Family-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Austin

what a wonderful stay! it is so peaceful here. Jaya's place is very comfortable, I felt right at home. The bed is very comfortable and so many amenities to keep us busy. we love watching the friendly deer! 🦌

We really enjoyed our stay here. We most likely will be back and recommend others to stay here as well. The value was great for the place and view. There were a few minor wear and tears on items but we didn’t stay in the room long enough for it to affect our stay or opinion. I absolutely loved how spacious the balcony is, the seating areas, and the ability to see the pool and the lake at the same time. It was an amazing view. There were a few minor issues with plumbing in the garage but we weren’t near or at the room so honestly we wouldn’t have known anything about it if the host wouldn’t have communicated it. I believe this is a gem and I’ll definitely stay again.

Travis was an exceptional host. He was quick to communicate if anything was needed and offered multiple amenities. The space itself is very private, great for photos especially around the lake, it's just you and nature. If the weather wasn't so cold we definitely would've hit the water. Hadn't ever heard of spicewood before, but would come again! Thank you again Travis!

Fantastic location and the house looks better than the pictures. Great communication and hospitality by Michael. Definitely recommend it

Sandi is extremely friendly and attentive. This was our 4th year staying here and we plan on coming back for many more years to come. We are always treated like family and love all the many parts of her place. I can’t wait to visit it again.

Amazing stay!! Clean, awesome house! Quick to communicate and help with anything needed! Would definitely stay again.

Great communication, location within steps to the brewery, lots of activities

Beautiful home, centrally located, and very quiet. It was very spacious and comfortable, would definitely stay again

Very peaceful place for a weekend getaway. Hosts were friendly and communicative! Highly recommend making this your place to stay in Austin.

Exactly as described- a place to get lost in nature and unwind and relax. It was exactly what we were looking for!

Great place to stay! The host was very responsive and accommodating. The house was clean, spacious, and had all the kitchen supplies needed for a full weekend. Also, the location is amazing and the views are incredible! Highly recommend staying here.

I enjoyed my stay in Lucy’s place; it was well-stocked with necessary items to use during the stay. She was very responsive and proactive in figuring out a solution anything that needed attention. She was kind too. The neighborhood felt safe and there are a few cafes/restaurants in walk distance. Thanks Lucy!

We had a great stay at this home and really appreciated how communicative the host was-always quick to respond to any questions. The home felt very “lived in,” which we actually appreciated for a kid-friendly stay. The photos were accurate overall, though the exterior was more overgrown than expected and the trampoline looked a bit “play at your own risk.” That said, our kids had an amazing time with the seemingly endless toys, and it was a huge relief not having to bring bulky items like a stroller or a Pack ‘n Play, since they’re here. The beds were very comfortable, the A/C kept us cool during a hot Austin weekend, and having a good washer/dryer made life easier. The location is definitely a strong point—easy access to some great local spots, including Launderette and Bufalina, both of which we’d highly recommend. Check-out was simple. Our only real suggestion would be a deeper cleaning refresh to match the overall comfort and utility. This place is equipped for families!

Quick drive to downtown/tourist spots Perfect sized house and was comfortable with 4 people. loved the set up. Cute backyard. Clean and comfortable beds. Would stay here again!

We stayed here for my girlfriend’s birthday weekend and had an amazing time. The space was cozy, cute, and thoughtfully designed — with plenty of room to stretch out, enjoy the quiet, and let our dog run around freely. It felt private and peaceful, with beautiful views all around. One heads-up: the bathroom setup was a bit unconventional, with no separation between the shower, sink, and toilet. It caught us off guard at first, but we adjusted quickly and it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Some of our favorite moments included sipping coffee on the balcony in the morning, visiting the goats, pigs, and donkeys on the property, and exploring local gems like Jester King Brewery and Abby Jane’s Bakery. A relaxing and memorable stay — would definitely recommend!

Thank you, Carissa! Our stay was perfect. The home was perfect size - we felt like right at home. The cozy backyard was my favorite. I enjoyed having coffee and listening to the birds in the morning.

we felt like it was an absolute honor to stay in this artistic tribute to all things wonderful - whether a picture of a giraffe peering in the window to see what you are cooking, or a small plastic pig figurine looking down from above the shower. What an experience and we suspect each item displayed has a rich story that could go along with it. The artful displays provide a rich coziness to the experience in this large home. The owner keeps the place spotless and supplied with anything you might need. She is a super communicator and readily available to assist in any way. This is a place you do not want to miss - it is as unique as they come and very comfortable!

We really enjoyed our stay! The home was clean, spacious, and perfect for our large group. It’s close to lots of attractions, which made getting around super easy. We loved the extra amenities — the cute little putt putt corner, pool, and outdoor dining area were huge highlights. The beautiful trees in the yard added such a nice, relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely stay here again!

John & Sherri were very responsive when i had any questions, and are just down to earth people.

Hacienda was more than perfect for the bachelorette! The space was great for 7 of us girlies and very clean. Hosts were available if we ever needed anything, clear instructions on entering the bnb and even allowed us in a little early. Highly recommend this bnb for anyone visiting for a bachelorette or birthday! Easy drive to downtown or local restaurants as there’s everything you need nearby. Thank you for a great place!

Kim and her husband Tex are great hosts. They addressed our concerns quickly. Their place is nice. Our family enjoyed the pool. We recommend Kim’s listing!

An amazing cozy little corner of the world! Perfect place to get away from everything!

I can't recommend this rental highly enough. Robert was an incredibly gracious host that took great care of us when we stayed at his property. The home has wonderful natural lighting, great amenities, and is located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Thanks for having us, Robert!

Really enjoyed our stay at Drew's place. The pool and outside area were awesome. The neighborhood was a short walk to south congress but also very quiet and peaceful. Drew was very communciative and flexible. Would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Austin. Thanks!
