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

What a super location for a family staycation. We live in Austin but this was special. Brought our boat and water toys (and dog) and really had a great time. David the host is great, and we met some of the neighbors also really nice.

This little house was located on "On the Lake Road" in Lake Austin Village. This older home was perfect for a get-away weekend. Inside, the rooms were comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked and the one bathroom was updated. The back porch has a jacuzzi, and the top deck on the dock had perfect views of the Colorado river and sunset every night. The backyard is fenced so kids & pups can play. There is easy access to the water with plenty of things to do including kayaks, paddleboards and other toys to enjoy the waterfront. The dock gives easy access for loading & unloading onto a boat. On this weekend, there were neighbor's boats in the 2 dock slips and thus, not available to store our boat at the dock overnight. We launched our boat off the trailer each day. Luckily, the Quinlan Park public boat ramp was only a few blocks away. Quick note on the driveway... it is tight and there are cars that park along the road in front of the house which made backing a boat trailer into the driveway challenging. Be sure to arrive during the day so you have good light to manage the driveway, if you have a trailer. Lake Austin was a busy place on the weekend, and there were boats up & down the river all day. The water and the lake front properties were absolutely beautiful. All in all, this was a perfect way to end the summer on a boat and at the lake. Thank you, David, you were an awesome host.

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.
