Truly unique, one-of-kind, Artsy & Luxurious! Lake Travis retreat for two!
About this cottage rental
COVID 19 CONSIDERATIONS. We are committed to the highest standard of cleanliness and disinfecting procedures. Disinfecting solution will be available in the cottage. We have remote check in. The cottage is cleaned only by the owner and/or one trusted friend. We do not use an outside cleaning service. We are confident that our cottage will be a worry free and restful retreat from all that is going on in the world at large. My goal is to make you feel like you have been to a five star hotel! It is an honor to serve you! The Aloha Cottage sits high on a corner lot on a little over two acres, on a dead end, across the street from Lake Travis. Approximately half of the property is wooded and the remaining half is an expansive front yard with numerous, gorgeous Live Oaks. (There is one tree on the property that is estimated to be 300 years old. It's a beauty!!) It is peaceful and abounding with Mother Nature. And, we feed the birds so there are always many, many to enjoy watching! All of this, yet still 15-30 minutes from numerous restaurants, shops and some great Spicewood nightlife. While we are across the street from the lake, we do not have a lake view. Just down the street, a short 5 minute walk, is a private homeowner's park with a boat ramp, day dock, picnic tables and just about the best lake shore access this side of Lake Travis! The shoreline is a series of rock ledges, allowing for a refreshing plunge off the edge, as if jumping into a pool. No squishy, muddy lake bottom! (Sadly, like everywhere on Travis, we do have Zebra Mussels. Bring water shoes.) The ledges also allow for shallow water lounging for those who aren't swimmers. It is truly an incredible park, that on many days, you can enjoy all to yourself! (Note: Lake Travis is a variable level lake. If the lake is low, you will need to be quite skilled if you plan to launch a boat from our home owner's park ramp. It takes about a 60 degree turn with a drop off on the outside of the curve. Only one turn, then it straightens back out again. See pictures for a visual. When the lake is higher, that curve is under water, making the launch of your boat straight forward.) The Aloha Cottage is a detached guest cottage, tucked around back of the main house and has its own driveway and completely private entrance. Step across the checkered limestone patio and into a room with three large windows facing the spacious front yard. The yard is fenced on one side and has a huge Jasmine hedge along the entire front, creating a private oasis. (Sadly...our Jasmine took a hit in The Freeze. It's coming back quickly but it is not yet the huge privacy hedge it was.) Newly built and beautifully designed in 2017, the cottage is fresh, bright and clean. The whites, sandy beiges and multiple tones of turquoise create a welcoming and relaxing retreat. The Aloha Cottage has a spa quality, GORGEOUS bathroom. This seriously can not be overstated! If you are a "bath" person, look no farther. It has a custom colored, claw foot soaking tub with a chrome "Telephone" faucet set. There is a large glass enclosed shower, a huge, vintage-style pedestal sink and a separate toilet room behind a sliding repurposed old door. One wall of the bathroom is clad in upcycled pallet wood adding a touch of warmth. It is stocked with a variety of soaking salts for your pleasure. Begin your stay by melting away stress with a good hot soak! The bedroom features a Saatva Organic Queen bed with luxury 100% cotton Percale bedding; your choice of feather or Allerease pillows, down comforter and plenty of throws pillows to sit back and relax on. There's a comfy armchair that's big enough to snuggle into. In the same room is a simple "kitchenette" featuring a table for two under a bright, sunny window, a Keurig, apartment size small fridge, microwave and a hutch stocked with some utensils and glassware. Outside is a new gas grill with a side burner. In the grill are utensils, a veggies basket and a small fry pan. (With prior arrangements, we can set up an outside wash station if you like to cook in and are OK with a bit of a rustic set up: hot water from a hose, wash basin, towels, etc.) Everything you need for a comfortable and lovely stay. Throughout the cottage, vintage, repurposed and upcycled materials have been used, making this artistic retreat truly unique, warm and very inviting. I look forward to being your host!

Beth and Gary's cottage is clean, cozy, and comfortable. It is nicely decorated and has just about everything you'll need, except the kitchen sink. :) It features a huge bathroom with a nice sized shower and claw foot bathtub. We really enjoyed our quiet weekend in Spicewood. Thanks Wilsons!

Everything was available for relaxing, enjoyable and peaceful getaway. Walking/ driving distance to beautiful lake view also Beth & Gary have great suggestions of restaurants and places to go. The place was cozy and beautifully decorated with books, plants and essential oils for a relaxing bath. If you love waking up to bird watching and being visited by a couple of friendly hens, this is the place to be. 🥰

My partner and I stayed here a weekend and we had such an amazing time! The cabin was beautiful and so neatly kept. I especially loved the bath tub! The best part about it was how close we were to the lake. If you live in a big city (like i do) and are looking to get away for a weekend, I definitely recommend staying here!

This is a cute place and surprisingly private for being so close to the owner’s house. A soak in the tub is a must. Very relaxing.

We loved staying at the Aloha Cottage. It was a perfect place to unwind, relax & just a few steps away from the lake! Beth & Gary really thought of every detail, from the essential oils to the bottle of wine! The tub was incredible, I can't wait for my next stay!

Fantastic Bathroom with Amenities
Comfortable cottage with beautiful bathroom. We enjoyed the lake access and pier. The lake is a bit of a walk if you are carrying a cooler otherwise it’s a nice walk and you’ll see some deer in the way. The owners were thoughtful with having cold water and ice on hand as well as the nice fresh flowers, wine and other little goodies. Communication before our stay was a bit slow but once we got there communication was better. This was a nice cottage.

Incredible getaway
My wife and I absolutely loved this property. The location is secluded within walking distance of the lake in a great community and comes with everything you could ask for. Incredibly comfortable and beautifully decorated. It takes a while to get there from the main road, but once you are there you will feel like you can truly relax and forget the world for a few days. We would love to visit again soon

All I can say it we were stuck in our cottage due to heavy snow and cold weather (in TX!) for the entire vacation and loved it. Gary and Beth were wonderful. Thank You.

It was wonderful to come out in the morning for breakfast and see all the different birds. Humming birds on the feeder too. Its a short walk to park and water. The place is super cozy with antique interior design that is super cute. We visited some wineries right down the road and they had stunning views. If we had any questions they were quick to respond. Excellent vacation.

Nice stay
Beautiful area and the private neighborhood park was nice. We were mostly rained in but enjoyed the surrounding amenities. Call the places you want to go to first as some were closed due to COVID, even though Google maps says they were open.

This is the perfect, cozy cottage getaway if you like quiet and nature. It was the breather we needed from our every day routine. Comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the lake and nearly had it to ourselves. The owners specialize in hospitality and provide finishing touches that make you feel like you are staying at a friend's house rather than a vacation rental. I highly recommend.

Aloha Cottage fits the listed description--very clean, artsy and peaceful surroundings. Gary and Beth were very gracious, and made sure we had everything needed to make our stay the best it could be! The lake is gorgeous--almost "glass like" and we witnessed breath-taking sunrises.... And yes, the clawfoot bathtub--with the assortment of Essential oils and bath salts--was the perfect relaxing end to each day! We enjoyed our visit, and it was the perfect introduction for us to Hill Country!

We saw all of the”awesome” reviews and could not wait to get there. The windy roads n turns made me sick but was beautiful until we got to the property. There were 4 buildings, the owners house with the cottage attached. There was virtually no parking for our Jetski. The cottage itself was very nice but the owners had contractors working on their house so there was loud Mexican music and hammering. The outside view of the cottage was a fence .. yes a fence. The back door had plastic over it because of the workers. There was no covering /blinds on the front door so I felt no privacy. They told us the park was across the street n the private boat ramp was down the road. The “so called park” was a 5 minute walk with 2 picnic tables and the boat ramp was a rock slate with a sharp turn. If we had used it, we would have fallen into the lake!! They also failed to tell us that the lake was low. All n all very disappointed and we left a day early. We won’t be coming back. If possible would like some reimbursement of stay and cleaning fee.
