Family Staycation Paradise -Lake Austin Waterfront:Volleyball, Kayaks, Hiking

An "OOO-AHH" lake get-away. Sand volleyball, kayaks, Lily pad, WiFi for WFH & Home school. Kayak across the lake and hike or check out other local trails in Steiner. Or let the serenity entice you to chillax. Custom built home with cedar flooring and exposed beams. Feels like middle of nowhere but a world class spa & great restaurants are in the neighborhood (Sushi, Italian, Steiner Ranch Steakhouse.) Famous sunsets at the Oasis on Lake Travis 7 miles away, and 35 minutes from downtown Austin. We love to see kids (and kids at heart) enjoy the property. Noise is good....kids squealing joyfully and puppies playing makes us happy. We have a fire pit and an owner shared hot-tub. Owner Shelly is always delighted to help with your area questions and trip plans. With 2 parking spaces and 1 bath we book groups of 6 or less. (If your group is larger than 6, please also consider renting a neighbor's property which sleeps 6, in addition to ours - #243133)
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Lake Austin. A hot tub and laundry facilities are available. The vacation home includes amenities such as a jetted tub and a kitchen.

Cozy and rustic treehouse-esque on a quiet part of the lake. The kids loved fishing off the pier, paddling around on the kayaks and the steep ladder to the upstairs kid room.

We loved this little house — views of trees all around. It was clean, had just about everything needed for a short stay. We hosted a small group of our son’s friends for the day and it was just right for that. Kayaks, float, dock, volleyball, grill — everything g we used was great.
