We had a wonderful week at our stone cabin by the lake! So quiet…saw lots of deer, jackrabbits, Egyptian Geese, cranes and a visit every morning from a hummingbird! Went fishing on the dock and caught little perch. Walked our dogs countless times each day. Watched a full moon rise over the lake…we were in another world!Mike is great! We like him a lot and he made us feel very welcome. He has kept this rustic gem thriving in the midst of ultra modern rentals.We will be back!

What an amazing stay! We needed a quiet getaway and this place was perfect. It was very clean, comfortable, private, and peaceful. We loved the easy lake access, the kayaks, the mature oaks, fire pit, fishing gear, and more. The owner, Mike, even let us borrow his golf cart to move around the property. What a great place to recharge. We will definitely be back.

This home is perfect for both brief getaways and extended vacations, featuring a semi-private location with direct access to the scenic shores of Lake Travis. The home was well-equiped with necessary kitchen items, comfortable beds, bath towels, sheets, cleanliness, and a beautiful outdoor sitting area to watch deer meander on by. We were warmly greeted by the host, Michael, upon arrival and provided with pertinent information regarding the property. His considerate gesture of having the home cooled to a comfortable temperature was highly appreciated.

July 4th Vacay

The cabin was just as described in the listing. It was a beautiful view of the water and a short walk down to the small beach. Michael, the host, was very accommodating in answering all my questions and was very helpful. While it rained most of our visit, we did get to go zip lining and play some golf. Overall, it was just what we needed--a break from Houston. I would highly recommend this location if you are looking for some peace and quiet, but still be close to fun things to do.

Absolutely Amazing

Everything about this property was exactly what anyone could ask for if they imagined a get away. It truly warmed our hearts, and our family will treasure the memories made here forever. Thank you so much Mike for opening your home to us! We enjoyed our weekend, and your company. We'll definitely reach out to stay again.

Mini Paradise

This is our 3rd or 4th stay (we lost count). We always enjoy ourselves at this property....it is so relaxing. This time we not only saw deer and the large variety of birds, we saw a jack rabbit busy at work crossing the field over and over (maybe feeding his family) and we saw a roadrunner up close and personal in the yard. The views are amazing and we are so close to the water. We sat outside most of the time and enjoyed every minute of it. The lake breeze was great. We will probably book this paradise again maybe even this year.

Hidden Gem - great location and quiet

Great Host and property. Spent 3 nights during the week and wished we had stayed an entire week. Gorgeous views, lots of deer and friendly locals. Mike (host) loaned us 2 kayaks and a golf cart to get around the property- it made loading/unloading our luggage a breeze. 2 bbq grills (one propane and the other charcoal). Rented a pontoon boat for 3 hours from s nearby company called Liquid Thrillz. Worth every penny! The lake house was very charming and clean- would definitely return.

Perfect Getaway

The cabin was awesome, the property is beautiful. Mike was super cool, let us use the golf cart, brought the kayaks to the water for us, and let us use his firewood. We cooked, kayaked, ran around with the dog, looked for arrowheads, stargazed, watched deer from the porch. It was perfect.
