This is the second year our family and friends rented this property and we had a great time and enjoyed excellent weather! Sharon is excellent at communicating with her guests and setting expectations appropriately. This is an older property that is a bit rustic but you absolutely can’t beat the location (and price). The provided amenities are ample and the house is clean, it’s just a bit run down (but not unsafe or dirty). Imagine old beach house charm. Anyhoo, we had a blast floating off the deck in the 9 (wow!) provided tubes and kayaks. My kids love this place - we had so much fun, we’ll be back again next year. Thanks again Sharon!

If you are craving some downtime, there is no better place than this quant lake house. Imagine sipping on a cold cocktail under a canopy of trees overlooking a lake. It was great.

Overall, this is a great property to enjoy the Lake Austin activities and west Austin area (most everything in Austin ~30 min or less). The home is on the waterfront and tucked in dense lush beautiful foliage. The pictures accurately portray the home. It is not updated but it is quaint and what you would expect for a lake house. There are kayaks available to use and lots of outdoor sitting space. The grill is charcoal so if you want to grill, be sure to have that. The hosts were very communicative and responsive, having provided lots of suggestions for what to do. The checkin process was extremely simple and easy. Unfortunately, the weather did not allow for sitting outside much, but we did watch the sun set from the dock one night and it was spectacular. Great place for a family getaway for sure!

Staying at the waterfront was just what we needed and we had a great time.

Great family vacation! Our family had a great time and enjoyed the property!

This was our second stay. Our kids begged us to go back. They loved relaxing by the water, kayaking, and fishing. We also floated in tubes off the deck and grilled outside. It's so convenient to have the kayaks, lifejackets, and tubes available on site. The water level was great despite the drought. The house and back decks have a cozy, overgrown vibe. Definitely not an upscale place but it's perfect for our family and budget and has everything you could need for your stay.

This house was right on the lake easy for fishing and swimming. A nice place to stay if you enjoy the lake! Also was easy communicating and getting everything we needed. Very friendly and would definitely stay here again!

No problems at all checking in and out. More household amenities left for guests than I anticipated. A very nice touch. You really only need your toothbrush and toothpaste. A/C was excellent. Layout was just as described by hosts. Lake was beautiful and all the action went right by the deck. Quiet during day and night. Didn’t even hear traffic but home is on a dead end street. Within about 5 minutes to local HEB and a new galleria of shops with a cinema. Lots of nice restaurants with a wide range of prices. Beautiful scenery. You do need to be able to travel up and down numerous stairs to get to different levels of house but the views are worth it.

Cute home, kinda funky. The location can’t be beat! We loved having dinner on the deck in the evening, and getting right onto the lake first thing in the morning using the on-site kayaks. It only took about 15-20’minutes to get downtown, but it felt like a world away. The house across the lake is also on Vrbo, but for 25k per night. If you’re looking for luxury at this location, then do that. And invite me, haha. Otherwise, this spot is a gem!

Is was all good. Great host.

Love our stay, great communication!

The place worked very well for our group. The dock was shaded by several large trees, and was our daily gathering place. Parking was a bit cramped, but we managed.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful place to call home for 4 days.

Quirky home with fabulous decks and docks and location can’t be beat. Lots of room with futon in the octogon game room and sofa bed in the living room, plus 2 bedrooms. Lots of stairs but such a wonderful lake experience. Owner was very attentive. Hope to rent again.

The ski slope house was awesome. I loved all the greenery on the property, something that really made our house special and standout. We had so much fun jumping in the lake anytime we wanted and we rented a boat one day that picked us up from our dock! Will be back for sure.

Yes rain but we had fun, caught some fish. Interesting house, lots of character. Not a place for little kids.

We had a wonderful family getaway. It was relaxing and fun. We loved hanging out by the water - and especially loved the kayaks. Communication with the owners was easy and efficient. Thank you Sharon and John.

Everything was exactly as advertised in the listing. Wish we had caught some fish but otherwise a perfect retreat.

This property was exactly as advertised, and the host' communication was great. There was more than enough space for our family of 4. We enjoyed kayaking, floating, and fishing, and it was so nice to have everything we needed there rather than trying to transport it all with us. It was exactly the laid back get away we wanted. Our kids said it was like a house from an old disney movie, with old charm and fun surprises. Don't expect updated new amenities, but the price can't be beat for this comfortable getaway.

This was just as advertised - not super updated, but great value for a location right on the water. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed the games and puzzles available. The dock was perfect for our family to spend time and we hiked a lot at nearby locations. We will definitely come again. The owners were very available, but didn't really need their assistance, as the house was as communicated. Thank you for a great vacation.

This is a wonderful house and beautiful property. The communication was excellent and Sharon provided everything we could possibly need. Water was chilly, but we still took advantage of all the water toys provided and included our own ‘Polar Bear Plunge’ challenge. Really enjoyed our time and made some new family memories.

Very easy

My wife and I stayed here in October and everything was just wonderful. The best part of the stay was enjoying a bottle of wine on the dock during sunset. It's a great setting to relax and do nothing! Coffee at sunrise was great too.The house is very clean and comfortable. Overall, the property is well-maintained. We'll be back again!

Really nice find. Gorgeous river, great kayaking, fun place to stay. Super attentive and helpful host!

This is our second time staying at the bakehouse. We truly enjoy being right on the water. Kids swam and kayaked and fished. Caught one small fish that went back in. The house may not be fancy smancy, but it has everything you could need. Communication with the owner is excellent. Thanks.

This place was perfect for our group to get away for a few days and enjoy the water! Sharon was so kind and communicative. We loved hanging out on the dock, grilling, and kayaking around on the water. Thanks for sharing your home with us, John and Sharon. We hope to be back soon.

Sharon and her Treehouse are easy to find and a quiet place to relax. The place is not very big, but there is plenty of room for 6 adults to enjoy themselves, especially outside. The outside space is so nice. There's plenty of deck space and chairs and the being on the water was perfect. My family used the kayaks, the floats and fished their hearts out. Lots of fun and for all. If we're looking to stay on the water again, I'll book Sharon's place. Sharon was super-friendly and lovely to work with. Thanks Sharon!

This house was just what we were looking for. We had an amazing time. The property was gorgeous and the house had the character we were looking for. We would definitely stay here again.

This property has the MOST beautiful view and access to Lake Austin! Large deck right by the water that was perfect for relaxing on lounge chairs under the shady trees. Kayaks and inner tubes were fun! Sharon is a wonderful host! We hope to return soon!

My family and I had a great time during our stay here. It was a perfect getaway without having to leave town. We took advantage of all the lake equipment. Kiddos LOVED hanging out on the lake on the Lily pad. That alone was worth our stay. They also loved the board games and wooden blocks, a lifesaver! We also took advantage of the fire pit for smores and grill for burgers. There's an HEB about 10 minutes away for charcoal and groceries. It comfortably fit us and we'll likely book again with more family as this place can accommodate 8.
