    Our stay here was fantastic! A beautiful, quiet spot on Lake Austin with plenty of space and beds. Huge yard and everything you need for a great weekend.

    Absolutely a perfect place for family and friends to gather rest under the gorgeous pecan trees and relax on the lake. We only left to get groceries once you check in kick off your shoes and soak the beauty of the scenery. The deer running around give an added bonus!

    This property was a great fit for our group, in a great location, and Ann was a great host. She was excellent at communicating, responding to questions/requests, and doing her best to address any questions we had. Being lakefront on Lake Austin doesn't get any better. Would definitely stay again!

    Plenty of beds and space for a large group. The backyard is great for outdoor lawn games and activities in the river.

    If you love Lake Austin like we do then you're willing to overlook a lot for location, location, location. :) The house itself is super dated and not for someone who needs the newest and best.. but if you want prime location then that's what you're paying for. The house manager was friendly and helpful with the couple of questions I had and the neighbors were very sweet.. honestly it had everything we needed and even more (cornhole, floats, blenders, spices, etc..)

    As advertised, the land and view are beautifully serene. The lawn, shaded by tall pecan trees, gently slopes down to the lake, with the view looking across to the Balconies Canyonland Preserve. The shade and the breeze (and the water!) make for a very comfortable setting even in the 100 degree heat of the Austin summer. The house itself, however, is more of a camp than a retreat. Rustic in this case means unkept. It does not appear to have been upgraded since the 80's with respect to infrastructure (lighting, electrical, a/c, windows, weatherproofing), as well as furniture, beds, and kitchen. The place also struggles with keeping clean. Cobwebs, dust, and insects were a constant. The driveway is need of repair at the street...my car hit bottom a couple of times. That being said, we've stayed here the past two years for extended stays. We overlooked the subpar housing issues because we wanted easy access to the lake and a relaxing, inexpensive escape for our family. So, if that's your goal, this is definitely the place. If you want luxury, Austin Day Spa is down the street.

    This is our second time staying here. The property is in a great location on the lake, lots of trees for shade. Nice yard for kids to play.

    First time visiting my son and his family in over a year, we booked this property for a much needed getaway. House is older, cozy and furnished like a family vacation house, not fancy but comfortable. The setting is spectacular, gazing out across Lake Austin to beautiful unspoiled forest. The boys enjoyed picking up pecans from the ground, kayaking, fishing (no fish were caught), making smores in the firepit and playing games. A wonderful respite!
