Location, Location, Location!

We are IN Austin and THE closest you can get to downtown Austin on Lake Travis (20 minutes) We are 30 minutes from Austin Bergstrom International Airport.. (see map) We are close to everything you need (grocery, shopping, restaurants, entertainment). Lake Travis is 65 miles long and encompasses many outlining areas of Austin.

This luxury Lake Travis waterfront estate sits 80 feet above the lake (elevator/tram to the water) creating breathtaking views from every room. Resort style negative edge pool with swim-up bar, swim lane and 'beach area' for lounge chairs and smaller kiddos. Full kitchen by the pool (sink, dishwasher, full fridge, warming drawer, BBQ grill) as well as a pool bathroom with air conditioned changing room.

Large covered deck with fireplace overlooking the pool and lake and a sun deck above. Property is completely 'walled' with security gate at entrance. 2+ acres with plenty of parking. Walk through the doors and down the hall to a 180 degree lake view that will take your breath away! This estate sits on the south shore of the main basin with NO low water issues! (the lake is still 80-100' deep in front of the home.

We have a boat dock that you can tie jet-ski's or a boat up to.

Experience the gorgeous sunsets from the pool, decks, or house without the sun glaring directly towards you (home faces N/S).

There's a movie theater that seats 8 with recliners and 120' screen and surround sound, the screen retracts to reveal a karaoke/performance stage complete with drum set, amps and mics!

Free Wi-Fi throughout the home as well as by the pool. Cable TV and a land line for local and long distance calling (not international)

This estate is excellent for entertaining and has plenty of indoor/outdoor space for guests (and parking).

The main house has 6 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and is 5100 sq. ft. and the guesthouse has 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths (each room has an en suite bath) and is 1,727 sq. ft. They can be rented together or separately (listed prices are for main home only, guest house adds $500/night plus tax) We only rent to one group at a time, so you will have privacy during your stay.

Main level:

Master bedroom: Lovely lake view from the king-sized bed, his and her closets, his and her toilets, dual shower heads, huge bubble tub with fire place, hand-painted mural and speakers for that romantic bubble bath

There's a bedroom next to the master with another 'secret' bedroom upstairs that is accessed from that room (has two queen beds).

Downstairs:

There are 4 bedrooms. Three rooms have queen beds and the other has two twin beds (all but one bedroom have views of the lake).

Guesthouse: (faces main house, about 25 steps away)

It has queen beds in all 3 bedrooms, plus each has their own private bath (and a half bath off the living room)

This home was featured on MTV Teen Cribs in 2009....that was fun! (Google MTV Teen Cribs episode 15)

We are here to accommodate you (we live 10 min away) and offer concierge-like service to our guests! If you need something...just ask!

Guest love hiring Chef ' BeMa Rose' to cook meals during their stay!

About Summer Bell

It's the best location in Austin! You have all the conveniences of Austin and it's THE closest to downtown that you can get on Lake Travis.

Summer Bell purchased this house in 2004
Why Summer Bell chose Lower Basin Lake Travis

We have lived in Austin since 1999. We built this custom home as our dream home in 2005. Tony is a Mechanical Engineer turned home designer/builder and I am a stay-at-home-mom to our 7 year old daughter (previously a Corporate Recruiter in the high tech industry and a small business owner).

What makes this house unique

We love this part of Austin, as it has so much to offer and love the hills and views. We have horses 2 miniatures and 2 full-size as well as laying hens for 'farm fresh' eggs. We enjoy boating on lake travis (wakeboarding and wake-surfing).

Relaxing Environment for Corporate Retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: May 20, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
Just spent three nights with corporate team of 12 in this wonderful lake house. Hard to call it that because it's so spacious with modern design and amentities just as described. Privacy and space was not an issue. We had a ball grilling out in the evenings hamming it up in the relaxing karaoke theatre in the night. Proximty to downtown Austin made it very convenient for a night out on the town. Would recommend this property for Corporate gatherings, retreats, and even better for multi-family gatherings.

Incredible House - Would Recommend to Anyone

Submitted: April 16, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Summer and Tony have an incredible place. I went down with 20 friends and had a great time. The outdoor space is perfect for hanging out during the day and the views are amazing. Summer and Tony were incredibly welcoming and were willing to help with anything we needed while down there. Will definitely stay there again if I'm back in Austin.

8 adults 11 kids. We had a fantastic time! The kids stayed in the pool most of the time, they performed in the theatre room, they enjoyed the horses and all the animals! We enjoyed biking to the Oasis, grilling and just plain relaxed knowing the kids were enjoying themselves.
Highly recommend!

Great 30th birthday trip for everyone!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 1, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Recently a group of my friends (14 including me) rented out this beautiful house for our 30th birthday trip. I couldn't say more positive things about the home, homeowners, and overall property. Summer and Tony's home accomodated our entire group with a wide range of bedrooms as we had couples and singles on the trip-something I couldn't find in many other VRBO houses for a group our size. The theater room with karaoke was a hit-as was the hot tub and infinity pool. The grounds are kept in perfect condition and the owners are extremely easy to access, giving us peace of mind. We had a wonderful time and I can't reccommed this property more!!!

Furthermore, this a very family friendly property. Even though we didn't bring any kids, we could easily see ourselves coming back with our children. The outdoor playhouse and swing set area would keep them occupied for hours. Additionally the extra room with the guest house would certainly host large groups.
