About this house rental
Due to the central Texas drought, the lake has receded and is no longer in front of the home. Guests can walk to the lake shore (~100 yds) or travel the 12 miles to Inks Lake or Lake LBJ which are constant-level lakes.
This gorgeous two-level home is loaded with superb amenities, including a kayak, deck, firepit, patio with a gas grill, and even central air-conditioning for hot-weather guests. This oasis of a home is the perfect place to truly disconnect from the world as it does not have internet. Downstairs, the spacious living area boasts high, vaulted ceilings, burnished floors, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake and countryside, and a large TV to enjoy your favorite DVD movies and Nintendo 64 games. Spend the day at the beach, then come home to get creative in the full kitchen - just shop for your ingredients to take advantage of the kitchen's cookware, appliances, and expansive countertops to turn out tonight's masterpiece. You and the kids will love baking cookies in the double oven! The washer/dryer will take care of those dirty hiking clothes, so you can afford to pack light for your trip.
Enjoy alfresco meals out on the backyard patio while the little ones romp around. You'll find two bedrooms downstairs, the main with access to the deck and an en suite bathroom, and the second bedroom with a small en suite bath of its own. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious sitting area just off the stairs, with a comfy sofa perfect for catching up on your latest novel. The first bedroom has a small reading nook by the window, while the second features a trundle bed, a bunk, an en suite bathroom, and a nook
This home enjoys a perfect location right on the banks of Lake Buchanan, the largest of the Highland lakes and the farthest from Austin, making it the least crowded. Take the boat out to go fishing, swim off the shores, or explore the area with a good hike. Lake LBJ is also nearby and is a constant-level lake. You'll have plenty of great restaurants nearby whenever you need a cooking break. Inks Lake State Park is only 13 miles south, with many terrific outdoor activities, like golfing, hiking, and exploring the granite hills.

Absolutely loved this property! So peaceful along the lake. Beautiful views and so much fun!
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
Great spot on the lake. Tons of space. We met up with friends and there was room for kids and parents to spread out and have time together. It was an excellent getaway in the country with reasonable access to groceries (DG Market 6 minutes away, HEB in Kingsland about 15) and nice distance from Colorado Bend State Park (our motivation for this location). The decorations are like one of those kid magazine pictures where you need to find all the hidden items, but here you need to count the various Texas images. Here are my counts (not all exclusive):Lone Stars - 380Texas Flags - 28 (did not count these as lone stars)Texas Outlines - 26Cow heads - 22 (only one real skull, no taxidermy)Bluebonnet pics or paintings - 10Cowboy images - 8Furniture pieces with cowhide - 7

Nice Property, quite location. Lots of room inside and out, great view of the lake , cool sunrises. It was very pet friendly ( if you have a pet) I would not hesitate to book this home again.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2025
Advertising was misleading. No hot tub or BBQ grill able to be used, broken beds upstairs, needs a very deep cleaning & painting with carpet cleaning. Items list in fridge was in question as if were charged for cleaning why would it be our responsibility to take bedding down, take garbage out to the curb, run dishwasher. What does cleaning pay for. Animal crackers food toys under the furniture. So there’s your dignity not being well cleaned Pet stains on the carpet in LR. Floors had not been mopped prior to our stay. Was a nice place I’m sure but definitely shows lack of attention for a high price.
