Quiet, very private and a lovely back yard with a pool.

We had an wonderful time at the beautiful, Lost Pines Resort during our school break which was the last week in April 2026! Whether you have little kids, teens or no kids, there is much to do for everyone and we took advantage of most of it during our short 3 night stay; Pool, lazy river, pool bar, free bikes to ride throughout the property and along the Colorado River, ping-pong, corn hole, tennis, basketball, farm animal center, walking paths, etc. (the Fitness Center/gym is awesome too. There is a lovely spa and gorgeous 18 hole golf course too, but we didn't have time because we booked a UTV tour (off property with LCRA) and horseback riding which was on property. The horseback riding was amazing - my teen boys loved it too, which was even more amazing. Dining options at the pool bar were great and delicious, some items a bit pricey but that was to be expected. Mavericks was so good, we went there twice during our three night stay. Highly recommend the flank steak and the pork chop...so good! Rooms were spacious and clean, and come with a good sized mini-fridge that we stocked with some essentials. The patios/balconies are lovely for morning coffee or evening cocktails. All staff super friendly and helpful. Also, a big plus for us, we were able to do laundry before we left; free to use, not coin-op. All in all, we highly recommend Lost Pines for families. Bonus: just a short drive east of Austin! We actually day tripped downtown as it was our first time there.

Wonderful place to stay. The owner was helpful and available for any questions. Breakfast was amazing!

Clean, cozy, and the hosts went the extra mile for us. They had small birthday decor and a card set up when we arrived for my bf’s birthday. It was such a sweet unexpected gesture.

Love the cabin! Exceptionally clean, the decor is thoughtful and really adds to the “old country” cabin feel. The bed was so comfy, the reclining couch was relaxing… The host really thought of everything to make our stay perfect! We were definitely “city coming to the country” and we enjoyed every minute (our dogs, too!). Wind in the trees, collecting pine cones, nature walks, evenings on the back porch, the rain… This place is a hidden gem. We can’t wait to return!

Fantastic location, easy drive from the airport (a little over 30 minutes) and within a ~10 minute drive to tons of shops and restaurants yet is nestled in a quiet and private location and neighborhood. The house was spotlessly clean, the beds were very comfortable (which can be difficult to find in a rental!), kitchen huge and fully equipped, multiple dining areas, comfy living room with smart tv. But the star of the show for us was the private back deck with pergola and pool. So nice to wake up and sit outside listening to the birds and relaxing in and alongside the pool and hot tub. Coming from a long winter in the upper peninsula of Michigan, the sun, soft breezes, relaxation and great Texas food were just what we needed before returning for another couple months of snow.
