The Bird House is located on Cow Creek, which feeds into Lake Travis. When Lake Travis is full, you can keep your boat or jetski here. If you enjoy birdwatching or hiking, the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge is directly across the road and has over 25,000 acres to explore. Want to enjoy a nice glass of wine with lunch or dinner? We are located just a few minutes from Flat Creek Winery. Since we are not in a neighborhood and don't have any close neighbors, the stars are much brighter here at night. And you can make a lot more noise here without anyone complaining (fireworks are permitted as long as there is no burn ban). We have 6.5 beautiful acres to explore with creeks on 3 sides. Cow Creek has water almost always. Only went dry when we had no rain and temp over 100f for over 60 consecutive days. We have a canoe and kayak you are welcome to borrow. We live on the property in a house next door to The Bird House. The Bird House is our 2 bedroom guest house and it features a large deck and amazing views. Amenities include a shared pool (shared with us, no other rentals on property), outdoor kitchen & bar, gas grill, wood burning smoker, washer & dryer, large wood burning fire pit, and a playscape for children. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Change of towels on request - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the marina - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Boat - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycle parking - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Recycling - Towels (changed on request) ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/63000000/62960000/62954700/62954648/060e6de5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy, private waterfront stone cabin on the north shore of Lake Travis Lago Vista - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 120 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=62954648&PinnedHotelID=62954648&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74440000/74437800/74437780/a4c7bd02.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pet Friendly Cabin w/hot tub. gym, cold plunge, & sauna Big Bee Creek - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 8.8 Excellent 32 reviews CA $120 CA $278 total includes taxes & fees Oct 21 - Oct 22 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=74437780&PinnedHotelID=74437780&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83280000/83277500/83277424/b725b0d1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Flower Child Tiny Home at Lake Travis Spicewood - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 89 reviews CA $154 CA $317 total includes taxes & fees Nov 6 - Nov 7 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-06&endDate=2025-11-07&selected=83277424&PinnedHotelID=83277424&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/56000000/55190000/55186000/55185919/c7821104.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Incredible waterfront!
