Property is beautiful with a wonderful location. It poured all 4th of July weekend and every time it stopped for a few minutes we were able to get out and walk in the beautiful neighborhood.
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home in Westlake! Very clean property (thank you Ana) and the floor plan was well thought out over 3 floors. Lots of space for everyone! Communication with the owner, Charlie, was fantastic. He made us feel like part of the family! Come stay here for your next trip to Austin, you will love it!
This was a perfect home for our family reunion! The home is stunning and the view of the lake is so serene. We enjoyed the pool during the day and the front porch for evening cocktails. The location was perfect for all that we wanted to do, from hanging out at Zilker park to day trips in the surrounding hill country. Our host was very responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend!!
We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful home. It was large enough to accommodate my whole family for my daughter’s graduation from UT. Charlie, the host, was available for any questions. I would say here again!
My family and I had a wonderful experience staying at this estate in Austin during Memorial Day weekend. Five adults and three preteen children were very comfortable there. Beautiful pool, with a gas bbq perfect for grilling dinner while the children swam. Nice and quiet location, which looked and felt as through we were in the Hollywood Hills. Gracious host, whom was extremely attentive and provided fantastic recommendations for activities, restaurants, etc. Five star experience!
Friends and family gathering for the weekend. Absolutely beautiful home inside and out. You will not be disappointed. Even better than the pictures. Book it!
We had such an amazing time staying at this lovely home. It was so clean and spacious with an amazing front deck and a view of Lake Austin. The added bonus was the pool and hot tub which we really enjoyed using. It had plenty of bedrooms to fit our large group and the beds were exceptionally comfortable with nice bedding and pillows. The house is conveniently tucked in Westlake Hills which is beautiful and close to downtown. The host wa very responsive in answering any questions we had before we arrived.
Our family rented this property for 4th of July weekend and it was perfect for us! We had everything we needed. The home was clean and well stocked. Charlie was very responsive our entire stay. He went above and beyond. We would highly recommend!
The home was gorgeous.. all the amenities! Host was super helpful and communicative, We all had a wonderful visit and highly recommend this home and host! Thank you
Everything about the stay and the interactions with Charlie and Margo from reservation to checking out were exceptional.
The communications, clarity of instructions about operating the home,response to every text and the level of details were wonderful. The home is a beautiful, well maintained property with great design features and luxury appointments. The property is stocked with everything you can possibly need down to the pool towels. Highly recommend.
This home is a stunner! The photos do not do it justice. Impeccably clean. Spacious with windows everywhere. Views every direction include giant heritage oaks and Lake Austin. Host is super responsive and friendly. Quiet neighborhood; perfect for any family getaway.
We stayed here as a group of 7 adults and 2 kids. The house is spacious, clean, and well-maintained, and the hosts, Charlie and Margot, were both very communicative and accessible before and during the stay. The hot tub was great; we didn’t have a chance to use the pool. The outdoor deck area overlooking the lake was also a great place to catch up. The kitchen/pool/hot tub /master bedroom are upstairs: the other bedrooms are downstairs. All have their own bathrooms which was very convenient. Overall, we were pleased with our stay and would recommend Charlie’s property to anyone with a large group!
The home is beautiful and is nestled in the affluent neighborhood of Westlake. The hosts were very communicative and responsive. The home is fully equipped with everything, nothing was missed. The bedding situation, sheets, pillows, etc, was hotel quality and exactly the way it should be for those that seek that out. The listing does reflect that the home is one minute from the lake, giving the impression that the lake is accessible within one minute, which is not the case. The lake is in view, but to access it, there is a ten minute drive to the nearest Acess point. Overall we rate the entire experience very high.

Beautiful home, attentive owner
Just stayed at this pristine home for a girls' trip. The home fit 12 of us very comfortably. There is a bathroom in almost every room which is ideal with that many women! It has a beautiful outdoor space with a nice pool, plenty of trees, and views of the lake. The property has a newer owner so there were a few things missing such as enough plates- but the owner is so attentive he had the plates shipped to us same day (along with a blender!). Charlie went above and beyond my expectations of a home owner. He made sure we got the most out of our time in Austin- sending plenty of recommendations and answering questions immediately. Would love to return to this home and would recommend the property to anyone visiting the Austin area.
Our extended family gathered in Austin for our niece's graduation from UT. We needed a central hub to gather and enjoy one another. We hit the jackpot when we found Charlie's beautiful home. It was comfortable and brilliantly designed and incorporated the lush surrounding nature into the architecture. There is wonderful shade provided by the many mature trees. The bedrooms are arranged in such a way that there is plenty of privacy when needed. The front deck was a lovely place to sit and chat and have morning coffee or an evening cocktail. The young ones enjoyed the pool and others relaxed in the spacious hot tub. The neighborhood is a gem in the hills overlooking the Austin skyline. Charlie was super communicative and available to answer any questions before and during our stay. We would highly recommend this special home and should we ever return to Austin, this is where you'll find us.
Gorgeous home! The host was very easy to communicate with and was responsive to even the most minor questions.
The house is meticulously furnished and had everything we needed to include plenty of space. It is in an Incredible location right in front of Lake Austin. Modern, spotless and the Hottub / pool are spectacular. Spacious with comfortable king and queen beds only. It was a perfect spot for a quiet family getaway!
