Just featured on CBS's show "STAYCATION!" Enchantment and tranquility embody our Whimsical Lakeside Romantic Retreat property nestled in the hill country on Lake Travis, just outside of Austin, TX. This magical space is the perfect backdrop for a variety of special events, including weddings, corporate retreats, yoga and mindfulness retreats, reunions, birthdays, girl's weekends and bachelorette parties, & many other special occasions. 7 total accommodations starring a Luxury Straw Bale Villa, 3 Eco-Cabins, a Cottage, and 2 Unique Safari Tents. Our main house, 'La Casa de Joy,' is a stunning luxury straw bale villa (once featured on HGTV) that is truly the perfect gathering space for a variety of special occasions and memorable events. Originally built by an artist & healer, her creative intention and style is felt throughout the entire property. Living Waters is blessed with an abundance of nature, including deer, birds, butterflies, crickets, hummingbirds, & more. You may wake up to the deer sleeping just outside your accommodation. Indulge you and your group by taking advantage of our on-site private yoga, massage, personal training, and facial services, and kayak, canoe, and stand-up paddle board rentals. We recommend local activities such as a wine tasting at Stone House Vineyard (walking distance), a swim/picnic at Krause Springs spring-fed pool, or an eco-adventure at Cypress Valley Canopy Tours. This unique property is a tranquil and rejuvenating respite in the hill country on Lake Travis, therefore it's not ideal for loud parties. We love animals, but we are a non-pet-accommodating property due to the abundant wildlife present. We look forward to making memories with you....

Canvas tent · Sleeps 2
Merry & minimalist, with a sprinkle of moxie, the Loveshack is a humble abode for those glampers with an adventurous spirit and love of the outdoors – even outdoor showers. All the basics are covered in this canvas castle, just bring your nature-love, fishing poles, and campfire stories. You're 4 minute walk to an amazing winery, just up the road from Krause Springs spring-fed swimming hole! Our guests enjoy multiple hammocks to relax in, fire pit, gas & charcoal grills, & outdoor yoga pavilion! The Love Shack is our petite minimalist glamping experience – it is about being with nature. It is about sitting under the stars at night – hearing the sounds of nature as you doze off, and when you wake up. It is sitting on the porch in the morning with a cup of coffee, next to someone you love, zoning out to nature. It is sitting with friends around the fire pit at night – under the stars – telling stories and making memories before you retire to your air conditioned room with all the comforts. An air conditioner keeps you cool at night, while the outdoor shower provides an extra perk when hanging on the deck, which comes with curtains to draw for more privacy. A portable private restroom is just a few feet from the deck.

Vacation rental · Sleeps 6
Awe-inspiring with a mystical mojo, La Casa de Joy was designed with exacting intention by an artist and healer who’s paintings can still be found on the enchanted walls of this one-of-a-kind lakefront masterpiece. Drawing on the principles of Vastu and Feng Shui, La Casa de Joy’s pampering pulse brings all who enter into perfect alignment – body, mind, and soul. Recently featured on CBS’s show “Staycation,” La Casa de Joy is our awe-inspiring lakefront 1-bed, 2-bath luxury straw-bale villa on Lake Travis. Drawing on the principles of Vastu and Feng Shui, this masterpiece of a home was designed with exacting intention, and the mystical vibe is felt in every little thoughtful detail. La Casa de Joy was also once featured on HGTV’s Straw with Style, Designing Texas, and was the cover feature for Natural Home Magazine. Upon entering the ground’s front entrance, you are met with an expansive view of the entire property, sounds of the zen koi pond, and a glimpse and faint smell of the organic herb and vegetable garden. Walk through antique door and soaring entry way into the downstairs main living area showcasing 30 ft. ceilings and a towering cornerstone fireplace, sunken seated coffee/sitting lounge, & fully equipped chef’s kitchen. Upstairs you’ll find a stunning large master bedroom with king size bed, a cozy study, master bath with dual sided fireplace (take a bath by the fire!), and a spiral staircase leading to the 3rd floor meditation room & viewing tower. You’ll be naturally drawn through the back doors and on to the delightful covered porch with a fireplace, porch swing, sound of the wind chimes, gorgeous views of the lake and epic sunsets, and the palpable feeling of being immersed in nature. PERFECT FOR: Couples ✷ Digital Nomads ✷ Best Friends Adventure-Seekers ✷ Personal Retreats Enjoy additional amenities such as ON-SITE massage, yoga, kayak, stand-up paddle board and canoe rentals, private personal training, swimming, sunset views, walking trails, multiple decks, and the soothing sounds & sights of nature.
