Welcoming home overlooking lake bed with forested hill country views
A wonderful 2-story retreat on a cove of Lake Travis with beautiful hill country views. Two large balconies overlooking the cove, and limestone steps going down to the lake bed. The cove is currently dry, but the water level can rise depending on rainfall. Three bedrooms - master includes a Jacuzzi and beautiful shower, and a private top-floor balcony overlooking the hill country. The open-plan kitchen/dining/living space walks out to the lower balcony with plenty of seating and a large grill.
Head on down the beautiful limestone steps to a hiking area that leads to secret swimming holes and a waterfall when Lime Creek is flowing. There is seating on multiple levels to relax, enjoy the nature around, and entertain family and friends. Enjoy a fire or a picnic on the patio just down from the house. There is also a trail that goes through the trees to a point with consistent lake views and kayaks available on request. Then head back up to the balconies to watch the beautiful Texas sky. Enjoy the large record collection or watch your favorite movies on the 46" TV while cooking in the well-equipped and comfortable kitchen. The large, fenced-in front yard gives a nice contrast to the back area. Here, you get all the pleasures and relaxation of hill country living, but you're just a short drive from thriving Austin with its vibrant music scene and endless opportunities. *Note that Lake Travis fluctuates through the year depending on rainfall. Check current lake levels or reach out to find out the current level behind the house. It's currently dry and great for exploring but may rise with steady rainfall.

We were so pleased with everything the owners where so helpfully and the house and yard was beautiful! Made for the perfect place to get married and say our vows, we did everything in the front yard.
Beautiful property for our family of four plus two dogs! Great outdoor spaces. The house was well stocked and comfortable. Communication was easy! Thanks for a great stay!
We had a lovely stay celebrating my mother’s birthday. The hosts were very nice and accommodating! We will definitely book again in the future, this is a beautiful spot for anyone who enjoys nature and time away to relax from a bustling city!
This was a lovely property. It was exactly what was expected. The host was helpful and available. We enjoyed a relaxing long weekend away with our family. An added bonus was the record player and fabulous record collection. Thank you so much!!
Cute house, had everything we needed for a quick getaway for the eclipse. Lake bed is dry, which was unexpected given we’ve had so much rain this spring. Curious if it was drained for something. Enjoyed our stay!
Property was clean and plenty of space we fit 6 adults comfortably. Views are spectacular. Very private and peaceful home. Property owner was very communicative and helpful will definitely visit again!
We’ve stayed here multiple times while visiting family in Leander. We’ve never seen the lake view from the house but the beautiful hill country sunrises more than make up for it. The house is clean, spacious, convenient and check in/check-out is easy and contactless.
House was awesome. We had a family of 4 with plenty of room. House was clean with everything you needed. The stairs down to the lake was great exercise for the family. The lake was dried up to our advantage as the dogs had a blast and we also hiked the trails off the lake. Owners were very easy to contact and were very helpful to what ever we needed. Thanks George and Sam. We will definitely stay again when in town.
The house was beautiful, very clean, with lots of room to spread out. The contact free check in and out was safe and easy. The location was just a few miles from restaurants, shopping, wineries. It is located on Lake Travis, but the lake was pretty low. However, it was just a short walk to a deeper spot for kayaking.
This was a wonderful long weekend getaway for our family. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The house had absolutely EVERYTHING we needed. The front porch and fenced in yard were the perfect spot to relax or play yard games. The house was beautiful and very clean. And it was so peaceful. It was exactly what we needed.
We originally booked it to have a house on the lake, the pictures showed water right up to the edge of the house. after booking the owner reached out to let us know the water has been resessed and not at the house, we still had an amazing time and it is still a beautiful property! They just need to update pictures, all in all a great 4/5 stars ⭐ and a great place
I have rented this house for the weekend to celebrate my daughter graduation from Southwestern University. The house perfectly fit my family and it is pet friendly with amazing front yard with fence. The house has everything what you need. Great location, close to shopping plazas, house has two patios and grill. The dining area has amazing views. The house is beautifully decorated, spacious enough for 6 people, very comfortable and cozy. Allmy family enjoyed the stay and my daughter felt very special on her graduation day. I highly recommend using this house for get away and enjoy Hill Contry!
we decided to take the family on a mini vacation something different then the routine Destin trip. The property was very nice and quite. It was good taking time off to get away for a bit.The host was very helpful. the balcony was awesome plus outdoor grill. Regretfully the heat has dry out the cove but we were told in advance. Could not work the remote in the living room, internet would have been nice for the kids, other than that the house was well furnished . in all it was a nice stayed
We knew from the beginning that there would be no water for canoeing but we enjoyed the beautiful decks and views of the gorgeous sunrise every morning. As promised the kitchen was well outfitted and clean except for the oven. We also found baking sheets and bowls that needed rewashing, but no problem for us. The hosts left plenty of paper towels, kitchen towels, condiments and spices, and even a nice bottle of wine-all appreciated greatly.
In the master bath, I would suggest placing an extra trash can in the toilet closet to make it easier for people to remember not to put anything in the toilet other than toilet paper. The master bed/bath is lovely and very large with lots of storage space and nice, new fluffy towels. The other bedrooms were fine as well, except the sleeping surface in the first bedroom was very, very hard. Thank you to our hosts for the extra mattress in the office space. We found our hosts to be very helpful and responsive to us. The home is perfect for a large family such as ours and we would definitely stay in this wonderful home again.
Had a wonderful weekend with friends at this cozy place. Loved the views and serenity! Would absolutely book again.

Very cute home! It was a bit dusty but overall great experience! Host was quick to respond and help with bringing over equipment for the lake 🤗 very family friendly home!
Close to Cedar Park, wineries, shopping, parks. Located in a quiet neighborhood near Lake Travis. Enjoyed this house for the second time and will probably stay again. Pets allowed is a plus for us.
