Reviews

Exceptional
Reviews are presented in chronological order, subject to a moderation process, and verified unless otherwise labelled.
We take pride in consistently delivering 5-star experiences, so this review is not reflective of the standard we provide.
Prior to check-in, the guest was already dissatisfied due to our inability to accommodate early check-in and late checkout requests. Upon arrival, she also shared that she was experiencing an anxiety attack related to the steep driveway, which is typical for homes in this Hill Country lake area.
None of the concerns outlined in this review were raised at any point during the stay. This is especially notable given that the guest herself acknowledged we were consistently prompt and responsive in answering her questions. Had any of these issues been brought to our attention, they would have been addressed immediately.
For clarity, we do provide body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, and all towels and linens are professionally cleaned and inspected prior to each arrival.
After checkout, the home was found in a more untidy condition than usual, requiring additional cleaning time and extra fees by our team to prepare for the next guest. We did not raise this with the guest nor seek any additional compensation as a courtesy.
We remain committed to providing an exceptional experience and encourage guests to communicate concerns during their stay so they can be promptly resolved.
This is an absolutely beautiful location for lake time. A very roomy property ideal for for hosting groups for families. The heroes core is very calling and relaxing.
Very spacious, great privacy and excellent sleeping accommodations on three separate levels. Excellent kitchen and dining space too. We made several large meals and found the kitchen super well equipped. Great gathering spaces also on multiple levels. Same with outdoor spaces. Everything very functional, clean, well put together!

Thank you Jenny! We would love to host you again in the future!
We stayed here for a week with the family & loved it. The neighborhood is quiet & very pretty. The house was very clean & comfortable. It’s beautifully decorated with amazing views of the lake. The owner was very attentive to any questions we had. We’d definitely stay here again!
We were looking for a short getaway to celebrate my daughter’s college graduation and this gem was perfect! Very clean and private with so much room for outdoor fun. The stairs to the dock were very steep so not ideal for anyone with mobility challenges but for young adults and active older folks, it should not be an issue. Host was super responsive and friendly. Highly recommend if you are searching for a larger home with waterfront access!

Beautiful home with plenty of space. Good view of Lake Travis and easy access to the lake. Quite area, easy to get some good rest. Perfect place for family and friends. Property manager was communicative and pleasant. I recommended this location!
We recently stayed here as a family gathering over a holiday weekend. The house is beautiful has a well equipped with kitchen, towels for house and swimming in the River, life jackets, a few games, comfortable beds, large rooms and bath rooms, a spacious deck with Blackstone overlooking the Lake, patio with tables overlooking the lake and a game room. There is a long walk down to the lake with a dock to swim off of. Teresa, the owner communicated clearly and quickly when we had questions. Highly recommend this property.
Thank you Hector you were a wonderful guest! Left our property in fantastic shape! We do hope you will come stay with us again or even check out our Smoky Mountain Properties also listed on VRBO!
Theresa is amazing! She was so accommodating when we asked to check in early! My whole family enjoyed the house. We all had plenty of space and it was super clean.

A great weekend get away.
A short distance get away from any major Texas cities.
Private setting, stunning paronamic views, cooking breakfast while enjoying sunrise. Having dinner on another deck, watching sunset.
Got a love Texas & this place.
Great views and very spacious with great water access. Water pressure was an issue for one day. Also the ice makers in the refrigerator were not working correctly
The home was perfect, one of the cleanest vacation homes we have stayed in. It was a workout to get to the water but that is because the lake was so low. We ended up renting a pontoon boat for the day and enjoyed the scenery and dipping into the water.
Lovely, everything was thought of. The APP was very helpful. The kitchen had everything we needed including dog dishes (we forgot ours). The view was lovely, and the kids enjoyed the paddle boards.

Thank you John! We enjoyed hosting you and hope to host you again!
Very much enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful views, right on the water, and the house was spectacular. The host responded very quickly to every question I had, and she was very accommodating and willing to help. Only down side was that it was very difficult to find an Uber to pick us up from the location. However, it was easy to find Ubers from Austin to the property. Overall, this was a fantastic experience
House was clean and quiet. Little difficult to get to for the first time at night. Recommend getting there during daylight for the first time.
Otherwise the house exceeded our expectation and was great.

Thank you so much! We are a dark sky community which does make it dark at night. We are glad you enjoyed your stay!
This was the perfect property for my family.
The house was very spacious and the lake view was everything that I imagined it to be. We would definitely recommend this property and possibly book again during the summer months.
Theresa, the property owner, was always accessible and provided a response within minutes of any texts that I sent.
