We absolutely loved our stay here - I cannot recommend it enough! The property was VERY clean and comfortable - the wall of windows is so beautiful. The main reasons I chose this property were all the "extras" (all the activities available) & the ability to bring our pups. We paddled on the kayaks and paddle board, played cornhole, ping pong, darts & "big" Connect 4 on the lower level, plus more games upstairs. The little outside pen for pups is so handy! The host was incredibly responsive before and during our stay, most always hearing back within just a few minutes. I could not have asked for a better property to enjoy our family getaway! Thank you so much!

Our family loved our multi-generational stay at “Better Lake Than Never!” Everyone from seniors down to our 7yo felt right at home and enjoyed the bright & spacious home plus the fun outdoor space. The house was clean and decorated beautifully with comfortable furnishings. Having the kitchen/dining/living rooms for family time together was a blessing. The outdoor games (darts, Connect 4, corn hole) & kayaks (with life jackets) elevated the experience. The owner was very responsive and helpful anytime we reached out with questions or concerns. We definitely recommend this location and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Our experoence here was fantastic! Would highly recommend if you have kids. The home layout was perfect for the kids to go to the bottom outdoor level to play games, and to take the noise out of the house. Ed, the owner, was super communicative and great to have your back when any storms came in. Access to kayaks to go from their inlet, to the river, and to the lake were easy to use. The home is well furnished and well stocked. Information is readily availabke from their Welcome Binder. We found it easy to get out of their riverside neoghborhood to stores, restaurarants, boat rental locations, caves, etc.If you're looking for a quiet place tucked away in the Hill Country, then this is it!
