Lake Travis Waterfront Retreat With Dock
Our stay was absolutely incredible. We booked this trip for a Christmas getaway and to make vision boards for the new year. We felt refreshed and comfortable staying in this beautiful home. It was a bit confusing at first to understand how to pull in for parking but it was very simple once we figured it out! The lake was absolutely stunning and peaceful. There's also nearby restaurants and a place to play pickleball. The location feels like you're in your own little town. We ran into two maintenance issues (one completely out of anyone's control) but Jen was so responsive and everything was resolved quickly! We loved our stay and hope to stay again in the future.

Our stay at Shelley's place was lovely! The house is so spacious, was sparkling clean, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the grill and amazing views. It's located in a quiet and peaceful area, perfect to relax and have a good night's sleep. When I first saw the listing, I was a bit concerned about how comfortable the sofa bed in bedroom 4 would be. It turned out that I picked this room for me and my husband: it's spacious, has its own bathroom and the bed is VERY comfy, in addition to the best views! The other bedrooms were also great, cozy and with perfect levels privacy. Everyone was incredibly pleased with the accommodations. Communication with Shelley was excellent, she is a fantastic host!

Extravagant Waterfront Home on Lake Travis, Texas
Airbnb Review: A Perfect Holiday Retreat for the Whole Family We had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful Airbnb from December 22nd to December 28th, and it was truly a magical experience! My wife, Monica, and I stayed here with our four children, my mom, dad, sister, and her teenage son. The house had plenty of space for everyone to relax, do their own thing, and still come together for quality family time. The movie theater was a hit with the kids and teens, giving them their own cozy space to enjoy their favorite films. Meanwhile, the adults enjoyed unwinding by the fire pit, where making s’mores under the stars became a memorable holiday tradition. Our Christmas dinner on the BBQ grill was an absolute highlight. The outdoor space made it easy to gather as a family while enjoying delicious food and the peaceful surroundings. Every morning, I relished my quiet moment with a cup of coffee on the balcony, while the kids explored and played around the property. One of the most

“WATERS-EDGE” A WATERFRONT home! Hot Tub!! VIEWS!!
I stayed at Debbie’s lake house with friends and family over New Years and we were impressed. Her home is well finished with a stocked kitchen and large enough sofa to lounge. We all travel together frequently to AirBnB rentals and everyone in our group commented that this home was one of the cleanest we’ve rented. Hot tub, fireplace, board games, views of the lake, outdoor kitchen and a large kitchen for family meals…a great setting for quality time with your group. Note is there aren’t TVs in the bedrooms, so you may want to bring a tablet if you like to watch tv in bed. We would rent here again!

The Canyon Vista Escape
Tim was a wonderful host. He was responsive during the holiday and that is extremely appreciated. The lake was significantly lower than expected but nothing can be done about Texas drought! Overall, me and my family had a great time and got to see a lot of wildlife!

On the Rocks Vacay Away
This was my wife and I second time and we were blown away again. nothing is like that view from either decks. we love sitting outside and just listening to the sounds. after coming here 09/2023 we knew we had to come back. Best part was we were able to bring the pups. Even our supper high energy girl was super relaxed and they both loved all the new smells. we will be back many more times!

Good times / tan lines
We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The host was wonderfully responsive, quick to reply, and so polite—it really made the experience special. The house was beautiful, spotlessly clean, and had such a peaceful feel that made relaxing easy. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great getaway. Melissa was amazing as well, very responsive and polite, felt right at home.

Absolutely Perfect Stay! Melinda is truly an amazing host! From the start, her communication was excellent, providing clear instructions and wonderful recommendations for the area.

The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, the perfect place to unwind and enjoy quality family time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. If you're looking for a cozy, clean, and well-located home, Melinda’s place is the perfect choice. She’s definitely a super host!

Lake & River Getaway: Relax, Entertain & Recharge!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was extremely clean and very well appointed. We spent most of our time at the fire pit and outside areas and felt at peace. Jay was super responsive to all our needs and easy to contact. We definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quick getaway.

Lucky Duck Lake House
We stayed at Ben's place because we wanted to spend time at Lake Somerville State Park. The park is basically just around the corner , so this Airbnb was the perfect choice. The house is very attractive and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the back porch and the deck down by the water. There was an issue with the thermostat, which Ben took care of immediately. We would definitely stay there again.

Lakeside Lodge
This property is impeccable!! Better than pictures or descriptions. Had so many extra little welcoming touches; welcome note, snacks and water were much appreciated!! Everything in the house is so cute and well designed. Loved being able to dim so many of the lights. The large communal table was a fantastic family spot for visiting and games. Looking forward to returning next year!!

The Blue House on the Lake @ Smithville TX
My teenaged son and I were looking for some low-key downtime and enjoyed our stay here. He’s a fisherman, and we were surprised at how low the lake was. Got out in the kayaks, and even in the middle it was only a foot or two deep, which we didn’t expect. No fish as a result, but we enjoyed seeing the pelicans on the lake, using the fire pit, visiting the nearby state parks, and strolling around town. Overall a comfortable stay!

Unmatched Lake/Sunset Views With Pool!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Jessica’s . The views of the lake were awesome and the house was comfortable and peaceful.

Zen Cabin in the woods.
I stayed at Joni's Airbnb for the weekend of my wedding, and it was absolutely perfect. Joni was incredibly accommodating, allowing my bridesmaids to do their hair and makeup at her home, which made our day so much easier. Her place is also dog-friendly, which meant I could have my pups nearby, something that meant a lot to me. The home had everything we needed, and Joni went above and beyond as a host. She's an excellent communicator, always ensuring we were taken care of and responding quickly whenever we had questions. The house itself was lovely, surrounded by nature with just the right amount of privacy. It felt peaceful yet still convenient for everything we needed during such a special weekend. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Joni’s place to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-equipped stay with a thoughtful host.
