STAY ON THE LAKE... CLOSEST TO TOWN! Located on Lake Travis' Main Basin with Dock, Pool, Oversized Hot Tub, Pool Table, Home Theater, and 3 Office Setups.Near boat launch and Mansfield Dam

This listing is for the FULL ESTATE, including the Main 3-Story Home & 2-Story Guest House ("Garden House").

The Palms on Lake Travis is an exclusive and privately-owned, gated, high-end, 3 story, waterfront, estate vacation rental home with a 2 story guest house for those who wish to relax on Lake Travis. We are proud to have received more than 129 perfect 5 star reviews across platforms!

This Mediterranean-style jewel is absolutely stunning! This is our primary home. We live here and rent it out occasionally, and we are excited to share our extraordinary piece of Texas waterfront paradise with you! We expect our guests to treat our home with care and as their own.

The Palms is conveniently located lakeside, 1 mile from the Oasis restaurant ('The Sunset Capital of Texas') on the scenic Comanche Trail drive around the main basin of Lake Travis. This location is prime for those who want to enjoy Austin - it is only a 30 minute drive to downtown Austin and about a 35 minute drive to the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport!

Please note that we do not accept bachelor parties, spring breakers, or any party groups. We strive to be a peaceful and relaxing getaway for families, couples, mature friends, low-key celebrations, and corporate retreats. If you desire more of a "party" atmosphere, then another location would be a better fit for your group. Thank you for understanding!

All children are included in the total guest count. If you are bringing a child or baby under the age of 5, you can rent baby gear to make your travel easier at BabyQuip - https://www.babyquip.com?a=4285eb8. They will sanitize, drop off, and pick up things like cribs, strollers, high chairs, toys, and more to make your trip even easier.

Please submit inquiries with your information via the contact form or email for a faster response (vs phone calls). We give priority to VRBO Contact Forms and direct email. We are unable to return all of the calls received. We do, however, strive to respond to written inquiries as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding!

The quote provided is for the full property, and no more than 16 guests, unless otherwise specified.

A cove and covered dock is available to use for swimming, fishing, and sunbathing. Boaters may tie up to the dock with advanced notice. A public boat launch is located just across the main basin from us (you can see it from the property) at Mansfield Dam - it's about a 5 minute boat ride. The dock is shared with neighbors, so you may see others at the dock during your stay.

WEDDINGS AND EVENTS: Please note that, due to our setup, we are unable to participate in weddings or other events with more than 30 total guests. We welcome your out of town guests and family members of the bridal/groom's party to stay with us, and we will make every effort to ensure they have an extremely enjoyable stay in Austin! If you have a wedding or event with more than 20 guests, it must be pre-arranged with a minimum 3 night weekend stay, a contract, and an event fee. Please contact Rodney & Robin if interested.

Our preferred method of contact is the Request Form on VRBO or direct email. We have day jobs and receive too many calls to return in a timely manner. We have found that we can respond to you much more quickly via email.

10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Perfect all around. This was for a long weekend with family. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful. The property was impeccable…even better than “advertised.” All information was clear and recommendations great. The welcome handbook was chock-full of good, useful information. On a 5-star scale this is a 10!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2024
The guest homes are beautiful, clean and well-stocked. We had three couples and stayed in both of the guesthouses. Beds were very comfortable, plenty of linens and many extras! Robin and Rodney were the best hosts! Looking forward to visiting them again. Highly recommend!

Exactly as advertised, hosts are awesome
5 / 10·Apr 2021
The layout is different because there are actually two buildings. That said, the mattresses have foam toppers, everything you would expect at home is in this house so this very comfortable. Tons of towels. We fished at the dock which was quite fun. We built a fire and roasted marshmallows. We got in the hot tub and told stories. We played basketball. We played with the dog. For a family, this place is just great. We have elementary age kids and a teenager. Everyone had a blast. The owners have excellent attention to detail. Everything is well explained. Sometimes rentals have goofy showers or uncomfortable beds. Neither true here. I will definitely return!
