Great Getaway!
Our family enjoyed our stay at the Lake Shack! The guide provided is great - read it! :-) We enjoyed our time on the dock and kayaking and while fishing was not lucrative for us, it was still fun trying. We love the outside set up - amazing for morning coffee and playing family games and just sitting and relaxing day and night. Plenty of things to do in the area if you want to "get away from the house" - however, it's easy to not want to leave! The Lake Shack is definitely on our list of stays we'd like to do again!

Lake Travis Stay
While the neighborhood was great (close to hiking, grocery, food), the house was not as perfect as we had envisioned. The property manager/owner was very responsive, but it was hard to address some of our challenges. We are a family of 5 with small children, and it was not clear from the posting that the units were separated with an outdoor staircase, which was not ideal for needing the 3 bedrooms to be connected. The unit seemed OK, but cleanliness was lacking. The bedding had a lot of hair on it (perhaps from a dog?), the outdoor patio was very dirty (with abandoned equipment in the middle of it), the life jackets were covered in spider nests, and the hot water had an upper temperature limit set (which wasn't very comfortable). Some of the photos picture the lake water coming close to the property, but the Lake has not been that high in 3 years. The dock/water area had a lot of cables and piping around that were a bit challenging to navigate. With some TLC, this property could be really great for adult vacations.

Excellent Getaway
We had such a great time at the lake! Everything was just as it is presented in the listing. We were impressed with how clean the place was, the beautiful outdoor areas, the opportunities for water fun, and especially the personalize touches like the chalk note and the turkey accessories for Thanksgiving! This property is relaxing, beautiful, and has everything we were looking for. Thank you so much! The guidebook was incredibly useful and we used it to pick all of our restaurants! We will definitely be back!

Stay at the Lake
We really enjoyed our stay. The place is clean with a great patio. The dock is large and our kids loved the Lily pad and kayaks. The area is awesome. Deer everywhere and our kids loved hiking at Lakeway and the Hamilton Greenbelt. The host provides a great online guide to nearby activities and restaurants that was very helpful!

Lake Vacation
The rental was a great set-up for our family, had plenty of space and comforts for all, was clean, had everything we needed. The location was great for stores, restaurants and some great hikes. Rental had great access to the lake and a private dock with roof so not even the rain could spoil our fishing. If our family go to Lake Travis again this VRBO will be the first one we will check for availability, so glad we found it.

Perfect Memorial Day weekend stay
We had a wonderful stay over the Memorial Day holiday weekend with two adults, three kids (13,11,4) and two big dogs. The house is like two apartments in one - one downstairs and one downstairs. Jenelle, the host, was amazing - we had a welcome package with chips and salsa, snacks, drinks - a special note for us on the chalk board and she had already anticipated the life jackets we would need. The house has a large, expansive balcony with BBQ grill and seating, and gates to keep the dogs enclosed. House is unique in that it has its own "beach" area, unlike other houses on the lake that are on steep cliffs. We rented a boat and went on a guided fishing trip, and both were able to just pick us up in our cove. Even with the lake pretty low these days, adults and kids had lots of fun on the water, kayaking, jumping on the splash pad, fishing, etc! Will definitely consider staying there again if we head up for a lake weekend.

Spring Break on the Lake
Surpassed expectations. Welcome sna ks and music on the patio were very nice touch. Enjoyed paddling around the lake and lounging on the patio. Area parks and restaurants were fabulous as well. Picky about beds and those were perfect as well. Favorite location so far. Hope to be back soon. Didn't think we were gonna get our dog back in the car to go home.

Birthday weekend
We had a wonderful weekend. We went hiking at Pedernales and McKinney state park. We also enjoyed a day at the Capitol. I have 2 dogs. They loved it all!!! There is so much space for them to run around outside. Jenelle was also sweet enough to leave some goodies for us for my birthday. We hope to be back in the future. Definitely recommend her home.

Amazing Lake House
This was the perfect location to stay on the lake and a very safe neighborhood. The outdoor patio was our favorite part of this rental. The owner has a Jenga set there that we all enjoyed playing! Jenelle provides a guide book that is very helpful. The view was also amazing and how the house is two separate apartments was perfect to bring along friends or kids. We will definitely be back in near future!

We were in town for Thanksgiving and a Baptism and ranged in age from 86 to college senior. The downstairs was extremely convenient and charming for my elderly and mobility challenged Mother. Upstairs very nice and deck was spectacular. The two small dogs loved the large fenced yards. The owner also was accommodating and had things set up for us to enjoy our stay.

The grass was overgrown, patio and furniture was not clean. There was a bug found twice in the bed downstairs. The only bathroom in the upstairs suite was next to the kitchen. The rooms were very small and no closet space in the master bedroom. Not enough utensils and found ants roaming in the kitchen.

Great place for travelers with a dog. We rented both upstairs and downstairs and having both worked well for us. Close to Lakeway Marina if you want to rent a boat. About 15 minutes to the grocery store although there is.a small market closer. Visited a winery in Spicewood and ate bbq at Opies. Great weekend.

Fantastic!
This was a fun mini vacation for my friend and our 2 dogs. Outdoor spaces were fantastic! 3 separate fenced in areas to keep our dogs safe with large area for them to chase each other and play. Lake was just steps away and it was fun hanging out on the dock. They provide life jackets, inner tubes, kayaks, and the lily pad!! Pictures don’t do it justice!! Inside spaces were great too but outside was the place to be! Shady areas, lots of comfy seating. I’ll be back!

We rented a boat from Lakeway marina it was a great addition to our trip!
