Mini Paradise

This is our 3rd or 4th stay (we lost count). We always enjoy ourselves at this property....it is so relaxing. This time we not only saw deer and the large variety of birds, we saw a jack rabbit busy at work crossing the field over and over (maybe feeding his family) and we saw a roadrunner up close and personal in the yard. The views are amazing and we are so close to the water. We sat outside most of the time and enjoyed every minute of it. The lake breeze was great. We will probably book this paradise again maybe even this year.

Hidden Gem - great location and quiet

Great Host and property. Spent 3 nights during the week and wished we had stayed an entire week. Gorgeous views, lots of deer and friendly locals. Mike (host) loaned us 2 kayaks and a golf cart to get around the property- it made loading/unloading our luggage a breeze. 2 bbq grills (one propane and the other charcoal). Rented a pontoon boat for 3 hours from s nearby company called Liquid Thrillz. Worth every penny! The lake house was very charming and clean- would definitely return.

Perfect Getaway

The cabin was awesome, the property is beautiful. Mike was super cool, let us use the golf cart, brought the kayaks to the water for us, and let us use his firewood. We cooked, kayaked, ran around with the dog, looked for arrowheads, stargazed, watched deer from the porch. It was perfect.

Nothing short of magical

Hit the book button. Great host. Quiet retreat!! It was ALL amazing! Clean and well thought out house, great master bed. Lakefront was a magical experience. Swam in the lake, pitched a tent for some R & R while getting some sun and listening to the gentle waves. Private beachfront can’t be beat. Fun yard games! Golf cart to venture to the lake at the foot of the property. My husband rated this experience in the top 3 EvEr and we have travelled near and far so that is saying a lot!!! So much fun! Thank you for letting us stay. Now my husband thinks he needs a lakefront property.

Cabin on Lake Travis - what a gem!

My family and I recently stayed at this cabin on Lake Travis in Lago Vista. The home and grounds were perfect. Private access to the lake made it so convenient and easy to bring our dogs and walk back and forth between the cabin and lake. Mike was amazing and provided anything we needed. We are looking forward to booking this cabin again for family get togethers!

Unique, peaceful, private, and fun

Our stay at the lakefront cottage was unforgettable and awesome. Mike, the host, was very friendly and let us use his golf-cart and kayaks. Having our own lake beach access and lots of shady green space made this stay amazing. We would love to stay here again sometime and will tell our friends about it. A great spot!

2 night stay

We had a wonderful time. The property and house were very well maintained and really clean. Everything we needed was there, dishes, grill, coffee maker, etc. Our favorite part was how quiet and peaceful it was sitting outside on the porch area or down by the water. Owner is an extremely nice guy and seems to go out of his way to welcome guest and make sure they enjoy their stay.
