Lovely spacious home with great views!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. The home had plenty of room to spread out but also great gathering places. It's not a new home and some finishes and such were worn but clean and comfortable. We rented during pandemic and had 4 adults working remotely and had no issues with the internet. The home is perched high up on the cliff which provides superior views of the sunset each night. You should know that it is a steep climb to reach the dock and you need to have at least a basic level of fitness to do the trek. There is a stretch of stairs that does not have a railing and I would be concerned with small children or elderly. We had many visits from the fox and deer. The beds were soft but comfortable, showers worked well, and the kitchen was well appointed with lots of spices and supplies. HEB grocery store is about 30 minutes away. Community pool is only 5 minute walk from property and tennis courts are 4 minute drive. Antoine was easy to work with and overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Perfect Lake Getaway with All Comforts of Home

We’ve been renting properties on Lake Travis for years, but this is the first one that we felt “at home” in ... the view is amazing and the home has everything you would need! My kids were big fans of the fox and deer friends that came around a few times every day.

Best view on Lake Travis!

Well equipped home, dock, & boathouse for your full enjoyment on Lake Travis. Beautiful neighborhood with wildlife, boat ramp, & nice spot of the water where water is always calm w awesome sunsets lakeside. Owners provide full information about the property and ensure your stay is complete. Would definitely stay at this property again. The terraces down to the water provide numerous spots for privacy and view of the water. Just Beautiful!

About the host

Hosted by Antoine & Annie

Born and raised in France, I moved to UT for 2 years in a university exchange program. Loved Austin and all the various state parks around. Moved back to Europe and made it back to Texas 3 years later. Houston suburb is quite different from Austin... Once the family started growing, we looked for a getaway place for the family to enjoy and found that wonderful place!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property when we first visited it in 2008. It was then removed from market, but owners put it back for sale in 2013. We did not let this opportunity go...
There was not much water back then, peak of the drought, a small river, but we loved it: view, nature, quiet. Foxes were out in the garden when we visited in 2013, and we have since then seen a few generations growing. The lake level came back in 2015, and we enjoyed the lake activities the property offers: dock, swimming boating, paddle boards, etc...

What makes this property unique

Outstanding views of the water and the hills.
Walk down to the private boat dock for swimming/fishing. 2 x Kayaks, paddle boards and canoe provided.
Possibility to dock your boat (shall be discussed prior to booking).
Quiet and relaxing. Lots of wildlife all around, day and night.
Nice walks through neighborhood and parks. Gated community. A few bikes are provided to guests (but guests should bring their own)
On lake travis. Proximity to swimming holes (Krause Springs is less than 10 minutes; Hamilton Pool is 1hr), rivers, parks (adjacent to Muleshoe Bend Park for Mountain Biking).
45 minutes from downtown Austin and 1hr from Fredericksburg.
