Overall, would not recommend this property. Pros: unit is clean and as pictured. Cons: (1) the few days before the trip I was hit with a bunch of paperwork. I had to download multiple forms; get signatures from friends, had to go to a store to print parking passes, etc. I feel like this could’ve been handled better, for example having parking passes printed and available at the rental unit. It felt like a lot of unnecessary work. (2) trouble checking in, check in code didn’t work and owner wasn’t immediately responsive (3) the host expects you to wash, dry, and fold all towels before leaving. That means you need to shower at least 2 hours before checking out and start the chores. I understand putting it in the washer and starting it, but drying and folding seems excessive. (4) no amenities whatsoever in the unit. For example you are given what they call “starter” toilet paper (1 roll per bathroom) and are expected to go to the store for any additional TP you require. No body wash, no oil or butter for cooking, etc. Was a bit frustrating. (5) you have to drive ten minutes on windy roads just to get to the unit once you enter the neighborhood. The town it’s close to is very small, and all the nicer lake Travis restaurants are on the other side of the lake. (6) this neighborhood is a ghost town. There’s a restaurant but when you look online there’s differing hours and it’s rarely open. We went to the marina to get a snack, parked, took a tram to the bottom, saw the “open” sign lit up, walked all the way there and it was locked and no one was inside. Upon returning the tram was no longer working. Overall, was fine but won’t be coming back.

Condo unit was far removed from anything. 3 miles of extremely windy roads from entrance of Hollows to the Condo - tedious and time consuming. Condo was nice enough. Pool area was BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. Main pool was small and murky. Lake Travis had much clearer water than HOA pool - very little upkeep. Advertised jacuzzi was not working and management did seem to not care - very frustrating. All I wanted on my vacation was a working hot tub. Northshore Marina does NOT rent water equipment, or allow rented boats to pick you up there, so you need to get in car and drive, and drive, and drive to get any rental equipment (kayaks, jet skis, boats, paddle boards, etc.) on the other side of the lake. So limiting and time consuming. Such a let down for teens and active adults. Would suggest location on East side or South side of the lake for future visits. Northshore might be good if you want to sequester, walk in the hills or stay put in your residence. We were looking forward to activities on the lake and having access. Now know to ask more questions before booking. Lessons learned.

We had a great time staying here and loved making use of the pools. There were some amenities that were missing and would have been nice to have as a family with kids, but the owner was helpful in explaining ahead of time what we would need to bring ourselves (beach/pool towels, camping chairs, etc.). There was a power outage while we were there and it was tough to get a hold of the owner during that and also after we left something by mistake down at the pools the last day we were there. Note that you won't be able to rent boats or jet skis from the marina there at the north shore, but will have to drive about 40 min to get to a boat rental place. That was a bit of a bummer and would have been helpful to know in advance for planning purposes. Would stay here again, just plan differently!

Very warm place. Great view of the lake from the patio. The club house with pools and restaurant is close by, part of the property with good access to the lake. Restaurant serves great food and cocktails. Very safe for children. We enjoyed the stay. Lake Travis is one of the most beautiful lakes in Austin area. We recommend this property.
