About this house rental

King of the Hill @ Lake Travis is nestled away at the end of a private cul-de-sac with breathtaking views of Lake Travis, and a one of a kind view overlooking the entire Arkansas bend! Enjoy picturesque sunsets over the lake while lying out by the pool, relaxing in the hot tub, sitting around the fire pit or one of the several quaint seating areas and the comfy hammock chairs on the large back patio and deck.

The back patio also includes a propane grill for all your grilling and BBQ needs (Texans don’t grill, we BBQ). The side yard is a great play area for the kids and pets alike. The outdoor fun doesn’t stop there, the large front yard boasts a comfy hammock and seating areas with a large lawn area perfect for outdoor games and fun, and not to mention the pair of tennis courts at the corner of the street, just steps away!!! You’re sure to find plenty of spaces to enjoy on this 1 acre lot.

Located in the Vista Grande neighborhood, this home offers a perfect getaway for families and adult groups alike, providing plenty of parking for multiple cars with room for boats AND RVs!

This 3000 sq foot home is fully furnished, with a vintage-style interior and living room with an open floorplan and a retro-style kitchen and bar area, including a stocked coffee and tea bar, and let’s not fail to mention the stocked popcorn bar in our retro sun room.

There will be plenty to do with the entire family off the property as well. A few minute drive to the many amenities that Lake Travis has to offer! Rent a boat or jet ski at the marina, book a party boat or go to one of the nearby beaches, including Hippie Hollow, Texas’ only legal nude beach. And with downtown Austin only a 25-30 minute drive away, you’re close by to some of Austin’s many music and arts festivals and some of the best culinary experiences in the entire state.

Whether coming in for one of the world renowned festivals that Austin has to offer or to enjoy the seasonal activities on the lake, don’t forget to check us out for the holiday season when we offer off season rates and offer a fully decorated house for the holidays to celebrate with your family and friends.

The absolute best thing about this property is the back patio and pool and VIEW! It's lovely and the sunsets are amazing. Our dog also had fun running around and playing out there. Plenty of shade and ceiling fans, and the breeze it gets makes it comfortable all day. The only things missing were a longer couch or lounge chair to lay down and nap on the patio! But plenty of chairs to sit on. The house itself is spacious and very unique in decor, which we enjoyed. The only hiccup is that the AC thermostats are criss-crossed: the one all the way in the kitchen controls the upstairs and the one at the top of the stairs (in the open loft área) controls the downstairs. This made it hard to maintain comfortable temperatures in the 3 different rooms at night, and of course to make changes in the middle of the night was far from your own room. The owners had to come in w workmen and make a couple of repairs while we were there, but they were friendly, responsive and helpful. It's a great location to various activities, plenty of shopping, and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!

Very comfortable & clean home. Everything we needed. Perfect location for everything on our agenda. Friday night wedding at Vintage Villas (1/2 mile away), Saturday we spent on Lake Travis and Sunday we enjoyed the pool at the house.

Fantastic and Fun Vacation Spot!
Fantastic and Fun Vacation Spot!
We loved this place!! Everything was just what we needed. The beds were comfy, the pool was relaxing, the view was spectacular, and the decor was fabulous! The views INSIDE the house were just as good as outside. Every time I looked around I saw another quirky tchotchke! We all agreed it was the vacation we needed and wouldn’t change a think (except maybe stay longer). Thank you for sharing your home!

Fun Vibes! Awesome Property
Fun Vibes! Awesome Property
This house is ADORABLE!! It has all the 70s party vibes and the decor is fantastic. The outdoor area is super duper amazing. Lots of grass area for the kiddos to run and play, the pool and deck area is perfect and the views even better. We have 4 kids under 8 and a dog. The house is plenty big for everyone. Super clean, lots of supplies, laundry area was ideal, and the property was close to everything from food, boating and 10 minutes from Starbucks. The owner Pam must be super cool because the decor in this place is like a collectors dream of amazing stuff. While living the 70s dream for 10 days we enjoyed comfy beds, plenty of seating areas and a gorgeous community. I am a runner and found some great local roads to run on and enjoy the weather and area. Quirks include the master bedroom does not lock, there are only 5 small spoons, the dishwasher kinda worked, there is no ice machine, and the fridge left a lot to desire. All the quirks were completely livable and we would gladly go again quirks and all.

Million Dollar Views!!
Million Dollar Views!!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property! The style is retro and beautifully designed. The kids loved it just as much as our fur babies. Coming from the City of Houston, the home was a perfect amount of space with tons privacy. The dogs explored the yard, we made s’mores, relaxed in the hot tub and can’t wait to go back. The views were absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Spring break 2022 was amazing!

Perfect house / location for Lake Travis getaway
Perfect house / location for Lake Travis getaway
This house is the perfect place for anyone seeking a Lake Travis getaway. The house comfortably accommodated 8 guys (beds for everyone), and it is a perfect location - easy access to many ramps/boat rentals (2 min drive for our day on the lake), grocery stores & restaurants, and easy to get downtown if you desire (easily able to uber to Rainy Street one of the nights). The house was clean and check in/out was easy. The property owners are proactive about communication and were available for any issues, but we didn't have any! The backyard with the grill, pool and hot tub is where we spent most of the days, and the view overlooking Lake Travis at sunset is even better than the photos provided. All in all, 5/5 stars. I would highly recommend to anyone, and I will definitely consider this property again for future trips to Austin/Lake Travis.
