Austin is close enough that you can leave after work and be watching the sun go down over Lake LBJ before dinner.
Every suite here has a private deck, a proper bed, and no neighbours in view. Couples come for one night and rebook before they leave.
It is the kind of place where the phone stays in the drawer — not because there is no signal, but because there is finally something better to look at.
“Best date night ever.”
Check in, drop bags, and get outside while the light is still doing its thing.
Takeaway from town or catering arranged by us. No reservation, no rush.
Genuinely dark skies. Telescopes in some suites, a wide view in all of them.
Coffee outside, sunrise over the lake, nowhere to be.
“There are no words that can explain this experience. The views were out of this world! The stardome room was elite to match the amenities. Overall 10 out 10 would recommend! You won’t regret it — it’s worth every penny!”
“I am so happy I found this place! It was just so beautiful and relaxing! I will be back for a girls night stay since they are loving the videos I am sending! Thank you so much for your hospitality and being available for any questions I had!”
“We needed a place to disconnect ourself from the routine, but found a gem where to reconnect our marriage!! Such a beautiful, romantic and cozy place!! We stayed at the Bayview Cliff House and of course we will come back!!”
