Offering a serene spot directly on Lake LBJ, this home lets you swim, fish, and kayak off a private dock on a quiet no-wake cove. Two adult kayaks, two kid kayaks, and two stand-up paddleboards are provided. You can paddle to the main lake in less than five minutes. The water in front of your vacation home is deep enough to support boats of any size, including wakeboard and wake surf boats. The private boat ramp in the neighborhood is ideal for launching your boat. Lake LBJ is a constant-level lake, which is always full and does not change due to drought.

The gorgeously updated interior is perfect for groups and features a spacious great room and gourmet kitchen. Make yourself at home in the lake-view great room, highlighted by soaring cathedral ceilings and ample natural light. Unwind on stylish furnishings and stream your favorite shows on the 55" smart TV. Channel your inner chef in the sleek kitchen with a full suite of stainless steel appliances. Enjoy appetizers at the kitchen bar, then sit down to home-cooked meals at the dining table.

The primary bedroom has a lake view, while a guest bedroom holds a 32" smart TV. The adjacent bathroom has a sparkling walk-in shower and a full-sized washer and dryer. Another bedroom is a loft with an en suite half bath.

We just returned home from a fabulous week at the Secret Cabin. The house was adorable and exactly like the pictures. The neighborhood was quiet and the paddle boards and kayaks were a fun way to cool down on a hot day. Fishing off the dock was fun for our kids. We enjoyed lots of time on the screened in porch people watching, relaxing, preparing for fishing and playing Rummikub. There were several games available (Rummikub, Uno, Sequence). The kitchen had all the basics (including a crock pot, plenty of dishes, silverware, some basic spices) and the grill was handy. The igniter didn’t work, but we bought (& left) a lighter and that solved the problem. We enjoyed a few close stops including Longhorn Caverns State Park, Cadillac Dance Hall (kids were able to come and the band was great) and amazing Texas BBQ at Smokehouse 44 in Marble Falls (do NOT miss that brisket!). Parking under the house was convenient and helped the car stay cool in the summer heat. We had 6 people and had plenty of space. I would recommend bringing a few trash bags and dishwasher soap if you plan to stay more than a couple of days. We would absolutely recommend staying here and will certainly check it out again if we are ever in the area.

The house was clean and accommodating. The enclosed porch is a great asset to this home and a great place to sit and enjoy the lake view. Very peaceful place to get away and relax with family and friends.
