Each of our homes comes with a dedicated team of knowledgeable agents that are available 24/7\. Your personal representative is not only well-versed in every detail of the home, but has likely enjoyed it with their own friends and family. They will quickly become an invaluable resource, guiding you to the best experiences and locations tailored for your group. This 5K+ square foot, waterfront 6BR/6BA vacation rental is the ideal home away from home for your Lake Austin getaway! The outdoor space is lake living at its best with two balconies offering lovely lake views, outdoor seating and al fresco dining, an inground pool, lake access, and a double-decker dock to tie up your boat. There is also an additional seating area to soak up the sun overlooking the lake. To add to the fun, we provide a tandem kayak and canoe. The fire pit and hot tub add to the mix of great ways to relax and unwind at this special property. Inside, the house is designed in a traditional Texas style that celebrates comfort and coziness. 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 downtown 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 downtown Austin • 24 miles to Dripping Springs • 21 miles to the Texas Capitol • 81 miles to Fredericksburg Outdoor spaces are not available for use from 10 PM to 7 AM Cancel within 24 hours of booking free of penalty!

Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tracy j. 18 Jun 2025 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, communication 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. ##### Tracy j.
