JUST FANTASTIC!
This is a wonderful gem just outside of Austin. Corie and Bill are one of the best hosts that i have had a pleasure of dealing with. The description of the property was 100% to what you are getting and then some. It felt like being at a home away from home. Hope they continue to maintain the quality of their property and that other guests don't ruin it for the rest of us. Nice job guys!
P.S. Top side parking is tricky and best to back into it. Service dirt road is easier, but more stairs.😅

Hi we really had a pleasurable time. The accommodations were up to par. The effort to locate your lodge was not unreasonable. This Colorado River was a bit disappointing. We were able to find a public fishing area with some extensive effort. Perhaps next year will bring better water levels to the River.

We wouldn’t stay again
We were excited for our week at the lake until we realized there are no lake views. The host noted the water was low but we all felt the pics without any water should’ve been the first ones in the posting. 0 out of 3 of us said we’d return to the property for another stay.
THE GOOD- cold ac in the house, comfy beds, patio/deck space, view of the fireworks on the 4th, close to The Oasis, Starbucks, Target, and HEB, fresh cold water gallons
THE NOT SO GOOD- lots of small rolly pollies in the downstairs bathroom, shower head fell off the wall downstairs, we had to buy our own toilet paper and paper towels because there was only 1 roll of paper towels and really low quality TP, the steep and uneven HIKE up and down to get in the house(not ADA compliant), the pillows, not all rooms have AC(sunroom and upstairs office are hot), minimal/no spices, foil, charcoal, and other kitchen items so we had to buy all of these, no way to Uber or Lyft because the house is too hard to get to so we’d go places in the day and stay in all night, and also not the best communication from host. We messaged him the first night because we couldn’t find some light switches and lighting. He called immediately and said to call for anything any time of day. When we text to ask for paper towels we didn’t get a reply until we checked out and he said he just saw about the paper towels.

Treehouse
This property needs a lot of work & cleaning. We saw several small nasty roaches & other bugs. We never felt comfortable in the house. The property is older & needs a major overhaul & cleaning, it’s not easily accessible for small children or elderly. It’s not easily accessible from the street. It really doesn’t have a spectacular view it’s not worth the walk! However, the owners were nice & friendly!

Beautiful Birthday Celebration!
We celebrated our son’s 50th Birthday. He lives solo in Austin, but no room to celebrate. We live in Kentucky, so we needed to figure out where and how to celebrate with him and his friends. This was the perfect solution! The owner very generously allowed us to invite guests other than just the few of us who were staying overnight, and we had a perfect celebration! Everyone loved the setting, the view, the outdoor decks, and the lovely setting inside. Kids could run off their excess energy outside! Thank you so much to our hosts!

Affordable group accomodations
For the price of just one room at budget hotels, it was awesome to be able to house five adults in a private home with great views and room to relax. Could have handled one more guest. As the owner clearly emphasizes in the description, trying to park up top is not worth it for most vehicles.

Suggestions
The house is in good location. Owner did warn there's no water and very dry. But only 2 posted photos about it. Should have had more photos showing the dry and drought. The photos showing water were old shouldn't be on the properties listing page.
Parking is tricky and rough driveway. Wish had photos showing it to expect rugged way in back of properties.Upper and lower driveway are steep like 45 degrees. A dolly would help if known in advance.
House interior is nice & clean. Upstairs shower had some sewer smell like 5 minutes showering.
Owner was friendly and talked thru with confused parking .Thank you.
Other than that the stay was fine. Our family would have had more fun if there were water in the lake.
