Welcome to the heart of Hill Country in this lovely home, nestled into a bend on Lake Lyndon B. Johnson. This gorgeous, secluded spot is about an hour and a half from Austin and surrounded by state parks, wineries, hiking, biking, fishing, and boating opportunities - but with so much to keep you busy at home, no one will blame you if you don’t make it far.
You’ll find multiple places to gather outside, including the cozy seating area on the expansive waterfront deck, perfect for morning coffee. A friendly game of Ping-Pong or cornhole may be in order. Grab one of the five kayaks available for your use and explore by water - this area of the lake is very shallow and sandy - perfect for kayaking, swimming, and standup paddleboarding as boats rarely travel nearby. Children can also stand up in most areas but note that the dock can only be reached by shallow-water boats like bay fishing boats or skiffs. In the evening, fire up the gas grill on the deck and dine alfresco at the large patio table. When night falls, gather at the waterfront fire pit to roast marshmallows and trade stories about the day.
Inside you’ll find spaces just as charming. The wide-open living area is fully updated and features lots of characterful country touches – anyone up for a game of darts or a strum on the guitars? The well-equipped kitchen features a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a double oven and a wine fridge – perfect for stashing a bottle after a vineyard visit. The whole gang can eat together at the large dining room table, or grab a barstool to keep mealtime casual.
When it’s time to settle in for the night, all first-floor TVs are streaming-capable and have DirecTV, including TVs in each of the bedrooms. The game room TV is streaming-capable as well. Even more entertainment options include free high-speed WiFi and a game room downstairs everyone will love, featuring another Ping-Pong table, foosball, and board games. With so many attractions in the surrounding area - and at home - the only question left is how many extra days you’ll book.

Great property
The Lakefront lodge property is very well maintained and has awesome amenities. The private beach was perfect for hanging out by the water. We will definitely be staying here again.

Our stay was awesome. Relaxing in the river water definitely helped with the heat!
What a great place to relax, puzzle, play games, kayak, rent a pontoon boat, cook and eat. We will definitely be back. Lots of room. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Loved sunsets at the fire pit . Fantastic kitchen.
Comfy bedrooms and bathrooms. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy a few days with great friends.
Very nice property. Good beach area for the children abd shallow water. Our grandson loved learning to kayak.
Ping pong, foos ball, and corn hole were an added plus!
Nice house and outdoor decks!

Great getaway for the family.
We had 5 adults and 2 toddlers. This was perfect and the view of the river was great to end the day and start the day. House is stocked with basic spices and plenty of kitchen/grill items.
Beds comfortable. I liked that it didn't have a scented air products... just clean and enjoyable.

Great family lake/river
This house was perfect for anyone with kids wanting the lake vibe. Plenty of kayaks and paddle boards for everyone, plus the water isn’t too deep so it keeps fast boats away and feels safe for kids. House was a perfect size and had all the appliances we could need
Everything was just as pictured and described. This property is perfect for a large family. There is plenty of space in the bedrooms, living areas and the outdoor spaces are wonderful. The kitchens and bathrooms were well stocked with the general necessities. A great place to reunite, recharge, and relax.

Waterfront home with 4 bedrooms & 3 baths
Roomy house with lots of amenities. Plenty of space for 6 adults & 1 child. Unfortunately water quality of Lake LBJ was not great & there were ants in grass & sand down by the water.
We loved the property, very spacious and accommodating for our group. House was well stocked with the things you would need. The local HEB had a great selection of food as we ate in most of the time. The deer, geese and ducks were a daily site which was nice for the kids as well as the adults. Was very peaceful and we truly enjoyed kayaking the river.
We celebrated my parents' 50th anniversary with a small family getaway and the house was perfect. It's very spacious and clean. The kitchen is roomy and well-stocked for cooking. The kids loved the game room and all the games around the house. We enjoyed the little beach area and the yard. Unfortunately, we were there in late August so it was a bit too hot to spend much time outside after noon, but we were very close to a boat rental company in Kingsland and rented a boat one afternoon. Also, the rooms don't have ceiling fans so it can get a little warm in the rooms at night. However, the AC works really well. Overall, it was a fantastic house and made for a perfect trip!

Beware of bugs.
I'll start with what we loved about the house: Loved the layout of the home, plenty of space for everyone, loved all the games (yard games and game room), kitchen was fully stocked for cooking, and beautiful sunset views. Now the cons: It was clear no one had been there in quite awhile because although the floors, countertops, bedding was all clean there were tons of cobweb and spiders webs in the corners of each room, rat droppings in the corners of the showers, and we had to kill multiple roaches. We were supposed to stay 2 nights but didn't feel comfortable staying our second night since we had young children.

Great location, home needs to be cleaned and cared for
This was our second time to this property. We love the location on the water and the kayaks. The beach was COVERED in fire ants and we couldn’t play on the beach. Our kids were very disappointed. Inside the home is great for the space. This year it was not clean and the kitchen had less equipment than before. I wish he had access to cleaning supplies too so we can clean counters and table after cooking and serving. Considering the price, we expected a cleaner home and outdoor area. We may have to consider a different home next year.
This is a nice, large house with all the conveniences, less than an hour from Austin. It was roomy enough for our three families, inside, and out on the porch.
The Llano River is very shallow near the house- you can walk halfway across it and not get your knees wet. Perfect for the children. The land across from you is undeveloped; it is quiet here. There is a sand island just across from the house, accessable by kayak. There are several kayaks to use, and a couple of life vests, but no childrens' vests.
The bird viewing is amazing.
The ping pong room was fun and opened onto the yard. We had a fire both nights, there was wood there, but we brought some just in case.
We loved it and will come again.

A beautiful and fun property
We had a great time at this beautiful home and the views are hard to beat. Our teenagers were thrilled with all the entertainment options and spent a lot of time playing ping pong. It is worth noting that the recent rains washed away the beach. There is still sand there, but it is too far down from the built in stairs to enjoy it. We accessed the water by scooting or stepping off the small dock. I didn't take away any stars for this as it isn't anyone's fault, but until it's fixed it is a good thing to know. I did deduct a star for cleanliness. At eye level, everything seems very clean - bathroom fixtures, counter tops, windows, and beds all looked very nice. However the cleaning crew is not looking up or down. There were a ton of old spider webs hanging from the ceiling and upper parts of the walls, and lots of new spiders in webs, too. When we got there my husband got rid of 13 spiders right off the bat, then we used the handheld vacuum to suck spider webs off the bedroom ceilings. Also, we have a crawling baby and the floor turned him black daily. Anyone who went barefoot inside also had black feet. The floors look clean but desperately need a good mopping. The outside furniture is also covered in spider webs and isn't really usable. Aside from this, the home and property are beautiful. You have amazing views of the sunset from the large windows, and being able to see the Packsaddle Mountain from the home and water was awesome! The furnishings are very nice and the king size beds are very comfortable. There aren't ceiling fans anywhere and I'd recommend bringing a fan you're used to moving air at night. Nicely stocked kitchen and plenty of bath towels.
