Also, if you go to an outdoor space, look up, and click the cloud with the arrow, then you will also get a tour of Austin! Enjoy!

Step into a world of comfort and style as you enter this beautiful home. The living room, adorned with expansive windows, fills the space with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Unwind on the sleeper sofa while watching your favorite shows on the large smart TV or connect with high-speed Wi-Fi for a seamless streaming experience.

The fully equipped kitchen, complete with a dishwasher, offers everything you need to prepare delicious meals. Adjacent to the kitchen, the elegant dining room provides ample space for your group to enjoy meals together. The Sonos speakers throughout the house ensure you can enjoy your favorite music in every room.

On the main floor, the primary bedroom features a luxurious king bed and an en-suite bathroom with a double vanity. Downstairs, you'll find two queen bedrooms, each with a hanging chair, perfect for a relaxing read or simply taking in the view. The bunk bed room, with its four built-in twin beds, is ideal for children or additional guests. All beds are fitted with custom luxury hotel linens, ensuring a restful night's sleep.

The lower level of the home boasts a game room equipped with a kitchenette, fridge, pool table, and other games, providing endless entertainment options. This level also grants access to the enclosed porch, a serene spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Both full bathrooms are stocked with all the essentials, including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers. The in-unit laundry, located on the bottom floor, ensures you have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along for the adventure but note that we don't have a fenced in area for them.

The property features two expansive decks, perfect for taking in the stunning hill country views. One deck is open with comfortable furniture and a hanging chair, ideal for soaking in the scenery, while the other is screened in, perfect for enjoying the fresh Texas air in the evenings. The decks are perfect for relaxing outside or BBQing.

Parking is available in both the upper and lower driveways. The upper driveway has an electric vehicle charger available and offers a steep walk down some stairs, while the lower driveway requires climbing 61 steps but provides easier parking. As with any lake house, there are a lot of stairs on this property. We recommend exercising caution on any of our stairs, inside or out. Please inquire if stairs cause an issue with your guests. Be sure to read our detailed parking instructions to choose the best option for your needs.

Please note that Lake Travis is a dynamic reservoir known for its fluctuating water levels, designed to capture water during rainy seasons and conserve it during drier periods. It has been a couple of years since water has been behind our property, and it is currently a field where the water once was. For guests interested in monitoring the lake's water levels during their stay or planning their waterfront activities, up-to-date information can be found by searching "Lake Travis Water Level". We remain hopeful that the water will return soon, adding to the beauty and adventure of staying near Lake Travis.

Located just 25 minutes from downtown Austin, this home is perfectly situated for exploring the city while enjoying the tranquility of the hill country. Nearby boat ramps, marinas, parks, and watercraft rentals offer ample opportunities for fun and adventure. Whether you're here for a family vacation, a weekend getaway, or a special occasion, our Lake Travis home promises an unforgettable experience.

If you need recommendations, we'll be available to provide them otherwise you'll have complete privacy. We'll provide you with access information before you arrive, so you'll have super quick and easy entry.

After booking you'll be provided a link where you can purchase upgrades to your booking such as early check-in and late check-out, additional cleanings, and more that will make your Austin experience even better!

We don't charge a security deposit! Where many hosts charge over $500, and where you as the guest risk them not returning your deposit – Austin Vacay remains guest-centric by charging a one-time, non-refundable fee (already included in your booking price) which provides up to $1,500 of coverage towards unintentional rental property damages (subject to plan terms and conditions). This means a lower cost to book, and because accidents happen, protection against costly charges. Plan terms and conditions provided by request after booking.

Austin Vacay is proud to be able to service Austinites and travelers during these uncertain times. We have taken extra precautions to care for our guests and employees by introducing zero contact entry, enhanced cleaning protocols, and strict covering requirements for employees. We encourage our guests to review Texas and Austin’s travel guidelines and restrictions before making a reservation. We must work together to ensure a safe environment for everyone that enters our properties.

Located in the northwestern part of Austin, this area combines the tranquility of suburban living with the convenience of city amenities. Known for its scenic landscapes, the region offers stunning hill country views and is near several natural parks, providing ample opportunities for hiking, biking, and outdoor exploration. A variety of shopping centers and dining establishments cater to the daily needs of residents while offering unique local flavors. The community has a mix of housing options, ranging from family-friendly neighborhoods to upscale gated communities. Overall, this part of Austin is appealing for those seeking a peaceful environment with easy access to both nature and city life, creating a balanced lifestyle.Fun fact! Several episodes from the final season (season 11) of The Walking Dead were filmed in this cove!

Getting around is quick and easy. The house is situated right on Bullick Hollow Rd, which gives you direct access to FM 620, as well as 2769 (Lime Creek). There isn't much public transportation in the area, so you are best having a car available, but you can easily use any ride-sharing company like Lyft or Uber into downtown and back. We will provide codes in your booking email and in the House Manual.
We also have two driveways; an upper from the main road, and then a lower driveway at the lake level. We recommend the lower driveway as the upper driveway is very steep and is good for only 2 vehicles (NO TRUCKS). There are a maximum of 4 vehicles allowed at the property total. Please minimize the in and out traffic on the lower driveway and close the gate behind you.

We have security cameras outside of our home at the entrances for added security and your peace of mind. We do not have any cameras inside of the home, respecting our guests' privacy.

There is a one-time pet cleaning fee of $85. Please inform us in advance if you plan to bring a dog so we can prepare the necessary cleaning supplies to eliminate allergens before the next guest arrives.

While staying with us, dogs must be crated when left alone, should not climb on furniture, and must not be left outside unattended. Owners are responsible for any damages caused.

House was a good hill country experience
House was a good hill country experience, beautiful location and very comfortable! However, the house was not very clean, and some lights didn’t work properly. The garbage from previous guests was never picked up outside because of the holidays and it was unpleasant to have the garbage there during 3 days even though i asked for it to be picked up.

Not what we expected
It was nearly impossible to park in the upper spots and having to park in the lower area the stairs up to the house are worn and falling apart. Overall the house was on the dirty side, hair in the bathtubs, mold in the washer, dirty floors, etc. We had to clean the vacuum provided out ourselves because it was so clogged it wouldn’t suck anything up. The fridge door shelves were nonexistent as they were all broken.

Management didn’t seem to care
Arrived at the home and it was dirty, hadn’t been cleaned from previous guest. We understand that this happens and the gentleman I spoke to acted sincere in his apology and correction of the issue with a credit. I thanked him and then cleaners came shortly after. However, throughout our stay, we discovered numerous issues with the home. No hot water downstairs, loose railing and loose deck flooring. Now mind you, the deck sits about 30 ft off the ground so if the railings gave way or the deck did you would be in a world of hurt. The thermostat is controlled by a Nest unit. Woke up every night with the heat blowing at 75 degrees. The interior floors are warped, dirty, and in desperate need of refinishing and the entire house just needs some love. We didn’t want to be “that” type of guest so we waited to see how management would handle their initial promise. No word from them so I reached out to them to inquire about credit. Radio silence. So here I am now, after multiple opportunities for a management to correct issues, writing a bad review. You truly make the guests feel like they are not wanted and you don’t care by the condition of the home and poor management.

Pictures in the listing are very misleading because the water is down and the dock is just in an open field currently. You will not have access to the lake or use of your own private dock

Relaxing time
We had an extremely relaxing time with our family here. The place is very conveniently located. The instructions from the host were accurate and helpful. Everything in the house is well organized and we didn’t have any trouble locating anything whatsoever. Parking on the upper deck is a little tricky, but it is more convenient to carry luggage into the house compared to the lower deck. The wifi stopped working and we couldn’t locate the router. It wasn’t a big deal as we had very good wireless signal and used our cellphone hotspot.

Lake Travis Getaway
Beautiful house and loved the view of the lake. Only concerns in the beginning was a strong marijuana odor which eventually went away after we opened windows to allow the house to ventilate and the Wi-Fi was down during entire our 2-day stay. We were told a technician was coming on Day 1 but that never happened and didn't want to bother having them come by on Day 2. Other than that, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay.

Fair to Poor
We stayed for 2 nights in this property. When we arrived to the property at Bullick Hollow Rd, we saw a very scary driveway in front of us (I insist it is scary) since the property owner had mentioned that there is a lower driveway which there was not. This one-way driveway is absolutely dangerous because no one in the main road sees you when you are coming out of drive way. we stopped in the middle of the main road and all passing cars stopped for us and in that case we tried to slowly enter to that steep driveway. After checking in the AC system was not working and we were on the phone with our direct contact until 8:00 pm to be able to run our Nest thermostat. Since then, the house was smelling bad and The floor was dirty and all of kids' socks got dirty and black in the very first hour. ( I have the picture of those). The downstairs' bathroom always smelled bad and nasty and couldn't use the shower. The best part of our stay was that beautiful balcony and we were trying to spend more time there.
