Great year-round activities:
Spring: the wildflowers will be blooming, fish will be spawning (fantastic fishing beginning in late February, early March) and the lakes won't be crowded!
Summer: warm water, fantastic sunsets, lots of water activities (boating, swimming, fishing, kayaking to name a few)
Fall: usually warm temps through November and a great time to be on or around the lake, watch football, golf on one of the many nearby courses
Winter: bring the family together around the holidays, enjoy the many fantastic amenities around the lake including wineries (Perisso's is excellent and only 5-10 minutes away), Enchanted Rock and superb Texas BBQ at Cooper's Open Pit in Llano.
Every season offers something wonderful out at the lake and we invite you to come experience it for yourself!

Great house with fun water activities made for a perfect spot to view the eclipse. We enjoyed the kayaks and SUP. Very comfortable house with everything needed.
This is a great property - everything you need to enjoy the lake. The AC is cold, the beds are comfortable, the outdoor living spaces are amazing, and the home includes everything you will need for a great stay.
We have stayed here in the fall several times and always wish we could stay longer! Great space, just as advertised. Communication with the hosts is easy and timely. Plenty of activities to enjoy on and off the water, depending on the weather and your mood. An overall great retreat!
I cannot say enough good things about this property! Our family was able to rest and rejuvenate in this beautifully appointed lake house. The surroundings were just what we needed and the cove was perfect for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. We can’t wait for our next trip! The owners were wonderful to work with, too.
We had a great time; the property was beautiful and clean and very well stocked. The master bed is extremely comfortable. The cove is as described - very calm. I would not hesitate to tie my boat off to the dock but we rented the slip and that was great too. Communication with owner was great - they were very helpful with a few questions I had about the area. We will definitely be back.
Clean and well stocked with the things you might forget. If not, HEB grocery is nearby. Our teens loved the ping pong and darts; they even walked to Dairy Queen for a treat. We loved the no wake cove for our SUPs and kayaks. House faces south, therefore it is shaded most all day! We hope our schedule allows for trip back in the future!
Lovely property inside and out. Had everything we needed. Clean, comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable.
The ONLY downside is the water is very shallow so the fishing wasn’t great like we’d hoped. And there were more turtles than I have ever seen in one place that kept stealing our bait lol. So much so that we nicknamed it Turtle Cove. But we enjoyed relaxing and playing some ping pong.
This was a lovely home with plenty of amenities to keep 3, active kids happy. They swam, fished, kayaked, paddle boarded, played ping pong & ran around a lovely little yard. The downstairs bunk room was where the kids wanted to sleep. It was a perfect spot for them. The upstairs portion of the house was perfect for us. The living room was well furnished and relaxing. The master bed was comfy. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, pans and utensils. Our week with the grandkids was awesome and we were able to make some wonderful memories. Thank you to the Galyens for sharing their home with us.
Very nice! A definite do-over.
This was the best stocked home we have ever been in. It had extra life vests if needed, beach towels, an extra sleeping bag, excellent kitchen gear—even a hand held mixer. The lounge areas were very nice. Upper and lower decks. We had 2 ping pong players that went at it every evening.
Plenty of seating. No need to bring your own chairs. We loved it.
The only issue was the wifi. It only worked the first night we were there. We kept expecting it to correct itself (we are used to less-than-stellar- Spectrum at home, who’s connection is frequently interrupted, but usually corrects on its own.). We got so used to using our hot spots that we didnt realize we still had no service until day 3 of 5. Made a call to owner, who wanted to come check it, but we didn’t want the intrusion at that point. So he gave us instruction (disconnect the router, . . .), but we just kept on without it. It was no biggie. So we never found out if the usual maneuvers would have worked.
This was our sixth stay at this property during our kids’ fall break. We love the calm cove, the easy access to the water, and the clean, comfy house. Our kids have a blast on the kayaks/SUP, fishing, and playing ping-pong. It is a great retreat!
Great experience and hosts. Would definitely recommend!

Loved the house and extras!
My family really enjoyed our stay, we loved the kayaks and paddle board, the ping pong and foozball table, sleeping set up was perfect- quiet cove close to main water 👍🏻 Good family weekend!
Very peaceful and fun for our extended family, 2 large patios, 2 dinning areas, inside and outside, ping pong, corn hole, we added the kayaks/paddle board and close to pick up groceries.
We enjoyed staying at the house very much. The outdoor spaces were great! The kids played ping pong daily and also enjoyed the kayaks. We rented a boat for 2 days with no problems at all. The marina was very close by. We will definitely visit again!
Had a great timer. Swimming, boating and easy access to stores and food places. House was equipped with all thinks from cooking to activities for families.
