Jared Schuren, Elite Living purchased this estate in 2005
Why Jared Schuren, Elite Living chose Spicewood

The idea for Waterstone Lodge came from our experience in previous lake rentals and extensive travel all over America and the world, including numerous luxury villas and five-star hotels and resorts. We always remembered what we liked and what we didn’t. We often remarked on features we always wanted, but never found. From this list of favorites and deep wishes we created Waterstone Lodge on Lake Travis.

Starting with the beautiful scenery of the Texas hill country outside Austin on the deep and clear water of Lake Travis, we purchased a two-acre waterfront lot in Lakecliff. This exclusive gated community is on the south side of the quiet end of Lake Travis, and it has world class golf and tennis facilities besides this most magnificent lake.

Lakefront lots in this area are on a cliff, and most of them are very steep requiring high and difficult-to-navigate stone stairs from the house to the lake. This was one of the aspects of our lake experience we did not like. It made the lake less accessible and made it a chore to go back and forth, especially with food and gear. For the elderly, it made it virtually impossible. Because of this,we found a lot not only with a spectacular view of the lake, but one that had a gentle slope down to the lake on which we put a drive path for a golf cart.

Having a place in Aspen, we came to love mountain lodge design and we melded this with Texas Hill Country style; both are rich in the use of natural timbers and stone. Also, we added large expanses of glass to exploit the scenic views that give it a bit of a modern flavor.

The home was designed with the “form follows function” philosophy, where the function here is fun, relaxation, beauty, romance, intimacy and luxury. Waterstone Lodge sleeps up to 14 people in five bedrooms to accommodate several families or a large extended family.

Waterstone Lodge Visit

We had a family gathering at the Waterstone Lodge to celebrate my Mom's 90th birthday and the whole family found it to be a wonderful experience. The property fully met, and some cases, exceeded my expectations and fully lived-up to the online billings. All of the furnishings were first class. The kitchen was particularly well furnished with everything that we needed. We found the place to be meticulously maintained and well managed.
Owner's Response: Richard,

It is comments like this that make this all worthwhile. We love having you as our guests and hope that you will return one day. The Waterstone Lodge was created for great events such as yours. Thank you for choosing us.

Fantastic vacation at Waterstone Lodge

We had the pleasure of staying at Waterstone over spring break this year. The house was everything we could have hoped for and more. The owner has thought of everything- the kitchen was fully stocked, the bedrooms clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated, the outdoor areas stunning. We loved soaking in the hot tub, roasting marshmallows in the fire pit and gazing at the stars in the clear night sky. The kids had a blast in the pool, playing ping pong and they even caught some fish! We travelled with our 2 kids (age 7 and 11) and two sets of grandparents, and everyone LOVED the house. We have already told several friends about this wonderful property, and there is no doubt that we will be returning as soon as our schedules allow! Thank you to the owners for allowing us to enjoy their beautiful home.

Worth Every Penny

This house is magnificient. It's not only beautiful, but it's comfortable, user friendly, full of amenities and totally private. There's nothing missing that you could possibly want in a vacation home. In fact, it surpasses what you will find in the majority of rentals anywhere. Being there was like owning your own spectacular home for a few days.

Our family came from CA, New York and Dallas for a family reunion. The ages ranged from toddler to 60 years old. And this house was fabulous for each and every one of us. The beds and bedrooms were extraordinarily comfortable and beautiful (no expense spared on bedding and furnishings) The kitchen was awesome with it's size and appliances and special coffee makers. The site was
superb not only with it's gorgeous pool and deck and waterfall and hot tub but with it's own private beach below. The view of the lake was breathtaking. The video and game rooms were terrifc for family fun along with the ping pong table and large back porch/deck and fire pit for late night smores. The great room was large and roomy for all of us with floor to ceiling windows to take in the magnificient view.
The private lot with acres and acres of open space to walk and run and drive the provided golf cart, lent itself to hours of play and fun. There is also a golf course on the gated community grounds as well as racquetball and tennis. And, 8 deer ran past us in the afternoon.

Every picture of this house on the web is acurate. Everything is as you see it and beyond. We rented it at Thanksgiving but would love to rent it again in the summer. And, an added bonus was the customer service we received from start to finish. We couldn't have had better care. It made our stay so positive in every way. We are seasoned travelers, and cannot recommend Waterstone enough.
It is worth every penny and more.
Owner's Response: It is people like you that make this job worthwhile. Thank you so much for posting sucj a lovely review. Please do come back in the summer. We hope that everyone enjoys our home like it is their own and you seem to have fone that.

Couples retreat

Submitted: October 23, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
We had five couples stay here for half of a week.. There was plenty of room, great hot tub and pool. Fireplaces inside and out. Kitchens inside and out. There was a huge array of electronic equipment to use and we had trouble learning how to use it. There were also things that needed repair. The owner had workmen out to do these repairs most of the time we were there. Beautifully decorated clean great views everywhere. It's isolated so bring in supplies. The lake is down 30 feet so forget about the dock, boating, etc. for now..The owner is very responsive and helpful. We loved it. Two golf courses nearby workout facility nearby, we brought bikes and enjoyed riding in the hills. Follow directions carefully when trying to find this place!

Owner's Response: Kathy, I'm so glad that you could come to The Waterstone Lodge. We strive to make your stay perfect. I am sorry we had to have a repair done while you were there. We also just upgraded our AV system so we are all learning the ropes. We are visited often by couples such as yourselves and love to hear what you guys think. I will do all that I can to make your next stay PERFECT!! Please come again. Pam

We would HIGHLY recommend this property - we had been promised luxury accommodations and it did NOT disappoint! The property description was just right as we were trying to get exactly 12 people. We had teenagers and adults. The house had two family areas for lounging, for TV (Summer Olympics ;-) and video games. Every room was appointed beautifully with all of the amenities from home and more - plush decorations to blow dryers, robes and extra towels and bedding. The free wi-fi worked great. The hot tub was easy to operate. We happened to be there for a rare meteor shower and just laid in the pool one night watching stars fall out of the sky.. utterly magical. The back patio is fantastic with lots of sitting areas and even in August, there was a cool breeze from the Lake... extremely enjoyable. We golfed, boated on the lake, enjoyed country club meals and mainly rested and relaxed around the gorgeous home. The kitchen had 3 different ways to make coffee! with coffee supplies! It had everything to make delicious meals - in fact, it would be perfect for a family reunion or holiday. We would love to come back - maybe a winter visit -- and enjoy all of the big stone fireplaces :)
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your comments. We aim to please but it is always nice to hear that our time and effort is appreciated. We hope that you do come back as repeat cutomers is what we are all about. We appreciate you choosing our home above all others as we do realize that you have a great choice.

Waterstone lodge is a perfect house for big family get-togethers, corporate retreats, etc. It is huge, isolated and beautiful. The part of Lake Travis where it's located is very quiet which makes for excellent swimming and boating. The house also features a viking range & grill which is great for those who like to cook. Thanks for the great stay!
Owner's Response: We are happy that your corporate retreat was successful as we heard from one of your attendees. You were all fabulous tenants and hope to see you again.
Thank you for choosing the Waterstone Lodge.

My family rented the villa as well as one of the golf cottages the first week of April and we had an incredible time. The Lodge is stunning - the four "adult" bedrooms were all amazing and the bunk room is great for kids. The rest of the house is beautiful and there is so much to do onsite. It's a great location - close enough to Austin but still with Lake Travis access. Gorgeous pool, waterfall, hot tub and outdoor kitchen make the outdoors a blast. The owners really do a tremendous job taking care of every detail and they also helped provide contacts for catering, photography, golf, tennis, you name it. We hope to come back one day.
Owner's Response: So glad that you all had a great time. I also hope that you come back. It sounds like you had the ping pong tournement of the century!! You must have a rematch!! Also glad the photograher, chef and weather were great. Thank you for such a nice review and hope to see you in the future.

Eleven high school girlfriends rented Waterstone for a weekend to celebrate our 60th birthdays. I knew the house was going to be spectacular from the pictures but the others were taken by surprise at how big, how beautiful, and how luxurious it is. EVERYTHING about Waterstone is top notch. The house, the pool, the hottub, the inside and outside seating areas, the fabulous kitchen, the golf court, the media room, the push button coffee maker, the linens, and the list goes on and on. There are several wineries in the neighborhood as well as shopping in Lakeway but I couldn't get the ladies out of this beautiful house. They wanted to ENJOY THE HOUSE while we ate, drank, laughed, danced to oldie goldies, played cards, etc. Waterstone is one of the nicest houses I have ever rented. I very highly recommend it!!
Owner's Response: We are so glad you enjoyed yourselves. Please come back and do it again. We built this place for events just as yours and it makes us feel great to know that you enjoyed it.
