Welcome to Wine on Texas Time, a stone lake house on a quiet no-wake cove on the North Shore of Lake Travis. Terraced lawns step down to your private covered boat dock, and nearly every room looks out over the water toward the white limestone bluffs of Pace Bend and the Balcones Canyonlands.
Paddle the cove by kayak in the morning, drive 5 minutes to Flat Creek Estate for an afternoon wine tasting, then come home to the fire pit, the grill, and the sunset glowing on the cliffs.
