Disappointed
Review Submitted: August 18, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
This property at one time was probably beautiful and terrific, it is older and definitely needs some TLC. Absolutely no place to swim, the picture showing the short walk to the cove is not current, although the lake was very very low I was assured there was adequate swimming, not true. Wished I had rented a condo with a pool instead.
Owner's Response: You know some people just amaze me... In numerous emails to this renter I stated that Lake Travis is not at the current level and swimming is available but not ideal as it is shown on the website pictures. I told her every time I spoke to her that you could swim (we do) but the water is extremely low and not as pictured. I tried to explain where the water level currently was but without her every seeing the lake and/or property it was very difficult. After a few weeks of emails she then sent me this in an email "thanks Carrie, my daughter has reserved a boat nearby for 5 hours on Saturday, we meet them at the marina" leading me to believe they would not be swimming in the cove anymore and out on the lake like most people do when visiting a lake. We do not have a pool and if she wanted to swim in a pool then yes she should have chosen a hotel but we rent a LAKE house and provide for LAKE access.
I post complete information on the home and show several pictures (as many as allowed by the website) so that everyone sees what they are renting. Lake Travis is at is lowest point in more than 30 years, this is addressed to all my renters. If you are not interested in swimming in a lake then you should choose to vacation elsewhere and stay at a hotel.
