Lake Austin Spa Resort

The property was beautiful and relaxing. The service was terrific. We celebrated our wedding anniversary there and enjoyed the experience immensely

What a joy to return again to Lake Austin. There is so much history here and a unique “sense of place.” It is a perfect place to escape by yourself, with friends or a loved one. I can stay busy all day going from activity or class, to gym, water sports, or hammock lounging. Special thanks to Drew and Kara in Water Sports for all the fun on the water. Chef Limon’ went above and beyond with every meal request. Renee’ in the Boutique was super helpful and sweet. Jackie remembered me from a couple years ago. The hiking guides were the best! The employees really have a heart for the guests.

Lake Austin Spa Resort has become my new happy place. I had the best massage I’ve had in at least 15 years. I took yoga, meditation, and a balance/fitness class that left me feeling both centered and energized. I did the cooking demo - this kitchen is gorgeous. One of the unexpected highlights was playing mahjong with Candace. She’s honestly feels like an Olympian-level coach (if mahjong had Olympians!). She prepares people for tournaments and made the game feel fun and challenging. There is the blue room, garden library and other cozy nooks (including the gorgeous and cozy rooms!!) to read, relax and feel so serene. I loved all the little touches — the bowls of gummy bears, the fresh oranges, the lakeside hammocks where I sipped hot chocolate, and the quiet moments kayaking at sunset. These small details made the resort feel magical. The food is out of this world. The steak and mashed potatoes are still living rent-free in my memory. The service was exceptional. Everyone was kind, present, and genuinely caring. I’ve already booked my birthday trip. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

It’s a very quiet place in a very tranquil space. It feels unhurried. The staff are very helpful. The food is excellent. Living quarters have a rustic feel. Many activities to choose from. Spa and hikes are what we chose. But there something for everyone

LASR is my happy place; I have been three times in the last year. Yes, it's a splurge for me, but I return home rested and recharged and ready to face my busy life. Yes, it is great to travel with friends, but I feel very comfortable and welcomed when I am by myself. When traveling solo, I am able to focus on myself, something I need to do more. I don't live near water, so I love a room with a lake view. This trip saw the food back to 5 stars and I enjoyed several new classes (foot stretch and pelvic floor), but I did miss seeing the vegetables in the garden and the garden tour. It's the employees who make this truly an experience. From Nataly and Bianca in the dining room to Dave pushing me during a workout, to Dennis, Renee, and Kristie being everywhere, their attention is what sets this place apart. I have sampled many spa treatments and private experiences, but I return again and again for the Aquatherapy with Monica and Energy Work with Life Coach, Nicole Bills. Many have discussed the Aquatherapy, so I will focus on Nicole. I have seen her now twice, and she has helped me shift my perspective and focus. I usually see her for two hours, but when I return in June (yes, I am already planning), I hope to see her for two hours one day and an hour the next day. I was speaking with a mother-daughter duo (who happened to be at the resort the same time as my last visits!) and they too see Nicole. It's like we were part of a special club discussing how much she has helped us focus and reset. Refocusing energy is difficult, but I am so appreciative of the help and advice Nicole has shared with me. See you all in June!! (Please bring back the yogurt parfait with blueberries and keep that AMAZING caesar salad!!!)
