Amazing time here at this property. It is close to everything you could want to experience on Lake Austin. The management group who took care of us were A+. Your close to great restaurants, rental companies for boats, jet skis, etc.

Family Weekend
I think the property location and size are perfect for a family fun filled weekend. While the property management company did a good job checking us in, I wish the house was better equipted to host a group. We needed a better organized and stocked kitchen. We also had trouble with central air conditioning. The managers did the best they could do on a holiday weekend and even offered to give us a rebate. The house needs more seating inside and out because the beauty of this listing lends itself to just staying on site, relaxing, and enjoying the days you are there! Given this, we would rent this property again if this minor enhancements could be added to this experience!
