2 family WATERFRONT ! Excellent Location-Close to grocery/restaurants

The Lake Shack is one of the most funky and fun LAKEFRONT properties on Lake Travis. This house has 2 complete living spaces and is located in Lakeway close to restaurants, grocery and delivery! Perfect for 2 couples/families/groups, family with older children, or single family. Great property for pets as it is entirely fenced!

You can't get much closer to the water than this! This property has water access all year round as it is on main water channel of lake travis. There is a private dock great for fishing off of. The Lake Shack is how Texas does tropical.

Private sandy and grassy beach area, gently sloping to the water .

2 single kayaks, 1 double kayak and Lilly pad floating mat.

Spend time up on your MULTIPLE scenic patios & outdoor bars grilling out, drinking margaritas and enjoying the view or down by the water or on the DOCK sunbathing and swimming in lake travis' beautiful caribbean looking water. Fisherman: plenty of catfish, bass, tilapia, blue gill.

Close to Lakeway restaurants, gas, grocery, various Food DELIVERY options available.

Boat rentals nearby that can pick you up at the dock, as well as many other entertainment options such as sunset sailing cruises, flyboard rentals etc.

Lakeway is also known for one of the most populous and friendly deer populations in Texas.

Other Things to Note:
Unit features ~3 parking spots in driveway
Softened well water
Central AC/heat runs the whole house with additional personal AC and fireplaces in lower unit.
No onsite boat dockage available.
Occasionally boat owner may come on dock to take boat out.
Nearest public boat ramp: Mansfield dam
***Lake Travis is not a constant level lake - water level varies during the year- please lookup or inquire on current water level and compare to our picture captions.
Because the lake level varies yard will get larger as lake level drops, but even in drought we always have water!
Dock may move to left or right as water level drops. Property is very unique in that it is gently sloping to the water and not straight down 100+ft cliffs like most of Lake Travis.

Excellent Getaway
We had such a great time at the lake! Everything was just as it is presented in the listing. We were impressed with how clean the place was, the beautiful outdoor areas, the opportunities for water fun, and especially the personalize touches like the chalk note and the turkey accessories for Thanksgiving! This property is relaxing, beautiful, and has everything we were looking for. Thank you so much! The guidebook was incredibly useful and we used it to pick all of our restaurants! We will definitely be back!

Stay at the Lake
We really enjoyed our stay. The place is clean with a great patio. The dock is large and our kids loved the Lily pad and kayaks. The area is awesome. Deer everywhere and our kids loved hiking at Lakeway and the Hamilton Greenbelt. The host provides a great online guide to nearby activities and restaurants that was very helpful!

Lake Vacation
The rental was a great set-up for our family, had plenty of space and comforts for all, was clean, had everything we needed. The location was great for stores, restaurants and some great hikes. Rental had great access to the lake and a private dock with roof so not even the rain could spoil our fishing. If our family go to Lake Travis again this VRBO will be the first one we will check for availability, so glad we found it.

Perfect Memorial Day weekend stay
We had a wonderful stay over the Memorial Day holiday weekend with two adults, three kids (13,11,4) and two big dogs. The house is like two apartments in one - one downstairs and one downstairs. Jenelle, the host, was amazing - we had a welcome package with chips and salsa, snacks, drinks - a special note for us on the chalk board and she had already anticipated the life jackets we would need. The house has a large, expansive balcony with BBQ grill and seating, and gates to keep the dogs enclosed. House is unique in that it has its own "beach" area, unlike other houses on the lake that are on steep cliffs. We rented a boat and went on a guided fishing trip, and both were able to just pick us up in our cove. Even with the lake pretty low these days, adults and kids had lots of fun on the water, kayaking, jumping on the splash pad, fishing, etc! Will definitely consider staying there again if we head up for a lake weekend.

Spring Break on the Lake
Surpassed expectations. Welcome sna ks and music on the patio were very nice touch. Enjoyed paddling around the lake and lounging on the patio. Area parks and restaurants were fabulous as well. Picky about beds and those were perfect as well. Favorite location so far. Hope to be back soon. Didn't think we were gonna get our dog back in the car to go home.

Birthday weekend
We had a wonderful weekend. We went hiking at Pedernales and McKinney state park. We also enjoyed a day at the Capitol. I have 2 dogs. They loved it all!!! There is so much space for them to run around outside. Jenelle was also sweet enough to leave some goodies for us for my birthday. We hope to be back in the future. Definitely recommend her home.

Amazing Lake House
This was the perfect location to stay on the lake and a very safe neighborhood. The outdoor patio was our favorite part of this rental. The owner has a Jenga set there that we all enjoyed playing! Jenelle provides a guide book that is very helpful. The view was also amazing and how the house is two separate apartments was perfect to bring along friends or kids. We will definitely be back in near future!

Great Stay
We were in town for Thanksgiving and a Baptism and ranged in age from 86 to college senior. The downstairs was extremely convenient and charming for my elderly and mobility challenged Mother. Upstairs very nice and deck was spectacular. The two small dogs loved the large fenced yards. The owner also was accommodating and had things set up for us to enjoy our stay.

Disappointed
The grass was overgrown, patio and furniture was not clean. There was a bug found twice in the bed downstairs. The only bathroom in the upstairs suite was next to the kitchen. The rooms were very small and no closet space in the master bedroom. Not enough utensils and found ants roaming in the kitchen.

Lake stay
Great place for travelers with a dog. We rented both upstairs and downstairs and having both worked well for us. Close to Lakeway Marina if you want to rent a boat. About 15 minutes to the grocery store although there is.a small market closer. Visited a winery in Spicewood and ate bbq at Opies. Great weekend.

Fantastic!
This was a fun mini vacation for my friend and our 2 dogs. Outdoor spaces were fantastic! 3 separate fenced in areas to keep our dogs safe with large area for them to chase each other and play. Lake was just steps away and it was fun hanging out on the dock. They provide life jackets, inner tubes, kayaks, and the lily pad!! Pictures don’t do it justice!! Inside spaces were great too but outside was the place to be! Shady areas, lots of comfy seating. I’ll be back!

Most unique property, amazing location, and superb host! Can’t say enough great things about our experience. Fun lake toys, excellent outdoor space, attention to detail by our host. So many fun things to do here and had everything we could have asked for in a lake experience. Jenelle recommended a great boat charter as well and it completely upgraded our weekend from a 10 to a 20! Wouldn’t think twice about booking again.
