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!

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!

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.

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.

Starry Nights on LBJ
We had a great time at this lake house! We had the whole family (4 adults and 3 small children). The accommodations were great. The kids were able to swim from the dock and we were able to park our tritoon without any issues. We took full advantage of the grill, hot tub, and sauna. We highly recommend if you are looking for a lake getaway.

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!

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.

Chic 2BR Lakefront | Dock | Deck | W/D
This is an adorable lakefront house in a charming neighborhood. We spent most of our Austin trip relaxing together at the house, instead of visiting attractions around town. That's just what the group wanted to do! Sun, water, lake life, turtles and friends. This is a great house for all enjoying all of that.

Anglers Cove on Lake LBJ
Great host. Offered both early check-in and late check out at no additional cost! Very responsive to our inquiries. Definitely planning to stay again.

Near the Lake Retreat! | So Quaint & Amenity-Ric
Stayed here a second time for my fiancé’s birthday. First time we came here was our first date 4 years ago. Still as pretty as we remembered it!! Carol Ann was super nice and responsive. 100% would stay a third time!

Lake Travis Waterfront Guesthouse with Dock
Very nice location and place to stay

Fishing Cabin at River’s Edge
Beautiful, quiet campsite with lots to do, my friends and I really enjoyed the pool and making smores at the fire pit!

Ultimate Lake Travis Fishing condo w/ pool&hot tub
Exactly as pictured. Host was very responsive. There was an initial rebooking and she proactively found us a comparable and pleasant alternative. The area is great. As we were advised to do, I recommend buying all your groceries in Austin or along the way before you arrive. The property itself is spacious, comfortable and spotless. The deck is amazing. We grilled outside three out of four night. Really enjoyed ourselves.

Hill House in Wonderful Bouldin!
Carole was amazingly responsive and friendly when we booked a last minute stay. Her place is in a great neighborhood - very walkable and quiet.

2 Houses 1 Property! Bungalow/Craftsman
Billy and Trish were great hosts! The area is perfect if you’re needing to stay close to campus and downtown Austin isn’t far either. There’s a few cute restaurants and breakfast places within walking distance as well if you’re in the need to do some exploring. 10/10 would stay with them again. Thanks guys!

ACL/Downtown/S Congress- Cozy Mod Casa
A little older place but very clean and it had everything for 6 adults of different ages. The air conditioning felt great after a day in the heat. Many local restaurants to enjoy and an easy walk to. Easy uber downtown and most cost were less than $20. Larry was there with advice and fast to reach. I would stay there again next visit to Austin.

Cozy, sunny home for writers and families!
This airbnb is so pretty and located in a peaceful neighborhood. I feel right at home staying here. The airbnb looks exactly like the photo. The host is very responsive and quick to address any questions and concerns that I have.

2bd/2bth Fncd Bckyrd
Amazing place to stay! So walkable and easy to get around or Uber. Martha had fantastic recommendations! This is the place you’re looking for! As a note: the water in the backyard/outdoor shower doesn’t work and it was a very HOT summer- the grass mostly died out so it got rather dusty this really only mattered to me because I had dogs which felt right at home here. Also the concrete floors are Amazing And keep the whole house clean. I loved it here!

Roomy Downtown Home | Prime Location | Turf Yard
The hosts were super responsive and helpful. This was the perfect Airbnb for the bachelorette weekend. We walked to coffee, breakfast, dinner, bars!

2 bed 2 bath Home 2 blocks from SoCo
Teri’s Airbnb was the perfect spot for our weekend trip to Austin. Perfect location being walking distance to S. Congress. Teri was very accommodating, responsive, and helpful giving us great places to visit during our trip. Would definitely stay again!

Casa Blanca | Downtown Georgetown
12 minute walk down a safe street to get to a convenience store to buy milk for coffee. Creamer was provided, but we're picky. We ate at Monument Cafe for breakfast, highly recommended! Not a fancy neighborhood, but not sketchy either. Exchanged waves with neighbors as we walked past. The house is very clean.
Your guide to Lake Travis
Welcome to Lake Travis
One of the Lone Star State’s most popular lake destinations, Lake Travis sprawls 20 miles northwest of Austin in the Texas Hill Country. Expect waterfront restaurants, renowned golf courses, and aquatic adventures on the 64-mile-long reservoir, which has 270 miles of shoreline. Ranches and open green space girdle it, along with four lively communities serving commuters to the state capitol. But visitors mostly gravitate toward the lake’s beauty and bustling social scene.
Cyclists, however, gear up for the undulating granite and limestone hills, part of a fractured plateau, blanketed by parklike open oak forests. World-class road-racers celebrate this terrain as among the world’s best places to ride. The Mansfield Dam Loop remains an especially popular road route: adrenalin seekers can hit speeds of 60 mph on the infamous Tumbleweed Hill. (Don’t worry, there’s a bypass for less gonzo cyclists!) Pump up your tires — and legs — early on weekend mornings to avoid heavy car traffic.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Travis
The climate stays relatively moderate year-round, and Lake Travis never closes, except during extreme weather events. It boasts around 300 days of sunshine annually, and summer highs can creep into the mid-90s Fahrenheit. But don’t sweat the thermometer — Lake Travis averages 78 degrees throughout the year. And it also has 118.2 square miles of water to cool off in. That said, the humidity can get intense from June to August; the most popular months to book vacation rentals here are September to October and March to May.
June does bring the new Lake Travis Film Festival, however, with screenings in Lakeway and Bee Canyon. The area also makes a big splash with its Fourth of July fireworks. And visitors base themselves here for March’s SXSW, August’s Pride celebrations, and October’s City Limits Music Festival, all in Austin.
Top things to do in Lake Travis
Austin Moonlight Towers
A 19th-century criminal spurred the city to keep its residents safe by flooding its streets with light from 165-foot-tall towers. Today 13 of the 31 delicate original structures remain and are protected on the National Register of Historic Places. Visiting over the winter holidays? Don’t miss the Zilker Park tower’s transformation into one of the world’s largest Christmas trees.
Elisabet Ney Museum
Seventeen miles southeast of Lake Travis stands this tribute to a 19th-century German portrait sculptor. Elisabet Ney moved to Austin in 1882 and spent the rest of her life working in this museum, one of the state’s oldest. The limestone building itself is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has some neoclassical elements, along with landscaping and wildflowers attractive to pollinators.
Windy Point Park
Shade trees and lush lawns make this lakeside oasis a favorite among picnickers. Surprisingly, it also ranks among Central Texas’s top scuba spots. Divers can explore boat wrecks and submerged sculptures ― and those with advanced certification can descend into a dramatic underwater canyon.
