Vacation rentals with a kayak in Lake Austin

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning lakeside Airbnb, and I couldn't recommend it more highly! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and attention to detail that made our stay unforgettable. The location is absolutely perfect—right by the lake, with breathtaking views that you can enjoy from the comfort of the cozy deck or while relaxing inside. Whether you’re an early riser who loves watching the sunrise over the water or someone who enjoys evening walks by the shore, this spot offers a serene and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. The house itself is beautifully decorated with a perfect blend of comfort and style. It’s clear the hosts have put a lot of thought into every detail, from the well-stocked kitchen to the plush bedding and comfortable furniture. The large windows let in plenty of natural light, and the whole space just feels so inviting.

Ann’s place was exactly what we were looking for. It was quiet, comfortable, there was plenty of space for everyone and most of all a beautiful location. This place is great for a larger group and anything you need is there or available nearby. We had a relaxing few days there, fished, enjoyed being outside and our dogs really enjoyed the water:)

First, the house was very nice; comfortable yet clean and elegant. Second, the property is well taken care of. Our family had a wonderful and much needed relaxing time. Everything was perfect.

We really enjoyed our stay at Lucy on the Lake! We utilized all the amazing amenities and will remember the memories we made while staying!

Perfect home rental for my family as we were attending a wedding. Home was easy for my older in-laws to use without any difficulties for their mobility getting in and out of the home. The wedding venue was 10 minutes away at Villa Antonia. The hotel accommodations for the wedding was 45 minutes away so this home rental was a lot more convenient for us compared to the rest of the wedding party (including the bride and groom!).

This place was great! Stayed for a bachelorette party and it was perfect for the occasion. The only thing was the listing said king beds in the bedrooms, but two of the beds were queen. Slide and dock were a blast!

Great riverside getaway. Huge yard back right up to the Colorado River. Between the big living room, nice deck, fire pit, hot tub, and pool table there is plenty of fun to be had. Went there with a group of guys and we had a great time. Fairly easy to get into Austin or in Bastrop. But far enough away from everything you can see the stars at night.

Great place to serve as a home base for Eclipse 2024. Comfortable and very peaceful with a great kitchen.

Loved it here! This was a great find. It was a nice clean room overlooking the river and was on very pretty grounds alongside other rentable cabins. The Spicewood location right on the Pedernales and along lake travis was wonderful, truly waterside with easy access to the kayaks/canoes/paddleboards which you can rent through Travis quickly and conveniently. After sunset I had plenty of room to set up my telescope and had a great view of the moon and stars over the water. It’s right down the street from Krause and several other hillcountry gems. Great host. I’d totally come back.

What a great little house for me, my husband, and our dog to get away from the big city for a few days. It had everything we needed and plenty of space to lounge and play. The views from the back yard were amazing, and having access to the river for swimming was so fun. We also loved how the house was isolated and quiet, but super convenient to drive to Inks Lake for the day, or Burnet for meals and groceries. Would definitely recommend this house to families with kids and dogs looking for a little out-of-the-city adventure.

My husband and I loved the little cabin, very clean and comfortable. It’s private and very quiet. It has everything that we needed in order to make our stay more enjoyable. Everyone was very polite and helpful, whether it was through the people at Evolve and Ms. Hilda. They are polite, quick to answer any questions, and all instructions are very easily understood. Highly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful spot! It truly was a birder’s delight in late April. Walking down into the creek was magical and it made us so happy to see our suburb dog going wild running in the water :) the house itself has so many spots to enjoy the views from a wrap around porch and large windows. Plus plenty of seating down in the property while you explore.

Great stay!! Very comfortable for family of four. The park access was excellent for swimming and enjoying the river! Lots of deer activity every day. Thanks again hopefully be back soon!!

The Stone Cottage is a fabulous place to stay when exploring the Texas Hill Country. The home and surroundings are beautiful and everything during our stay was top notch. Great communication, super location, easy to find and check in, comfortable beds and furnishings, and a fantastic pool, large and clean - a bit chilly at first but great in the afternoon heat!

Travis is an IMMACULATE host and human. Living Waters is paradise; talk about pure bliss! This is the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at BY FAR for the price, and it is the first time I’ve ever stayed on a property for the entire trip, simply because it had that much to offer. Whether you’re into yoga, nature walks, wild animals, trees, campfires, kayaking, or so many other outdoor/indoor activities, you’re going to love this place. We were fully present every second, taking in every bit of nature we could for the one day we booked. We stayed Easter night and it felt like we were camping in a prime location; there were no people in site! The property was overwhelmingly beautiful, and paddle-boarding on the river made it that much better. The river views were simply stellar. We certainly did not want to leave the following morning. This place is worth booking for multiple nights, trust me. We’re going back as soon as possible; we have a lot more exploring and kayaking to do. Gratitude!

I needed a place to go and be alone for the weekend with a pool that was private and secluded. The Cabin in the Woods was just that. It is beautiful and peaceful and secluded. Sharon and Rudy were responsive and friendly. I never saw the zebra or donkey but heard the donkey. The pool was perfect and the scenery was indescribable. All amenities were as described and instructions provided were thorough and clear. I cannot say enough about The Cabin in the Woods. I dont remember how much I paid. It was worth every penny regardless of what I paid. I will be back. Thank you.

Very nice place that everyone enjoyed including the kids! Close to everything but secluded enough to relax and enjoy peace and quiet. The creek behind the property is beautiful and everyone enjoyed the amenities that were included.

My family and I loved it here. We'll totally stay again!

Came for a girls weekend and this cabin did not disappoint! Very comfortable and secure. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was clean and spacious. We would definitely recommend.

What an amazing rental. They were so accommodating at last minute. Beautiful secluded area with plenty of space to gather.

It was clean and a lot of space for big families and has everything you need and I recommend it I would like to go back.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin! Definitely recommend it to anyone for a quiet, clean place, beautiful scenery and close to town!

If you're looking to get away from crowds and have space to yourself, this is the place! Keep in mind that this location is NOT intended to be a luxury stay...it is rugged and set up similar to a hunting lodge. At the time of our stay, there were 2 sets of bunk beds, so for couples, there is either going to be a crowded bed, or you'll have to sleep separate. This wasn't an issue for us, as we knew what we were getting into to begin with, but something others should keep in mind when booking this location. It is comfortable, and on a ranch with lots of land, so staying here allows for exploration. For us, we'll definitely stay here again. Carl was super nice, and was more than willing to accommodate wherever necessary. We made a new friend by staying here!
