Villa Home Austin Texas United States - Listing #4843

French Country charm meets Western cool at this farmhouse-inspired retreat near Lake Austin. Details like a front turret, arched wooden door, stone walls, and sloping roof feel like they came from a fairy-tale cottage, but the horns over the fireplace show off Texas pride. Walk to the private dock for a swim and barbecue on the lake or drive 15 minutes to restaurants, bars, and music downtown.
Send the kids to play in the backyard treehouse while the grown-ups fire up the barbecue and catch up at the alfresco dining table on a brick patio. Or bring bathing suits for the whole family on the short walk to the dock, where you’ll find outdoor sitting and dining areas, a second barbecue, kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards. For evening entertainment, there’s a media room, cable TV, wine fridge, gas fireplace, and Wi-Fi.
Stone walls, wood-beamed ceilings, and hardwood floors give this vacation rental farmhouse flavor. But pieces like a nailhead-detail sofa and slipcovered chairs bring a modern side to the living and dining rooms. In the fully equipped kitchen, there’s a ficus tree to keep you company and an island layout to make cooking a breeze.
The master bedroom at this luxury property has a king bed, ensuite bathroom, its own office, and honeymoon-suite-worthy features such as a jetted tub and fireplace. There are also 3 bedrooms with queen beds: 1 with an ensuite bathroom and 2 that share access to a hall bathroom.
Spend your holiday in the sunshine by the lake or exploring the city. It’s less than 10 miles to Mount Bonnell and a rewarding hike to a viewpoint, a golf course, and the nearly 400 acres of Zilker Metropolitan Park, which includes the 3-acre Barton Springs Pool. A 10-mile drive brings you to the shops, restaurants, museums, and venues in downtown Austin.
