The decks are perfect for relaxing outside or BBQing.
Parking is available in both the upper and lower driveways. The upper driveway has an electric vehicle charger available and offers a steep walk down some stairs, while the lower driveway requires climbing 61 steps but provides easier parking. As with any lake house, there are a lot of stairs on this property. We recommend exercising caution on any of our stairs, inside or out. Please inquire if stairs cause an issue with your guests. Be sure to read our detailed parking instructions to choose the best option for your needs.
Please note that Lake Travis is a dynamic reservoir known for its fluctuating water levels, designed to capture water during rainy seasons and conserve it during drier periods. It has been a couple of years since water has been behind our property, and it is currently a field where the water once was. For guests interested in monitoring the lake's water levels during their stay or planning their waterfront activities, up-to-date information can be found by searching "Lake Travis Water Level". We remain hopeful that the water will return soon, adding to the beauty and adventure of staying near Lake Travis.
Located just 25 minutes from downtown Austin, this home is perfectly situated for exploring the city while enjoying the tranquility of the hill country.

We don't charge a security deposit! Where many hosts charge over $500, and where you as the guest risk them not returning your deposit – Austin Vacay remains guest-centric by charging a one-time, non-refundable fee (already included in your booking price) which provides up to $1,500 of coverage towards unintentional rental property damages (subject to plan terms and conditions). This means a lower cost to book, and because accidents happen, protection against costly charges. Plan terms and conditions provided by request after booking.
Austin Vacay is proud to be able to service Austinites and travelers during these uncertain times. We have taken extra precautions to care for our guests and employees by introducing zero contact entry, enhanced cleaning protocols, and strict covering requirements for employees. We encourage our guests to review Texas and Austin’s travel guidelines and restrictions before making a reservation. We must work together to ensure a safe environment for everyone that enters our properties.

Getting around is quick and easy. The house is situated right on Bullick Hollow Rd, which gives you direct access to FM 620, as well as 2769 (Lime Creek). There isn't much public transportation in the area, so you are best having a car available, but you can easily use any ride-sharing company like Lyft or Uber into downtown and back. We will provide codes in your booking email and in the House Manual.
We also have two driveways; an upper from the main road, and then a lower driveway at the lake level. We recommend the lower driveway as the upper driveway is very steep and is good for only 2 vehicles (NO TRUCKS). There are a maximum of 4 vehicles allowed at the property total. Please minimize the in and out traffic on the lower driveway and close the gate behind you.
