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!

Friendly and thoughtful host, great location (walkable, safe, central). My family all enjoyed their stay, the house felt very comfortable and clean and we were well provided for.

We had a wonderful week at the Lucky Star Ranch. We enjoyed swimming, pickleball, visiting the long horn and bison while watching the beautiful sunsets. Priceless time with family. Thank you Sandi and Bob!

George was extremely responsive and helpful. The house was perfect for our group meeting up to come to a wedding. it's a great space for hanging out!

The neighborhood was aesthetically pleasing and conveniently located near a variety of retail stores and dining establishments. • The cottage offered a warm and inviting atmosphere, contributing to a comfortable stay. • The backyard space, particularly the hot tub, was a highlight and greatly enhanced our overall experience. • The cottage was well-appointed and fully equipped with all necessary amenities. • Communication with the host, Trisha, was efficient; she provided prompt and helpful responses to all inquiries and was very polite. • The bed provided a high level of comfort throughout our stay. • The outdoor grill was fully functional and user-friendly, with no operational issues encountered. • The deer added a charming touch to our stay. 😍

I had a wonderful stay while on a work trip at Obichukwu Joshua’s condo. Directions were easy to follow for parking and check-in. The condo was clean and nicely equipped. The building is in a beautiful setting along the water with a nice pool area.

We felt right at home! The house is in a great location and neighborhood is nice and quiet. Would highly recommend staying here.

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.

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.

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!

Christina’s place is quiet and beautiful, but a quick ride to town with lots of great restaurants and things to do. The host was responsive and allowed us to leave our luggage before checking in- making our visit much easier. 10/10

Biens place was as described. Nothing more and nothing less, so it fit our needs. Would have liked to have a checkout instruction posted somewhere in house instead of waiting until day before checkout for people like myself that like to get things done ahead of time and be prepared early. We'd rent the place again, but set your expectations accordingly.

The house is beautiful and all the instructions were clear. Check in was easy and just as described. The house is charming and we enjoyed everything. The host is quick to answer. We would definitely come back

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.

Beautiful space and kid friendly as well.

Our SXSW production team called this house the “MTV Real World Spring Break House Austin, TX.” It was absolutely incredible. We felt we could get lost in the house as there were so many different rooms and bathrooms. The pool and outdoor areas are fabulous and there were enough beds to cater to a large traveling group of business professionals and/or large family vacations. It takes 10 min to walk to 6th Street and less than 2 minutes by scooter 😱. If we’re lucky enough, we’d stay here every time we’re in Austin. Thank you again for the outstanding time.

This is the absolute best sanctuary/vacation home to stay in. The best scenery, close to wildlife (had a deer let me pet it), the coolest little family vibe, and just all around amazing. I will choose this place every single time I come and visit Dripping Springs.

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!

Great time spent at Doug’s tiny home! I highly recommend this place! Loved the nature and vibe overall! Lots of things to do to have fun!
