful private home than a typical vacation rental. The privacy is truly unmatched—2.5 wooded acres that feel like a private Hill Country escape, yet you’re still less than 25 minutes from downtown Austin. Enjoy the best of both worlds: the peace and seclusion of the countryside, easy access to the energy of downtown, and the lake just minutes away.
