About this stay

WE ARE TAKING EXTRA PRECAUTIONS DISINFECTING OUR HOUSE IN LIGHT OF THE COVID-19 VIRUS. Lake Austin waterfront is a great place to escape all year around. Lake Austin Retreat offers a beautiful Mexican style waterfront property with a boat dock, huge decks and a hot tub situated on a secluded bend of Lake Austin just 20 miles from downtown Austin. Relax, unwind, enjoy the stand up paddle boards, swim, canoe, kayak, bird-watch, fish, or enjoy a spa-treatment at nearby Lake Austin Spa. The house accommodates 6 guests (if your group is larger than 6, please consider renting a neighbor's property which sleep's 6, in addition to ours - Homeaway Property # 7064882 or VRBO#3580000), and the spacious back yard offers an abundance of outdoor space for socializing, BBQ'n, playing or enjoying quiet hammock-time. Bring your boat and ski (boats can be moored at the dock but no boat lift is available), or lounge by the water's edge and drink in the view of the Golden Cheeked-Warbler habitat directly across the lake. You will love taking advantage of the most peaceful stretch of Lake Austin. Mornings are not to be missed. Grab your coffee or tea and watch the morning fog pull back revealing a glass-like surface that mirrors the rolling hills above. Just 35 Miles from the new F-1 Track in Austin, 20 miles from SXSW and ACL Festival. The Activities: By Day - Canoeing, kayaking (life jackets and paddles provided), hiking, swimming, fishing, golfing, skiing and wakeboarding, bring your boat and moor it at the dock. You can canoe, kayak or walk 1/4 mile to the Lake Austin Spa for world-class spa services. By Night - Dining, grilling, star-gazing or hitting the downtown or lakeside Austin nightlife. Out of respect for our neighbors, we ask that only three cars be parked at our home and that our guests not use the HOA Boat Ramp and Park next door. The public boat ramp at Mary Quinlan Park is only 1/4 mile away and is much safer. There is also additional parking there for guests temporarily visiting during your stay. In keeping with the local ordinances, we have a strict policy that forbids parties at our home. Thank you for your consideration of our home and our rules.

We’re repeat guests at Lake Austin Waterfront Retreat and it continues to exceed expectations. The property has a magical, peaceful vibe that makes it hard to leave. My wife and I brought our boat and enjoyed several perfect days on one of the most beautiful rivers in Texas. The private dock is ideal—easy to access, secure, and perfect for both relaxing and launching.We also loved using the kayaks and canoes provided, and hosted a few unforgettable evenings with friends and family on the spacious, scenic grounds. Everything about this place is thoughtful and welcoming. We’re already looking forward to our next stay.

What a super location for a family staycation. We live in Austin but this was special. Brought our boat and water toys (and dog) and really had a great time. David the host is great, and we met some of the neighbors also really nice.
