Austin Lake Travis Pool Waterfront - Hill Country Retreat 2 Acres Sleeps 20

Had 15 guys stay for a bachelor party and it was a blast. There was no lake cause of the drought, but the pool was excellent and provided reprieve from the heat. The bed layout is perfect for large groups as everyone gets their own bed. Decently stocked kitchen and multiple grilling options available. Tom Grass was very clear and easy with his communication. Would highly recommend for bachelor parties!

Despite no lake access, Had a great time in the pool . Loved the pool!! House was spacious and able to accommodate our large family. Very clean and A/C worked great!

We absolutely loved our stay. Our party of12 adults, 8 kids and 3 dogs stayed for 3 nights. Upon arrival the house was clean and welcoming. Fully stocked with everything we needed. The pool was amazing and very much enjoyed as the lake was dry in this particular area. All of us agreed that the property exceeded our expectations and we look forward to returning again. You will not be disappointed with this place. The owner is extremely courteous, prompt and a pleasure to deal with.

Everything was amazing until the day before check in. The host called me to let me know the lake was dried up. This made a huge difference in the stay. We planned everything around the lake and was a let down. Host was great house was awesome tjr kake dried up, not so great. If I would have knew this is would have never stayed here. Huge let down. The advertisement needs to be changed to dried up lake.

We enjoyed our stay. It's an older house and had some maintenance needs, but the owner was extremely quick to respond and get his handyman there. On the positive side, the house was very clean, well-supplied and spacious with tons of outside room and seating. The private saltwater pool was terrific. Our group of 14 used it constantly. It is well located with both sunny and and shaded areas most of the day, plenty of deck chairs, tables and umbrellas -- even pool toys and float mattresses. We are not boaters, so this didn't affect us much, but the listing should clarify that Lake Travis is so low now that the house is currently not "lakefront." The cove it's on was bone-dry. On the whole, a nice property if lake access is not important to you, with a very responsive owner.

Loved this place! Tom’s house was the perfect setting for our family reunion, with 20 people for a three-night stay. Tom is a generous host, stocking the house with more than the basic essentials, from spices to bathroom towels. The pool was terrific. We spent much of our time at the pool and grilling on the six-burner grill. Plenty of comfortable beds and lovely living/dining rooms for our big group. Tom made us feel at home. I highly recommend this property or renting anything from Tom.

We had a wonderful time at this lovely home on the river. Tom the owner was very communicative and great to work with. Our family of 18 (9 adults and 9 kids ages 7-15yo) enjoyed lounging in the pool and playing boccee in the yard. There was plenty of room inside for naps and puzzles and cooking as a family. The extra living space in the room with the large bed and the loft twins was super useful as a kid cave for movies and board games. We highly recommend this property.

We had a group of 12 and this property had everything we needed for relaxing comfortably both inside and out! It was within striking distance of downtown Austin and some hill country attractions. The host, Tom, provided lots of info on things to do in the area and made the check-in and check-out process very easy. I would happily stay here again.

Lots of options of places to sleep and great location on lake and Tom is super easy to deal with

This was a very relaxing getaway for our family. We had plenty of room both inside and outside. The kids loved the play area in the back and the pool was fabulous! There are so many different sitting areas outside to enjoy. Everything you need is nearby - groceries, play, restaurants. We had a great time and can't wait to go back.

This property was Absolutely perfect for our bachelorette group! I highly recommend anything from this owner as he was very communicative and very easy to contact. The house had absolutely everything you could possibly need for a wonderful visit on the lake. Highly highly highly recommend!!

This house exceeded my expectations! We take big family vacations minimum is usually about 20 of us and this house was perfect! Our Fourth of July stay included 4 families. Age range 2 months to grand parents. There was plenty of space for our huge playpen for the infant/toddlers. The little kids(age 5-10) enjoyed the pool and playground. We had rain during our stay and they enjoyed playing indoors in the loft and top bunks and hide and seek was a hit. The teenagers (14-17) enjoyed the pool and the lake with the paddle boat and canoeing. They had so much to explore! (A whole week and I didn’t ever see them on their cellphones!) The openness of the kitchen dining and living room was perfect so we could all interact with each other. The view from living room is just beautiful. Morning coffee out in the many seating areas was my favorite. The location was perfect for our boat rental day and our zip lining tour day and the drives to and from these places were very pleasant because we all enjoyed the winding hilly roads. The owner Tom was great and extremely helpful before and during our stay. I would definitely pick this place again for another lake vacation.

Everything you would want or need in a stay. Loved the house!!! Great for kida and adults.

I loved the open yard and the paddleboat and canoes. The kids had a great time.

Would definitely recommend this awesome property

relaxing get away, private pool was worth every penny!

The house was great and had plenty of beds. The owner is attentive and always available if needed.

The location and view of the property is perfect! Nice and large for a big group. The owner was quick to respond to our needs. Very great experience.

We had a great time. We had 10 people and it would have been nice to have another bathroom. The pool was great, our little ones enjoyed the playground and easy access to the lake was great! The house needs to be exterminated for roaches, spiders and bugs.

What a great place! Lots of space inside and outside. We loved being able to swim in the lake and also have pool time. Tom communicated with us throughout the trip and was informative and helpful. Hope to make it back. We would highly recommend this spot for a nice relaxing time away.

Due to the pandemic, we cancelled our Florida beach vacation and opted for a more private, secluded option for our family. This place hit the spot. We had six adults and three kids 2 years old and under. The property was very private with all the amenities per the listing. The house has lots of beds and sitting areas and can accommodate many more people, but with just two small bathrooms and a small kitchen, logistics could be a problem with a large group. Since we did not want to go to restaurants or into town to shop, we brought all our food and lots of coolers which helped with the cooking and storage. There was also a brand new grill which was very nice. We also rented a boat which worked well with the easy dock access. The weather turned out really hot (104 degrees each day) which was no ones fault, but it limited our time outdoors with the kids. It would have been nice if the dock had been covered to allow for shade and the breeze on the water. We spent a lot of time in the large pool which was very nice. The owner Tom was proactive and friendly in his communication and checked on us to make sure everything was ok. It was a great family getaway.

Fun relaxing overall good experience

Our family had a wonderful time, no one even complained about the lack of bathrooms!! Pool was great plus, lake was gorgeous. 10 adult 4 children schnauzers all were pleased. Great property for family gathering.

Great property. Various living areas were super to accommodate adult conversation & children’s play area. Private pool was awesome. Owner’s commutation was prompt& curteous.

First I want to say the location is beautiful! The lake is right there in your backyard with a nice dock. We pulled our boat to this house and enjoyed that convenience. The water is lovely. The grounds are huge at this house with lots of places for kids to run and play. One downside is the mosquitos...i am from TX so it isn't like I am not used to them. They were AWFUL. Both my kids have over 50 bites. They didn't get them the first day when we mostly were down at the dock, but the second day when at the pool area. He does spray twice a year but thinking during summer months it really needs to increase. We could not sit outside and enjoy anything unless on water. I just want people to know...because I was not prepared! Tom does have a nice house with tons of beds. Our king was very comfy! Clean sheets, nice linens. One really nice bathroom is remodeled and then a teeny tiny other bathroom. We did know going into it was only 2 bathrooms...I wish I had known location of both. They are both on one side of the house with the "kids" or "twin" rooms. Just so you know! We made it work the best we could with 8 of us! Would be so cool to see another even half bath added to this property. Also from the pictures it was hard for me to tell (and now that I have been there I can tell) that the pool is HUGE and had great seating around it. It is in the front yard when you are driving down the yard but very secluded. I can tell you they are great about cleaning. We arrived a tad early and they were still cleaning and could smell all the cleaning supplies so know they were trying to do that well with Covid stuff going on, so don't let that worry you! My only "complaint" about cleaning was under the beds was full of dust, trash from others. We were searching for kids stuffed animals and in the twin room had to go under and it was kind of gross but you wouldn't know it from just being in the room! Tom is SUPER accomodating! Very nice. Always answers his calls and texts. I love a good host! We have stayed at many many houses and can tell you this is a great location and host is nice. Could use some improvement with maybe a deeper clean and some mosquito control more often! Other than that we were mostly pleased! Oh and kitchen is stocked FULL of supplies including cleaning supplies! I love that.

We had wonderful family time

My family enjoyed our stay. It was a great place to spend quality family time together.

Property was perfect for us. We had a guys weekend, and the property worked perfectly. We were able to get boat right up to our property, use the grill, dock, and backyard to our needs. This place was perfect for us, but would work for families, large gatherings, or any kind of stays i could imagine. Thank You! Will rent again in the future,

Perfect accommodations for three families with kids. Playground was nice for entertainment since it was too cold to swim. Also loved taking the canoes out and fishing on the pier.

This was a great place to gather a large family with children. Loft beds are pretty high, and we wished for a third bathroom, but the setting is beautiful. Wonderful time! Realtor was very helpful and responsive.

This home is amazing - beautifully appointed, well-kept, everything "as advertised"! Our family of 12 adults and 5 children were all comfortably accommodated and loved the open layout of the living spaces - it made us feel "together" without being on top of each other. The owner was a dream to work with, and made it easy to reserve and access the house and all of the fun extras available. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Tom!

House was great for a group of 10 adults and one baby! About 30 minutes from Austin with some good spots (like Torchy's) pretty close by! Would recommend!
