About this property

⭐️Luxury Lake Austin: Chef, Heated Pool, Hot Tub, Waterfront Dock & Pizza Oven⭐️

Luxury French Country farmhouse off Lake Austin with fabulous waterfront boat dock to enjoy lake! This beautiful home sits on a secret street that runs along Lake Austin.

We are walking distance (6 houses) down to our private 800 square foot boat dock on Lake Austin with deck furnished with outdoor dining table, stainless BBQ grill, lounge furniture, hammock, kayaks, SUP board and gas fire-pit! This home rental does not come with a boat slip. Boat slips on Lake Austin are very rare and ours are occupied with equipment, but you can charter a wake or pontoon boat and they can pick you up at our dock. Outsourcing the fun to a sober captain is our recommendation always on our narrow lake*** Please inquire.

Our home is outfitted with luxury mattresses and bedding in every bedroom, luxury bath towels, Restoration Hardware furnishings & modern farmhouse interior design finishes throughout: rustic Longleaf Pine flooring, brick floors, oak beams and antique doors. There is also a movie room with 70" flat screen and bar area, bathrooms with steam rooms, a workout sunroom with new Peloton+ bike and weights. The home features 3 fireplaces 2 interior gas log & 1 exterior wood burning), formal living, formal dining, kids room (with tons of toys) and outdoor patio with stainless grill & el fresco dining for 10.

Perfect Host and Perfect Location

We had multiple families gather here for an annual vacation, and it was fantastic. I have stayed at dozens of VRBO properties and the welcome packet from the host, Lori, was best I have ever received. Dozens of ideas and recommendations were included and she made sure that everything was good-to-go before we arrived. The house itself is in the perfect location to access Lake Austin, Dripping Springs, and downtown Austin. The property is beautifully appointed and the pool area was perfect for hanging out - Lori arranged for a chef to come to the house for an amazing Italian feast using the very cool pizza oven, which was a 10/10. Having the private dock was also a huge bonus, and it felt very exclusive - we had a boat pick us up for a really great day on the water, and then the kids spent hours jumping off the dock. The house itself was superbly clean and well appointed, and the kids had a blast on the zipline, too. I looked at just about every property available that could be convenient to access restaurants, the lake, shopping, and still be private and fun enough to enjoy staying home, and this one delivered on all levels. I would rent this or any house that Lori manages, with no reservations - what a great stay!

Unbelievable retreat!

The house and hospitality were unmatched! We had an amazing stay and Lori was extraordinarily helpful. She gave great guidance on where to shop locally and we even booked a chef and had a big family dinner at the house… all thanks to Lori. The house is gorgeous and in pristine condition — beautifully decorated. The pool and boat dock are amazing — this house is made for entertaining! Would DEFINITELY come back. We spent a family weekend celebrating a UT graduation and the house made the weekend even more special.

Could not have had a better stay…

From the moment we booked until checkout, Lori and Daniel we proactively helpful. From offering suggestions on in-house chef and boat rentals, to suggesting grocery delivery services and fun activities to do, it truly felt like concierge servicing. House was beautiful with no surprises. Will absolutely stay again for another Austin staycation.

Family time

My family and I rented this beautiful home to gather extended family for Thanksgiving week and to be together during my sister’s celebration of life. Even though it was a very emotional time for all of us, the house provided comfort and a perfect space for us to enjoy family time together. Lori was extremely helpful providing local resources and went out of her way to accommodate us. I highly recommend this home for families visiting Austin!

Fantastic lake austin getaway

Our groUp is a young 40s group of professionals and businessman from around the country on a college reunion trip… Location is Awesome. Close enough to downtown for dining and fun. Far enough away for a retreat. Very clean Fully stocked down to seasonings for steaks and truffle salt Nice cutlery to include a shun set in the kitchen. Very fine attention to detail noticed even by a bunch of west point grads ;) Booking was easy. The owners are very communicative and can tell that they care about the renters experience. Property itself is gorgeous. A renovated charming and classy home. Very fine touches to include automated showers, toilets, sonos throughout. The dock is just a short beautiful walk down the street in a quiet peaceful neighborhood on the lake. The dock itself is very spacious with new, clean furniture, a cooler (dont have to bring your own) and just a short 2 story jump into the refreshing waters. We had a few minor issues that arose.. which is to be expected..and all of which were not the fault of the owners. they were handled very very expeditiously and happily—in other words, the place is close to perfect but should any reasonable inconvenience occur the owners will do everything they can to remedy it. Truly first class. We will be back. Oh yea! They are also building a pool pizza oven and more to make the backyard and home even more enjoyable Top 2% of all vrbo i have stayed at.

Peace and fun in equal measure

We wanted a get away where we could have peace and quiet but access to fun and found it all at Rivercrest. Lori is a pleasure to deal with and helped us make the most of our time with a great recommendation for a boat charter. The boat dock is an easy walk away and has everything you need to spend hours in the water, relaxing, cooking, fishing and watching the sunset. Everything about the house is perfect. It is incredibly well stocked and spacious, with several areas to gather and play games or watch a movie and enough space to have ‘me’ time and read in peace and quiet. We will definitely be back!

Great Austin Spot

While not directly on the water, Mustard Seed provided easy access to boat docks to hangout, play, and get access to boats. Lori and Daniel are awesome to work with, very responsive, and willing to help you out. The house is super clean and easy to navigate. Great house for big family as our older kids could use guest quarters (Separate stairway) and so when they stayed up late, they didn't keep everyone else up. Thanks for a great family trip!
