As of 9/29/26 LCRA is NOT lowering Lake Austin Oct 12-Nov 30, 2026. Lake life as usual!
An OOO-AHH lake get-away. Sand volleyball, kayaks, Lily pad. Kayak across the lake and hike or check out other local trails in Steiner. Or let the serenity entice you to chillax. Custom built home with cedar flooring and exposed beams. Feels like middle of nowhere but a world class spa & wonderful restaurants are in the neighborhood (Cho Sushi, Steiner Ranch Steakhouse, Farmands has a great play area for kids) Famous sunsets at the Oasis on Lake Travis 7 miles away, and 40 minutes from downtown Austin. We love to see kids (and kids at heart) enjoy the property. Noise is good....kids squealing joyfully and puppies playing makes us happy. We have a fire pit and grill for guest use only and an owner shared hot-tub. (We live next door) Owner Shelly is always delighted to help with your area questions and trip plans. With 2 parking spaces and 1 bath we book groups of 6 or less. Make sure the room configuration works for your group: Two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with a full bed, two more may sleep in twin beds up the captain’s ladder in the loft. (Kids and teens love this space, look at the photos and make sure your kids are old enough to be safe on the ladder up to the loft.) Note - We do not count the twin beds on the screened sleeping porch as bed space. It is an ethereal space to enjoy to listen to the birds in the morning, delight in rain on the metal roof, slip away for a glass of wine….but the Texas heat is a factor so the porch is for hanging out, not recommended for sleeping year round.

    A great spot for a fun family getaway. The lake toys, tree house vibes, and friendly community helped make for a fun and relaxing stay. Easy and prompt communication with owner. Would love to return again.

    Cozy and rustic treehouse-esque on a quiet part of the lake. The kids loved fishing off the pier, paddling around on the kayaks and the steep ladder to the upstairs kid room.

    The host was amazing. Very responsive and friendly. I unfortunately didn’t have time to enjoy the lake because I was busy exploring Austin. Would stay again!

    We enjoyed our stay so very much! My son and I took a mom/son trip together. We loved the sand volleyball so so much and kayaks and lily pad! The house was so cozy and the lake was peaceful! Shelly was very kind and helpful.

    The house has a lot of character and sits right on the lake. Although the lake view from the house is partly blocked by trees, it wasn’t a big deal. The limited boat traffic made paddleboarding and kayaking especially peaceful. The sand-box volleyball court was a fun bonus — we even used it for a game of frisbee!While there weren’t any deer on the property itself, we saw plenty while driving around and kayaking. It’s a beautiful lake house overall.The house has one bathroom and no washer or dryer, but guests are welcome to use the washer and dryer at the hosts’ home next door. Shelly clearly mentions this in the property description. Both Shelly and Chuck were incredibly gracious and communicative — truly the most attentive hosts we’ve ever had.

    We loved this little house — views of trees all around. It was clean, had just about everything needed for a short stay. We hosted a small group of our son’s friends for the day and it was just right for that. Kayaks, float, dock, volleyball, grill — everything g we used was great.

    Home was cozy, nicely appointed and had plenty of space. Outdoor space was great. Beds were uncomfortable though.

    Words and pictures really cannot describe how special this place is. The treehouse, ans our family called it is so cozy and comfortable. Sitting down by the lake at any time of the day is just magical. Shelly is a phenomenal host and person. She worked very hard to get us in on the same day that she had some guest checking out in the morning. I cannot recommend enough staying at this magical, special place!
