Lakeside Retreat | Fire Pit, Game Room & Canoe

Summary:

This 5K+ square foot waterfront 6BR/6BA holiday rental is the ideal home away from home for your Lake Austin getaway! The beautiful outdoor space includes an inground pool, lake access, hot tub and a dock to tie up your boat and soak up the sun. To add to the fun we provide a tandem kayak and canoe. A fire pit, billiards, and ping pong are great ways to relax and unwind at this special property. Perfect for groups of up to 12 guests and located less than 30 minutes from city centre Austin.



The Space:

Inside, the house is designed in a traditional Texas style that celebrates comfort and cosiness. The expansive spaces allow you to spread out and entertain, allowing the adults, the kiddos, and teenagers to have their own space. The main level living area is bathed in sunlight with sweeping high ceilings and relaxed seating on spacious sofas. The well-equipped kitchen provides everything you’ll need to prepare simple meals to holiday feasts, and the huge, custom dining table for 10 was built with celebratory gatherings in mind.



We love the privacy this home offers, and so will you! The six bedrooms include two primary suites with king beds and private bathrooms, a queen bedroom with a private bath, plus a private lower apartment, with a separate entrance with a king bed. This suite includes a game room with a billiard/ping-pong table and a kitchenette.

PLEASE NOTE - The apartment downstairs is not connected to the main house. You have to go outside and downstairs to get in.



Lake Austin is a controlled body of water in the Hill Country so water levels are always high. While the house is its own attraction and your personal resort for the duration of your stay, you are less than 30 minutes from the heart of city centre Austin and close to plenty of attractions just outside the city.



• Less than 10 miles from Hill Country Galleria

• 13 miles to Lake Travis Zipline

• 22 miles to city centre Austin

• 24 miles to Dripping Springs

• 21 miles to the Texas Capitol

• 81 miles to Fredericksburg

A wonderful property. I would stay here again. Our extended family stayed at this property for Mother’sDay weekend. The weather was beautiful, but it was a little chilly in the lake. The only problem I had was with the noisy ceiling fan in the room over the garage.

This is a lovely house in a very nice location. The rental management company is responsive if a little overbearing but extremely slow to process refunds. (They say I will get my deposit back 10-12 days from my second request for it which will be 20 days after checkout.) There were some spiders in the house and the owner’s grill (locked) has roaches or possibly a nest of roaches in it. The grill available for guests is fine though. We really enjoyed the property but on balance wouldn’t book again bc of the management.

House was large with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate our family of 11. Multiple areas of the house were dirty- bathroom floors, kitchen countertops, outdoor seating areas and pool.Two outdoor appliances were locked and unavailable. The available grill worked minimally after maintenance staff cane to address but had to be lit with a lighter which is dangerous. There were at least 2 missing smoke detectors limiting the use of one bedroom. Main bedroom on 1st floor- The outside door in the main suite wouldn’t lock and we were unable to get hot water in the shower. Even though we paid the deposit for the kayak we had to call a couple of times to get the code to unlock it. There were no instructions for the cooktop- it took us a lot of time and googling to figure out how to use it. There was no broom in the house to sweep the floors. We cleaned the kitchen floors using towels until on the 3rd day someone saw a broom in the boat house with the kayak oars.

The property was the perfect size for our group of 10. So much room available and the kitchen offered everthing needed to make meals. Cleanliness was good overall but some areas needed extra attention. Loose rock going into the pool was not safe. Lots of shade on the property.
