I'd visited Austin but never made time to see the lake area - and the views from this house are truly lovely. (Seriously, bring your camera.) The private balcony was great for sunny days, and for my purposes the desk and internet meant I had a perfect place to work, and also enjoy that view. Location is the perfect combination of countryside but at the same time you're seconds from shops and an easy trek into the city. Thomas and Jamille were welcoming hosts, and had quick answers/suggestions to everything I asked. Really a lovely place to stay.
