    The property is clean, comfortable, and right on the lake, which is exactly what we were looking for. The included kayaks and fishing gear really elevated our stay. The hosts were friendly and easy to work with: they reached out before, during, and after to make sure we had everything we needed. If you are looking for a place that feels like a family cabin on the water, this is a great stay.

    We enjoyed our time at the lake house. Plenty of space, clean, comfortable beds (big deal to me!) and unique location. It's like others described it - a treehouse with a lot of charm and character and they had everything we needed. The longer you stay the more you love it. It's not a new home but it's clean and the owners/hosts were amazing. If anyone has mobility concerns or is not able to climb stairs then this place is not a good idea because of all of the stairs and steps to access the lake and levels of the home. For our family of 4 with 2 older kids this was not an issue. The top floor is the main floor with a nice sized living room plus a view of the lake and balcony, kitchen with everything we needed and half bath. Our teenager son chose to stay in the sunroom on the corner of main floor which had an awesome view of the lake and was bright and sunny. The two bedrooms and main bathroom are on the lower floor along with laundry and access to the lake. We used the kayaks and paddle boards, sat out on the deck and overall just enjoyed the scenery and lake life. They have fishing gear, life jackets (various sizes), 2 kayaks and 2 paddle boards, 2 grills (regular and Blackstone), outdoor table and chairs on the dock and up by the house. It was right on the lake but about 10-15 min to restaurants and the grocery store! Our experience was positive and I'm glad we found this place! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

    Spacious house on Lake Austin. It was great to be able to walk into the lake from the property and the trees provided nice shade!

    Awesome staycation. My boys really enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing from dock and from kayak. One of my boys caught his personal best bass at 2lbs 10oz from the smaller kayak slightly upstream. The dock/deck is also a great place to hang out enjoying the breeze and watching lake activities. Sharon was very kind and helpful. Will definitely return.

    Love that you can relax and fish right off the dock. The use of paddle boards and kayaks makes daily exercise fun!

    The property is as described, and the location and amenities are great. Reminded us a lot of our own family lake cabin. Not too fancy, but great to escape. We had an enjoyable family time and especially loved the kayaks. Excellent communication! Would recommend.

    This house was spacious and comfortable with great views of the river. We had fun hanging out on the deck, kayaking, and fishing on the river. It didnt even feel like we were so close to the hustle and bustle of the city. The hosts were prompt with their communication.
