About this house rental

Located on a protected cove on beautiful Lake Buchanan, this lakefront home is the perfect place to relax, fish, swim, boat, or simply enjoy the view. The property includes a private boat dock with a boat lift, making it easy to spend your days on the water.

The upstairs deck offers sweeping views of the lake and the lights of Buchanan Dam after sunset. Downstairs, a covered patio with a gas grill provides the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee as the sun rises over the water. Mature oak, pecan, and peach trees provide plenty of shade throughout the property.

A Classic Texas Lake House

This home was originally built as a traditional weekend lake house rather than a full-time residence. Think of the classic fishing cabins and cottages of years past—with screen doors that make that familiar "lake house" sound when they close. We've preserved much of that original charm while providing the comforts guests expect today.

Please Read Before Booking - Unique Floor Plan

One of the things that makes this property unique is its floor plan. Please review the photos and this description carefully before booking.

The home has no interior staircase connecting the two levels. The upstairs and downstairs are connected only by an exterior staircase.

Upstairs you'll find:

Living room
Kitchen and dining area
King bedroom
Bedroom with two twin beds
Shared full bathroom
Main deck overlooking the lake

Downstairs you'll find:

Recreation room
Bedroom with one queen bed and twin bunk beds
Private full bathroom
Covered patio with gas grill

To move between floors, guests must go outside, use the exterior staircase, and enter through a separate exterior door.

This layout works exceptionally well for:

Two couples traveling together
Families with teenagers or young adults
Multi-generational groups wanting extra privacy
Guests who appreciate having a separate downstairs suite

However, it may not be the best fit for families with several young children who would need to sleep downstairs while parents sleep upstairs. Because there is no interior access between floors, parents would need to go outside and use the exterior stairs to reach the downstairs bedroom during the night.

We simply encourage guests to consider how members of their group will be assigned to each bedroom before booking. Most of our guests love the unique privacy this design provides, but we want every guest to be confident the layout fits their family's needs before they arrive.

Sleeping Arrangements

Upstairs

Bedroom 1: King bed
Bedroom 2: Two twin beds
Shared full bathroom

Downstairs

Bedroom 3: Queen bed plus twin bunk beds
Private full bathroom
Separate recreation room
Separate air conditioning system

The downstairs bedroom functions almost like a private guest suite, making it ideal for a second couple, grandparents, or older children who appreciate having their own space.

No pets allowed. No smoking anywhere on the property.

This property is great and the hosts are the sweetest! Great place, beautiful accommodations. They made it so wonderful, and went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful time. If it is open - book it. You won’t regret it.
