Renovated Historic Lakefront Gem Overlooking Lake Travis and Jones Brothers Park

This gem is one of the original homes of historic Jonestown with all the modern amenities you could ask for – even a hot tub!

Start your day with breakfast overlooking the lake from one of our two spacious front porches. From there you can walk down to Jones Brothers park for a sunshine-filled day by the lake, lounging and playing on the large grassy lawn. We have everything you need:

-Eight Chairs
-Plenty of beach towels
-Two kayaks
-Life jackets in kid and adult sizes
-YETI cooler
-Cornhole and badminton sets
-Football, basketball and soccer balls
-A portable wagon to transport chairs, cooler etc. down to the lake
-Tennis courts, a jungle gym and basketball hoops down at the park

BE CAREFUL walking up the steps to the house or down the steps to the lake. The steps are old and at times stones can be loose.

If you care to boat or jet ski there are public docks on the water directly next to the house. There are several companies on Lake Travis that rent ski boats, pontoon boats, party barges, jet skis etc. if you’re interested in exploring the lake. Water levels fluctuate over the course of the year. If you want to know water levels just ask! The Jones Brother’s Park has a large playscape, baseball diamond, basketball courts, covered picnic areas, and lots of lakeshore and places to play.

We have you covered for cooking:

-New 5 burner grill
-KitchenAid appliances: stand mixer, blender, tea kettle, toaster
-Luxury coffee maker and coffee grinder
-Wine fridge
-OXO and Kitchenaid kitchen tools
-Table service for 8
-Pitcher, margarita glasses, wine glasses, tumblers- everything you need to enjoy an evening lounging on the porch
-Coffee and sugar are provided, as well as a variety of teas.

In the living area we have a spacious living room with a big screen 60 inch TV to enjoy a movie, Netflix or a sporting event with the whole family or group. We also have plenty of board games and puzzles to enjoy.

We also have a large wood-burning fireplace that makes the house even cozier during the winter!

We have three bedrooms. The master features a king bed and a spacious walk in closet. Our second bedroom has a queen bed. Our third bedroom has a full bed with a twin sized bunk on top, making it flexible for children or more adults.

We have two bathrooms – one upstairs with a shower and a bathroom downstairs with a vintage clawfoot bathtub – perfect for drawing a bubble bath and reading a book after spending a day on the lake. There is also a showerhead above the clawfoot bathtub.

Our house is 30 minutes from downtown Austin and 45 minutes from the airport, making it a perfect getaway for South by Southwest, Austin City Limits Music Festival, or UT football weekends.

There are some dining options close by including Rounders Pizza within walking distance and Quetzal Mexican Restaurant a 5 minute drive away. Around a 15 minute drive away you can find an HEB grocery store, a Super Target, and a Costco, as well as a huge variety of dining options, including the famous Lucy’s Fried Chicken.

We are committed to our guests having an amazing lake trip. In the event you need our support, or have questions about the property, we’re happy to assist over to phone. In the event of an emergency we are able to come to the house as we live within driving distance.

In light of recent global health issues we have doubled down on cleaning anything you will touch - light switches, remotes, etc.

Rules worth noting:

-No bachelor/ bachelorette parties, wild parties or large/ loud events. Our property is suited for friend and family-oriented vacations and reunions.

-Only the number of guests on the reservation are allowed on the property unless an arrangement with the owners has been approved.

-The house has a septic system and it is vitally important that nothing but toilet paper goes down the toilet. Trash cans are provided in all the bathrooms for feminine hygiene products, tissues, paper towels, or any other trash.

-Parents/guardians must watch and be responsible for children at all times.

-Please be respectful of our neighbors and comply with the city noise ordinance after 10:00.

-No parking on the grass or on the street. Please only park in the driveway or in the car port behind the property.

-A parking map and additional guidelines will be provided prior to your visit.

Perfect place for my wedding party!
My wedding party and I stayed here for a few days leading up to and after the big day. It was perfect - a great amount of space (both personal and shared), amenities, and supplies! We enjoyed sitting on the porch and feeling the Texas summer breeze! Super responsive and accommodating hosts.

Great Home
We stayed here for a wedding we were going to. The house is so clean and comfortable. The lake is dried up, but the park is so nice across street. We enjoyed our stay.

Great family home
Very comfortable stay. It was unfortunate that the lake was dry - we found a place recommended by the owner and the property manager to rent stand-up-paddle boards and kayaks about 20 min away. Adult family oriented home.

What an Amazing Vacay!
The property was in excellent condition; the host was super responsive and accommodating. We loved our time on the porches! The activity shed came in clutch with all-size life jackets for our lake day—nothing negative to report here. Stairs were a bit taxing for my older parents, but hey, the house is over 100 years old and built into the side of a hill, so, yeah, it’s worth the climb!

Gorgeous views from the front porch and upstairs balcony help make this phenomenal stay a wonderful experience. Add the fireplace and hot tub to the mix and it’s down right fun.

Very nice stay out of the city
We stayed during spring break for a few days. Lots of things to do with kids in the area. Hiking was great. House is beautiful and was perfect for our family. Awesome 2nd story balcony to relax on. Unfortunately the lake level is low this year so the view of the lake is missing. Would definitely go back, especially when the lake level is back up.

Had an AMAZING trip!
The house was perfect!! We had such a great stay and totally recommend coming here for a friend gathering! The property was on such a big lot it felt super secluded! The living room upstairs was super cool for game day! The front porch and balcony were definitely two of the highlights!! Would come back in a heartbeat!
