Luxury Lakefront Escape: Massage, Yoga, Winery, Kayaks, SUPs, Krause Springs!

Our main house, 'La Casa de Joy,' is a stunning luxury straw bale that was recently featured on CBS's show "Staycation." This one-of-a-kind home provides the perfect gathering space for any event.

Our unique and eclectic accommodations include: our Luxury Straw Bale Home “La Casa de Joy,” the Blue Loft Eco-cabin, the Romantic Redroom Eco-cabin, the Bunkroom Eco-cabin, the Cozy Upstairs Cottage, our Firefly Safari Tent, and our minimalist "Love Shack" glamping tent. We can accommodate 22 overnight guests. Personal camping tents may also be added if desired for additional fees. Our property is blessed with an abundance of nature including deer, birds, butterflies, crickets, hummingbirds, & more. The property will feel like your own magical land as you will have private use of the outdoor pavilion, viewing decks, hammocks, several private spots for couples to sit, the floating cabin, fire pit, & the optional ON-SITE kayak, paddleboard, and canoe rentals.

Such a lovely staycation!

We live in Austin, so this was a perfect staycation nearby right off of lake Travis! Absolutely stunning views and such a lovely lot. Everyone slept comfortably and seeing deer when you wake up is so dreamy. Highly recommend this to anyone who has a large family for a lovely getaway!

Ideal Hybrid Getaway (Retreat + Glamping)

Great for hybrid getaway where you have the overall tranquility and charm of retreat; and at the same time have parts of the property that offer the feeling of camping. The main house and cottages have vintage feel but with all modern day comfort/amenities en suite. The two tented rooms on the property are set closer to the woods and gives more of a camping vibe; they are still fully air-conditioned; bug proofed, full size rooms and comfortable. We really enjoyed the dynamic nature of the property.

Small party weekend

This place was amazing!!!!! It is great for a small get together with family and friends. Family stayed the whole weekend and it was perfect! Everyone had their own “place” and didn’t feel cramped at all. All the accommodations were perfect, cleaned, and way beyond our expectations. We had a small gathering Saturday evening and it was great place for the group to gather and spread out if needed. Honestly worth every penny and would stay here again! 10 out of 10!!

Just Amazing!! Perfect Spot!

Wow! What a beautiful and serene space! I held my wife's 30th birthday here and it couldn't have been a more perfect space especially in our current covid situation. The pictures don't do this place justice!! (Tho the pictures are very nice!) Management was amazing to communicate with and they responded to a small incident very quickly! Overall I can't recommend this space and the experience it provides enough! Don't hesitate if you're thinking about booking this one, you won't regret it!

Great location on the Pedernales River

Our extended family stayed here for a week. We brought two boats and a Jetski which we were able to tie up on the floating dock. The property managers were very quick to respond to all maintenance issues and questions. Having the whole property to ourselves made it very peaceful and relaxing for everyone.

Great for groups with multiple private quarters

Beautiful scenery, eclectic and interesting decor, easy to get to. It's close enough to restaurants/stores/gas to be convenient but far enough away for privacy. The main house is beautifully built and furnished. It has one bedroom upstairs. There is a house next to it with one bedroom upstairs. The downstairs is locked and unavailable. There are other "tiny houses" for individuals or couples or small groups within the main compound. There are a couple of tents for "glamping". There is a boat launch and a boat dock with a cabin on the dock. There are many stairs and cobble stones so anyone with mobility issues is going to have a hard time.

Had an awesome bday wknd!

Lovely property! I stayed in the main house and it was so unique and beautiful! My friend and her husband absolutely loved the firefly tent. The eco homes where some other friends stayed were also very cool and comfy.

Great family birthday!

We had a 60th birthday celebration. There were places to divide up by family units so that everyone had their own space and the larger house was a great meeting place for all to hang out.

Fanastic property on Lake Travis

A group of 14 friends stayed here over labor day weekend and had a fantastic time. We all hung out in the main house, but it was great there are separate buildings for everyone to go back to and have their own space. There is a nice yard for us to play games in, and just down the hill is an awesome floating boat dock that we spent all afternoon at. The water temperature was perfect and it was very relaxing. We were able to bring our dogs with us, and they had a good time exploring the property and swimming with us. The host, Todd, was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend or stay here again.

Beautiful, relaxing, and spacious

I recently reserved the property for a girls' weekend in which about 18 ladies attended. It was a little like herding cats most of the time, but Todd, the property manager, was very nice & extremely accommodating. We ultimately had an amazing weekend & I'm already being asked if we can do it again next year! I think we will definitely try some of the on site massage & yoga options next time we reserve. My only recommendation is that if you're going with the max number of guests like we did, that you bring a few extra air mattresses. We did this just in case, & it worked out perfectly for some of the ladies who didn't want to share a bed. Thank you Todd & Living Waters for a perfect weekend getaway!
