Sonesta Bee Cave Austin Hill Country
Pros: Very nice staff, beautiful bathroom remodel, easy parking, close to Austin. Overall good value Cons: not all of the rooms are well maintained. When we first arrived the lock to our room needed new batteries (waited 25 min in hallway to get into room)

LOCATION!! Lake Travis Waterfront~Pool, Spa, Outdoor Kitchen, Location
This was a great find! Slept our group comfortably and was very clean. Close proximity to different marinas. Outdoor area and sunroom were a hit! Tons of information easily provided by host and host was readily available for any questions although we had zero issues during our stay!

Travis by AvantStay | Waterfront Lake Retreat
Peaceful views from the porch and fire-pit of the lake. The beds were comfy and the host was responsive. Bonus on the daily morning visitors walking through the surrounding yards.

Lake Travis Waterfront Home - 4 Bed, 2 Bath, spectacular views, & private dock
We enjoyed the funky lake house. The kitchen was stocked for our needs. Good communication with the host when we needed a few things. Could use a more detailed cleaning, but the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. Pulled out the hide-a-bed for use, but it wasn't clean, so we didn't use it. Nice view ...
