Cliff side Oasis

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Perch on the expansive 1,200 square foot deck shaded by mature oak trees and take in expansive Hill Country views at this four-bedroom cliffside house on the banks of the Pedernales River arm of Lake Travis.

Your single-story rental boasts 2,364 square feet of gorgeous living space with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a hammock. The grand living space features exposed ceiling beams and stylish furnishings. Sprawl out on two sofas and armchairs for relaxing gatherings surrounded by the valley's natural beauty viewable from the floor-to-ceiling windows lining the exterior wall of the home. Enjoy game night in the family room on the complimentary 12’ shuffleboard, use the complimentary dry-erase easel for Pictionary, or take advantage of the Starlink internet to play games on your phones together! The well-equipped kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops and an island with seating for guests - perfect for chatting with the chef! Gather for a feast paired with Hill Country views at the dining table.

The large, fenced yard is great for kids! Fire up the gas grill and dine alfresco at the table on the sprawling deck, or set a charcuterie board on the gazebo bartop overlooking the cliff-side of the river. Savor a drink at sunset under the string lights; it's extremely peaceful and beautiful in Hill Country.

Once the sun sets, cozy up around the gas firepit and relax under the country stars. Enjoy new patio furniture under the gazebo surrounded by mosquito netting.

The main suite is a crown jewel with a TV, wraparound views of the valley through floor-to-ceiling windows, and an en suite bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. An equally indulgent second bedroom boasts bluff and valley views.

Savor local flavor at Spicewood Vineyards and Stone House Vineyard tasting rooms - both located close to home. A prime location with over 18 nearby wineries and vineyards in this lush, secluded area just 32 miles from Austin.

Wonderful stay with family and friends
We had a great time at the cliffside oasis. The deck lived up to the pictures and enjoying coffee while sitting outside looking out over the cliff was a highlight for me. My family loved playing shuffleboard and the large dining table gave us plenty of room for game nights. The property has a great layout and everyone had lots of space to relax, hang out, or retreat. We would recommend this property and happily stay here again.

Excellent, but bring your own hangers.
Beautiful, clean, great baths and bedding, fully stocked kitchen, fabulous view, heat and water and a/c just fine. THREE HANGERS FOR SIX PEOPLE. Our contact said, "most people bring their own hangers to rental properties." Well, no. But a tiny problem in an excellent rental house.

Nice view!
Great place! We really enjoyed the home. The property manager was very responsive and made the stay even better. The only negative was the stairs to the boat doc was damaged so we could not really enjoy the water.

Solar Eclipse Weekend
Our group of seven adults had a wonderful time, and felt very lucky to view the eclipse from the front lawn of Cliffside Oasis. The location is very quiet; you definitely feel you are out in the country. Believe the reports of low water levels, which didn’t impact us but would be disappointing for anyone who was hoping to boat or swim. We cooked all our meals and found the kitchen to be well-equipped. The gas grill was very handy. We would return to this location again.

Beautiful property with incredible views
We really loved our stay, and the photos really don't do the view justice. Our only issues were that the door is difficult to get open (3 separate people thought the lock was broken) and the staircase to the dock could use some sturdier railing.

Panoramic views!
Pros: nice large deck overlooking the river, spacious living area and bedrooms, well stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, quiet, propane grill, tabletop shuffle board, great for our group of 5 retirees. Cons: AC controller programmed to continually reset temperature to 76 degrees, one bathroom missing a shower rod & curtain that was never resolved even though we notified the management company several times and were promised the issue would be addressed so the shower was useable wiithout flooding the bathroom.

Beautiful view
We had a lovely time. House was nicely furnished and maintained. The dock was a great addition as we enjoyed bringing our boat. A few negatives, the lake access is more like a huge dangerous cliff climb of stairs. Wish this had been more accurately listed. Also, house had horrible nats swarming in most rooms with majority in the kitchen island area. Overall, we battled nats, got great legs and cardio workouts and enjoyed the each evening on the deck with the sound of cicadas singing. It is a peaceful, beautiful space.

Great stay...should say no wifi
Everything was great. If you go over a 1GB you get charged a certain per GB. I Just think with say and age and having kids with their tablets/iPad. Might as well say there is no WiFi. But other than that it was a great stay. If you have kids that want to be on WiFi. This isn’t the house to stay.

Lakeside Villa
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay very much. We spent 4 nights at the Lakeside Villa. We had two families all together and felt there was plenty of room. The views were spectacular. We enjoyed coffee and evening wine on the large deck. We rented a boat and spent most of our time on the water or on the dock. We also traveled to the local vineyards and breweries on our last day. Be aware that the walk from the house to the dock is a hike, and would not be suitable for everyone. Also, from the pictures, it looks as if there are two bunk rooms, but in fact, there is only one. On the upside, the entire mast suite is very large and so is the kitchen island. There are plenty of beds and baths for everyone. I am giving the home a four-star rating because there were some general upkeep issues that need addressing. I have made the property manager aware of the items, and with little effort, those items can be fixed (dirty windows and doors, broken dishes, broken dishwasher, broken barstool, Curtains falling, and old deer feed in the pantry).

Overall recommend, few details that need to be improved.
The property is great and using the dock is great. The deck is wonderful and the location is amazing! However, it was not listed in the details that paper towels, trash bags or kitchen basics (foil, plastic wrap) would NOT be supplied. When trying to obtain these supplies a support person was sent out but they never showed up. An additional code to a closet was given but there was no extra supplies that were needed in that closet. We ended up buying all supplies ourselves. Also no additional toilet paper beyond 2 rolls per bathroom was provided. Also the thermostat was not actually able to be controlled, as we would set to lower temperature at night and it was reset back to 76 degrees and we would wake up sweating- this does not seem okay when it is 90-100 degrees outside. The grill outside had no grease pan and there was grease leaking down by the propane source- when first turning on the grill this was a major fire hazard. Again, the property is great but when you are paying a lot of money you expect things to be a certain way and they fell a little short. I also think early check in should be available.

Nice house, good location, just a few notes
Nice house, spacious, and beds were all comfortable. Patio was great. Beautiful view. Kitchen was large but a really odd design. We kept having to step aside to get to basics because of placement of fridge, vs. trash, vs. sink, vs. stove. With more than two cooks, this would become annoying. The photos didn't make it clear to me the bunk room shares a bathroom with the second king bed, while the queen bed gets it's own bathroom. That was disappointing. All the reviews were clear about the stairs to dock, but not showing photos is a bit disingenuous. Half of our group never even went down due to the lack of handrails. There's a home being built next door, so don't plan to sleep in. Which you won't do anyway, because of the accent windows in the bedrooms that flood the rooms with light very early. The really odd thing was a total lack of cleaning supplies. There was bird poop on a window and bugs in the large window sills that I would've liked to have cleaned. But there was not even counter top cleaner. Until we picked up 409 we were having to soap the island down and then wipe it down after messy meals. We even ran out of dish detergent. As for local stuff, we rented a boat from Briarcliff Marina for a day and went to a winery another. Great location for those things.

Perfect house with a perfect view in Spicewood, Tx
We couldn’t find any fault at all with the house, it was perfect! Everything the was spotless! The size of the rooms and bathrooms were large enough to allow us plenty of room for our luggage and extras while traveling. Everything was well taken care of! They had a shuffleboard and the patio was not only huge with a great view but had plenty of seating and a fire pit. The directions on using the amenities of the house and having everything labeled was so helpful to us. We will definitely rent this house again in the near future!

Fantastic stay
Our family really enjoyed everything this spacious home had to offer. The lawn and backyard areas down to the dock were freshly mowed and cleared allowing for easy access to the dock and river. Would definitely like to return with better water levels but that’s on Mother Nature. Fully stocked and spacious kitchen with every tool and kitchen necessities one could want for meal preparations. 10/10 would definitely book again.

New Year getaway
The best part about this property was the view and open concept. Was disappointed with a few things. Especially since this was not a cheap rental. Lighting is terrible out front. We drove in late and there was no lighting. Thankfully, our phones have flashlights (not easy to hold up your phone while lugging luggage and groceries). We had to reach out to the property manager about the front lights not working. We couldn't access the ones in front of garage (door is locked) and after they gave us the code for the utility closet. We had to replace bulbs ourselves. They have some solar lights towards the door but most were broken or just no longer worked. The back deck string lights are also solar so didn't work most of our stay given there was overcast. We couldn't find the switch to turn on the lights that run in between the back trees. The way down to the boat dock is extremely dangerous and nerve-wracking. Some railing was missing and steps bent. We had to basically bring all items (salt, oil, hand and dish soap, toilet paper, etc). Most properties we have rented before always have the basics (oil, salt, pepper, soap, toilet paper, etc.). Again given this property was an expensive rental, you'd think these basic items would be provided. Property management was responsive and kind. There was a mixup with the pack-n-play. Had reached out days before to confirm they had one for our toddler. They confirmed they did. Upon arriving, they did not have one. Staff was apologetic for the mix-up. Thankfully, they had an extra toddler size mattress we were able to use for our toddler. House was spacious enough for the entire family. Bathroom locks didn't work well. We had to take trash out, take bedding off, and put a load of towels in the wash before departing. Again, not a big deal. But when you're paying to getaway... You'd think the property management would handle those things. Especially, given the cleaning fee is crazy. Hope the improve as the property was nice. We enjoyed spending the time as a family. Mostly playing games and chatting. Calm and quiet spot.

A great place with a great location!
We rented this house to be close to family at Christmas, it was one of the best looking places available as many are small or farther away. The house lived up to the descriptions, very clean and easy to get in with the keyless lock and excellent communication. The house has four real bedrooms with three full baths. The only problem that we had was burned out bulbs in the front (or a hard to find switch!) and we could not turn on the lights on the deck, but we really did not need those for this trip. Overall very nice and one of the best Airbnb rentals I have had with the description truly matching the space. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Great gime
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a between holiday get together. First in 7 years. The property is wonderful. Plenty of room for the 9 of us. Well equipped for basic cooking and deck space. Had a GREAT time. The only things where upon arrival the smoke alarm was chirping which upon a call the told us they would TRY to have someone come out, which happened after 10:00 PM. (These batteries need to be changed with the time change as we all know). Also there is some screws sticking up on the deck that need to be tended to. Upon entry there where no light to guide entrance and the landscape trim at the entrance is pulled up and causes a trip hazard (we placed a rock on top to make it noticeable. The entrance zone could use some attention and regular cleaning and light. Would we go back? Absolutely!It is a GREAT place with plenty of room and a wonderful view of the water.
