After a great day on the lake, enjoy a peaceful and relaxing view from the patio and watch the sun set over the ridge.

Really enjoyed all our adventures.

Property is in nice and quiet neighborhood. Hosts care. Will recommend to anyone.

This place was very nice, scenery was amazing. Sad there was no water yet but overall quiet and beautiful. Location feels secluded but only minutes from town. Only downfall is there was no propane and i wasnt aware of this untill last minute when preparing the grill, so had to come up with a different dinner idea

Great stay. Minimal complaints if any at all

We were really excited about the lake as seen via photos but unfortunately the lake was dried and looked to be dried for years. The checking in was a little hectic ( not the owners fault there was an issue with the app , the place was not clean. We cleaned and washed everything we needed from dirty dishes to dirty bedding ) most of the problems we had were not the owners fault but the app.

The Lakehouse has no lake and obviously has not had a lake for a very long time, so be prepared for that. The host Kim was excellent and responsive to communications. The best part of the property is the back porch where we spent most of our time talking, eating and relaxing. Lots of trees to provide shade. The house is small but tidy and servicable. The neighborhood is very quiet.

We stayed here with a few friends during a weekend reunion. The house was perfect and provided many activities for us to keep busy since the lake was dry (wasn't the owners fault the lake is dry). Kim had great communication throughout the stay and even went the extra mile and dropped off some bags for cornhole when we couldn't find the original set. We will plan on being back again! Thank you.

The home is just as it appears in the listing and it is well decorated and comfortable. The host was responsive and helped get us a new tether ball since the one on site was missing. Overall we had a lovely stay except for the lake being dry. The listing does say to check lake levels and mentions it is dry for 2022. And the check in message after booking says it is still dry, but that is after you have reserved it. According to locals, it has likely been dry since 2021. So it seems like that could be more prominent in the listing so you are not expecting to kayak at the house and have disappointed kids. I know this would possibly impact who reserves the house, but it felt like I had to do the work to figure out the lake status for what was advertised as a lake house. I bet it is really amazing when the lake has water!

We have a great time! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful house with us. We would love to stay again when the lake is up. That was the only thing missing.

My wife and I stayed for a family getaway. We wanted to have a little fun on the lake and also have some privacy away from the resort options. The home is beautiful and has everything you need. Kayaks are a plus with the kids. Don't worry if the water is low just get ready for some mud when getting the Kayaks in the water. We are already looking forward to staying again. Thank you for hosting your gorgeous lakehouse.

Great house
House was perfect size for our group (7). Great spot just wish the lake wasn’t so low.

Everything was perfect . We had a great time. Just wish the lake was higher to enjoy the boat dock and water near the house.

The home was nicer than the pics show. Beds were so cozy. Had everything we needed for 3 days of our stay. My family went to enjoy each other and to relax. We definitely were able to do that. Only disappointment was not being able to swim because of the drought but not anything the hosts could help. We will definitely be back for fall or winter because even in the summer we lit the fire pit and made smores. We so loved this place. Beautiful Views so so many areas to sit outside and enjoy. My kids were sad to leave on the last day. All worth the time away with family. Thank you Kim. You'll see us again.

great place but not accurately depicted in pictures
the property was spotless, has a beautiful view and the owners are wonderful. Unfortunately there is a VERY steep hill to the back of the property and about 30 steps straight down to get to the kayaks and waters edge. The pictures give the impression you are at the waters edge from the circle campfire area. You are not. If I had known this we would have stayed elsewhere. Not a good feeling knowing you paid for something you did not give. going up the steep hill I severely aggravated a knee injury and was on crutches the next few days.

The property was clean and well-represented by the photos. The owner was quick to respond to the one query we had during our stay. As is common for the spring, the water level in the lake was too low for the dock but we were still able to use the kayaks without much trouble. Location is a good mix of being on the lake with some quiet while also relatively convenient for shopping and restaurants.

Easy drive from Houston for the weekend. The house is tucked back into a neighborhood located on the water. We enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen and comfortable touches in this older home. Homey decor, blankets and games are everywhere. The outdoor area with fire pit and ample seating was amazing. In addition, there was access to a dock and kayaks. If you are bringing kids, be mindful, as there are many house rules of which to be considerate. Also, this home sleeps 8 at additional fees per person over 6 occupants.

Carol was a great host. The house and property exceeded expectations. It was the little touches that took this house from great to exceptional. Carol really works hard to separate her property from all the others. Would highly recommend.

Our family enjoyed a lovely long weekend here, hiking, kayaking, making s’mores lakeside. Lovely, welcoming home, fully stocked for those of us who prefer to cook for ourselves. Close to town and grocery stores, shopping.

"Our Lakehouse"
This is was our second time at the property and we've begun to refer to it as "our lakehouse". It has all the convinces of home in a beautiful escape. We love the kayaking or just sitting by the firepit. There is plenty of room for our family and the house us well stocked.
4.8
The property was just as beautiful as described and in a very peaceful area. Unfortunately lake Travis was 24’ below full during our stay, this kept us from making use of the included dock. There was however a nice parking spot near the road for our boat. We ended up playing on Travis one day and lake Austin for the rest of the week. The unique layout of the property ensured we had privacy while outside even though there were guest at the neighboring houses. I would definitely recommend this property to others looking to enjoy their time on the lake.
4.8
We really enjoyed spending time together in all of the outdoor space. The weather was perfect to take advantage of the outdoor fireplaces.
House is super cute inside and kitchen is well stocked. Super clean. Can't wait to visit again.
