Family time
The property provided enough space and separation and well as room for gathering, eating and enjoying the amenities. The hot tub was a wonderful addition. The hosts were very responsive of any concerns or issues. The lake is accessible by car to get to the sand beach or boating. You can walk down a path from the house but its a steep walk down to the water. The kiddo's enjoyed the play area. All in all we enjoyed our stay and I would definitely stay here again!.

Great spot for groups, no access to Lake
Overall a solid spot, was disappointed in the listing saying there was Water Access. While there was access at some point, neighbors said access has not been available in over 10 years and wish there was more clarity around this.

Travis Lake House property
The house was wonderful, property also had above garage apartment and an efficiency apartment, so everyone in our family had plenty of privacy and space. The walk to the Lake was a little far for all the little ones we had, but we managed. All and all it was a great reunion vacation for all our family. We would definitely stay there again.

Loved it!
Stayed here with our bridal party for our wedding weekend. It worked flawlessly. Plenty of space and things to do on the property. We were able to use the upstairs living room as our hair & makeup while staying separate from the guys. Multiple rooms with just one bed so the couples/friends with babies got their own space. We loved being able to hang out with our friends all night without feeling smashed in with neighbors or worrying about waking anyone up. Our family went out on the lake with the kayaks provided on the property and they had the best time!
