Natural cliffside oasis with impressive views, gas fireplace & private boat dock

Cliff side Oasis

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Perch on the expansive 1,200 square foot deck shaded by mature oak trees and take in expansive Hill Country views at this four-bedroom cliffside house on the banks of the Pedernales River arm of Lake Travis. Bring your boat and enjoy access to a private boat dock as well as a neighborhood launch at the nearby Pace Bend Park. The dock is accessible via a deck stairway that is protected by an iron railing and latching gate to protect younger guests.

Your single-story rental boasts 2,364 square feet of gorgeous living space with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a hammock. The grand living space features exposed ceiling beams and stylish furnishings. Sprawl out on two sofas and armchairs for relaxing gatherings surrounded by the valley's natural beauty viewable from the floor-to-ceiling windows lining the exterior wall of the home. Enjoy game night in the family room on the complimentary 12’ shuffleboard, use the complimentary dry-erase easel for Pictionary, or take advantage of the Starlink internet to play games on your phones together! The well-equipped kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops and an island with seating for guests - perfect for chatting with the chef! Gather for a feast paired with Hill Country views at the dining table.

The large, fenced yard is great for kids! Fire up the gas grill and dine alfresco at the table on the sprawling deck, or set a charcuterie board on the gazebo bartop overlooking the cliff-side of the river. Savor a drink at sunset under the string lights; it's extremely peaceful and beautiful in Hill Country.

Once the sun sets, cozy up around the gas firepit and relax under the country stars. Enjoy new patio furniture under the gazebo surrounded by mosquito netting.

The main suite is a crown jewel with a TV, wraparound views of the valley through floor-to-ceiling windows, and an en suite bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. An equally indulgent second bedroom boasts bluff and valley views.

Savor local flavor at Spicewood Vineyards and Stone House Vineyard tasting rooms - both located close to home. A prime location with over 18 nearby wineries and vineyards in this lush, secluded area just 32 miles from Austin.

New Year getaway
The best part about this property was the view and open concept. Was disappointed with a few things. Especially since this was not a cheap rental. Lighting is terrible out front. We drove in late and there was no lighting. Thankfully, our phones have flashlights (not easy to hold up your phone while lugging luggage and groceries). We had to reach out to the property manager about the front lights not working. We couldn't access the ones in front of garage (door is locked) and after they gave us the code for the utility closet. We had to replace bulbs ourselves. They have some solar lights towards the door but most were broken or just no longer worked. The back deck string lights are also solar so didn't work most of our stay given there was overcast. We couldn't find the switch to turn on the lights that run in between the back trees. The way down to the boat dock is extremely dangerous and nerve-wracking. Some railing was missing and steps bent. We had to basically bring all items (salt, oil, hand and dish soap, toilet paper, etc). Most properties we have rented before always have the basics (oil, salt, pepper, soap, toilet paper, etc.). Again given this property was an expensive rental, you'd think these basic items would be provided. Property management was responsive and kind. There was a mixup with the pack-n-play. Had reached out days before to confirm they had one for our toddler. They confirmed they did. Upon arriving, they did not have one. Staff was apologetic for the mix-up. Thankfully, they had an extra toddler size mattress we were able to use for our toddler. House was spacious enough for the entire family. Bathroom locks didn't work well. We had to take trash out, take bedding off, and put a load of towels in the wash before departing. Again, not a big deal. But when you're paying to getaway... You'd think the property management would handle those things. Especially, given the cleaning fee is crazy. Hope the improve as the property was nice. We enjoyed spending the time as a family. Mostly playing games and chatting. Calm and quiet spot.

Spicewood stay
Overall, the house layout and accommodations were excellent. Plenty of space and deck overlooking lake was tremendous. We experienced three issues during our stay. 1) TVs didn’t work, 2) front door lock was out of battery so we couldn’t use that front entrance (used garage through code), and 3) the house had a gnats issue - gnats in kitchen sinks and bedrooms. The representative (Sara) was very responsive all weekend trying to resolve the problems. They didn’t get resolved, but she consistently stayed on the issues.

Overall recommend, few details that need to be improved.
The property is great and using the dock is great. The deck is wonderful and the location is amazing! However, it was not listed in the details that paper towels, trash bags or kitchen basics (foil, plastic wrap) would NOT be supplied. When trying to obtain these supplies a support person was sent out but they never showed up. An additional code to a closet was given but there was no extra supplies that were needed in that closet. We ended up buying all supplies ourselves. Also no additional toilet paper beyond 2 rolls per bathroom was provided. Also the thermostat was not actually able to be controlled, as we would set to lower temperature at night and it was reset back to 76 degrees and we would wake up sweating- this does not seem okay when it is 90-100 degrees outside. The grill outside had no grease pan and there was grease leaking down by the propane source- when first turning on the grill this was a major fire hazard. Again, the property is great but when you are paying a lot of money you expect things to be a certain way and they fell a little short. I also think early check in should be available.

Panoramic views!
Pros: nice large deck overlooking the river, spacious living area and bedrooms, well stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, quiet, propane grill, tabletop shuffle board, great for our group of 5 retirees. Cons: AC controller programmed to continually reset temperature to 76 degrees, one bathroom missing a shower rod & curtain that was never resolved even though we notified the management company several times and were promised the issue would be addressed so the shower was useable wiithout flooding the bathroom.

Nice house, good location, just a few notes
Nice house, spacious, and beds were all comfortable. Patio was great. Beautiful view. Kitchen was large but a really odd design. We kept having to step aside to get to basics because of placement of fridge, vs. trash, vs. sink, vs. stove. With more than two cooks, this would become annoying. The photos didn't make it clear to me the bunk room shares a bathroom with the second king bed, while the queen bed gets it's own bathroom. That was disappointing. All the reviews were clear about the stairs to dock, but not showing photos is a bit disingenuous. Half of our group never even went down due to the lack of handrails. There's a home being built next door, so don't plan to sleep in. Which you won't do anyway, because of the accent windows in the bedrooms that flood the rooms with light very early. The really odd thing was a total lack of cleaning supplies. There was bird poop on a window and bugs in the large window sills that I would've liked to have cleaned. But there was not even counter top cleaner. Until we picked up 409 we were having to soap the island down and then wipe it down after messy meals. We even ran out of dish detergent. As for local stuff, we rented a boat from Briarcliff Marina for a day and went to a winery another. Great location for those things.

Great house with pretty views
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is very nice, had a great layout and was very comfortable and clean. One issue in the kitchen was the dishwasher. Be careful when opening it, as the door is very heavy and comes flying down with speed and can easily injure whoever is in the way. I would also note that this is not really a kid friendly property. The house sits on a cliff (which makes for beautiful views), but the walk down to the water is not suitable for small children. Overall we were pretty happy with our stay, and would consider staying there in the future.

Beautiful lake house right off Lake Travis
My extended family and myself rented the house to host our annual family vacation because we have never been to Lake Travis. Pros of property: beautiful home and location, deer in the area, spacious home with enough space for extended family to stay comfortably, Briarcliff Marina allowed for boat and/or jet ski rentals and to be taken straight to the house dock from them. The location is wonderful— close enough to all the things we wanted to see such as Hamilton Pool, Barton Springs pool, downtown Austin, the Oasis, etc. The cons for me would simply be the walk down to the dock is a literal cliff with stairs going straight down. The website simply says a “steep climb down.” This could seriously be misleading to someone with many kids to haul down, elderly or disabled people. We would definitely rent this home again and enjoyed our stay.
