Lucas's Lake Austin home was the perfect vacation home for our family. There were 5 adults and 4 teenagers in our party and the well designed home accomodated us well. Being right on the water provided entertainment for all of us. Lucas has paddle boards, a canoe and other water "toys" which my whole family enjoyed. We were able to cook for our family and were happy that there was not only a large dining room table that allowed us all to eat together but also an additional table in the kitchen area. Lucas was easy to communicate with and we appreciate his hospitality.

Long weekend

Great property! Check in was smooth. The place is beautiful. We loved how the house was decorated. The beds are very firm, but that was fine with us. Also, from the house to the lake is very steep, but again, that didn’t bother us. The kitchen was well equipped. Internet was fast. Couldn’t ask for better.

A Week on Lake Austin

My family had a great experience at the house. We had everything we needed, and the serene location offered views of the lake, making each morning feel magical. The house itself was cozy, clean (except for the windows, but I didn’t say anything, and the manager was so nice, he would have probably sent someone to clean them) and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable week-long stay. This getaway provided the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, and we can't wait to return next year!

Fun on the Lake

Several friends and I moved our freshmen into their dorms at UT. We rented this house so that we had one day to hang with them on the lake before we left. We rented a boat that picked us up at the dock of this home and spent the day on Lake Austin. It all worked out perfectly! The house was nice and clean. Only 30 minutes from the UT campus. There was plenty of room for us to spread out! I would highly recommend it!

A Marvelous Escape

It was an amazing experience for us. Lucas was outstanding, communicating and resposive always to our needs. Intitially we booked for one night, but we were so mesmerized with the Colorado river, and the paddleboats and kayak's that we wanted to extend one more night. And gues what? Lucas promptly made it happen, even sweeter with a 40% discount on second night. The property was super clean, equipped with everything you need to escape for a lakefront property. We will go back in Spring or Summer again. A must VISIT.
