Hill Country GetAway
Labor Day weekend stay - Home is in an extremely quiet neighborhood! Loved our morning and evening visitors - the deer! The guys played golf at the Lago Vista course that was located in the neighborhood - so convenient! Snagged a deal for that in advance on Groupon. Since centrally located, we drove to Marble Falls (about 45 mins) to eat at the Blue Bonnet cafe and then did the cave tour at Longhorn Cavern State Park. If you want Mexican food, Dos Salsas is good! We ate in Austin, but there is one in Cedar Park. Helpful tip for using the access card for the parks in the neighborhood - hold the card flat against the keypad.

Nice & spacious house
Very spacious house, very clean, fantastic views and sunsets, comfortable beds & pillows. We enjoyed the deer coming every days to visit and eat. The swimming pool was very clean, the water was very refreshing since it has a lot of shade, therefore, kids were able to spend hours playing in the water.

Incomplete comfort
The location & surroundings were beautiful but the property was run down somewhat . The inside of home had many broken areas. Stopped up sinks in the kitchen, had to use plunger many times. One sink vanity in master bathroom with trinkle of water power only. Tolite seat need replaced in master bathroom. Kept sliding back and forth, pinching ones legs. Dinning-room chair broken. Only one bar stool, not 3 like photo. Not enough outsude chairs around pool or on patio to accommodate 6-8 people. Pool skimmer broken. Had to manually clean pool. No towels in either bathroom. Found all towels in clothes dryer , mostly wet. Had to dry them and fold all the laundry to supply bathrooms. The beds/mattresses were very comfortable. AC was powerful and keep home cool along with fans in each room. Insects/spiders killed daily in multiple areas. Truly not a complainer....but we will never book there again unless there is upkeep, repairs, better cleaning and insect extermination of the home. Sincerely, MBox DPenque

Great for a family stay
This was a great place to take the family. There is plenty to do for everyone. My kids played in the pool all day which has been very well maintained. (Beware of bad golfers who don't warn you when they shank a ball towards the pool.) There is a net up covering most of the pool area but one made its way in the area after bouncing in the tree and almost hit us. Then they just drive off and act like it wasnt them. The lake was just a short drive away as well. The house is very nice and maintained to acceptable cleanliness. It could really use a deep cleaning that gets all the furniture, fridge, oven, and rugs. Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend.

LOVED This Place!!!
Everything about this stay was just AMAZING!!! Such a beautiful neighborhood and the best part for my family was getting to feed the deer straight out of your hand!! Only a couple things that concerned us, some sheets and towels did seem to be dirty and have stains, and my son was limited on being able to play outside the property due to a electricity pole that seemed to be knocked over the and lines to the pole were hanging very low. Other than that the owner is very fast at responding and very easy to communicate with.

Great Place yet Pictures Don't Do Justice!
House was Nice, yet I must admit I was skeptical on booking because the pictures are not great quality. I would suggest better pictures that actually show the house layout and decor. The house is really nice and pictures don't do Justice. The only thing that I think could use improvement is the cleaning. The house is clean and linen are as well, yet a deep cleaning is needed as there were many spider webs in the kitchen and dinning room tablecloth was also dirty. Other then that, I truly recommend this house. The pool was a nice size as well.

Sandra I am very sorry to hear this. We pride ourselves in keeping the pool properly balanced. I have researched what could cause this and it looks like it could be a hypersensitivity to chlorine possibly. If our levels are too high however, we will need to reduce them.

The online pictures of the house don't capture the true beauty of the house itself. My granddaughters were thrilled with the pool & the area surroundings. Lago Vista has several parks available within a 10 minute drive from the house. I want to thank Mr. Ken for the hospitality & we will definitely return next year if not sooner.

Great weekend getaway
My husband, daughter and I had a great time staying at this beautiful home. We were truly able to rest, relax and have fun. We enjoyed swimming in the pool. I loved sitting in the sunroom. We all enjoyed an afternoon down at the lake. Feeding the deer that roam the golf course was a special treat. What really helped solidify our stay was Ken, the owner, who is very responsive. If you’re needing a change of scenery and a quiet place to relax and unwind, you should book this place.

Beautiful views and friendly people, adorable deer, great potential.
The owner was quick to respond to concerns- the pool was cloudy from the trees and rain and he sent someone to clean it. This property was very spacious, fitting 2 adults and 4 kids with room to spread out. The linens were clean, and there were plenty of mini toiletries and extra towels. The washer and dryer on site were handy, though you should plan for the time to dry your clothes twice and don’t let your washed clothes sit too long. There were enough plates and such to eat from, though preparation tools were limited and the knives were very dull. There were a few things that concerned me. First this place is obviously under renovation. Discarded supplies littered every closet, cabinet, and drawer- even in the kitchen as painting supplies mixed with ladles. Second, the floor was so sticky I left my shoes on. Third, the back closet in the kids room housed all the cleaning supplies and dirty laundry from the previous tenants. Finally, (shudder) there were a couple of dead cockroaches. While dead is better than alive, I still made sure I left no food out. Now this is an older home in Texas so you have to expect a certain level of bugs, but still I shudder. Our kids LOVED the deer and frogs that were just steps away. They also loved the cold pool and putted golf balls in the afternoon. Don’t go in the morning unless you have a death wish. Golf balls will come whizzing down the course. One almost landed in my morning coffee as my friend and I were enjoying the cute on the porch. 😆 The property really is nice, it just needs some sprucing up and decluttering. Maybe a perimeter bug spray…I think once they finish the renovation it is going to be spectacular.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Jul 2021
Thanks for the review. I actually had the property sprayed a couple of weeks before your stay. Unfortunately, the bugs you saw were dead and visible because of that also, I need to communicate the importance of shutting the sliding glass doors completely because bugs can get through the cracks if not. Regarding the back closet, and renovation...the home was painted about 2 months ago and the lainter did leave a few things around here and there. I have gathered those things so they wouldn't be visible to more clients. The house does sit on a golf hole and renters should know so I appreciate you bring that to their attention. Thanks again for staying with us...I trust that we will do better by you in the future.

Weekend Getaway
We were very impressed with the home. We enjoyed the pool and watching the deer and golfers. The deer come right up to you. The kitchen is sufficient if you’re not a gourmet cook. It has all the basics. There is no cutting board though which would have been handy. Outside needed mowing and the patio area needed to be blown. There were a lot of small twigs and leaves on the patio and around the pool so it was hard not to track into the house. There was a beautiful view of the lake from the front porch. Would suggest you bring your own chairs for the outside patio. All in all we would definitely do a return visit.

Lago Vista is amazing!
The pictures do not show how big the property really is. Beautiful, quiet neighborhood. View is amazing. Even though we had heavy rain on the first night of our stay, the covered patio was large enough to sit out and enjoy the sounds without getting wet. The next day was partly cloudy but the pool was not cold and we enjoyed it both days. The evening swim is slightly cooler but nothing that you can not get used to after you move about a bit. Kitchen is large. Master bath is huge! Living room and dining area are large as well. Sunroom is perfectly placed to walk out to the pool.

3 1/2 Star Lago Vista Lake House
The best thing about this house is the bang for your buck. We stayed Wed-Sun, the house can sleep up to 8 but is affordable enough for a middle class family of 4-5 to stay there on their own. With a private pool, lake view and on a golf course it sounds a little good to be true. The interior of the house is awesome, you can tell he’s done some upgrades. So for the bad: The patio furniture is a run down and the pool is unfortunately completely shaded. We stayed in mid June and the water was so cold you didn’t really want to swim after 5 PM, which was a letdown for my kids. Because trees shade the whole pool you spend a lot of time removing leaves from said pool. If he trimmed one big branch down it would be perfect. The Lago Vista golf course was my biggest disappointment. Greens didn’t exist (literally completely torn up to dirt with temporary “fairway greens” that played like putting in your backyard grass mowed down to an inch high) but they still wanted $40 for a weekday round which is robbery when there are NO greens. We spent our other 2 rounds at nearby 9 hole Point Venture. Much better. The good: despite it being too cold to swim from 5:30 PM until 10 AM it’s still your own private pool. Deer come right up the patio every morning and evening which my kids loved. There is a small grocery store within 7 minutes of the property, and a food truck park right around the corner from the store. The Venezuelan truck was incredible! You’re a good 40 minutes from the heart of Lake Travis - all the boat rentals and tourist spots like Oasis restaurant. But it’s close enough to go over there a couple times if you’re eager. Overall it was a good, relaxing trip. Ken made check in easy and replied to our couple questions fast. And for the price you absolutely cannot beat it. We’d likely go back. Just cross your fingers for a tree trimming and don’t waste a dime on that Lago Vista golf course until at least 2022.

This home is absolutely lovely!! So much space and nicely furnished. I planned a girls trip and this place was perfect for all 6 of us. The deer are all over the place...so sweet! We wish the outdoor patio was lit better and had seating, but we sat in the sunroom and that worked great! It would have been nice to have the pool available as well.. but since it rained off and on...it was no biggie. Loved it all!! We'll be back!!

Thanks Joy for your review. I regret that the pool was not available, as it has been raining so much, my re-plaster job was quite delayed. But I should have communicated to you that it was not available. For that reason, you are welcome back at any time for a couple of days compliments of me. Just let me know when you want to reschedule....by the way, the pool is now ready!

Beautiful home and surroundings
Overall we had a great experience. The pictures don't capture how great the scenic views are throughout the home, decks, and patio. The weather kept us inside more than we hoped but the deer were endless entertainment for my kids. One of the highlights was having access to the numerous private LVPOA parks nearby that had great playgrounds and lake access. This is a selling point that should be advertised more. The home was clean and well appointed with everything we needed. Ken was accessible and addressed our issue with the wifi right away. My only issue isn't with the home itself but the company I traveled with. I came with a 4 year old, 1 year old and 2 elderly parents. The house is built on a hill, so playing outside was sometimes challenging for the little kids and we couldn't ever really be too far from them because a tumble could be treacherous in some spots. Even the "flat" walkways in the back and front of the house were uncomfortable for my elderly father to traverse alone. Again, these would not be issues for older kids or adults, but something to keep in mind if you are traveling with young ones or the elderly.
