The pitch of the waterslide echoes the slope of the hills across the way at this contemporary-chic waterfront home on Lake Austin. A fountain flows at the private entrance to this gated estate, and the property only offers more ways to enjoy the water, from a two-level boathouse and a pool facing the lake to alfresco living areas by the shore. It’s 15 miles from this quiet retreat to downtown. 

Wander into the lake from the sand beach or take the slide directly into the water. You can also splash in the infinity pool and hot tub on the deck. Challenge friends and family to a game on the bocce court, sit down to dinner from the barbecue at the alfresco table, and linger under the stars around the firepit. After dark, serve drinks from the indoor wet bar around the pool and shuffleboard tables or around the satellite TV and Wi-Fi. 

Cream-colored walls, hardwood floors, and details like a turned-leg china cupboard bring a refined air to the formal dining room and an open-concept great room with a sitting area, breakfast nook, and a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar. But this vacation rental has a playful side, too, that shows up in elements like the koi-print wallpaper tucked away in one of the bathrooms. 

This luxury property has 2 bedrooms with king beds and ensuite bathrooms, including the master suite, and 4 bedrooms with queen beds: 1 with an ensuite bathroom, 1 with hall bathroom access, and 2 that share a hall bathroom. 

On warm days, spend the day in the water and the evening at a lantern-lit waterfront restaurant along the lake. It’s 7 miles to the 4 golf courses at Barton Creek Resort, 11 miles to the 3-acre Barton Springs Pool, and 15 miles to downtown Austin, where you’ll find everything from great live music and casual taco joints to one-of-a-kind holiday souvenirs and honeymoon-worthy restaurants, plus free tours of the Texas State Capitol building.
