Just a few steps below, the backyard now boasts our brand-new Cowboy Pool. This chic stock-tank plunge pool comes with a built-in heater and chiller, letting you dial up a toasty soak when the nights turn crisp or cool things down after a sun-drenched lake day. It’s a playful, year-round oasis that turns an already gorgeous outdoor area into your own private mini-resort.

Our home is surrounded by nature near Lake Travis. We have professional pest control services and thorough cleaning between each stay, but you may occasionally see harmless insects outdoors or near entryways.
Parking is available in both the upper and lower driveways. The upper driveway has an electric vehicle charger available and offers a steep walk down some stairs, while the lower driveway requires climbing 61 steps but provides easier parking.
Accessing the home requires climbing a long flight of outdoor stairs that are steep and can be uneven in places. This is a common feature of lakefront properties, but it`s definitely a bit of a climb! Please consider this carefully if anyone in your group has mobility concerns. We’re happy to answer questions and help you decide if our home is the right fit. Be sure to check out our detailed parking guide to find the best access point for your group.
Please note that Lake Travis is a dynamic reservoir known for its fluctuating water levels, designed to capture water during rainy seasons and conserve it during drier periods.
