Awesome 360 Views, Decks Galore, Wildlife, Lakelife, Austin, Texas Hill Country

JUST REDUCED! INQUIRE FOR SPECIAL WINTER RATES!

COME ENJOY THIS WONDERFUL TEXAS LAKE HOUSE - Truly original and beautiful home with rustic lodge feel and amazing waterfront views of Lake Travis from every room. Four bedrooms each with a private bathroom and balcony. The master bedroom, large master bathroom, powder room and additional bedroom are on the main level. The living area has a cathedral ceiling with floor to ceiling windows and big screen TV. The big deck off the dining area on the main level opens to the kitchen and is ideal for your morning coffee or sunset drinks. The most beautiful sunset is seen here! The upper level has another bedroom with bunk beds and loft area with pool table. The lower basement level has a quiet bedroom and large patio with gas grill.

From here, you can venture out to the expansive lot. Explore around, find crystal rocks, throw a frisbee, sit at the fire pit and roast marshmallows, swim, skip rocks, read a book, watch the deer; the sky is the limit! During your stay, take a walk down the street to the wonderful park with big playground for the kids, basketball, frisbee golf, swimming and floating in a beach-like area when the water is low, exercise by walking around the park, and launch your boat at the conveniently located boat ramps located here. Most important to note, this home is ALWAYS waterfront even with low water levels due to the flat Lot unlike many Lake Travis homes.

The Point Venture neighborhood has many amenities to offer. A mile from the home you can go to the large recently renovated pool. The gym is located here as well and the entertaining floating restaurant Captain Petes Boathouse with live music and Liquid Thrillz boat rental is here at the marina. Nearby is the golf course with Caddy Shack sports bar and tennis courts.

One of the first homes built in Point Venture with great charm gives this home the atmosphere your friends and family will cherish for many years to come. BOOK NOW AS IT FILLS UP FAST.

**Disclaimer: If you do not like unexpected nature, bugs, and weather that can come with being near the lake, or old homes that are constantly occupied with wear and tear and can come with unforeseen maintenance, and you plan to mostly be inside, watching TV, want spa amenities, eat at 5* restaurants, and do not like nature this is not the place for you. You can pay a whole lot more for that elsewhere.

Great House

My family and I had a great time staying in this home. The kids loved the pool table and dart board. The view was amazing and plenty of room outside. The owner was very assessable and helpful for things to do in the area. Thank you for your help. One day we hope to make it back for the Austin Rodeo and would love to stay her again.

Perfect for our group

We had a great time. Plenty of room in the house as well as outside. The kids had room to throw the football and play baseball. We enjoyed the deer so much. We took advantage of the neighborhood pool The only thing I would suggest is having teflon friendly cooking utensils. It would have saved your pots and pans

Deck is in need of maintenance. Very splintery. The sunsets were great and the abundance of deer was amazing. Lake water was so low it interfered with lake plans. Bummer. Overall, a good family gathering.

Poorly managed

The house is large and comfortable with great views. We were able to enjoy the weekend despite the following problems. 4 days prior to arrival I asked for check-in information. On our day of arrival Britney forgot about us and left us out in the weather. An unrealistic offer was made to make amends. Housekeeping is lacking- Paper and hair on floor at entry Hair on rugs Abundance of spider webs Dirty dishes in kitchen cabinets Excrement in kitchen drawers Maintenance is lacking- Hand railings are rough Decks are rough Televisions not working Dryer broken Bath fixtures falling off Vertical blinds not working and falling apart Window AC freezes up Cabinets don't close Master does not have a jetted tub Broken chair at dining table Dangerous step to ground bedroom Master AC dripping woke us up and was reported early to the owner. No one responded for over 4 hours. The wrong repair person arrived about 9.5 hours after report and couldn't make repairs. The scenario interfered with our plans. Rather than acting defensively with we writers, you should appreciate that we take time to let you know. Efforts should be made to rectify the continued problems.

Same Issues as Previous Renter

The issues we had staying at this house in March 2024 are the same as Lisa's when she stayed at the house in Oct 2023 (her review was posted in Dec 2023). Similar to Lisa S., we couldn't get into the house on the 1st day of our arrival. In our case we were given the wrong door code and couldn't get a hold of the host for ~40 mins. We contacted VRBO and they couldn't get hold of the host (Brittany) either. VRBO was apologetic and was about to cancel the booking and refund us when the host texted back and gave us the correct code. The house was wasn't cleaned or properly stocked with toilet paper and papers towels. We had the same issues with dust, cobwebs, and mouse droppings/feces in the kitchen. The host told us that no one had been at the house for six weeks and blamed their cleaning company for not doing their job properly. The host offered to send a cleaning person, but we declined her offer. We weren't comfortable with someone cleaning the house while we were staying there on vacation. The host did have paper towels and napkins delivered the next day, but didn't deliver any toilet paper. We also asked for a refund for 1 night, which the host/owner partially fulfilled. I experienced the same defensiveness that Lisa S. described when I asked the host/owner to follow through on the refund. In hindsight, we should have paid more attention to the previous reviews. The issues Lisa documented were not resolved in the 5 months between her stay and ours.

Fun places with some issues though

Check in was not good at all. We arrived 20 minutes after check in and still hadn’t received a code or instructions to get it. We waited outside for a good bit while trying to get in touch with the owner with no luck. We then had to call VRBO and ask them what to do. But thankfully my husband found that almost all the doors were unlocked so we then let ourselves in. The cabin is definitely older and could use a remodel on each of the bathrooms, but it was perfect for our group. There were several levels and decks which we loved, as well as plenty of tables and seating.The basement definitely felt like a basement with water damage on the ceiling, but was still cozy.The beach is not within walking distance. You could probably walk to the entrance but getting down to the water is probably another couple of miles. We were only given one key to get in and each vehicle needs a key. So that was difficult for our group of 11 to get down to the beach. We either had to walk (not happening), cram all in one car (not possible) or someone had to shuttle a group back and forth from the cabin (best option). The guy checking people in wouldn’t even let us park by the park area. So that process was a bit more inconvienant than we’d hoped. A cabin fit for a large group should definitely come with more keys to get into the amenities. The cabin definitely wasn’t fully stocked. Towels, rags, foil, ziploc etc. Loved the views and game room!!

Relaxing Locale, Beautiful Views

Britney is responsive and helpful, and followed up on the handful of requests we made. The home is situated right on Lake Travis, with direct shoreline access. Great neighbors and the neighborhood is quiet and lovely – quintessential Texas Hill Country. Abundant wildlife – white-tailed deer, squirrels, and all kinds of birds. We had a terrific time fishing off the shore and caught a total of two crappies, eight small bass, one large bass (16”), and one large freshwater drum (17”). But FYI that the lake is extremely low, adding to the long walk from the house. Those with mobility issues may have problems getting to the shore because the lakebed is exposed -- very rough and loose footing. The marina and the restaurants are WAY down at the bottom of a very steep series of steps, ramps, and connecting walkways. This is one of the original places on Lake Travis and it feels like a beloved home filled with many wonderful memories over multiple generations. But there is a LOT of deferred maintenance. A few examples include: the ceilings have cracks and peeling, the dishwasher is moldy and its rack is loose, there are a lot of cobwebs, blinds with bent slats, wobbly deck rails, some split deck boards with raised strips that could cause a trip and fall, outside light fixtures have missing grate covers and no lightbulbs, a chaise lounge has broken slats, and much of the indoor furniture is either similarly damaged or has stains. Bottomline: over the years and in all the Vrbos we’ve stayed, we’re never looking for perfection – we understand that successful Vrbos are consistently occupied and see regular use. But it doesn't feel unreasonable to expect everything to be in good repair. That said, if the details described in this review – which merely represent OUR experience and personal observations – aren’t high on your priority list, this lakehouse is a wonderful, relaxing place to stay if you have a lot of people who want to spend most of their time outdoors, enjoying the lovely views.
