NOTE: My rental rates have not gone up. They still average $360/night. The nightly rate you see on the calendar now includes VRBO charges and lodging taxes.

Welcome to your private sanctuary nestled on a sprawling 2.570-acre lot in picturesque Spicewood, Texas. If you're looking for a place to have a loud party, this isn't it. This beautiful 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom waterfront oasis promises tranquility and luxury with its own beach with 130 feet of water frontage on Lake Travis. Facing the untouched beauty of the 1145-acre Turkey Bend Recreation Area, your home away from home offers stunning, unobstructed views. Designed for the ultimate entertainer, this property features expansive outdoor living spaces, including 943 square feet of decking with a top-of-the-line outdoor kitchen and fireplace. The front yard features a stone walking labyrinth, large oak trees and lush gardens. The seamless indoor-outdoor flow is facilitated by a wall of windows that frame the breathtaking views and invite natural light to flood the spacious interior. The heart of the home is the screened-in porch, perfect for enjoying the lake breeze and glorious sunsets. The thoughtful ground floor casita includes guest quarters with a luxurious private stone bath, while all bedrooms boast en-suite bathrooms for ultimate convenience and privacy. The house is beautifully furnished with a gourmet kitchen.

Experience outdoor relaxation in the shaded front garden under a canopy of majestic trees or cool off in the cowboy pool while being surrounded by nature. The property features butterfly gardens and is a bird-watching paradise. With the flip of a switch, relax to water cascading down a series of waterfalls running from the top of the property to the lake. Launch your boat at the community ramp 100 yards away.

With proximity to local gems like Krause Springs, casual and fine dining, wineries, distilleries, the charming town of Marble Falls, and Fredericksburg, Wimberly and downtown Austin 45 minutes to an hour's drive away, your Hill Country resort lifestyle awaits. Embrace this stunning Spicewood retreat – your perfect getaway.

Wonderful property. Lake views were better than I expected. Very clean with everything you need. Carla is a fantastic host. Checks in to see if all is well. One of the easiest check in and check outs we’ve experienced. Hope to visit again.

The place and grounds are beautiful! It also was the perfect setup for our family. The dogs had plenty of space to explore with our young daughter in a safe gated area. Outside the gate, the grounds were also well-maintained. We enjoyed spending time at the place, and especially appreciated the kitchen with plenty of spices and availability of high end cookware that allowed us to enjoy more time at the place. Carla (host) was also very kind and responsive prior to and during our stay. We very much enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning again.

Carla’s Lost Cove was a special experience from the moment we booked. Carla is the consummate host and it only got better when we arrived. The property was immaculate and well stocked with everything we needed, and the views were spectacular. Our favorites were morning sunrise and coffee on the screened porch, the comfy couches, blankets, and bedding, as well as cooking outside and the terrific porches. The perfect lakehouse to unwind and relax at.

From booking to departure, Carla was in constant communication. The home itself was perfect. Each room is a separate suite, with each having its own bathroom. The views were amazing. The property is secluded and very peaceful at night. Our puppy enjoyed the stay the most, having multiple acres to explore and run about. If you’re looking for a peaceful, lakeside retreat you’ve found your place. Book right away!

This home brings you peace and comfort the minute you walk in. The property is very quiet and serene. Carla was very quick to respond to any questions and provided easy check in and check out. Each bedroom has its own bathroom providing privacy to you & your guests. The beds were comfortable and all my guests talked of how well they slept. The downstairs is its own suite or casita with added living room. A spectacular view of the hills & Lake Travis are seen from both floors. The accommodations were first rate including the furnishings and decor. Thanks again, Carla. I will highly recommend this home to friends and family.

Lovely property, enjoyed everything about our stay. Host was communicative and kind. Home was lovely and well stocked with all essentials and so much more. Location was great, quiet all week long, and a lovely property to relax and enjoy nature. Screened balcony patio and lower level outdoor kitchen made for great family time day and night.
