Lake Travis Art Retreat - Private/Pet Friendly

Stylish, modern farm house on 1/2 acre with lake views at Lake Travis in a beautiful, quiet, lake community located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, just outside Austin. Accommodating 9+, the lake is assessable by a short, 2-minute walk w/ private park lake access. The pics speak for themselves.

Perfect for families & diverse groups we offer a dedicated baby room, doggie doors with secured fences & 3 outdoor patios.

Near Pace Bend Park, Luck Ranch, Breweries, Distilleries & more!

-The Property

A picture is 1000 words so please let them tell the story.

As true Austenite's and accomplished Super hosts, we’re dialed in where comfort comes first and fun meets functional. This home is a lot of fun to design.

The spacious floor plan accommodates large groups well, with the home's crown jewel being a second story patio coming off the primary offering views of the lake, stars & hills! With 8-foot privacy fences on ½ acre there’s lots of room to sprawl. Fun art & colorful accents fill the walls making this a destination you’ll remember.

-The Lake

The lake is visible throughout the house & you’ll have access to a private neighborhood park, with a boat ramp (usable when lake levels permit) accessible by a 2 minute walk. This park butts up to the main body of the Colorado River so the lake remains accessible even with its fluctuating levels. You can walk or drive down to the water to spend a day in the sun or rent water crafts from the Briarcliff Marina or other nearby businesses.

-Living Areas/ Patios

The main living room offers an open floor plan set up for entertaining w/ vaulted ceilings, tons of natural lighting & many creative touches you’ll enjoy. With a large, 75” TV/ soundbar & fun/ functional furniture you’ll spend a lot of time in this space.

There are three outdoor patios on the 1 ⁄ 2 acre lot to enjoy, most notably the 2nd story patio coming off the primary that looks at the lake & stars.

-The Rooms

The primary room is spacious with a king bed, private bath & balcony with seating for 6. The large, over-sized, climate controlled walk-in closet has been set up for families with babies, offering a crib, rocking chair & other necessities.

Guest Room 1 offers a King bed sharing a detached bathroom with the Bunk Room where you’ll find a Queen bunk bed, built for adults, accommodating 4.

All rooms have large, new Smart TV’s w/ Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Max, Prime, etc. High speed internet throughout the house.

-Backyard/ Pets

We know people love their animals so you’ll find 2 dog doors that lead into a securely fenced backyard. We also know people love their privacy so we’ve built 8 foot privacy fences separating adjacent houses so you can privately enjoy the entire ½ acre lot.

-The Area/ Neighborhood

The neighborhood is safe & quiet with lots of wildlife located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, encompassing Spicewood, Lakeway, Briarcliff, Marble Falls, and Austin. Area offers a unique blend of natural beauty, rolling hills, pristine lakes (Travis, Austin & Buchanan) & is really an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. Visitors enjoy a myriad of recreational activities, from hiking at Pace Bend Park, water sports on Lake Travis to spirit tasting at dozens of vineyards, breweries & distilleries that are close by.

Additionally, the thriving cultural scene in Austin provides live music, diverse cuisine, and a dynamic arts community.

-Who we are.

If you appreciate the style of this house please check out our other rental properties located in Central Austin & Terlingua/ Big Bend that have been designed with the same level of fun & creativity.

We have strong roots in Texas/ Austin & support the local arts scenes often collaborating with local artists.

I’m open for conversations & projects around design & property management.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Rooms were clean and comfortable. Check in was easy. The house itself was bigger than it looks in the pictures. There were lots of bugs/spiders around the exterior, on the patios, etc. Water pressure was low and it was clear that some of the house had been redone quickly and cheaply but overall it was a nice and comfortable stay. The glow in the dark ping pong table was the highlight for me. The lake is truly just a short walk down the driveway and easily accessible. Kitchen was nice and had lots of spices and cookware stocked.

A quiet neighborhood in the hills

The house was great in almost every way. It’s clean and well maintain. We loved the dog door and back yard area for the fur babies. It’s a quiet street with a gate for lake access and a lil park very close. I would like to visit again with more time to enjoy it. My only complaint is that to get to a restaurant of any kind means a drive down from the hills. So- bring something for breakfast if you wake up starving, like I do, and you’ll be all set to enjoy this peaceful retreat. Oh, and use the countertop because that table is an art piece and impossible to clean or even set a plate flat on it.

Hidden gem

This house was amazing! It was exactly how it was advertised and so beautiful. I loved all of the cool art and decor it has. It’s a great location, only a 5 min walk to the lake and there are a lot of amenities to use in the kitchen and bedrooms. Super clean and easy to access. A great stay for a great price. I highly recommend!
