Take a Dip in Heated Pool at Lux SoCo Retreat
Great location for a girls weekend. We enjoyed walking to local restaurants on Congress Street. The pool was lovely and the perfect little oasis during a hot day. Only downside was the construction right next door that started at 7AM everyday, but we understood that this is out of the hostâs control. Would stay again, perfect walkable location in a very nice neighborhood.

Lago Vista FREE Heated Pool, Fire Pit, Lake Travis
House was beautiful! Only âcomplaintâ is for those sensitive to the light: there are no black out curtains provided. Itâs worse in the front room because the flood/spot light by the garage is motion activated and turns on every five seconds, shining right into the room. Other than that: everything was amazing

Hill Country Waterfront Lake Travis House
Wish we could've stayed longer! The area is located in the middle of so many things that would be great to do wine tasting, whiskey places, restaurants, bars, attractions. If you do your research before arriving you'll have a list of things to do. Nonetheless, if evem if you don't, and you decide to stay at the house its feels secluded enough and spacious enough that that youre not crammed. The kitchen has so many cooking utensils and pots/pans that it felt like a home away from home. The grill was such a plus and with a full propane tank! Lastly, the dock offered so much space that if needed you could dip and sunbathe all you want. I will be back!

Hilltop Pool House W/great Views
This is rental was so nice to stay in, I have stayed in Lago Vista many times and this was my first unit with a pool, and truly made the experience so enjoyable. This pool house has amazing bedrooms and a modern large bathroom. The patio kitchen and dinning area is so inviting and add in a nice breeze and this canât be beat. We took advantage of the Webber grill and cooking outside and it was a great dinning experience. I would highly recommend this rental for future use.

Beautiful home! Lots of space, clean and great for families.

Boat Dock Road House
House was really nice and everyone had plenty of room. View from the backyard was amazing. Short walk down to the lake and boat dock. Being able to use the kayaks and paddle boards was a huge bonus.

Hill Country Oasis | Backyard Games | Lake Access
Lovely home and beautifully decorated. We had to stay for a week for my husbandâs job and I work from home. It has a cozy office with great internet and a nice patio to hang out in the evening. The home was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.

Memorial weekend was nothing short of spectacular at this wonderful home! The location and amenities were exactly what we were looking for! We will be coming back to stay at this beautiful place!

Secluded Lake Travis retreat in Serene Cove w/pool
Siren's Cove was a great weekend getaway! It had everything we were looking for in such a beautiful location. The host was easy to get ahold of and was always quick to respond to any questions/concerns we had. I would highly recommend this place for anybody that's looking for a great/quiet weekend trip!

Big Horn - Lake Front & Boat slip!
Beautiful property, beautiful home, everything was high quality and exceeded my expectations. We rented the house to celebrate my sonâs birthday and it was the perfect venue. Hosts communicated right away when I had a question.

Stunning view on Lake Travis! Private Lake access
You can't beat this location and the beauty of this home. Even though everyone said the water levels of Lake Travis were low , we couldn't tell as there was plenty of it and lots of water craft to watch having fun on the lake. The home was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Loved the sunsets and watching a storm move in while there. We enjoyed some of the restaurants nearby, too. We highly recommend this rental!

Luxury Downtown Home. Pool, Spa, Near Lake, Trails
PERFECT PLACE In ATX We absolutely loved this place. Arielle was friendly, informative and proactive!! She went above and beyond with welcome snacks and drinks. We have high standards for mattresses and Arielleâs were one of the best I have encounters at an AirBnB. Slept like I was on a cloud. Even though it is in the city, the neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful, yet close to all the places you want to be. Definitely will stay again when back in ATXđ

Heated Pool & Jacuzzi - Luxury Home - Lake Austin
Chad was an amazing host, very responsive and accommodating. He provided excellent recommendations and provided easy and clear instructions to make our stay smooth and enjoyable. The home was even better than expected, and felt right at home with very thoughtful details in our accommodations. Fully equipped kitchen, pool floats, bathroom extras, and more. Great space for our group of 12, never felt crowded. Would recommend this property to anyone wanting to explore the Austin/Lake Travis area!

Glam Resort Home, Private Heated Pool & HotTub
We really enjoyed our time here and would 100% book Aimeeâs property again. The property was spacious and was stocked with everything you would need. Aimee was also really responsive and helpful!

Private pool walking distance to Lake Travis

Pool/hot tub, 2 master suites, lake, beach, golf!
Sydney was a fabulous host. The home is beautiful and very well equipped and comfortable. We loved the pool and appreciated the extra touches that she provided such as toys for the kids, pool toys and floats and towels for the pool/lake and much more. Our family had a wonderful vacation!!!

Cabin In The Woods
Sharon was a very gracious host even brought us cookies which my husband thoroughly enjoyed. The area and the place was absolutely beautiful. It was very peaceful. We were there for a wedding at High Point Estates and it was close to the venue my favorite part of the whole cabin stay was the zebra and donkey named stripes and stars. We were able to feed them and enjoy them also. This is a place that I will definitely book again.

Lakeside Cabin + Pickleball
What a wonderful place to stay! Not only did the house work for our trip needs, but was better in person which never happens. There were lots of small details to appreciate from a fridge of ice cold bubbly water, soft linens, to overall, a well curated space. We will visit again!

Cozy, west Austin cabin.
Amanda was excellent with communication and her place is lovely. We found the Airbnb to be very cozy, and looked just like the pictures if not better. We definitely will see if this spot is available the next time we come to Austin. The location is perfect if you are wanting to head out to the countryside outside of Austin, while also being a nice distance to go directly into the city. We appreciate the clear instructions and recommendations.

Stunning View in Central Austin
We really enjoyed our stay at Cindyâs. It was as advertised and was perfect for our family.

Lake Austin Treehouse | 8-mins to 360 Bridge
The house was amazing. Kids had a great time with the playground and tree house in the back yard. The home was clean and our the host was very helpful and quick to respond. Highly recommend the home, I wouldn't hesitate to rent again. Thank you.

Austin Glass House-On TV, Two Films & Documentary
We had a wonderful stay in this peaceful and unique glass house. Surrounded by nature, the view is beautiful and itâs very quiet-perfect for a relaxing getaway. Itâs also close to several great parks. The house is well-equipped with everything we needed for daily life. A very special and memorable experience. My sons especially loved throwing rocks in the nearby parks. Highly recommended!

Cottage near Lake Austin with dock privileges
I couldnât say more about my stay. Jill was a wonderful host! The cottage was very cozy and clean and had everything I needed. I spent every evening on her dock which had a beautiful view. I also liked having a check in at 1pm as an option. I highly recommend staying at the cottage !
Your guide to Lake Austin
All About Lake Austin
There is so much fun to be had in Austin â live music, delicious barbecue, outdoor bars, chicken-poop-fueled bingo games, and kinetic festivals like South by Southwest â that itâs a good idea to take a breather before you fling yourself back in the fray. Enter Lake Austin. Located a little over ten miles from downtown, this reservoir along the Colorado River invites you to chill out and relax for a while. Swimming isnât the thing here â you arenât allowed to swim or float more than 50 feet from the shore. Instead, hop on the watercraft of your choice â canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, and motorized vessels are all available to rent nearby â and make your way through the winding waters, gliding under an award-winning bridge as you pass the stately mansions that dot the shore. After a day on the lake, head to one of the waterfront restaurants, where you can dine under a palapa.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Austin
Austin runs warm to very hot just about year round. June through August are the hottest months, with temperatures in the 90s and sometimes in the triple digits Fahrenheit. October cools down with temperatures in the 80s, and November through March bring temperatures between 60 and 70 degrees. March and April spike back up into the 80s. If youâre visiting during the summer, you should pack for very hot weather, and in winter expect cool nights and bring layers. You may experience thunderstorms any time of year, especially during spring, so always bring an umbrella and raincoat just in case.
Top things to do in Lake Austin
Mount Bonnell
Head to Covert Park to get a whole new perspective of the lake. This hillside park is home to the 775-feet Mount Bonnell, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors have been coming here since the 1850s to enjoy panoramic views of the water, city, and surrounding hills. To get to the top, youâll have to climb 102 stairs. Once there youâll find a small stone pavilion, so settle in for a picnic with a spectacular view before making the trek back down.
Pennybacker Bridge
Also known as the 360 Bridge, the Pennybacker Bridgeâs two stately arches span Austin Lake without touching the water â all the better to accommodate the many boats that float beneath it. Designed to blend into its surroundings, its weathered, rust-colored exterior has received awards for its innovative design. The bridge has become such a recognizable part of the Austin landscape, you can find it on many souvenir posters, keychains, and mugs. For an incredible view of the real thing, park in a small lot off the western road of the north span, then complete a short but steep hike to an overlook that offers incomparable views of the bridge, Austin, and â if you time it right â the sunset.
Emma Long Metropolitan Park
If you truly feel the need to jump into the cool waters of Lake Austin, this is an excellent (and legal) place to do it. This 1,142-acre park features waterfront barbecues and picnic tables, docks, piers, and a designated swimming area with a small sandy beach â where youâre likely to jostle with little ones wearing water wings. There is also a network of hiking trails, including the popular Turkey Creek, a tree-lined 2.8-mile path that winds alongside, and at several points crosses, a babbling creek.
