Lyle's place is fantastic. I lived in Austin for sometime and I can tell you that this place is very unique. It's the closest place you can get to the water without being lakefront. There are two docks close by for easy use with your own boat (or rental or party-barge) and his place is a stone's throw away from Mozart's Coffee, Abel's on the Lake and Hula Hut - all of which provide the only commercial lakefront experiences to speak of in Austin. Lyle's place was clean, fully stocked with everything we needed and he was a very gracious, courteous and communicative host. Can't wait to stay there again!!
