“Location, ammenities, comfort!” Laura's helpful, friendly manner made us feel welcome even before we arrive. Her beautiful home is centrally located with tons of room for everyone to spread out and relax. The beds were very comfortable, so we all got a good night's sleep which is a must for me with my bad back. The living room is spacious and open with a two story ceiling and lots of comfortable seating. I particularly enjoyed the clean, well equipped kitchen. With a small grocery just a convenient walk away, we were able to easily relax and "eat in" for a few meals and the back patio was perfect for conversation and drinks after dinner. We also enjoyed a long walk though the trees in Pease Park which is just a couple of blocks away. More ambitious souls jogged or biked but it was so pretty and peaceful we just took our time. An austin treasure tucked away on a quiet street just minutes from downtown and the UT campus, this is definitely a 5 star rental. We plan to rebook this gem next time we come to town for UT football games!

“Paradise found at The Cozy Cottage on Lake Travis!!!” Speaking for our entire family, I want to thank you for an amazing four day vacation/experience. Upon arriving at Living Waters, we were immediately drawn into the peaceful, inspirational environment that encompasses the "compound". "The Cottage" was perfect for the seven of us. After we arrived, we sat out on the back porch to admire our surroundings. Bethany arrived to give us some wonderful advice as to what to see and do in and around Spicewood. Her charm and enthusiasm immediately got us all excited about our next few days of activities. Our next activities were from Bethany and Travis's recommendations: visits to the Stone House and Spicewood Wineries and swimming at Krause Springs. I saved the best recommendation for last: The Friday night Tomato Happy Hour with Kathleen. We met so many wonderful "regulars" as well as the other two couples who were staying at Living Waters. It was a memorable experience. Kathleen is an amazing person. After I read her little book that was upstairs in the cottage, I couldn't wait to talk with her. She bonded instantly with our family and the children were taken in by her warmth and friendliness. Little Haynie hadn't come home by the time we left so Kathleen invited us to come back the next morning, bright and early, so that we could meet him. We set our alarms for 6:30 am and we were not disappointed. My grandson Evan (age 10) said that petting a deer was one of the most wonderful experiences he's ever had. We all decided that we wanted to have a pet deer of our own!!! Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to experience life in that little corner of heaven called Living Waters.

“A heavenly little retreat in paradise” Bethany and her husband have the perfect set-up in Lake Travis. A snuggly little cabin tucked away in the middle of nowhere is the ultimate mode of relaxation. It immediately felt like home and a vacation at the same time. Not only are they passionate about finding quality beauty in everyday things, but they also have the most wonderful story of following their passions. Please go, give it a try, and unwind! :)

“Very clean with a lot of room” We enjoyed our stay. Everything was there that we needed. High clawed tub may not be good for the elderly is the only negative we could see.

“Home away from home” The appartment was very clean upon arrival and everything was exactly as presented on this website. The rooms were very spacious, the kitchen fully equipped and the walk-in closit was huge. We felt right at home in no time. The location is absolutely perfect for exploring Austin and surroundings. There is a bus stop right around the corner, which will get you to the university and downtown Austin in only 15 minutes. A supermarket, bakery with delicious cookies and several restaurants are within a short walk.

“Cozy, Clean and in a Great Location” Perfect suite for my wife and I at a great price. Everything we needed backed up by professional service from Pete. We would highly recommend to anyone visiting Austin. Thanks again!

“Living Waters in Spicewood TX” My girl friends and I booked the funky Blue Loft with the ladies weekend package upgrade for a quiet and relaxing bachelorette weekend. Everything exceeded our expectations! The wine tasting was wonderful, and both the massage and yoga classes were amazing. We also were very impressed with the effort Todd took to making sure everything was perfect for us. We will be coming back in the future!

“Personal Yoga Retreat” I booked a personal Yoga treat at Living Waters for my birthday to get away, de-stress, rest, and better my yoga practice. My stay at Living Waters far surpassed my expectations! The Romantic Red Room Eco-Cabin, was comfortable and quaint with modern amenities. I loved the natural light coming in and the ability to leave all the doors open to enjoy the ambiance of the hill country. Bethany, my yoga instructor was amazing!!! She catered my sessions to what I was specifically seeking to further my practice. I also received two Thai massages. . .Amazing! So beneficial for the body and just complimented what I was already receiving through my daily yoga practice. When walking the grounds you almost feel like you aren't in Texas, and the property is very close to many great local attractions. I highly recommend Living Waters and will definitely return myself!

“Great house!” Three large beds, lots of clean towels and all necessary stuff in the kitchen. We stayed here for a week during SXSW and enjoyed very much our stay here.

“Wonderful spot in Austin!” I stayed at this rental in Hyde Park for two weeks in September. It met my expectations and more. The rental was quiet, and well kept. In fact it was spotless inside! The kitchen was basically equipped but I had the essentials for making my own meals. The neighborhood is great and I would go for walks each day in the neighborhood meeting lots of friendly Austinites! Pete is a fantastic property manager and replied very quickly to any concerns I had. This is a great place to stay that is just out of downtown yet close to several restaurants and grocery stores. Also near bus routes if you don't have a car. Loved it. I will be back!

“Perfect tranquility in the hills” It's easy to overlook great places like this - but this one offers great hospitality from the owners as well as a great location that was every bit as peaceful as it is beautiful. Myself and the other guests were impressed from the start with the cabin, from the homeliness of the interior to the thoughtful small details such as the provided iPod speaker dock, a set of movies, and reading materials. It's clear the owners take pride in the place, and are enthusiastic to share it with others. Pictures do not do this cabin justice, if you are looking for a place in the hills west of Austin, look no further!
