Lake Austin Boathouse: Private Dock, Pickleball Court & Lakeside Fire
Escape to your own lakefront boathouse on Lake Austin, with a private dock, a private pickleball court and a fire pit right by the water.
This newly renovated boathouse sits on the shore of Lake Austin, just minutes from the iconic 360 bridge. It blends rustic charm with modern design: wide glass doors that open to the lake, a stocked kitchen with a big island, a record player and a Sonos speaker.
WHY GUESTS BOOK IT - Private dock with direct lake access. Swim, fish or watch the sunset from the water. - Private pickleball court up the hill. Paddles and balls are here. - Lakeside fire pit for cool fall and winter nights. - Fishing gear included. - Lake views from nearly every room.
FALL AND WINTER ON LAKE AUSTIN Fall and winter are the quiet season on the lake. Cooler days are perfect for pickleball, the fire by the water, a long breakfast on the deck, and staying in with board games and records. Lake levels are normal this season (the City of Austin canceled the planned 2026 drawdown).
GREAT FOR WORK STAYS TOO Need a quiet place near Austin for a few days or a few weeks? Fast 577 Mbps wifi (verified, handles 4K streaming and video calls), a peaceful setting and Level 2 EV charging (Tesla only) make this an easy home base. Stays of 28 nights or longer are welcome.
THE SPACE The boathouse is a full private guesthouse, not a room. - Bedroom 1: queen bed - Bedroom 2: double bed plus 2 single beds (bunk style) - 1 full bathroom - Kitchen with full fridge, oven, electric stove, dishwasher, microwave, drip coffee maker, coffee, cookware and wine glasses - Air conditioning, ductless heating and ceiling fans - Sleeps up to 6
GUEST ACCESS The entire boathouse, the dock, the fire pit by the water and the pickleball court are yours for the stay. Free parking on the property.
A FEW HONEST NOTES SO THERE ARE NO SURPRISES 1. Reaching the boathouse means a steep hill and stairs down to the water. It is not suitable for guests with mobility issues. 2. Both boat slips are occupied, so no boat lifts are available. Plenty of local companies rent boats by the day if you want to get out on the water. 3. Occasionally the dock is used to reach the boats in the slips. 4. There is no beach, but you can get in the water right off the dock. Heads up: Lake Austin has some hydrilla (lake grass) this year. 5. There is no TV and no washer or dryer.
Hosted by Aubree and Chandler, who live on Lake Austin and love sharing it.
