Part of an Italian style estate, separated from the main house with private entry, the apartment suite is decorated with unique accessories, colorful art and best of all, incredible views of the sunset, hill country and main basin of Lake Travis. Only 19 minutes to Downtown Austin and 1 minute to mouth watering margaritas at The OASIS! The best bedroom view on the lake! Approximately 15 steep brick steps up to the front door.

We had a wonderful 3-day stay at this beautifully Italian-styled property overlooking Lake Travis. The view is absolutely magnificent and became one of the highlights of our trip. The place was very clean, comfortable, and had a warm, home-like atmosphere. It was well equipped with a kitchen, cozy sofa, TV, reliable Wi-Fi, and a very comfortable king-size bed. Everything we needed for a relaxing stay was provided. One of the best parts was the private balcony. From there, we enjoyed a panoramic view of the valley and the lake while feeling the cool breeze. The scenery was peaceful and unforgettable. Overall, this property offered both comfort and stunning natural beauty. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway near Austin and would gladly stay here again
