My friends and I stayed in Bruce's house during ACL weekend. It was amazing. The house is absolutely gorgeous. We spent the first couple of hours going from room to room in awe. Every detail is well designed, from the fountains in the pool to the steam room in the upstairs bath to the hot tub on the roof. WOW! We spent the weekend relaxing in the open-air living room, eating nice meals we cooked in the well-equipped kitchen, and lounging in the hot tub. It was such a great weekend, and we all felt as though we were far away from home. What a treat!!!!!

We stayed at this palace for a UT football weekend and the house was more than we anticipated. There are few views in central Texas better than this. We stayed in November so we didn't think we would be using the pool, only the hot tub, but in hind sight we wished we would have taken Bruce up on heating the pool for a nominal fee. We will be back in the summer and will certainly utilize the pool then.

Everything about the house was immaculate with such stunning decor. The master bedroom was amazing and there is plenty of room for a work outing or family gathering. Minutes from the lake and minutes from restaurants (Oasis, Iguana grill) and shopping (Galleria at 620 and 71). The 25 minute drive to the UT campus was well worth it and for us was preferrable compared to hotel prices and hassle downtown.

I would certainly recommend this property to family and friends and will be booking a summer trip here soon with both. Thanks Bruce!!

This house rocks! Not only it has everything one would want for a vacation house... it came with the best owner too. Bruce made it possible for us to feel right at home and everybody in our party felt the same way too. He was very accomodating. No one wanted to leave. I'm sure we will be coming back and hopefully we would be doing more of a real vacation to enjoy the facility as opposed to running around due to the event which brought us there.

Family Reunion

Beautiful lake front home with plenty of beds and space for our family reunion. The kids had a great time in the pool, jacuzzi and canoeing on the lake. The elevator was very convenient for our aging grandmother. Great view of sunrise and sunset. Everyone had a great time and Bruce was very accommodating and helpful. I would highly recommend this place, well worth our money.

Pictures do not do this property justice. This is an amazing rental and a fabulous location for a family get-together. Bruce, the ower, was very helpful and went out of his was to respond to questions and give us advice on a caterer for a family dinner. The house is gorgeous and well maintained. The amenities just go on and on. I would definitely go back to this property. My son and I had a great time taking out the canoe on the lake. My family also hired Bruce's boat for a few hours tour of Lake Travis and couldn't have asked for a better experience.

This was our 2nd time renting this gorgeous house. The house is beautifully designed with breathtaking views of Lake Austin & the Dam. The rooftop hot tub, gorgeous pool w/grill, well equipped kitchen, and access to the lake & canoe make it a lovely weekend getaway for a group of people.

Amazing Home

Bruce has gone above and beyond with this home, the architecture and materials are just fabulous! Everyone in our group had wonderful beds, bedding and baths. The kitchen is so well equipped that you can bring in your food and feel like you are cooking at home - even a coffee grinder! I would highly recommend this place for a family gathering, a book club trip or 5 or 6 couples! It's just wonderful. The pool is on the second level overlooking the cliff but is fenced off and perfectly safe, we had a 3 and 6 year old and they were just fine. Walking the neighborhood with all the hills gives you a built in gym (what a workout!). We are already planning our next trip back! Thanks Bruce!

With out a doubt the best VRBO experience I have had out of 5+. The view is spectacular, the home is luxurious, and the owner is extremely accomodating. 11 of us--women in our late 60's who went to junior/senior high together and do this every year--were very comfortable. We loved the pool and spent most of our time on the patio. Great inet connection. Easy access to Lake Travis for an outstanding boat charter, with the owner as the captain, in a 26 foot beauty of a boat. Great water for swimming. Just wish we could have stayed longer.
