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.

Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Caleb A. Mar 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Trip was OK Great location on quiet side of lake. Older house, but in decent shape. AC went out first night we were there. Host was easy to get in touch with and had someone out the following morning to fix. Luckily it was cool that night so wasn’t too bad of an experience. The last day we were there a group of guys unexpectedly showed up to fix the boat lift. That put a dent in our final few hours as we had to say inside with the dog and couldn’t use the boat dock. Overall the trip was OK. ##### Caleb A.

Check in and directions were all great. Property location is pretty much unbeatable Mix of calm and serene in the early and late hours, and as close to the water as you could possibly want. Great water toys, fantastic weekend had by all. Would definitely come again. ##### Justin S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne A.

The host was very friendly and communicative. The view of the river was amazing. The kitchen was great to cook in. And the location was peaceful but close enough to drive to Austin for activities for the kids. Overall we really enjoyed our time there. ##### Anne A.

Perfect location. Maybe some anti slip strips of some sort on the deck and dock staircase would help. A guest and I both slipped and took a tumble on the dock. ##### Trinidad W.

Jul 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### A solid weekend We booked for a somewhat last minute 4 day, 3 night stay. The house was quaint and as pictured, but the dock was a bit more dilapidated than the photos make it look. Thankfully the covering laid down over the wood made it possible to walk around the top and we covered some of the older chairs with towels. Overall a good stay ##### Kendall D H.

It had the most beautiful views of the lake in the morning and at night. It was perfect for my dogs. The canoes and kayaks or my favorite part about the trip! It’s close enough to down town if you wish for something to do at night as well. ##### Brittney P. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Kody K.
