This is an incredible escape into Austin lake life. We arrived (in August) in 73-degree, rainy weather—PERFECT! The sounds and smells were amazing--rain dripping from three trees and the smell of true, fresh air. The weather quickly turned hot, but the lake was perfectly clear and cold. I immediately figured out that Shelly's escape room - screened, year-round - was my favorite spot. Our son and daughter spent hours here reading each day; and I drifted to sleep here almost every night. Shelly thought of everything. Greeting. Cleanliness. The best soaps, supplies, linens, kitchenware, spices. And she offered to provide anything we lacked. We watched countless movies. Swam in the lake (beautiful …Colorado River, actually). Enjoyed the Lilly pad, and kayaked for hours. We were in lakeshore heaven. If I had to describe this getaway in one word, it would be "serene." We will remember the experience forever. Muchas Gracias and Namaste.
