Chez Elmo

Outdoor space abounds at this beautiful Hill Country haven. Affectionately named Chez Elmo, this property is set on 6.25 acres. Enjoy nearby park access to fun-filled days on Lake Travis. (There is currently no water in the cove due to drought.) A covered patio is perfect for family cookouts, and a lake-view balcony offers a quiet spot to relax and take in the expansive vistas. Inside, a spacious floor plan features large windows with spectacular views, a brand-new kitchen, and a game room with a pool table. You’ll be just a short drive from this great location to grocery shopping and dining in Lago Vista.

Wall-to-wall windows showcase sweeping Hill Country views in the main living area. Two armchairs and a sectional provide ample seating in front of the large smart TV with a DVD player. A game room offers additional social space with a pool table, TV with a DVD player, full-sized fridge, and sink. Prepare tasty meals in the beautifully remodeled kitchen, outfitted with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Find ample dining space between the kitchen bar, breakfast nook, and dining table.

This home sleeps 10 guests between two bedrooms and the game room. Sleep soundly in the primary bedroom, which offers a king bed, a twin daybed with a twin trundle, and a TV. The second bedroom holds two extra-long twin beds and a Roku TV. Providing additional sleeping options, the game room offers two twin-over-twin bunk beds and a twin-over-full bunk bed. Two guest bathrooms each have a tub/shower combination.

Cook out on the covered patio, which features a gas grill, alfresco dining, and a cornhole game. Or, relax on the furnished covered balcony complete with partial lake views. Follow the stairs down the hill to the private dock, which fits a standard-sized boat. Added perks include two kayaks, tubes and floaties, ski belts, and life jackets.

For swimming, fishing, hiking, and picnicking head a little over a mile to Arkansas Bend Park.

Worst Experience Ever
This is through Vacasa rentals. I explained the same in Vacasa reviews also. They are least bothered about customers. We had issues with bad smell in the house, water smells like poop, my daughter caught rash etc., I literally asked them to move us to different place with all the issues in the house. They mentioned they will help the situation but intentionally didn’t help anything. They don’t even check the supplies like grill gas, tidy towels , blankets etc., We called 10 times in 3 days stay but now if the issues are addressed. They just ignore customers. They messed up my vacation. Hopeless rentals. Thanks.

Needs maintenance
Pictures looked way nicer. And place was not well prepped. Grill didn’t work. Many Lightbulbs were out. The automatic deadlock didn’t work. Had to call to get access via secondary key box. Pool table was rundown. Pocket baskets were busted so balls dropped straight to ground. The sectional in the living room wasn’t attached so it slide all over the place. The neighborhood was rather rundown as well. So wasn’t very pleasant to walk our dogs.

Unsure
This is a beautiful clean home in a very peaceful area. There is a camper on the property that is not listed in the rental listing. We also think that the listing is misleading as far as the proximity to the dock. There are almost 200 steep steps to the dock. Once down there it is beautiful. We had some weird things happen with the doors, as in came back after being out and twice, doors were open. We noticed a door was unlocked in the basement one night when tucking our kids in. Ultimately we decided it was not safe to stay there any more and left 3 days early. The beds are comfortable and sitting outside relaxing was very peaceful. The dishwasher did not clean the dishes, and there was not hot water in the kitchen faucet. The kitchen was well stocked.
