A gated drive curls back through the trees and opens onto almost two acres of Texas Hill Country, where deer graze the treeline at dusk and the loudest thing around is usually the pool. The Reset Estate sits in Glenlake, a quiet pocket of West Austin between RM 2222 and Lake Austin, and the whole place is built around one idea: give a big group the run of a private compound, then give them somewhere to actually rest.
Inside, the house does not play it safe. Large-scale murals in saturated blue, orange, and green run across arched walls and vaulted ceilings, a spiral staircase turns up through the center of the main floor, and floor-to-ceiling windows pull the tree canopy into nearly every room. Multiple living areas across multiple levels mean the group can pile into one room or scatter into four.
The main kitchen handles a crowd --- deep navy cabinetry, double ovens, a long island with seating, and enough counter space that three cooks are never in each other's way. The dining table seats twelve, and a second kitchen upstairs takes the pressure off breakfast. A beverage bar between the living and dining areas handles coffee refills and snack runs.
Sleeping is split between the main house and a detached casita reached from the driveway, which gives the group real separation when they want it. The primary suite is on the main level with a spa-style bath and freestanding soaking tub; more bedrooms sit upstairs alongside a loft bunk room, and the casita has its own bedroom and living space. Washer and dryer are on site for longer stays.
The game room is where most nights end up: arcade cabinet, foosball, ping pong, an indoor putting green, and a big screen for whatever's on. An attic lounge upstairs works as a quieter overflow spot when the game room gets loud.
Outside is the real draw. The pool anchors the backyard with lounge decks on two sides, and the recovery setup nearby --- hot tub, outdoor sauna, and cold plunge --- turns a lake day or a hard hike into something you actually bounce back from. There's a fire pit for the evening, a BBQ and covered patio for cooking outdoors, and a short walking trail on the property itself if someone wants ten minutes alone.
Under ten minutes down City Park Road, Emma Long Metropolitan Park puts you on Lake Austin with swimming, boat ramps, and shaded picnic grounds, and Ski Shores Cafe is right there for burgers by the water. River Place Nature Trail is a few minutes' drive and has one of the toughest stair climbs in the city. The Pennybacker Bridge overlook, Mount Bonnell, and County Line's lakeside barbecue are all short drives. Downtown Austin --- Zilker Park, South Congress, the live music --- is roughly 25 to 30 minutes when traffic behaves.

There are so many reasons to love Austin and its incredible barbecue is just one. The live music capital of the world, Austin has a thriving art scene and a party culture to match. Its crown jewel, Lake Travis, is lined with lively bars, restaurants, golf, and parks. Spend your days on the lake's crystal clear waters, bar hopping on Sixth Street, and shopping down South Congress Ave. Locals and visitors love to "keep Austin weird," which is reason enough to travel to this quirky city.
