Lake Austin Million Dollar Lake views Mins to Downtown

Loved the vibe. Such a fun place

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Lake House. Was not too far away to get downtown, or hard to find the house. Everything needed was accessible and clean. I recommended looking through their guidebook as we found some cool spots. Overall an amazing experience and a gorgeous view.

We enjoyed some nice, peaceful down time. The view was wonderful from the inside and out.

I stayed at this house last week. This is an old house in desperate need of maintenance. I recalled a line from Clueless liking the house to a Monet painting, it looks nice from afar, but the moment you get up close it’s a big old mess. The foundation is questionable at best, there is a hump in the floor as you walk from the front to the back, the tile is cracked and not level at the toilet in the bathroom due to it, and the sink is pitched forward. I could not stand my electric tooth brush up because of it. None of the furniture is comfortable, the bed felt like it was 20 years old straight off of a sofa bed. The dining table has 45 minute chairs like restaurants. The sofa and love seat felt caved in. The deck is precarious to get down to due to the angle and lack of railing on one side. There is junk all around the deck in the trees and old stuff under the deck that you can see once you walk down. There are broken chairs with the bottoms completely missing on the deck with pillows full of holes on top. The lower deck furniture is sagging. There is peeled and cracked paint all over the place from the walls to the window sills. Old dirty caulk and a sagging discolored drop ceiling where the living room meets the rest of the house. Kitchen was poorly equipped for anyone cooking. The amount of things covered up to disguise their personal items was weird with locks and labels everywhere to not touch. I felt surveilled the entire time I was there

Outstanding property. Exactly what i needed

It was perfect spot for a weekend

signs and locks throughout the home to not use. Food in refrigerator and freezer for the owner a bit off putting. conflicting check-in times, sent message to owner for clarification . A different person replied. Accidentally showed up at one time, cleaning crew still there. Owner sent sharp message back. We felt very unwelcome like we were an imposition. Skolie in front of property with broken window boarded up with cardboard and sign for rental. Dead insects in window sills just after cleaning crew had been in property.

Great stay with amazing views

We had a great time there. The view is amazing.

From the beginning of our experience, it was absolutely awful. The host was aggressive and rude.We were in town for Formula 1 with a client and let the host know this beforehand. We traveled to our event in a U-Haul truck, and she started threatening to call the police because that's what we pulled up in. She is screaming about an HOA that doesn't exist. Fun fact her neighbor attende my event and had quite a bit to say about that situation. Mind you there literally a trashed bus parked in front that has a for rent sign on it. Picture attached. The house was gross. The co pot had old moldy coffee in it. The bed was covered in dog hair. They failed to mention that they actually lived in this house so there was absolutely no room in the freezer to store anything and there was one shelf in the fridge. We rented the space for 5 days. Everything was padlocked and had do not touch signs on it. If we had known they lived there, we would have never rented the space. It is not a getaway cabin at all. We had four people who were planned to stay at the house, but there was so much pet dander that I had to pay 1100.00 to get a hotel room for the other two guests because everything was sold out. She let me know that her house was worth 3, then threatened to charge me thousands of dollars if I messed with her because she was a world-renowned DJ and knew how events worked. It was insane! I have video proof and texts to prove everything I say.

House was very clean and in a great location. Peaceful and serene. View was gorgeous. Thank you

Excellent lake view! Easy check in process and great communication from host.

Beautiful location and such a serene setting.

Place was clean and the views were amazing

great view & location my sons loved it

The view was absolutely stunning, and the house itself was beautifully decorated and very clean. We appreciated the thoughtful touches in the space and the overall aesthetic.However, several aspects of the stay made it difficult for us to fully relax. Since the hosts live in the home most of the time, there were quite a few personal areas that were off-limits, many with signs warning that alarms would sound if covers were moved. This made the space feel more restrictive than we expected.Additionally, while the thermostat had a sign indicating we could adjust the temperature within a set range, it was locked, which was confusing and a bit frustrating. The house manual was helpful in providing guidelines, but there were an overwhelming number of rules, many with strict instructions and warnings about potential charges if anything personal appeared “tampered with.”We don’t mind tidying up before departure, but the expectations were extremely specific—down to returning items to their exact location, stating they had photos as reference. This level of detail, combined with the tone of the manual, made the experience feel more like staying in someone’s private home than in a rental meant for guests.Overall, while the property itself was lovely, the strict rules and atmosphere made it hard to feel completely at ease.

My granddaughter and I had the best time staying here. With floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area, we had a perfect view of the lake. We enjoyed our walks throughout the pretty neighborhood. The host was very attentive and the house was clean and tidy. We would definitely stay there again!

The home was exactly what we needed. If you are looking for a quite little getaway with the ability to hit the city and all the great restaurants this house is perfect. Tucked away with views to die for. Thank you

Had a great time staying at this beautiful gem! Views are hard to beat. The house is very clean and everything was working as intended. No issues getting in or anything else. Casey is a great host and provided us with everything we needed!

Quiet stay and pretty views.

Great place! My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing, quiet weekend together in this lovely home. The views were amazing! Everything was as listed. Casey was a wonderful host.

The lake house was perfect again, this was my second time staying here. It was exactly as advertised , beautifully decorated, peaceful, and those views are the best I’ve seen! It's a great place to relax, be close to the city. I made a beautiful dinner at the house and ate by the firepit on the beautiful large deck. Felt like I was in a movie! Charming, peaceful, and exactly as advertised. Thank you again can’t wait to come back!

Everything was great! The owner was very communicative and the house was clean and the rules were clear. I will definitely recommend friends!

As I mentioned previously with the host and VRBO customer service, it is VRBO's policy for the homes we rent not to be the owner's primary residence. That was not the case with this home. If you are comfortable with personal things in the home including perishables in the refrigerator and locked doors and cabinets, this is a home for you.

My husband and I booked this home for a weekend trip to getaway during our anniversary vacation. My hubby can be difficult to please but couldn’t stop complimenting the choice I made on this house! We enjoyed the views of the lake and the location was beautiful, with plenty of great food and parks nearby to try.

Credit where credit is due, the location and view of the lake is great, and the house is very cute HOWEVER this is not the VRBO you want if you want to 'make yourself at home' there were so many rules to read through before the stay, and the owner freaked out when my fiance came to look at the place for 15 minutes maybe she thought he stayed there? I don't know but I never had more than the capacity of people at the house anytime, she proceeds to send me screenshots of every person that walked in front of the camera which is why it hard not to feel constantly watched, after the stay she tried to charge me over 300 dollars extra because there were 6 people which was not true at all! Don't plan on being able to actually enjoy the lake unless you don't mind the longer than 15 minute walk through the neighborhood, down flights of rocks steps. I brought paddle boards but there was no way I was hauling those down there, funny they already have paddle boards down there but don't expect to be able to use them as guests as there's nothing that says you can. No wonder this was one of the only VRBOs left before ACL fest, don't plan on cooking in there either, pretty much all utensils are locked up,

Amazing views

The home was lovely and the view was beautiful. Communication with the owner was so easy and the check-in and check-out process was very easy.

Clean, comfortable, peaceful. We felt very relaxed there. Host was friendly and responsive. Beautiful quiet neighborhood. Lake access is about a 20 minute walk through the neighborhood, then down a trail. We loved the walk.
