    Quaint and comfortable lake house. Sitting outside was unbelievably quiet. Enjoyed watching the deer come by each night. Host (Mike) checked in on us and was very nice and helpful.

    We loved walking by the lake. Very peaceful and relaxing. Watched all the deer by the water and in the yard. Our host left his golf cart to use which was so very nice.

    This home is perfect for both brief getaways and extended vacations, featuring a semi-private location with direct access to the scenic shores of Lake Travis. The home was well-equiped with necessary kitchen items, comfortable beds, bath towels, sheets, cleanliness, and a beautiful outdoor sitting area to watch deer meander on by. We were warmly greeted by the host, Michael, upon arrival and provided with pertinent information regarding the property. His considerate gesture of having the home cooled to a comfortable temperature was highly appreciated.

    This is our 4th or 5th (we lost count) to stay at this house. The host always makes sure that we are okay and have what we need. The house is literally on the water so the views are always amazing every time we visit.

    The cabin was just as described in the listing. It was a beautiful view of the water and a short walk down to the small beach. Michael, the host, was very accommodating in answering all my questions and was very helpful. While it rained most of our visit, we did get to go zip lining and play some golf. Overall, it was just what we needed--a break from Houston. I would highly recommend this location if you are looking for some peace and quiet, but still be close to fun things to do.

    Everything about this property was exactly what anyone could ask for if they imagined a get away. It truly warmed our hearts, and our family will treasure the memories made here forever. Thank you so much Mike for opening your home to us! We enjoyed our weekend, and your company. We'll definitely reach out to stay again.

    This is our 3rd or 4th stay (we lost count). We always enjoy ourselves at this property....it is so relaxing. This time we not only saw deer and the large variety of birds, we saw a jack rabbit busy at work crossing the field over and over (maybe feeding his family) and we saw a roadrunner up close and personal in the yard. The views are amazing and we are so close to the water. We sat outside most of the time and enjoyed every minute of it. The lake breeze was great. We will probably book this paradise again maybe even this year.

    Great Host and property. Spent 3 nights during the week and wished we had stayed an entire week. Gorgeous views, lots of deer and friendly locals. Mike (host) loaned us 2 kayaks and a golf cart to get around the property- it made loading/unloading our luggage a breeze. 2 bbq grills (one propane and the other charcoal). Rented a pontoon boat for 3 hours from s nearby company called Liquid Thrillz. Worth every penny! The lake house was very charming and clean- would definitely return.

    The cabin was awesome, the property is beautiful. Mike was super cool, let us use the golf cart, brought the kayaks to the water for us, and let us use his firewood. We cooked, kayaked, ran around with the dog, looked for arrowheads, stargazed, watched deer from the porch. It was perfect.

    Hit the book button. Great host. Quiet retreat!! It was ALL amazing! Clean and well thought out house, great master bed. Lakefront was a magical experience. Swam in the lake, pitched a tent for some R & R while getting some sun and listening to the gentle waves. Private beachfront can’t be beat. Fun yard games! Golf cart to venture to the lake at the foot of the property. My husband rated this experience in the top 3 EvEr and we have travelled near and far so that is saying a lot!!! So much fun! Thank you for letting us stay. Now my husband thinks he needs a lakefront property.
