Family-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Travis

We very much enjoyed our stay at Steven's. It was a very peaceful surroundings with a hot and cold tub and sauna. The living room with a smart TV was a wonderful place to hang out with our family. The kitchen had all of the utensils and cooking appliances we needed and the beds were every comfy. Steven was a very helpful host giving us some ideas of local establishments and responded to our questions about how to set the hot tub temperature slightly higher and the cold plunge slightly colder. The sauna worked perfectly and was a joy to look out over the landscape as we enjoyed sweating. There were plenty of towels for our use. Next time in Austin we are coming to Stevens for sure.

This place is an absolute gem. Wacky and fun, it’s a house with unique charm and character, something that is increasingly rare to find on Air BnB. The bedrooms are a little unconventionally arranged so if privacy for every single bed is your main concern, perhaps it’s not for you. Otherwise you’ll fall in love with this one-of-a-kind place like we did. There were 8 of us staying for SXSW and we really felt like we had a home base. Brian was attentive, flexible and helpful throughout our stay. The neighbourhood is ideal, and walkable. In a world of grey floored rentals and bland, heartless renovations, this spacious home is a whimsical breath of fresh air. We wouldn’t have changed a thing.

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!

Loveeeed this place! Thank you so much for the stay!

This was our 2nd time staying at Sandi’s place and just like the 1st time we had a good time. There’s so much to do on the property (for all ages). The host are super nice and friendly and you discover something new every time you visit. We hope to visit again for a 3rd time… thank you Sandi for letting us stay in your Big Red Bunkhouse Alice n Mark

George's place was perfect for our family! There was plenty of space for our family of 12 to spread out, and the communal space in the kitchen was amazing. They have truly thought of everything a guest might need. Very clean and modern, and a short drive to many of the sights and downtown.

As soon as I got into the property I noticed everything was really thought out, organized and maintained. It made it feel very comfortable and the property was beautiful. I saw some deer, a hawk and a lizard. I felt so relaxed here, it was way better than any hotel. Thank you for sharing your property with us. I highly recommend.

Great hosts and excellent accommodations!

The home was clean and appropriately furnished. We did not cook or prepare meals so I can't rate the kitchen beyond the working coffee machine. The bedrooms and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. Great location!

Our stay at this Airbnb during our daughter's graduation at the University of Austin was absolutely fantastic. The home was not only comfortable but also conveniently located, allowing us to easily navigate the city and attend all the graduation events without any hassle. What truly set this Airbnb apart, however, was the exceptional hospitality of the host. She made sure we had everything we needed for a memorable stay and gave some great suggestions on places to eat. But what truly blew us away was her responsiveness to our request to look for our forgotten sunglasses. She found out sunglasses and promptly shipped them to us. It's these little gestures of thoughtfulness that truly make a difference and leave a lasting impression. Overall, our experience at this Airbnb was nothing short of amazing. Comfortable accommodations, a great location, and a host who goes above and beyond to make her guests feel at home.

Perfect location for our stay in Austin! Hands down one of the best experiences I have had booking a house on Airbnb. The house was clean, quite, and comfortable! Larry is very thoughtful and answered all of my questions before I thought to ask. His attention to detail, communication, and hospitality were all top notch. Flexible check-in and check-out. Just an overall good experience. Top of my list for the next trip to Austin.

This was a great place and location! Also, they communicated very well. Very easy check in and out. Definitely will look to stay here next time we are in Austin!

I had a wonderful stay at this adorable tiny home! From the moment I arrived, everything felt cozy and inviting. The home is thoughtfully designed, making great use of space while still feeling open and comfortable. It was spotlessly clean and had all the essentials I needed for a relaxing getaway. The decor was charming, with little touches that added personality and warmth to the space. I especially loved the outdoor area and unique layout. The location was perfect. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, making sure everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. I’d highly recommend this tiny home to anyone looking for a unique and cozy stay! I can't wait to come back!

I loved this place. Very cool interior, lovely outdoor space, and the location is terrific. Superquiet, but not far from downtown, it was the perfect place to come back to after a busy day at South by Southwest. Definitely hope to stay there again.

Would highly recommend staying here! The location is unbeatable with great restaurants, shops and bars with live music only a quick walk away. It was also a huge plus being so close to the greenbelt/parks (in addition to the large fenced in yard) for our dog. The house was fully stocked with everything you’d need for a short or long term stay- and was just cozy and inviting overall. We had a great stay and will hopefully be back!

Very quiet street with easy access to Barton Springs and some restaurants. The house has older construction and appliances, but everything worked well. Would recommend staying here for a casual trip.

John and Sherri’s place was even better than advertised! The property is beautiful and peaceful, and the Backwoods BnB is a large inviting space. Our two young children had plenty to keep them occupied, and morning walks to visit Brandi and Bailey- the two resident longhorns- was a highlight for our son! The large open floor plan worked great for us, and allowed our little ones to tire themselves out before bed each night. Although secluded, the BnB was a great base for day trips to Pedernales Falls, Wimberly, Fredericksburg, and Enchanted Rock. Dripping Springs is also a short drive away for groceries, or a quick meal.

we definitely enjoyed our stay. Super peaceful and clean. I really liked that it had two restroom. The lake is dried up so you don't get the view from the balcony but you still get to see the deer roaming the area which is nice.

Such a beautiful home in a great location. It was super close to everything you would need. House was spotless, rooms were beautiful. I will definitely be coming back.

My boys (12 and 15) and I made reservations for the small container home over spring break, but Matthew reached out a few days before our stay to let us know that some high winds had caused a bit of damage to the container home, and it wouldn’t be fixed by the time we arrived. He kindly and very generously offered to let us stay at the main house for no additional charge so that we could still enjoy our planned vacation. Amazing! We absolutely loved the property, which is lit up beautifully at night and is kitschy and country and comfortable in all the best ways. The decor of the home was unique and fun, and the fully stocked kitchen was perfect for cooking dinners in. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would come back again without hesitation. And we fell in love with the goats. So friendly and funny. Matthew was the same when we met him. You’ll definitely enjoy your stay at this colorful and restful respite from the city.

Beautiful space and kid friendly as well.

we had an amazing time at kims! we really enjoyed the pool and backyard, super comfortable beds, lots of room, and loved the house layout. the location was perfect!

the place was amazing. Mike is a great host.

We were in town to attend the MotoGP races at COTA from F-Sun and we needed a place to crash. This ended up being an amazing location to both get there and get back with minimal traffic as the majority of attendees stay in Downtown Austin which we wanted to avoid. The house is as pictured and we were satisfied with the provided amenities. The neighborhood is super quiet and if you are a bird lover be sure to sit on the back porch in the early morning/sunset times and you will be in for an auditory treat. Everything is provided for and there is lots of space for whatever your desired needs are while in the space. The hot tub rocks as well. Thank you for a lovely stay, we loved it!
