Words and pictures really cannot describe how special this place is. The treehouse, ans our family called it is so cozy and comfortable. Sitting down by the lake at any time of the day is just magical. Shelly is a phenomenal host and person. She worked very hard to get us in on the same day that she had some guest checking out in the morning. I cannot recommend enough staying at this magical, special place!
We really enjoyed our stay! Great location on the water and so many fun things for the kids and adults to do. We had a blast and will definitely be back!
We really enjoyed the stay and it's such a cute and inviting place. We have fun with the volleyball area and having access to the kayaks. What a beautiful location!
We thoroughly enjoyed this cozy spot on the lake. While our visit was short, we felt welcomed and completely at home. Looking forward to a longer stay in the future.
Shelly and Chuck were absolutely amazing! They were so helpful and kind. Their place was cozy and the location next to the lake canât be beat. Our little boys practically lived on the dock, fishing and swimming. We loved all the toys and water gear that were available to us - canât wait to come back and stay again :)
The owners were so kind and laid back. My family of 6 really enjoyed the time away and we saved money bringing the dogs as well. Without a doubt I'd go back again!!
The house was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The loft upstairs is perfect for kids. Owners were friendly and very helpful. Lake was pretty quiet and private.

Lovely place
This is such a lovely place to spend some great relaxing time. The cabin is clean and comfortable and sweetly decorated. Shelly and Chuck were super hosts: friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the time by the water and easy access to town though we barely left the place as it was so nice to be there.
Beautiful cabin, private and cool lake and wonderful owners equals an awesome vacation. Peacepaddles rented us a paddle board so we really got to tour the quiet lake. Chuck and Shelly graciously answered all our questions about the area and gave us all the privacy we needed to enjoy our stay. Can't wait to stay there next year.
We came to celebrate our sonâs 12th birthday. I was a bit apprehensive about renting a property where the owners were also on site, but Shelly and Chuck were amazing! So fun and friendly and made our stay that much more enjoyable. This is definitely a great place for a weekend getaway.
You canât beat the location of this guesthouse. Close to the boat ramp, extra parking for friends. Some of the smoother water on Lake Austin nearby, when the wake boats are not out in mass. Lovely area all around.
I grew up in a dreadfully nondescript area of Illinois (cornfields) but my parents wanted more than anything to live on the water and even though they earned a modest income as teachers they succeeded! In third grade we moved into a lakefront home in Central Illinois and it was THE gathering place for my friends as I grew up. They gave me the gift of prioritizing a water based lifestyle. Chuck and I bought this property when we got engaged in 1988 and our 4 children ages 25 to 12 relish the lifestyle I did as a child.
We fell in love with this ethereal part of Lake Austin and bought our home in 1988. It was 2 BR/1Bath with gold shag carpet and we were in heaven. Have added on to our home many times and we built the guest house in 2004 hoping to lure out of state grandparents. We failed at that but have loved being able to host many travelers, church youth retreat weekends, you name it!
Every piece of furniture hand picked over time from visits to the semi-annual Round Top antique fair except for the custom made cedar dining table with benches. Nothing matches but everything soothes in this eclectic and comfortable home. Want some activity? A sand volleyball court awaits. Or kayak across the lake and hike up to a waterfall.
