I had a great experience going missing for a weekend. This was one of the most unique hotel…read moreexperiences I've ever had. My cousin and I needed a quick getaway to reset and relax and this was just the vibe we needed. We drove in from Austin which took about an hour but we stopped at the HEB 20 minutes out to stock up. Be sure to follow the directions given to locate your glamping dome. We actually only spent one night but it was so comfortable and clean and very welcoming. They provide the basic necessities for showering and even big spray. The hot tube was a perfect way to melt away the stress of the week. Highly recommend the experience. I'd love to go back again.

5/5! We enjoyed our stay and it was incredibly peaceful and appreciate all the activities mentioned…read morewhile we were there. There are some spots of the location that are spotty in service but you are basically camping so that's somewhat expected though they do have wifi you can connect to! From my experience there wasn't a physical desk or reception desk to check-in so you would have to contact the hotel by call or text where they provide the information to you. I will mention that I thoroughly appreciate their customer service through text when we needed something or asked for clarity. Incredibly attentive and so helpful! Really made the experience memorable because of it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved the lookout, the games, plenty of seating, private chairs/hammock, activities around, personal space of acres, etc. We would absolutely will come back again! One thing to note: There were a lot of trails which we LOVE so many ways to explore but some of the trails aren't marked or have markings/on the map so it wasn't clear if it was meant to be walked through

Property is very unique. There is a huge potential here but is currently not well maintained…read more(grounds - poison ivy was everywhere, plumbing - tub/pool in one treehouse didn't drain, gross - showers in bathhouse need new valves...finding hot/cold/off difficult.

For my hubby's birthday, I booked a 2 night stay here for Aug 1 & 2, 2020. We stayed at the Yoki…read moreTreehouse which is their newest treehouse that is very private and secluded. The treehouse itself was amazing and it was a dream come true for us as we have both wanted to stay in a treehouse since we were kids! I mean who doesn't have a childhood dream of staying in a treehouse but there's not many opportunities to do so growing up in a city. We had a relaxing 2 days here where we enjoyed the soaking tub, read in the reading nook, laid out on Big Joe, had our morning tea and coffee outside in nature, bird watching and so much more! It was so quiet and its truly just a time for you to connect with nature. The treehouse itself is beautiful, modern and the layout and design is truly thought out to immerse you in nature. You are surrounding by trees whichever glass window you look at. It is so quiet, you feel suspended in the trees! My favorite part of the treehouse which I had figured out the moment I was leaving was that everything you pour into the kitchen sink...goes right to the floor 30 feet down. Water gets poured back into nature below! My hubby was pouring out the tea I did not finish and I just so happened to be standing outside the front door with our luggage when I heard loud water being splashed. I peaked down and saw the tea go straight down. That was the coolest! I had booked this trip way before COVID and due to the pandemic, the zip lining tour was cancelled. But, it's ok as we still had a fantastic time staying here! The price for the Yoki per night is very expensive and I would recommend for the owners to at least provide breakfast every morning. A hand delivered breakfast would be a very nice touch. Shout out to Shelby for keeping me in the loop the whole time and when I needed shower gel & Kleenex she arranged for it to happen. Keep in mind this is nature and there are bugs/insects everywhere. The restroom is a place were they like to hide. We saw spiders, scorpions, grasshopper, centipedes, wasps in there. FYI- there is no body lotion or hair dryer in case those things are important to you, please bring those! Otherwise everything else that a hotel normally has, is provided. We had such a great time and my hubby is so happy and surprised that I booked such a beautiful place to share with him!

Stayed at the 3 BR/8 guest house on Aug. 10-13th. I had an issue on the initial booking identity…read moreverification where there was an error on the verification questions. This caused my booking to be cancelled and I had to rebook and reverify. VERY inconvenient but everything got worked out. When you pay $900+ per night you don't want to be inconvenienced while trying to book. The Reserve is a nice community, but like all managed "premier planned" suburban areas they are very Nazi-ish with rules and enforcement. Again, when you're paying over $900 per night it's very off-putting and insulting to constantly be reminded of the rules. They treat you like you're a college kid trying to sneak and throw a frat party while you're parents are away for the weekend. Our rental even had cameras on the house that were actively being monitored (details below). VALUE: I don't normally complain about price so I won't do it here. Let's just say that this place is expensive. I voluntarily paid the money but it's a high price. HOUSE: Nice place, very clean. Premium decor - Texas modern rustic. Complimentary prosecco in the fridge upon arrival was a nice touch. Bring your own food/drinks/condiments (salt, pepper, etc.)/ice. All utensils for just about any kind of cooking and everything needed to have nice dinner parties were there. We had an issue with POOL: I did a cabana rental for 2 days at $50 per day. Rentals include a complimentary pitcher of beer or margarita per day. Pool was nice and in good shape. Lazy river, kids pool and infinity pool as well as swim up bar and snack bar are all part of the pool. You aren't allowed to bring any alcoholic beverages, food, or coolers into the pool area. They did allow us to bring an individual cup or water bottle. They will search your bags for food/alchohol/etc. if you bring large bags. LOCATION: Be prepared to drive 40 minutes to anywhere. There's enough restaurants, entertainment, etc. 45 minutes away. All-in-all this was a good place to stay. The main reason this is not a 5-Star review is because I was contacted by TurnKey with a threatening call because the management/owner were watching us on the Arlo/Netgear camera (Nazi-ish) on the back patio (there's a camera on the front porch and back patio) and thought that one of my guests was on the back patio smoking. None of us are smokers and it was insulting for them to accuse us of smoking (I'll say it again for emphasis... when you're paying over $900 per night).

The Reserve is pretty much like a resort get away! This place is definitely what I would call…read moreposh. My cousin and his family have a membership here and they invited us to come out for the day. When you are driving out there it feels like it is kind of in the middle of nowhere and then all of a sudden this paradise appears. We spent time at the marina. This was the nicest marina I have seen in the Austin area for sure! I could tell everything is taken care of with the utmost care possible. The marina is treated somehow as well so that the cobwebs and spiders don't take over your boat and slip area, which is super nice and convenient. There is also room for outdoor kitchens and patio furniture at the front of each slip. People have grills and stuff out there too. I gathered that it is a thing to just hang out at your slip area and cook out with your friends and family and you may or may not even take the boat out. After we took the boat out and came back in we road the golf cart up to the lazy river. This is where it really started to feel like a resort for me. They have a decent sized lazy river that is so much fun! There is a swim up bar on one side and the bar opens to the deck area on the other side. There are plenty of tables to sit at and chase lounge chairs in the sun and shaded for total comfort and relaxing. I had a few perfectly made margaritas from the bar and had a wonderful time hanging out with my family and floating the lazy river! The Reserve property is actually pretty huge! They also have cabins you can rent out, tennis courts and a park area. There is lots of places to hike around as well. This would be the perfect family get away spot and it is not too far from other cool outdoor things like Krause Springs, Hamilton Pool Park and of course Lake Travis!

Wow, I'm just not convinced that these reviewers are talking about the same place as where I…read morestayed! Either that or the place used to be a lot nicer and better run than it is currently (which is i think the case). Judging by the beautiful pictures on the website vs what was the present day reality, I I think its the later. The house is nice, spacious, and comfortable. But it's not as nice as what the pictures make you believe. The rooms are cheaply outfitted and the decor is cheesy. The whole set up of the B&B is a bit weird though. Each room has a keyed entry with a private bathroom, balcony, a coffee pot, and mini fridge. Guest pay by the room they stay in. There is a huge common living room, kitchen, and breakfast nook downstairs on the bottom two levels. The top floor has to use an exterior spiral staircase to get back into the main living area part of the house. Luckily my family rented every room in the place for a holiday get together, so we thought we should have privacy and not be forced to hang out in the common areas with other guests we did not know. Well...this was partially true..... read on. So when we first get there, we see the sign for the B&B on the side of the major road and the house is WAY up on this huge hill and has a tiny parking lot that can fit two cars that was full. We park on the site of the road and climb up the steep and very ricketty old stairs to the back porch of the house, and then Esmerelda comes out and tells us we have to go around to the other side of the house, and gives us some directions that were partially coherent. We drive around, and find the other side of the house has parking at the entrance level, albeit very limited and cramped parking on the side of a narrow driveway. Esmerelda is waiting at the doorway and introduces herself and we asked for the tour. She walks us from room to room, not saying much, and was very unwelcoming. She's simply open the doors to each room, anounce the name (which is a color) and then go to the next room. We asked her some questions, and she didn't understand us because it seems that her english is not very good. When we got back to the living and kitchen floors, I asked what was behind a couple doors and was told "NO NO NO" so I shut them quickly and left that alone. Then, we started unloading our food into the large built in stainless steel fridge, and Esmerlda came over and kinda mumbled something as she hurried to grab up food that was in the fridge and take somewhere else. We were under the impression that there would be some food stocked in the house. The pantry area was well stocked with all sorts of dry food, and even liquor....but again we were told NO NO NO. The food that was for us, was in a TEENY TINY mini fridge smaller than even in a dorm room. It included bottled water, yogurt, a couple peices of fruit, and orange juice. So what was all the food in the fridge and freezer and pantry for? The fridge has all sorts of weird stuff in there...including fish marinating in an open bowl of juice. Yuck! And the freezer was stuffed to the brim with frozen foods, mostly meat I think. So, we go sit on the back porch to enjoy the nice weather and notice there is a jacuzzi being filled with water from a garden hose. Not sure why, since it is november and no one brought our swim suits and Austin is in a major water rationing drought. If they had asked, we would have told them NO please dont waste the water. The view off the back of the house was listed as a lake view...and in years where the lake was full, this would be true, as there was a dried up boat ramp at the base of the house. But, as is, we could NOT EVEN SEE THE LAKE. I'm talking at least a mile away or more. Lake Travis was depressingly low. So there is this old weather tattered bar outside that looks like it came from some closed down marina night club with the words "The Blue Fairy on the side" and also these outdoor bathrooms that resembled those at a public pool. Basically a shed made of corrugated steel with no lights inside. Nice. We notice this is the only communal bathroom in the whole house. So unless you want to go upstairs to your room, if you want to pee while in the living area, you have to go outside. Really nice. As we are commenting on all these unexpected and not pleasant surprises out comes this man from no where, with no introduction, no greetings, nothing. He is just walking around. He is probably at least 6'5" and is built like a line backer, is african american, and was wearing athletic clothes with no affiliation to the B&B (esmerelda wore a shirt with the B&B name on it). He had this perma scowl on his face and said not a word to us, but would appear throughout the trip at various points and just walk out...even in sweat pants...make himself comfortable at the other end of the porch, or in the living area, and then leave. We still dont know if he worked there, or was just a crasher?

Turning your car around on the edge of a cliff is an interesting task. There is NO LAKE. therefore no lake views, no lake activities. Nobody greets you when you get here. The lady we found wandering around downstairs doesn't speak English but we did manage to clarify that breakfast was from 7-9 am. Which it was not. My husband and I are early risers. Nothing was going downstairs at 7 am. No coffee, no pastries. Dark cold kitchen. The room was ok, slightly dated. Stains on carpet, crack in tub, tiny bed. We were in the blue room. I have never stated at a b&b before and if this is any indication how this works I never would again. The Wi-Fi although free does not work. We tried watching a movie in bed on the iPad, no deal. The phone service is limited. They have a collection of old books to read. Nobody answers the phone numbers given for this place. In the middle of the night we were woken to all the noise from upstairs and an odd dripping noise. Water leaking from the upstairs into our place. We called the number to let them know. Of course no answer and no response. We paid $179 for this place through some expedia deal. Save your money. Stay at the red roof inn for $51.

Wedding venue of my dreams. If you are looking for a venue where you have to do minimal touches…read morebecause the venue itself in its natural state is already so beautiful, then you've found it. Every detail of this place is absolutely gorgeous. My husband and I were married here in April 2024 and we seriously talk about this venue and all of its magic at least once a week since then. We wanted to have a small intimate gathering that had a very organic look. In the spring, this place really comes to life, the birds, the butterflies, the way the light shines through the windows in La Casa De Joy, everything felt like a fairytale. The venue is tucked away in a sweet lakeside neighborhood as well so the drive there in the spring is country roads lined with wildflowers and bluebonnets which was an added plus. We rented the entire venue and had some guests stay in the other houses on the property while we stayed in La Casa De Joy and everyone absolutely loved it. We heard nothing but positive things from every guest. Such a unique venue. Not to mention, Travis, the property manager was an absolute delight to work with. Really so so kind and understanding of our wants and needs and was truly there to answer any questions we had. We will definitely be coming back to relive our wedding day each year with a stay at La Casa De Joy. Truly such a gem of an experience. My highest recommendations to anyone looking to relax, reconnect, breathe and just be present. Go to this place!!

We came a little unprepared with no food but the campsite has lots of meal kits that you can cook. We got two steaks, eggs, and some bacon. Everything tastes great cooked by a camp fire! Will definitely want to come back for another day in the future.

There was a lot of living room seating and this room can be combined with a room next door for a larger party. The Julian also had a refrigerator and a Keurig with coffee and coffee fixings. A nice touch was that the half-and-half creamer was kept cold in the refrigerator and we were given two bottles of Evian water. I enjoyed a cup of coffee on the beautiful porch in the morning. We were only there for one night, but we were looking forward to the "full hot breakfast," only to be disappointed. While the breakfast spread had a very nice assortment of fresh fruits and pastries, the only hot breakfast item was a lukewarm, spinach quiche, and there was a basket of biscuits. There were also no breakfast items that had meat of any kind. The coffee was very good and what I had of the breakfast offerings I enjoyed, but overall, was disappointed with the lack of hot breakfast items and the lack of a meat option. There was one disappointing aspect about the room, despite its beauty. You'll be able to see from the pictures how beautiful this room was so breakfast issues aside, the beauty and natural lighting alone made this room feel like a retreat. However, we did have trouble flushing the loo in our room and when I messaged management about it, I was told that it was only one year-old and I should just have to "jiggle the handle." So unfortunately, I left feeling a bit frustrated about being gaslit by management about the lavatory issue.
