Family/Pet-Friendly Lake House- Lake Marble Falls
This is a beautiful property, spaces are very family & pet oriented. Hana was very responsive & accommodating. Having the boat ramp right beside the property was a big bonus! We all had a blast & look forward to enjoying this property again. Thank you!

Casa Lago "Mañana", Lake LBJ, Luxury Home with Slip
Immaculate home! Everything was clean, tidy and orderly - easy to enjoy, and easy to clean away when checking out. It truly felt like our own home whilst there. Michael was the perfect host too, responsive when needed, but respected our privacy to enjoy the home. We’ll be back!

Boat Dock Road House
House was really nice and everyone had plenty of room. View from the backyard was amazing. Short walk down to the lake and boat dock. Being able to use the kayaks and paddle boards was a huge bonus.

Lake Travis,Waterfront,Amazing Views,Decks
Teresa was great! Was so helpful in helping us. The house was beautiful and comfortable. Will definitely be staying here again!

Cozy Cottage with Lake Views
We spend a wonderful week at the Cottage. The front porch is amazing with a view of the lake. The amount of deer in the area…. Oh My!! SoSoSo Many!! We absolutely enjoyed feeding and watching them. Will definitely check availability next time we are in the area.

Zen Cabin in the woods.
Perfect getaway! Joni was a very engaged and accommodating host. The house very relaxing and just what I needed the weekend before deployment. Will seek this place out next time I pass through this part of Texas.

Lakefront Views and Sunsets
It was a great spot! Loved the tennis and pickleball. Far drive from most things in Austin, but great for getting out of the city and near the lack. Super beautiful views.

Horseshoe Bay Family Getaway
We spent the weekend for a birthday trip and had a great time! Daniel is very helpful and quick to respond to any questions.

Noble House on Lake LBJ
The lake house was wonderful for my wife, son and I. We swam, fished and enjoyed the starlit dock. David was very helpful and welcoming. We will certainly be back soon!

Quiet Cove, Dog Friendly
We made some amazing memories at the Quiet Cove! Having access to kayaks, paddle board , and fishing from the dock made our stay so much fun. We ended each day around the fire out on the porch with a guitar, diving with the family. The house is super well stocked which made us feel like we were visiting a friend’s home, not just a rental. Thank you for an incredible stay.

Waterfront Estate-7BR,boat dock, Kayaks, 6000sqft
Our family of 10 enjoyed this Lake House home. It is perfect for families. It was spacious, clean and well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed. There was a nice separation of bedrooms on the upper level for the adults allowing our teenage kids to have the lower level bedrooms, but there were also bedrooms laid out to accommodate parents and children of younger ages on the lower level. We especially enjoyed the game room with table tennis, foosball and darts. The home has a flat, grassy back yard and we were easily able to set up a volleyball net and play soccer. The friendly deer emerged in the evenings and mornings and were a delight. The owner, Matt, was a very responsive host and answered our questions promptly. We were prepared for lower lake levels given the drought at Lake Travis, so note that the hike down to the water and the dock is steep and rocky given the current conditions.

Close to golf, beer, wine and offers car charger
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!

Paradise Cove- Lakefront on a Cove w/Guest Cottage
Beautiful and quiet place with lots of shade. The property had a great view without being on the main lake which made it very peaceful. Easy to get inside and find. Lots of options to sit outside and enjoy the weather. Home had everything we needed.

Ranch Water Cove,Water Toys, Boat Slip
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was nice and updated. My kids loved the paddle boat and we enjoyed the serene atmosphere. It was also convenient to drop our boat at the nearby McNair Park and tie up in the canal behind Michelle’s house. We can’t say enough good things about our stay and have already booked with her again!

LakeTravis Waterfront Volleyball Game Rooms Boats
We stayed at Jacob’s place for a bachelor party and the house was perfectly set up for that! Jacob was incredibly communicative and had everything needed to enjoy and host a bachelor trip which I appreciated as it made my job a whole lot easier. Some highlights: -Beer dice set up -a Lake with boating service that Jacob runs. ATX Boat service. It was very worth it if you have a big group and everyone chips in. I appreciated Jacob’s proactive communication, he’s super quick to follow up and made planning things easy. He was flexible with allowing us to stay a bit late so we could go straight to the airport.

“The Cozy Cabins” on Lake LBJ
The home was perfect for our annual fishing trip with the kids. 2 homes for 2 families. Fun and playful decorations in the homes to get you in the vacation mood. Within walking distance to a park. Amazing 2 story dock that offered us in the shade while fishing off the dock and places for us to play games with the kids.

Your guide to Lake Austin
All About Lake Austin
There is so much fun to be had in Austin — live music, delicious barbecue, outdoor bars, chicken-poop-fueled bingo games, and kinetic festivals like South by Southwest — that it’s a good idea to take a breather before you fling yourself back in the fray. Enter Lake Austin. Located a little over ten miles from downtown, this reservoir along the Colorado River invites you to chill out and relax for a while. Swimming isn’t the thing here — you aren’t allowed to swim or float more than 50 feet from the shore. Instead, hop on the watercraft of your choice — canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, and motorized vessels are all available to rent nearby — and make your way through the winding waters, gliding under an award-winning bridge as you pass the stately mansions that dot the shore. After a day on the lake, head to one of the waterfront restaurants, where you can dine under a palapa.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Austin
Austin runs warm to very hot just about year round. June through August are the hottest months, with temperatures in the 90s and sometimes in the triple digits Fahrenheit. October cools down with temperatures in the 80s, and November through March bring temperatures between 60 and 70 degrees. March and April spike back up into the 80s. If you’re visiting during the summer, you should pack for very hot weather, and in winter expect cool nights and bring layers. You may experience thunderstorms any time of year, especially during spring, so always bring an umbrella and raincoat just in case.
Top things to do in Lake Austin
Mount Bonnell
Head to Covert Park to get a whole new perspective of the lake. This hillside park is home to the 775-feet Mount Bonnell, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors have been coming here since the 1850s to enjoy panoramic views of the water, city, and surrounding hills. To get to the top, you’ll have to climb 102 stairs. Once there you’ll find a small stone pavilion, so settle in for a picnic with a spectacular view before making the trek back down.
Pennybacker Bridge
Also known as the 360 Bridge, the Pennybacker Bridge’s two stately arches span Austin Lake without touching the water — all the better to accommodate the many boats that float beneath it. Designed to blend into its surroundings, its weathered, rust-colored exterior has received awards for its innovative design. The bridge has become such a recognizable part of the Austin landscape, you can find it on many souvenir posters, keychains, and mugs. For an incredible view of the real thing, park in a small lot off the western road of the north span, then complete a short but steep hike to an overlook that offers incomparable views of the bridge, Austin, and — if you time it right — the sunset.
Emma Long Metropolitan Park
If you truly feel the need to jump into the cool waters of Lake Austin, this is an excellent (and legal) place to do it. This 1,142-acre park features waterfront barbecues and picnic tables, docks, piers, and a designated swimming area with a small sandy beach — where you’re likely to jostle with little ones wearing water wings. There is also a network of hiking trails, including the popular Turkey Creek, a tree-lined 2.8-mile path that winds alongside, and at several points crosses, a babbling creek.
