Perched on a hilltop above the Colorado River, this Austin house boasts a Baja shelf pool and hot tub on a terrace with wooded hillside views stretching out in every direction. As the sun drops, the built-in bar above the canyon comes into its own, and a covered fire pit terrace keeps evenings going long after dark. Inside, bold original artwork and a statement chandelier in the dining room give the place real character. The River Place Nature Trail and Lake Travis are close by when you're ready to venture out.

Home truths
At full occupancy, you'll need to make use of two rollaway beds here. We think they're best suited to children.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There are three parking spaces here – two in the carport and one at the top of the driveway. The driveway is steep, so take care when arriving and departing.
Swimming in the lake below is not permitted, so you'll be keeping all water time to the pool and hot tub on the terrace.
The lead guest must be at least 21 years old.
