Water was low, but the water access and private dock were excellent access just steps down the bank!
We enjoyed the location and closeness to the restaurant at the marina, just a 2 minute walk away.
I would recommend more warnings about the numerous trip hazards within the home, and the slightly disorienting slant.
Great weekend getaway with all the provisions we could ask for.

Family weekend
The house was as described really nice setting , unfortunately it was too hot to utilize the fire pits hammocks and nice patio areas! It was 105 we did eat on the patio great view. The rule about keeping thermostat at 74 was too high when it so hot out but other than that great stay!

This home was very cozy and well equipped. Everything I needed was available as promised per the management company. The management company was super responsive and took care of everything before I knew that I needed it. The only surprise I had was related to all the add on fees to the nightly rate. I think this is a Vrbo booking issue and has nothing to do with the awesome property I stayed at or amazing property managers that helped me.

Great Location! Beautiful outdoor areas.
The house was clean and nicely decorated. Inside of the house was a little awkward due different levels inside. Just had to be careful at night not to miss a step. Patio areas were great. Not great to have people above as some of their litter (crackers) fell down on our area. But that’s the way with shared properties. Back yard is shared with other properties so dogs must be kept on leashes.

What a dream
Honestly, this place was pure heaven. The house was darling and super well equipped but being water front with a dock to swim off was pure heaven, I would love go stay again. It was perfect for my family of 3 + dogs.

Our Stay at The Nest
Great location on the lake to spend our vacation. We brought our pontoon boat and were able to tie it to the side of the floating dock. We loved the proximity of the house to the water. It is only 35 steps to the water from the back yard which from what I saw on Lake Travis is VERY good (10 more steps to the porch). The house was very clean and tidy! We had an issue with the stove the first morning but they were able to come by right away and get the propane filled. We were a little disappointed when we found out via an email on the day before our arrival that they are very strict on how many people can stay at the house overnight. We wanted to accomodate my brother and his Army buddy from Dallas for just one night but was told that under no circumstances can the overnight head count be over 5.
We would definately recommend this rental!! It will be our rental on our next trip to Lake Travis.

Weekend staycation
Great place to entertain family in town. We live in a small space and didn't have the room for guests so we decided on this rental as a nice way to get all we could out of the visit. The location was beautiful and we had a great time playing on the dock during the days. Also love that it is dog friendly

Great place, very calm, peaceful, clean. Loved the rustic charm and close proximity to the lake front. Great restaurants within driving distance.

Water front…check. Dock…check. Clean…check.
This isn’t a 5 star resort. It is a waterfront house with a dock on a quiet cove in a super convenient location! Clean! All the extras you need (paddle boards etc). Our family had an amazing time, and we can’t wait to come back! Clumsy or elderly individuals may have difficulty as there are a few oddly placed steps in the house.
Parking isn’t great…it won’t matter, you’ll be on the lake!

The Nest on Lake Travis
This is a beautiful rustic house with extraordinary views. The property is not for people with ambulatory restrictions. The stairs to dock is extremely steep. I knew that I would not be able to climb back up, so I didn’t go down to the water. The porch is relaxing and you can sit and enjoy others.
I would rate this property 5 stars if you are now elderly a/o disabled.

Great property but didn’t like having to share upstairs with other guest. When we were on the patio they were right above us and you could hear each other’s conversations. Other than that it was a great rental.

My daughter and I had a great time. It had everything we needed. I will say that there was a lot of hair in the drain in the stand up shower and on the glass door. Other than that, we had a lovely stay!

Austin Visit
My wife and I had a short visit to Austin. House and Location were as pictured and our stay was great. We did not use the Docks so i cannot comment on that, however the back poarch and view were wonderful.

Weekend at the lake
We needed a quick escape from reality so took the family to Lake Travis for an extended weekend. The Nest was perfect for our family of 4. Kids slept on the sleeper sofa, my wife and I were in the Master. The back porch was the highlight of the trip. We enjoyed coffee each morning, and cocktails each night. The kids fished off the dock and even braved the cold temps and tried some paddle boarding. It was just what we needed.

Nice getaway
Property was as described except there were steps up and down between each room. Would not work for anyone with limited mobility. We had a great stay and really enjoyed the porch and back yard. Also appreciated the welcome wine and treats.

Great Birthday Weekend
Wanted to get away for my wife's birthday so loaded up the kids and dog for a weekend at Lake Travis. The Nest was great, cozy, great location, everything stocked with exactly what was needed and more. Fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding each day and shoes each night.
Thank you for the bottle of wine and the great memories.

Relaxing, peaceful long weekend!
Our family which included our twin 7yr old boys had an amazing stay! The kids enjoyed jumping off the dock, paddle boards & we enjoyed swimming in the cove. We met some of the other guest who were all so nice. We enjoyed walking to Sundance Grill for a meal. I made breakfast and we grilled dinner one night. The kitchen was well equipped. I would definitely book this place again and stay for longer than 3 days next time.

Awesome location
Can't say enough about the location - right on the Lake. The home was very clean, master bed was comfortable, sofa-bed was as comfortable as one can be. Kitchen had everything we could have ever needed. The dock was amazing and the it was almost like having your own private cove (sort-of). This home shares the dock and some of the common areas with a few other properties so the dock isn't entirely private, but we definitely had a great time and everyone was good about keeping 6-ft apart. Had a great weekend and we will definitely be back.

Location can't be beat
Absolutely loved this cute spot on Lake Travis and can't wait to come back. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our week at the Lake. The best part was, by far, the back porch that looked out onto the lake. We ate almost every meal on the back patio and just had the best time. The dock was great, although there were a lot of people using it at times. Lots of water 'toys' are provided and the cove was a great place to swim. When we walked in, there was a bottle of wine (we needed it after our drive), sparkling water, breakfast bars and Hand Sanitizer (thoughtful). iTrip reached out the next day to make sure we'd gotten settled in and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Great location and great swimming
This property has the best location! The swimming cove is amazing. Super clear water, lots of water floats and toys. My 6 and 9 year old had a blast! We had our kids sleep on the pull out bed as the little twins beds are in this little area that is in the center of the entire place.... so, both bathrooms, living room, bedroom and kitchen all open up to it. You can close off the living room from the rest of the house so it worked great for the kids to sleep there while adults hang out on the porch, kitchen, get ready for bed, etc....

Wow! Amazing place right on the water!
I was happy with my iTrip experience from the moment I walked in and saw the assortment of wine, sparkling water, snacks and hand sanitizer waiting for me on the kitchen table. The place is incredible with a big king in the master, two full bathrooms, a comfortable living room with pull-out queen sleeper-sofa and full kitchen. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything I needed all weekend. But the porch! The outside of this unit is where I spent almost all of my time. It has a huge porch around 2 sides with doors from the master opening out to a nice secluded sitting area with a chiminea which made a delightful fire that I could have watched for hours. It was a short walk from the porch down to the shore of Stewart Cove on Lake Travis. The cove is quiet and secluded so there was not any boat traffic when I was there. There were several kayakers and stand up paddleboarders floating around. Across the yard were the steps down to a floating dock that had plenty of room for people to relax and also offered 2 SUPs, a kayak and several floats for my use. I had a wonderful time floating around the cove and even managed to stand up on the SUP by the end of the weekend. I highly recommend this place. I will sure be coming back!

Loved the big covered patio
We stayed here for 2 weeks and loved it. Home is very clean, comfortable, and is right on Lake Travis. Loved the big covered patio with a beautiful view of the lake. Didn't use the sleeper sofa so don't know about it, but the King Bed was very comfortable.

Loved the Dock
This place was awesome for what we wanted. Very close to the water with an awesome dock and diving board, along with paddle board rentals and floats. I’d definitely rent it again for the dock and proximity to the water alone! Kitchen has everything you need and there’s a cool outdoor space as well. Only downsides are the limited parking, the sleeping situation and the shared space. We had 4 guys sleeping there and 2 of the beds were better suited for small kids—but we made it work! There’s only 2-3 parking spots but we managed to take some additional parking spaces since nobody was staying in the upstairs rental apt. FYI the dock is shared by at least 2 other rentals and can feel a little cramped when each place has a large group (unless you are there to mingle). You can also bring a boat or jet skis and doc them there, which is really cool! Overall it was really fun and I’d def recommend it to anyone who isn’t just looking for a quiet lake property—come ready to mingle and swim! Loved the lake and the free paddle boards.

Down time
This make year number 3 to visit Robins Nest on Lake Travis. We had another amazing year. Perfect place to just relax and enjoy some down time. We enjoy having the boat right there and not having to load/unload the boat every trip. We will see you again next year.
