Tiny Gem

The house very small, but very nice! The proximity to the water and views of Lake Austin were great. However, there are a ton of steps going to the lake and boat house. It’s pretty dangerous as they are not well lit and have no railings so it’s very tricky if mobility is an issue at all. Also, there is no cell service at all.

Fabulous Lakefront Home

Our family had a wonderful time on Lake Austin, largely due to this beautiful, extremely clean, fully loaded home. The owner and manager were extremely easy to work with and provided excellent communication. All cleaning products, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, shampoo etc were provided- which makes traveling much easier! 4 beautiful stand up paddle boards were down by the dock ready for us to use. The view is incredible. There are many areas (porches, dock, sun deck, side yard) with grills, fire pits, chairs, couches, and tables to hang out, entertain, play games etc. Grocery stores and restaurants are very close and yet it feels like you are away from the hustle and bustle - very relaxing. I highly recommend this home if you are looking for a spot on Lake Austin.

Amazing house and views

What a gorgeous house! We have stayed in many houses in many different cities, and I don’t think any can beat the incredible view from this house. The house is beautifully decorated and furnished. It was perfect for a small dinner party outside with friends (even the private chef noted how incredible the kitchen is) and for a weekend with our kids. We had an awesome time jumping into the water and floating on the giant swim mat. Inside the house, the kids enjoyed the bunk beds and TVs in each room. The street is perfectly quiet, with easy access into Lakeway for groceries and restaurants. We loved this house and hope to stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Maryanne McKenzie

After graduating with an Interior Design degree, I knew my calling was to renew spaces. This cabin was one of my first challenges. It underwent a full remodel in 2006-2007 including the landscape. It is one of my favorite spaces to retreat to for family or friend gatherings. We've celebrated graduations, holidays and laughter. This house has never seen a sad day. After multiple requests to occupy this home, I've decided that it's time to share it's magical ambiance.
