Stay at Lake Travis
Vacation rental was easy to check in. Was stocked with all basic necessities. The only negative was sometimes the water pressure was a little low.

Amazing views. Awesome house.
We love this house. And because of this perfect location, we have fallen in love with Spicewood! There is everything you can possibly need in this home. This house is loved and it shows. I wish I had more time to tell you about our experience here with the 2024 solar eclipse but I would max out this small space. If you're looking at this house, please don't hesitate. It's perfect.

Beautiful property with nice view of Lake Travis. It was a family trip, and there were things for all of us to do. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you could need and more. The upstairs bed is one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. The deck is absolutely stunning. We had a wonderful time!

Very nice and restful location , only reason not 5 star is no bathroom in outside bedroom, that would make it ideal! Henry was very responsive to our requests and it was a great vacation for our Canadian family!

Great Getaway- beautiful views
We were in need of a break from the busy city, and this property feels like an escape to the country (while still being close enough to groceries and restaurants) We went mid week, and didn’t realize most activities are closed, but the house was stocked with chairs and towels so we had a wonderful time sitting by the water, (the kids caught a fish!) hanging out grilling on the deck, and enjoying the views. Communication with owner was prompt and he was very quick to solve any issues. We had a blast!

A wonderful way to ring in the New Year
This is an absolutely wonderful house! A huge panoramic back deck with plenty of seating for the entire family and an amazing view of the lake. We enjoyed the property SO VERY much - firepit for smores, short walking distance to the lake and did I mention the awesome deck? =)

Couldn't have been more peaceful! Gandy is awesome!
The property was very was very cozy with a beautiful view. Gandy, our host was very quick to respond from the reservation point forward. The theme of the home was familiar to my old home on henly ranch. We were welcomed with beautiful Christmas decoration, lights and tree. A bottle of pinot, candles, a bowl for my fur baby with treats. I'll be back!

Excellent property to stay.
Owner very accommodating and helpful on more than one occasion. Beautiful back porch with a beautiful view of Lake Travis. Would definitely stay again. Driveway very steep so unlikely to get your boat up the driveway. Nice small Marina two blocks away for boating needs and overnights.

Lovely Property
I stayed here with a group of friends for a whole week and the property is amazing. The house is really well stocked in terms of supplies and Henry left a very useful guide related to activities in the area. The highlight of the house is the outdoor deck which has a gorgeous view of the lake and is perfect for the evenings. The house is also a short walk to a location where you can swim and you are only a short drive from Pace Bend Park and Krause Springs in case you’d like to visit other locations. Overall it is a fantastic property to stay at!
