Unique, peaceful, private, and fun
Our stay at the lakefront cottage was unforgettable and awesome. Mike, the host, was very friendly and let us use his golf-cart and kayaks. Having our own lake beach access and lots of shady green space made this stay amazing. We would love to stay here again sometime and will tell our friends about it. A great spot!

Cabin on Lake Travis - what a gem!
My family and I recently stayed at this cabin on Lake Travis in Lago Vista. The home and grounds were perfect. Private access to the lake made it so convenient and easy to bring our dogs and walk back and forth between the cabin and lake. Mike was amazing and provided anything we needed. We are looking forward to booking this cabin again for family get togethers!

2 night stay
We had a wonderful time. The property and house were very well maintained and really clean. Everything we needed was there, dishes, grill, coffee maker, etc. Our favorite part was how quiet and peaceful it was sitting outside on the porch area or down by the water. Owner is an extremely nice guy and seems to go out of his way to welcome guest and make sure they enjoy their stay.

Weekend Getaway
Loved the character of the house and the location is great — direct walking/golf cart path to the water. Our two dogs loved the yard and being able to swim. We saw lots of deer in the mornings and evening. Sunrises/sunsets were amazing. House was clean and comfortable! Thanks for sharing!

Adorable cottage!
This stone, refurbished cottage is so quaint and peaceful on a large property that is water front. Michael the owner was so welcoming and let us use his golf cart to take the kids and all of our stuff back and forth to the lake. The cottage has everything we needed for our weekend stay! We had a great time and will be back!!!

The stone lake house.
Absolutely beautiful, unique and peaceful. I really the picture album of the property with the work that was done to the house. Mike greeted us upon arrival showed us everything about the house and property. We had a couple of friends visit and they were so impressed they both said they wanted to rent it in the future.
