About this castle / palace rental

PLEASE NOTE: WE ONLY BOOK VIA VRBO. THIS IS A VERY POPULAR PLACE TO RENT, WHICH IS PRONE FOR SCAMS.

Come spend your vacation at Captain Jay's Castle on a private, always deep water Lake Travis cove with amazing sunsets year-round ! Lake Travis is not a constant level lake therefore the private floating dock is moved according to lake levels and accessing lake may be more challenging when water is lower but cove is always deep and swimmable! Accessibility may be difficult for young children and those with mobility issues. It’s great for fossil hunting!

Our private dock has a pontoon boat and jet ski for rent (lowest price and best maintained in area) and is well lit at night to enjoy sitting right on the water. Kayaks, paddle boards, and other water toys are available to enjoy at no extra charge. The cove is a local popular fishing spot so anglers bring your gear.

The Castle has 3 large bedrooms with in suite bathrooms, a 1/2 bath downstairs as well as an open sleeping area upstairs with a trundle and full sized bed.

Bedrooms: King-downstairs, 2 bedrooms upstairs- one with queen and one with 2 queens. In keeping with the uniqueness of this home, there are 2 walk-in closets with bunkbeds and pocket doors for extra sleeping. Air mattresses also available for larger parties.

Our per night pricing is for 8 guests, additional overnight guests will be charged 50.00 per night.

We love well behaved pets but there will be charge a 50.00 per pet, per visit.

Our 2.75 acre lot has plenty of room to roam. There is a beautiful large stone patio with fire pit to entertain or just relax at sunset. There are two large decks as well as a rooftop to enjoy dinner and lake and sunset views.

Our property is Wildlife Certified; many beautiful water and land birds to observe as well as country critters so please do not leave food out at night and bring appropriate footwear.

Responsible parties are welcome. We take great pride in keeping the grounds and house clean and we ask our guest to do the same upon their departure. Removing sheets and towels and placed in the laundry room is much appreciated.

Day Use: for additional guests accessing the property but not staying over there will be an extra $10.00 per person charge. For security and liability we must be informed of any extra guests on the property.

We like to greet our guests and provide a tour of the house and grounds upon arrival. Owner lives on the property in a separate house with several small dogs. While we will not disturb our guests, we do make ourselves available 24hrs if our guests need help or have any questions. There is a tenant downstairs, Chico, who has a boating excursion business who you may see coming and going and also helps with guests when needed.

Most unique place we have ever stayed. Plenty of parking, access to a dock on the water, plenty of things to do that are provided(paddle board, kayak, canoe, cornhole, board games, etc). So many different trinkets around the house. Absolutely amazing house and host.

This was our 6th stay at the castle hosted by Jeff. As always, he was a great host, gave great instructions for check in process, and made sure we’re good after our departure. Truly one of my favorite rentals in the lake Travis area, we’re already planning our trip back for next year. Just want to say thanks again to Jeff for always providing top notch service, a clean and tidy living space, and providing our group of friends with a yearly weekend escape to relax and recharge. See you in 2025!

Jeff’s place is great! You won’t find anything else like it on Lake Travis. It’s great for small or large groups and the water access is unmatched

Our host was very helpful but unobtrusive. We used the free dual kayak to visit the nearby island. The local restaurant featured a live duck sitting at the bar. (Did he say "Put it on my bill?") Plentiful wildlife on walks included friendly deer and a rooster who wished me good morning. We had plenty of privacy and enjoyed several nearby restaurants.

We had a wonderful time, swimming in the lake, hanging out at the castle, exploring the area, boating on the lake and playing at the local water park. We had 2 great meals at the nearby Beachside Billy’s located at the water park. Lots to do and Jeff was very accommodating.

Great stay, had plenty if great accommodations. Get your groceries you’ll want or need for the stay and that’s it. We did not leave. You don’t want to either, great space outside and inside. The water is always there when you want to swim or even go boating/jet skiing.

This place was bonkers! So much room, so much to do. Mr. Voorhis was friendly and available. The castle has everything you need. There was so much room, everyone could spread out. We had a large group of adults staying the weekend. 3 large bedrooms with their own private bathrooms would be perfect for 3 legit families as each bedroom has at least 2 large beds and/or bunk beds. That doesn't include the additional space on the upstairs living room area. Each bedroom has floor to ceiling windows facing the lake. What a view! 3 balconies, fire pits, grills, kayaks, paddle boards, canoes... The list goes on. I cannot say enough about this place. STAY HERE!
