Peaceful Hilltop Retreat with Stunning Views

Check-in was smooth and hassle-free. The property is located on a hilltop with beautiful views, and each room had excellent cold air conditioning, which was a lifesaver in the Texas heat.A couple of things to note: the gravel road and driveway can be a bit rough if you're driving a low-clearance vehicle—an SUV handles it much better. Also, if you park on the lower driveway, be prepared for a lot of stairs to reach the house. It’s manageable, but something to keep in mind if mobility is a concern.Overall, it’s a peaceful and well-equipped home, perfect for a relaxing getaway near Lake Travis.

Could have been cleaned better and sprayed for insect.

The bugs, spiders and scorpion etc. in the house was bad. Didn't like the driveway. To hard to get in and out of driveway. I loved the lighting around the house. The stairs was a little rocky. The lamp in the bedroom upstairs to the right of the bathroom. Next to the window would not stay on. Same bedroom the ceiling fan light the sting came off. It's on the dresser. I loved the atmosphere. Remember me of being at my own house. Thank you for letting me and my family stay at your resident.

JUST FANTASTIC!

This is a wonderful gem just outside of Austin. Corie and Bill are one of the best hosts that i have had a pleasure of dealing with. The description of the property was 100% to what you are getting and then some. It felt like being at a home away from home. Hope they continue to maintain the quality of their property and that other guests don't ruin it for the rest of us. Nice job guys! P.S. Top side parking is tricky and best to back into it. Service dirt road is easier, but more stairs.😅

Hi we really had a pleasurable time. The accommodations were up to par. The effort to locate your lodge was not unreasonable. This Colorado River was a bit disappointing. We were able to find a public fishing area with some extensive effort. Perhaps next year will bring better water levels to the River.

We wouldn’t stay again

We were excited for our week at the lake until we realized there are no lake views. The host noted the water was low but we all felt the pics without any water should’ve been the first ones in the posting. 0 out of 3 of us said we’d return to the property for another stay. THE GOOD- cold ac in the house, comfy beds, patio/deck space, view of the fireworks on the 4th, close to The Oasis, Starbucks, Target, and HEB, fresh cold water gallons THE NOT SO GOOD- lots of small rolly pollies in the downstairs bathroom, shower head fell off the wall downstairs, we had to buy our own toilet paper and paper towels because there was only 1 roll of paper towels and really low quality TP, the steep and uneven HIKE up and down to get in the house(not ADA compliant), the pillows, not all rooms have AC(sunroom and upstairs office are hot), minimal/no spices, foil, charcoal, and other kitchen items so we had to buy all of these, no way to Uber or Lyft because the house is too hard to get to so we’d go places in the day and stay in all night, and also not the best communication from host. We messaged him the first night because we couldn’t find some light switches and lighting. He called immediately and said to call for anything any time of day. When we text to ask for paper towels we didn’t get a reply until we checked out and he said he just saw about the paper towels.

This property needs a lot of work & cleaning. We saw several small nasty roaches & other bugs. We never felt comfortable in the house. The property is older & needs a major overhaul & cleaning, it’s not easily accessible for small children or elderly. It’s not easily accessible from the street. It really doesn’t have a spectacular view it’s not worth the walk! However, the owners were nice & friendly!
