Amazing!
We absolutely loved our stay! The property was beautiful and had everything we could have needed! The location was perfect! You can tell the owners, Josh and Natalie, put a lot of thought into making guests feel welcome and at home! Communication was excellent! They were so helpful before our stay with many different recommendations! Check-in was easy, and every detail was taken care of. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely stay here again. Loved that we could bring our fur baby too! We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a fantastic getaway! The stairs to the water are no joke, though!

We had a wonderful stay at this lake house. The trip was kinda last minute last trip before school started we lucked out that it was available. This place is so wonderful with tons of amenities and was clean, maintained and the hosts were such welcoming and helpful people. The house and layout and etc. was as described from the websites so no surprises there. Plenty of space for our party of 6.We were fortunate that Lake Travis was full this year/summer 2026 as the water was just perfect. We also particularly enjoyed the pool and deck life watching lovely sunsets and sunrises. We also had our furry family members with us and these hosts thought of everything. They even had a doggie waste station with pickup tools. Never had that amenity at a VRBO rental before. One thing we probably were not prepared for was all the stairs but then again we were flat landers from the Houston area . We haven't climbed that many stairs in years going up and down to the lake and getting up and down to the pool area or lower yard. So, be sure to keep that in mind if your party includes old people, babies/toddlers and even some pets. But if you don't mind the trek, a treat awaits you at the bottom.
Beautiful home, with beautiful views & pool & hot tub were enjoyed by the whole family! Check out day was hard to do, we wanted to stay longer! Would return!
Amazing property with very communicative owners! Appreciated the small touches like snacks and water left for us at check-in. We had a great bday weekend for my husband enjoying the view and excellent pool. Would definitely stay again!
Property was fantastic. Very spacious and clean, easily slept 8 people. Pool and backyard were great for enjoying the World Cup on the TV and the lake views were amazing. Hosts were reachable within minutes and the patio grill was awesome. Great place to stay for Lake Travis.
This property is incredible and has the best hosts we’ve ever come across!! We held our small wedding in the backyard and it was absolutely magical. The house is incredibly clean and well maintained and the pool and hot tub are spectacular. The hosts were so welcoming and did everything they could to make our stay pleasant and easy. They are incredibly kind people. Do not hesitate to book, it’s absolutely lovely and everything we could have hoped for.
This house was everything we asked for and more!!! The hosts were incredibly responsive if anything was needed. The house was in immaculate condition when we arrived, and was the perfect location for us on the lake. The house was also an exceptional spot for our dogs, and they enjoyed the enclosed backyard space to play. The pool and hot tub were a huge bonus too. We stayed for spring break and had the most incredible time and agree this was one of the best houses we have ever stayed in.

This place is AMAZING!
We had a great time at this beautiful lake house! Spectacular view of the lake, and it has everything - pool, hot tub, dock, balconies set up perfectly for entertaining and al fresco dining, well furnished kitchen, comfy beds - basically, all the amenities you could wish for. Great communication from the hosts, who were so helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back!
From the moment we booked u til we left the hosts were welcoming, helpful and kind! The house and the grounds are gorgeous and well kept. Every detail has been thought of, including a gourmet kitchen, a sound system that plays throughout the entire house and a gorgeous sunset every evening. We will be back!

Thank you for the kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the home, the sunsets, and all the little details. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to have you back anytime!
This place is really great! It's spacious, beautifully appointed, and modern. There are several Tv's, music speakers, and lake views everywhere. We were there 4 nights and had four amazing sunsets, off the deck! It's quiet and peaceful. The pool is great, the grassy area for your pets, very nice. The owners are easily accessible and attentive. We'd definitely will come here again, and tell our friends!

Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the sunsets, views, and all the spaces to relax — especially with your pets. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to have you back anytime. So glad the pool and deck hit the mark for a perfect Lake Travis getaway! 🌅
It's a very nice, clean house with a beautiful view of the lake. The only drawback was the grill, which didn't work as expected, but other than that, we had a great time.

Thank you for the 5-star review and kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the house and the lake views. Sorry to hear the grill didn’t work as expected — we’ll definitely check it out asap make sure it’s fully functional for future guests. Appreciate the feedback!
Lovely place. Great views, The owners, had snacks available and coffee at check in. The Salt water pool was nice and had pool toys available. We even held a Golden Tee championship. Looking forward to our next stay.
The perfect getaway - your search is over. Book now!
This home is truly a gem! The views of the rolling hills and the beautiful water are absolutely breathtaking and so peaceful that you can hear the birds chirping as you sip your morning coffee on the balcony. I was able to use the office to get some work done. My kids had a blast swimming in the pool while the adults relaxed in the hot tub, taking in the serenity.The house itself is clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained which is ideal for a family vacation or a quiet escape with friends. I loved the thoughtful touch of chips and salsa and a couple water bottles upon check in. After a long car ride that was perfect to hold us over until we got groceries from HEB not far away. We also enjoyed having frozen yogurt at Menchies- also nearby. You couldn’t ask for a better host. Communication was excellent and check-in was seamless. Everything was easy and stress-free from start to finish. Oh and I can’t forget to thank the hosts for being pet friendly. We won’t travel without our four legged friends. We can’t wait to return. This was the perfect escape in every way!

Our family had a wonderful stay at the house. It is a beautiful property and the owners are very kind. We loved the location close to Austin and the view is great. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. Very clean and well kept.
We needed an early summer vacation before our college student went back for summer classes and the sunset house didn’t disappoint! Everything was so clean and smelled so good. Loved the little touches left by the hosts, especially the chips and salsa! After a 3.5 hour drive, it was the perfect snack. The view is gorgeous!! We enjoyed the pool and hot tub every day, had lunch at the Oasis restaurant, and explored the Inner Space Caverns! Will definitely book again!

Heaven in the Hill Country
The house was absolute PERFECTION! Not only was it well-appointed, but it was meticulously clean and aesthetically stunning. Common areas were comfortable and roomy. Bathrooms were nicely appointed and the owner's bathroom was enormous and such a nice place to get ready for the day. Bed linens were bright white, super soft and so inviting. All the furniture was well-kept and fit the house's aesthetic perfectly. The outdoor spaces were outfitted with lots of comfortable lounge furniture and were such an inviting place to spend mornings drinking coffee and admiring the gorgeous hill country views at sunset. Everything was so lovely that the low lake water didn't factor into our stay at all. Many restaurants, quick stops and a great HEB not too far...maybe 15 minutes from the house. It was a dream and the perfect place to celebrate our daughter's graduation with our family. Thank you for having us! The Reed Family are big FANS of Sunset House!!
We had the best time at the Sunset House!! The house is fabulous and the views are incredible! We had so much fun! We especially loved the hot tub, the pool and The Golden Tee Golf game. Being able to bring out dogs was a huge bonus. Josh and Natalie were amazing to work with. They really went out of their way to make sure we had a great trip. I would definitely stay here again!

We're especially glad your pups got to join in the fun too. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
I’m so glad I got to stay at this house! The pool and hot tub were perfect nestled in a quiet hill overlooking the lake. We had access to the city’s excitements but the house was such a peaceful getaway. 100% would book again.

Thank you for the kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting and got to relax in the pool and hot tub. It’s great to hear the location gave you the best of both worlds. We'd love to host you again anytime!
We loved our stay at The Sunset House! It’s beautiful, clean, well-appointed, and had great amenities for our family group of 18yo and our dog. The weather was lovely, so we enjoyed the two outdoor patios for grilling, eating, and lounging, as well as the outdoor spa and deck chairs. The fenced, grassy yard area was convenient for our medium-sized dog. We also enjoyed the Golden Tee and arcade games, as well as the provided inflatable standup paddleboards. The location is convenient to a dog park, grocery, and restaurants. We would definitely visit again!
