My husband and I came across North Shore Vacation Rentals as we were planning our Lago Vista…read morewedding held April 2016. We had a large number of guests traveling from out of state to attend, and we struggled with finding accommodations that would fit our needs. We wanted to be able to make a nice recommendation for guests that would be close to the wedding venue and allowed the use of a shuttle service. Many of the nearest hotels were in Cedar Park, which was not as close as we would have liked. After some research, we found North Shore Vacation Rentals which had a large number of rental properties within The Island on Lake Travis. Having so many rentals in one area made shuttle service much easier to plan. From the moment I reached out, Katie and the staff at North Shore were such a pleasure to work with! They really went out of their way to help make my very large room block work smoothly. Katie personally showed us the property and a number of the rentals before we committed, and we were impressed by the shape that many of the condos were in. The Island also offered a few amenities, including access to swimming pools, a spa, outside barbecues & picnic tables and even a bar/restaurant on property (where we hosted our after party following the wedding reception). I am so happy we chose to go this route not only for the convenience factor, but also for the exceptional customer service that was provided. Katie even walked the entire property with me the weekend of our wedding to help me distribute welcome gift bags for our guests. In addition to rentals within The Island, North Shore also offers other rental properties. One very nice house in particular located just a short distance from The Island was rented out by a group of guests as well. Guests had nothing but nice things to say about the business, all of the beautiful lakefront views, and the numerous deer sightings in Lago Vista. If you're looking for a place to stay in the area or just an excuse for a getaway, I would highly recommend considering a rental through North Shore Vacation Rentals!

Our dream venue!! I first fell in love with Woodbine Mansion when I stumbled upon it on Pinterest,…read moreso once I got engaged it was the first venue on my list to tour. After the tour, I just knew that it was where my husband and I had to get married! Leading up to the wedding day, the team at Woodbine was very responsive and easy to work with when I had any questions. The getting ready space is absolutely stunning and it's nice to have a very clear separation of the bride and groom getting ready spaces so we didn't have any accidental run ins with eachother during the day. I loved being able to have distinct areas for each part of our wedding, with the ceremony being held on the front lawn, cocktail hour inside the mansion (although it ended up being a beautiful day outside so our guests opted to be outside), and then the beautiful clear top tent for our reception. We had a blue and white theme to our wedding, which the decor in the mansion perfectly complemented. The tables and chairs that woodbine has included are also great, there was no need to rent additional ones.

My son and daughter-in-law's wedding was absolutely gorgeous. People wondered throughout the bottom portion of the mansion for hors d'oeuvres and cocktail hour then the ceremony took place in front of the mansion outside and then the reception portion took place under a beautiful tent with lights on the side of the mansion. Julie manages the Mansion and she's an absolute pleasure to work with. The photographers that they hired were the best and took the most beautiful photos. The food that they had catered at the Mansion was just absolutely delicious, especially the mushroom empanadas. The DJ was the chief of police and he was very good at DJing - everyone had a great time! These recommendations I've made, I believe came from Julie as well. I highly recommend these ones that I've listed!!!! Thank you for such a beautiful place for our family to enjoy the wedding!

Candlelight Concerts and Swing Club dances are booked regularly here. We were there for a friend's wedding in the Grand Ballroom, which had gorgeous wood floors, sixteen-foot windows and vaulted thirty-foot ceilings. A spacious and light-filled ballroom that comfortably seated us all with room leftover for a buffet station, a DJ and dance floor. The women's restrooms even had a separate area for sitting/reapplying makeup - having all that extra space is rare and feels quite luxurious.

Would I use the location for an event again? Never. Would I use the location for another if there…read morewas a different owner? Maybe. The venue itself would be four stars. However, dealing with the logistics of renting the location easily brought it down to three stars. The venue itself is nice enough, reasonable amount of space for 10 large (8ft) tables for a wedding. About 70 chairs, but not all chairs were used. Small patio outside house is a decent dancefloor (adamant about no DJs though). However, I have reservations about the accessibility of the venue. It was extremely difficult for my elderly relatives to move about the space, and they were unable to enter the house due to the steps. While this is a specific issue, I want to mention it for anyone else that has a wedding that may include grandparents. Logistically, dealing with the owner was pretty close to being a nightmare. While I appreciate side-hustles, the venue is overpriced. The contracting process was frustrating and she was non-responsive several times (she needs to get the contract looked at by a professional, there are still issues in it). While it is not made clear upfront, renting the upstairs costs additional money which is ridiculous considering it was $200/hour. They did not clean up after their dogs in the back yard and we were required to deal with our trash, except there was hardly any room in the trash and recycling cans. Finally, our rental period was supposed to start at 10AM, just around the time the owner put her baby to sleep. Call me heartless, but plan ahead if you renting out your house for close to $2,000 for a single day. The alarm directions were wrong as well, but we figured it out. I hope to never deal with her again, but I still wish her the best of luck. Hopefully she'll gain some experience and get better at this process. Oh yeah, weird topless picture in the guest bathroom downstairs. I would take it down if you have younger kids visiting.

We had our wedding AND reception at Angel Springs - so convenient to have both at the same venue!…read moreIt's beautiful inside and outside. My husband insisted on an outdoor wedding, but luckily the trees provided adequate shade. This was actually our second choice of venue, but only because they didn't have a package deal (we had to find a caterer, florist, etc) and it's kind of remote, so we were worried about guests finding it. The dressing rooms have a back door, so I could sneak out to discuss logistics with my partner behind the scenes without looking unromantic.

Angel Springs may look gorgeous in photos, but our experience was the opposite of professional…read more We booked the venue for October 19, 2025 and paid a $3,400 deposit. On July 3, 2025--well over three months before the date--we informed them in writing that we had to cancel due to personal circumstances and asked to discuss a fair, partial refund since there was still plenty of time to rebook the date. After that message, we never heard from anyone again. No follow-up call, no acknowledgment of the situation--complete silence. Keeping a full $3,400 while refusing to even reply is unacceptable business practice. If you're a couple researching venues, be very cautious. Verify every refund and cancellation term in writing and assume that once Angel Springs has your deposit, you may never hear from them again if things change. The property is beautiful, but the way they treat customers is not.

Mixed Bag. Overall,…read morewe had a good experience. The neighborhood and amenities are very nice. The view from the second-story balcony for Independence Day fireworks is spectacular. The house is comfortable for six to seven adults. Communication was stellar until check-in time. Bill and Vanessa were very good via email and text before our arrival. Bill called us at around 1 pm to welcome us and tell us that "the house is ready". Check-in was at 3 pm. We arrived at 3:20 pm and found the cleaning crew was still there. We had to wait outside until 3:45 pm in 96-degree heat until they were done. Vanessa texted, "We will get you a gift card to the beach club grill for the inconvenience". The next morning, I texted Vanessa asking for an extra parking pass. I never heard back from her or Bill. No gift card. No parking pass. A few minor concerns with the property: nasty stains on the carpeting near the entry, GFCI outlets needing to be reset more than once, only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and a nest of red wasps living under the second-story balcony. Yes, these are minor complaints in a world rife with many bigger issues. However, we were disappointed enough to share these concerns. We would certainly return to this area and neighborhood, but not this property.

The treehouse itself was amazing and it was a dream come true for us as we have both wanted to stay in a treehouse since we were kids! I mean who doesn't have a childhood dream of staying in a treehouse but there's not many opportunities to do so growing up in a city. We had a relaxing 2 days here where we enjoyed the soaking tub, read in the reading nook, laid out on Big Joe, had our morning tea and coffee outside in nature, bird watching and so much more! It was so quiet and its truly just a time for you to connect with nature. The treehouse itself is beautiful, modern and the layout and design is truly thought out to immerse you in nature. You are surrounding by trees whichever glass window you look at. It is so quiet, you feel suspended in the trees! My favorite part of the treehouse which I had figured out the moment I was leaving was that everything you pour into the kitchen sink...goes right to the floor 30 feet down. Water gets poured back into nature below! My hubby was pouring out the tea I did not finish and I just so happened to be standing outside the front door with our luggage when I heard loud water being splashed. I peaked down and saw the tea go straight down. That was the coolest! I had booked this trip way before COVID and due to the pandemic, the zip lining tour was cancelled. But, it's ok as we still had a fantastic time staying here! The price for the Yoki per night is very expensive and I would recommend for the owners to at least provide breakfast every morning. A hand delivered breakfast would be a very nice touch. Shout out to Shelby for keeping me in the loop the whole time and when I needed shower gel & Kleenex she arranged for it to happen. Keep in mind this is nature and there are bugs/insects everywhere. The restroom is a place were they like to hide. We saw spiders, scorpions, grasshopper, centipedes, wasps in there. FYI- there is no body lotion or hair dryer in case those things are important to you, please bring those! Otherwise everything else that a hotel normally has, is provided. We had such a great time and my hubby is so happy and surprised that I booked such a beautiful place to share with him!
