This lakehouse is fantastic. The location, on a quiet side channel on Lake Austin near Pennybacker bridge, is secluded and beautiful while still being near town, and having access to Lake Austin so easily is perfect in the heat. We were able to paddleboard right off the back yard dock!
The house itself is very cozy and comfortable, and includes a large fire pit and gas barbecue outside in the tree shaded back yard. Being able to walk from the kitchen straight out back and down to the river for lunch is a real treat.
Inside, the home easily accommondates anything from a couple to a large group or family - there is a bunk house with four bunk beds for noisy children (or adults!) in addition to the main bedrooms. We will definitely consider this home in future when we have a large group of friends or family in town - it's amazing value for money when you consider how many people it can sleep.
All in all this was a great place to stay - the host was very accommodating and provided good tips on where to eat and visit in the local area. I would not hesitate to come again.
