Welcoming home overlooking lake with forested hill country views

A wonderful 2-story retreat on a secluded cove of Lake Travis with beautiful hill country views. Two large balconies overlooking the cove, and limestone steps going down to the lake. (Lake level fluctuates often; please ask!) Three bedrooms - master includes a Jacuzzi, walk-in shower, and private top-floor balcony overlooking the hill country. The open-plan kitchen/dining/living space walks out to the lower balcony with plenty of seating and a large grill.

Head on down the beautiful limestone steps to the water and a hiking area that leads to secret swimming holes. There is seating on multiple levels to relax, enjoy the nature around, and entertain family and friends. Enjoy a fire or a picnic on the patio just down from the house. Jump right in the water for a swim or paddle around in the canoe and kayak available when the cove is full.
Then head back up to the balconies to watch the beautiful Texas sky. Enjoy the large record collection or watch your favorite movies on the 46" TV while cooking in the well-equipped and comfortable kitchen. The large, fenced-in front yard gives a nice contrast to the back area.
Here, you get all the pleasures and relaxation of hill country living, but you're just a short drive from thriving Austin with its vibrant music scene and endless opportunities.
*Note that Lake Travis fluctuates through the year depending on rainfall. Check current lake levels or reach out to find out the current level behind the house.

Cute House!

Cute house, had everything we needed for a quick getaway for the eclipse. Lake bed is dry, which was unexpected given we’ve had so much rain this spring. Curious if it was drained for something. Enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful view

We’ve stayed here multiple times while visiting family in Leander. We’ve never seen the lake view from the house but the beautiful hill country sunrises more than make up for it. The house is clean, spacious, convenient and check in/check-out is easy and contactless.

Great location!

The house was beautiful, very clean, with lots of room to spread out. The contact free check in and out was safe and easy. The location was just a few miles from restaurants, shopping, wineries. It is located on Lake Travis, but the lake was pretty low. However, it was just a short walk to a deeper spot for kayaking.

Great stay

House was awesome. We had a family of 4 with plenty of room. House was clean with everything you needed. The stairs down to the lake was great exercise for the family. The lake was dried up to our advantage as the dogs had a blast and we also hiked the trails off the lake. Owners were very easy to contact and were very helpful to what ever we needed. Thanks George and Sam. We will definitely stay again when in town.

Great time and place, no lake below

We originally booked it to have a house on the lake, the pictures showed water right up to the edge of the house. after booking the owner reached out to let us know the water has been resessed and not at the house, we still had an amazing time and it is still a beautiful property! They just need to update pictures, all in all a great 4/5 stars ⭐ and a great place

Nice Stay!

We knew from the beginning that there would be no water for canoeing but we enjoyed the beautiful decks and views of the gorgeous sunrise every morning. As promised the kitchen was well outfitted and clean except for the oven. We also found baking sheets and bowls that needed rewashing, but no problem for us. The hosts left plenty of paper towels, kitchen towels, condiments and spices, and even a nice bottle of wine-all appreciated greatly. In the master bath, I would suggest placing an extra trash can in the toilet closet to make it easier for people to remember not to put anything in the toilet other than toilet paper. The master bed/bath is lovely and very large with lots of storage space and nice, new fluffy towels. The other bedrooms were fine as well, except the sleeping surface in the first bedroom was very, very hard. Thank you to our hosts for the extra mattress in the office space. We found our hosts to be very helpful and responsive to us. The home is perfect for a large family such as ours and we would definitely stay in this wonderful home again.
