Sofa bed not functional
Location is fantastic and if you only need 2 bedrooms I’m sure it’s fine although there were only enough towels for 4. There were no extra sheets which we did not discover until 9pm when we tried to make up the sofa bed. We asked for sheets to be brought and after an hour were told it was too late and it wouldn’t be until the next day. Thus, my children had to sleep on a mattress (very thin couch mattress that made us get an air mattress for the next day)with no sheets. Additionally, there was dog poop all over the yard that we discovered when our child stepped in it. We were also greeted by a roach when we walked in. When we asked for a credit we were eventually given $20 off an over 2k bill for 4 nights. (We used one night on the front end just to be able to check in early enough to enjoy the day, we only stared three nights). I have yet to see the $20, as insulting as that is to make up for sleeping without sheets. We were clear about how many people were staying, it was clear we would be using the sofa bed. However, the location really is the best, just be aware to check linens and towels and yard early enough to get what you need.

Perfect spot for relaxation
The home was absolutely perfect for us. Great spot right on the river with tons of water sport equipment. We were very comfortable in a lovely neighborhood where every day we were visited by a herd of deer that arent bothered by people. Would 100 percent recommend staying here.

Check in is at 4pm, refused to let us check in 30 min early so we had to sit in the driveway and wait (which is fine, no big deal). Check out is at 10am and at 10:15 while I was at the boat ramp 3 doors down pulling my boat out, the owner came over and made my 80 year old grandmother and 18 month old baby stand in the driveway to wait for me…

Had a disappointing experience
The good: The house was on the water and had a well/stocked kitchen and plenty of beds for a large group. The master bed was comfy. We loved the neighborhood too. The bad: Unfortunately the lawn guys disturbed us two different times. Once they awoke me from a nap mowing outside the room. Once they leaf blowed the patio when we were trying to have private time on the couch in our pjs! There was also continuous construction noise from right across from the house. So, noise was a huge issue. The decor was distasteful. It included two side tables in the shape of a person with private parts. Very strange choice for a family rental. Lastly, I left an irreplaceable item. I called to retrieve it around 30 mins after we left. I couldn’t get an answer because they kept giving me the runaround. They said they had to “Ask their local team” and that the house code had changed. They told me that continuously for 3 days. Finally 3-4 days later someone told me I could come back, use the original code, and get it from the rental. I followed their directions and the item was nowhere to be found. It was in a private locked closet but nobody would come to the property to give it to me. Nobody would even ship it back as they offered. It was thrown away. I wasted a week trying to track it down and 1.5 hours of driving to retrieve it. The management is terrible!! It would be a decent rental with different management.

Great location, comfortable for small family
Location was great. Peaceful setting right on the water. Could use some overall updating and better dishes/cups/cutlery, but kitchen was well enough stocked for a short stay. Patio fans didn't work for us and there were no trash bags left, a quick text / response to and from the mgmt company made them aware.

Great property
Only had 2 issues 1) listing says it sleeps 8 but it’s 2 bedrooms so don’t recommend for people who want privacy. 2) AC keep resetting to upper 70s which in the Texas heat was quite annoying. Otherwise great location near lake Austin. Nice and clean.

Still Great in October
Short Fall 2021 visit to this quaint area, loved every bit of it and highly recommend. We rented a boat from a local business and met them at the marina to get it for about 4 hours. The property was quiet, pleasant, beautiful, and well kept. Also enjoyed the kayak, plenty of life jackets available as well! The bar down the street was also a good spot to grab drinks and food while catching some Sunday/Monday night football! Loved seeing the deer, ducks, squirrels, fish, and even other boaters show off weight boarding skills! Can’t wait to return to this beautiful area, clean environment!

Our 4th stay
This is a wonderful place for a small family group, and of course, a boat. We pretty much stay in the boat most of the day, but the house is nice. Sofa couch, not so nice. Put the mattress on the floor but still not comfortable. This was the first time we had used that bed, but the others are fine. Hopefully they saw my note about needing a new coffee pot. Will rent again for sure.

Great vibe, quiet neighborhood, relaxing setting
The house was easy to find, easy to get into, the property management sent clear communications about check-in, door codes, wi-fi, etc. The layout of the house is interesting but totally comfortable. Obviously, you're there to enjoy the outdoors and lakeside if you get this house; you're not there for the inside. I would say that the cleaning fee is high given the space - what are they cleaning? It's a small space. Also, be sure to bring EVERYTHING you need. There is a Keurig and a regular coffee pot, but there wasn't even coffee for the Keurig so bring all the goodies you need.

Girls weekend
House is super cute and was really clean. You couldn't be any closer to the water! I appreciated the communication with the local property manager. We had an issue with one of the bathrooms and maintenance was there very quickly! Main thing to note on this home is it says sleeps 8. This is definitely not for 8 adults. They are counting two people in a double bed which definitely doesn't work for grown adults. And one of the double beds is the pull out couch in the living room and while it's a beautiful view there are no curtains on the windows at all in there. So it's very bright in the morning .

Weekend at the Lake
Great location on Lake Austin! Our family really enjoyed the view and all the water toys...paddle board, kayak, lily pad, and canoe! We loved the ducks and sitting by the chimenea. The house was open with a beautiful view and clean. I think better quality and more paper products as well as trash bags would be have been helpful. Also, there were not sheets or extra pillows for the fold out couch - we only had use of a blanket. These are easy fixes and would not preclude us from reserving this home again. Most hotels and other vacation homes we have previously stayed in have a check out time at 11 am. I am not sure why the check out is so early - but it feels like the weekend was cut a bit short and we had to hustle in the morning to be out by 10 am.
