About this cabin rental

Seahorse Cove

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Drop a fishing line in Lake Buchanan off the shore or sunbathe on the beach to bask in the slow pace of life here at Seahorse Cove. This spacious property sits right on one of Texas's best bass fishing lakes, also stocked with catfish and gar. Tie off your boat on-site in the cove or slide a rented kayak into the water from the sandy stretch of beach. If you're up for some cliff jumping, you can explore Inks Lake State Park about nine miles to the south. There are several nearby wineries and the Vanishing Texas River Cruise is definitely worth checking out. A convenience store and Buchanan General Store are nearby and Burnet is only 15 minutes away if you want to visit Fort Croghan Historic Museum, the Hill Country Motorheads Museum, or buy groceries.

Originally a Texas Ranger's bunkhouse, this beautiful 1930s home retains all its original vintage charm from a location atop a cove shaped like a horse’s head. Take in the calming lake views and gorgeous sunsets as you let your worries slip away. The full kitchen, along with the stone fireplace and large windows, gives you plenty of space to spread out, while the cozy cabin makes a perfect spot for kicking back after a long day in the sunshine. Connect to the free WiFi to post photos of your big catch, treat your friends to a BBQ using the gas grill, or step back outside to build a fire in the firepit. Depending on what time of the year you're here, you'll behold beautiful wildflowers, various trees, and other flora, along with deer, foxes, owls, American pelicans, and more.

End your days gazing at the spectacular night skies and relaxing in your own secluded oasis.

10 Year AnniversaryWonderful, beautiful, Pictures description very accurate. We went a couple weeks after the terrible Texas Hill Co. Flooding, the road leading to cottage was flooded, we did not want to chance the depth of it. went off road to reach Cabin, Not sure if the flooding washed out fishing dock and beach access. No bebree on shore line of property, the lake view was spot on gorgeous. There is a empty empty cabin in middle of lake would love to hear the story behind. The wild life was very apparent, only wish we would of brought Deer feed. Cooking - If you like non tack pans, bring your own, spices was provided, Bed was comfy, nice touch to bathroom add on floor. The only thing was ALOT of cob webs around all window and doors. There is 2 window around bed that I used the vacuumed that was provided at cabin. Such a beautiful view from cottage windows had a lot of bug smudges. My husband and I would Love to return to take advantage of beach and dock access. Strongly recommend this beauty.

Absolutely beautiful spot on the lake. Cute little stay for 2. The only complaint I have is the code given via email to enter the house was not correct. We had to call for a proper one. As well as, their were spider webs all throughout the house and sticky pest traps throughout the place. One had a dead mouse stuck to it, which stunk behind the tv stand. I understand the need for pest control but theses should be more discrete and changed before guest arrive.
