This was a perfect home for our family reunion! The home is stunning and the view of the lake is so serene. We enjoyed the pool during the day and the front porch for evening cocktails. The location was perfect for all that we wanted to do, from hanging out at Zilker park to day trips in the surrounding hill country. Our host was very responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend!!

Amazing Estate

My family and I had a wonderful experience staying at this estate in Austin during Memorial Day weekend. Five adults and three preteen children were very comfortable there. Beautiful pool, with a gas bbq perfect for grilling dinner while the children swam. Nice and quiet location, which looked and felt as through we were in the Hollywood Hills. Gracious host, whom was extremely attentive and provided fantastic recommendations for activities, restaurants, etc. Five star experience!

We had such an amazing time staying at this lovely home. It was so clean and spacious with an amazing front deck and a view of Lake Austin. The added bonus was the pool and hot tub which we really enjoyed using. It had plenty of bedrooms to fit our large group and the beds were exceptionally comfortable with nice bedding and pillows. The house is conveniently tucked in Westlake Hills which is beautiful and close to downtown. The host wa very responsive in answering any questions we had before we arrived.

Very nice Austin Stay

The home is beautiful and is nestled in the affluent neighborhood of Westlake. The hosts were very communicative and responsive. The home is fully equipped with everything, nothing was missed. The bedding situation, sheets, pillows, etc, was hotel quality and exactly the way it should be for those that seek that out. The listing does reflect that the home is one minute from the lake, giving the impression that the lake is accessible within one minute, which is not the case. The lake is in view, but to access it, there is a ten minute drive to the nearest Acess point. Overall we rate the entire experience very high.

Just Dreamy !

Our extended family gathered in Austin for our niece's graduation from UT. We needed a central hub to gather and enjoy one another. We hit the jackpot when we found Charlie's beautiful home. It was comfortable and brilliantly designed and incorporated the lush surrounding nature into the architecture. There is wonderful shade provided by the many mature trees. The bedrooms are arranged in such a way that there is plenty of privacy when needed. The front deck was a lovely place to sit and chat and have morning coffee or an evening cocktail. The young ones enjoyed the pool and others relaxed in the spacious hot tub. The neighborhood is a gem in the hills overlooking the Austin skyline. Charlie was super communicative and available to answer any questions before and during our stay. We would highly recommend this special home and should we ever return to Austin, this is where you'll find us.

Great for large groups

We stayed here as a group of 7 adults and 2 kids. The house is spacious, clean, and well-maintained, and the hosts, Charlie and Margot, were both very communicative and accessible before and during the stay. The hot tub was great; we didn’t have a chance to use the pool. The outdoor deck area overlooking the lake was also a great place to catch up. The kitchen/pool/hot tub /master bedroom are upstairs: the other bedrooms are downstairs. All have their own bathrooms which was very convenient. Overall, we were pleased with our stay and would recommend Charlie’s property to anyone with a large group!
