The home is right on the water with great views. It is such a peaceful setting. We were there during winter and I can see how this would be a great Spring, summer and early fall destination because you would really utilize the lake. Our daughter lives close by and her and her boyfriend took us out for a boat cruise and picked us up right in front of the home which was great. Lake Austin is beautiful. The home itself is comfortable and the bed in the primary bedroom was very comfortable. I would say it needs some help in the furnishings department as the interior furniture and exterior for that are pretty dated and not comfortable. There is no dining/kitchen table, just 3 barstools so that pretty much dictated that we did no cooling except for coffee in the morning. There were a few other items that were a bit annoying but that could just be lack of the owner knowing and they weren't a deal breaker. All in all it was a nice place with a great location. We went to Civil Goat every morning for coffee/breakfast and we loved Patritzies the Italian place right nearby as well. We took a walk in Commons (nature preserve area that is so beautiful, with trails in the trees and along the water.) Absolutely a must if you're staying in the area. Neighborhood walks were also great. We stayed out here because our daughters lives a few streets away but this is about a 20-25 minute drive into downtown Austin. For us, it was the perfect location and for anyone wanting a change of scenery.

We enjoyed the vacation very much. The location of the house directly on Lake Austin is excellent.
We also liked very much that you can use the canoe and the paddle board. The area is quiet, the equipment of the house very good. Everything very clean and uncomplicated. We can really recommend it.

Very good communication all around. Very easy checkout process. They don't make you wash everything and do all of the cleaning before leaving like some do. The house was very clean when we arrived. We loved that there was every appliance, full kitchen, and stocked bathroom so we didn't need to go put and buy every little thing! The views were amazing!!Great place to stay all around!

Quiet and right on the water. King bed was comfy. Stays a little too warm at night for my liking, but would stay again. And bring my travel fan. 🙃

Location was great. Peaceful setting right on the water. Could use some overall updating and better dishes/cups/cutlery, but kitchen was well enough stocked for a short stay. Patio fans didn't work for us and there were no trash bags left, a quick text / response to and from the mgmt company made them aware.

Super clean. Super cute and modern! Relaxing by the water, or cooking/grilling dinner—totally enjoyable! We want to come again next year!

Only had 2 issues 1) listing says it sleeps 8 but it’s 2 bedrooms so don’t recommend for people who want privacy. 2) AC keep resetting to upper 70s which in the Texas heat was quite annoying. Otherwise great location near lake Austin. Nice and clean.

I like this place a lot. Incredible views and a quiet neighborhood. What prevented me from 5 stars is that the place didn't seem as clean as others - particularly the floors and counter tops. However, the views were stellar and I would consider this place again.

Short Fall 2021 visit to this quaint area, loved every bit of it and highly recommend. We rented a boat from a local business and met them at the marina to get it for about 4 hours. The property was quiet, pleasant, beautiful, and well kept. Also enjoyed the kayak, plenty of life jackets available as well! The bar down the street was also a good spot to grab drinks and food while catching some Sunday/Monday night football! Loved seeing the deer, ducks, squirrels, fish, and even other boaters show off weight boarding skills! Can’t wait to return to this beautiful area, clean environment!

This rental is right on the water with incredible views! A good amount of space and amenities were great. It is so peaceful and quiet and truly makes you never want to leave. The next door neighbors (also the owners) are very friendly and let us know we were free to use their canoe! All in all it was a great long weekend stay. We stayed here during ACL and I will say the Uber was a bit of a hike but wasn't horrible and we were still able to find Ubers out there! A beautiful little getaway. Highly recommend!

This is a wonderful place for a small family group, and of course, a boat. We pretty much stay in the boat most of the day, but the house is nice. Sofa couch, not so nice. Put the mattress on the floor but still not comfortable. This was the first time we had used that bed, but the others are fine. Hopefully they saw my note about needing a new coffee pot.
Will rent again for sure.

The house was perfect, just as described but better In person. Easy water access, great swimming right off the dock with amazing views of 20 million dollar homes on the mountain top. Very relaxing and cozy, we definitely will be back.

Perfect Lake Lovers Cabin
We are frequent vacationers to Lake Austin and have been towing our boat here from Dallas for almost 20+ years. So, we know the lake well and have stayed in multiple rental type lake properties. As such, I feel highly qualified to write a very favorable review of this property. The home is incredibly clean and dare I say a "fun" decorum style. Everything worked as it should, AC blasted air so cold we had to back it down a tad (usually not the issue in Texas) and the kids loved the bunk beds. Kitchen was perfect and the view over the lake (and our boat) was beautiful. Especially at sunset. This end of Lake Austin is much quieter which we prefer. The lake is appreciably cooler as you are much closer to the dam where the natural spring water is almost intolerable the lake is so cold. Even in July. For my boat, the boat dock was more than serviceable. While I'm not wild about having to tie up to a dock and watch it get tossed by every passing wake boat, it was fine. At night, the area is just peaceful and relaxing. Very little boat traffic unlike the areas down by the 360 bridge where the water is very rough and boats traverse constantly at night with music at decibel levels I have not appreciated since I was 18. I have ZERO complaints and we LOVED this property. My only concern was simply the price. Our 3 night rental cost us $1280 total. But after taxes, cleaning fees, convenience fees and booking fees from Vacasa it added an "additional" $772 to our 3 night stay making our total for 3 nights stay $2052. That is 37% of "fees" relative to the total billing for the stay. I asked for some relief from Vacasa as I felt this to be excessive and I was told basically 'no.' Please don't judge this property by what appears to be 3rd party charges for managing it. The property is phenomenal and I might just eat the additional cost and come back but seriously? Almost $800 in ancillary 'fees/taxes' for 3 nights? It just seems like gouging from my experience.

Property was accurate, not many amenities for using the kitchen, not even any salt. I didn’t want to stock up on my dime for a 4 day stay, and it didn’t feel very clean.
