About this house rental

WE ARE TAKING EXTRA PRECAUTIONS DISINFECTING OUR HOUSE IN LIGHT OF THE COVID-19 VIRUS.

Lake Austin waterfront is a great place to escape all year around. Lake Austin Retreat offers a beautiful Mexican style waterfront property with a boat dock, huge decks and a hot tub situated on a secluded bend of Lake Austin just 20 miles from downtown Austin. Relax, unwind, enjoy the stand up paddle boards, swim, canoe, kayak, bird-watch, fish, or enjoy a spa-treatment at nearby Lake Austin Spa.

The house accommodates 6 guests (if your group is larger than 6, please consider renting a neighbor's property which sleep's 6, in addition to ours - Homeaway Property # 7064882 or VRBO#3580000), and the spacious back yard offers an abundance of outdoor space for socializing, BBQ'n, playing or enjoying quiet hammock-time. Bring your boat and ski (boats can be moored at the dock but no boat lift is available), or lounge by the water's edge and drink in the view of the Golden Cheeked-Warbler habitat directly across the lake. You will love taking advantage of the most peaceful stretch of Lake Austin. Mornings are not to be missed. Grab your coffee or tea and watch the morning fog pull back revealing a glass-like surface that mirrors the rolling hills above. Just 35 Miles from the new F-1 Track in Austin, 20 miles from SXSW and ACL Festival.

The Activities: By Day - Canoeing, kayaking (life jackets and paddles provided), hiking, swimming, fishing, golfing, skiing and wakeboarding, bring your boat and moor it at the dock. You can canoe, kayak or walk 1/4 mile to the Lake Austin Spa for world-class spa services.

By Night - Dining, grilling, star-gazing or hitting the downtown or lakeside Austin nightlife.

Out of respect for our neighbors, we ask that only three cars be parked at our home and that our guests not use the HOA Boat Ramp and Park next door. The public boat ramp at Mary Quinlan Park is only 1/4 mile away and is much safer. There is also additional parking there for guests temporarily visiting during your stay.

In keeping with the local ordinances, we have a strict policy that forbids parties at our home.

Thank you for your consideration of our home and our rules. STR License Number OL 2017 063779

    We had the best time at this lake house, which is on a beautiful part of lake Austin! It had everything we needed and more. Would love to stay again

    The host is excellent and took steps to address concerns in a timely manner. Location is great and water is access is great. The property is starting to show age, but as long people are okay with this, we would recommend it.

    Beautiful spot on Lake Austin. Paddle boards, canoes and kayaks were provided. Property was clean. Plenty of towels were provided which is nice since we swam in the lake and took advantage of the hot tub at night. Check in/check out was super easy. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

    Great location on quiet side of lake. Older house, but in decent shape. AC went out first night we were there. Host was easy to get in touch with and had someone out the following morning to fix. Luckily it was cool that night so wasn’t too bad of an experience. The last day we were there a group of guys unexpectedly showed up to fix the boat lift. That put a dent in our final few hours as we had to say inside with the dog and couldn’t use the boat dock. Overall the trip was OK.

    This place is awesome! My family and I loved it. We will definitely comeback to get away from the city and relax.

    There were many issues, but also a number of positives. Positive things about this rental:1. Communication with host and manager was excellent. They installed a card table before our visit at our request, to use as an extra computer desk. They also responded promptly when I texted.2. There's a beautiful view of Lake Austin, and a nice big yard.3. The kitchen was very well equipped.4. A good grocery store is located within 5 miles.Negative things about this rental:1. The first night we stayed there, the mattress in the master bedroom was so soft that we rolled toward each other all night. We changed the mattress with one in the second bedroom, which was better.2. The house is very drafty when it is cold. 3. It's not a good neighborhood for walking. The only park nearby is just a boat launch and one picnic table. We had to drive at least 22 minutes to get to a nice park with trails. 4. The only decent restaurants are over a 20 minute drive away.5. We were able to use the television, but it has a jerry-rigged Roku attached that we never were able to get to work. It turns out that the prior guest had changed the password. At this rental rate, they need a new TV with direct streaming.6. A cockroach crawled over me two days before we left, and a dead one was in the bathroom the next morning. Owner offered to spray sooner than planned but said some cockroaches are inevitable there.7. We left 3 days early. I understand there is a no refund policy.

    The accident caused me to bleed through the nose. The bulbs lights outside DO NOT WORK; they are dead. We told the owner, and he didn't believe us. The cleanliness is bad. For example, the top of the refrigerator looks like it has not been cleaned in years. So here is my honest comment: We are not coming back just because we weren't treated well by the owner.
