The Famous FloatHouse

You'll love this place...everybody does!

What makes it fun

Everybody loves the Float House. Part House Boat - Part Lake House - with the best of both worlds (water & land). It's a full-size house that floats on the water. Tabletop shuffleboard and pool table in addition to underwater fishing lights and a rope swing are just some of the attractions at this phenomenal vacation rental on Lake Travis!

This place is awesome. You can tell how much love was put into this place when it was built... so much character here. Many props to the owners.

Words cannot do this place justice. If you've found it you need to rent it.

We have been going to the Float House now for over 5 years, usually several times a year. We just returned from an incredibly fun 2023 Memorial Day weekend there with 5 friends and our dog. Despite the historically low water levels, we could not have had a better time, as always. The owners have gone to incredible lengths to ensure that The Famous Float House continues to deliver on its reputation as one of the most fun, uniquely situated, spots on all of Lake Travis for all ages. And like we always do, we were totally able to rent a Tri-toon boat from a local marina and motor it into the canal where the Float House is located and then use the awesome motorized dingy the Float House owners provide to run people and coolers out to the Tri-toon for then our usual amazing afternoon on Lake Travis. The whole thing was a breeze. And the new little motorized dingy is so much fun to have at the Float House to cruise around in and fish from. Anyhow, it could not have been a better, more fun weekend and we can't wait to go back later this season.

Really enjoyed hiking on this trail. The creek was more an arroyo in early September. During the winter and rainy season I can see it more filled. Wasn't to crowded early but trail had lots more people as day went on. No real parking lot near MoPac trailhead.

Our MN crew had a great time at the float house. We hope to return in the future. The rope swing was a blast and easy to use. They have floaties to use there. Extra deck chairs. Shuffle board and pool table inside. Prepare for the stairs leading down to the house! Lugging our heavy suitcases was doable but not a pretty sight. The water was blue and beautiful. We were there mid-October. Everything was clearly labeled and fun to read. Charming and a hidden gem. We just loved it.

12 of my buds and I just spent the weekend here. It was a blast. We spent all of our time just hanging on the back patio and looking out over the lake. The shuffleboard and pool table were great to have inside. Every one of us made sure to go off the rope swing. I'm so sore! We would definitely go back.

We stayed for the weekend at this place and just can't say enough good things about it. Rick and Ann (the owners) are great. They were very welcoming, informative and getting a hold of them was never an issue.Now as far as the place goes, wow! These guys really thought of everything...no seriously, everything! Plenty of stuff to do inside and out. The rope swing was a hit and we really enjoyed sitting on the patio at night in front of the bonfire pit. We also had a great time fishing and we did pretty good catching catfish, striped bass, perch and even a largemouth.Another afternoon we rented a captain/boat from 3 Amigos Boat Rental which was very close by. They picked us up at the house right off the patio and took us to some nearby bars on the lake. The rental property was clean and scenery all around you was gorgeous. The rooms are filled with windows so being able to wake up and immediately have a panoramic view of the lake and green hills around you was just awesome.Overall just a good experience and a memory we wont forget. We are already planning our next trip here.
