Soul Quenching Views, Breathtaking Sunsets. Gorgeous Covered Balcony on the Lake
NOTE: The lake level is quite low, it is a real challenge getting down to the water right now. Open floor plan, mid-century elevated house with unbeatable views. Lakefront property with boat dock/swim platform and access to neighborhood boat launch. Kayak, swim, boat, fish and take in the view the lake from the spacious porch. Boat rentals are also available in nearby Lakehills or Mico. After you have enjoyed the water, you can birdwatch, play horseshoes, tour the hill country, and enjoy the views from the porch. In the evening, enjoy the lake breezes and the songs of frogs and birds. In the mornings, as the sun burns off the night mist, the view from the porch is magical. Vintage kitchen is well-equipped. Sleeps five: Master bedroom with a king size bed; second bedroom with full bed, plus an inflatable mattress. A fold-out couch is also available. Wood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows. For bikers and cyclists who enjoy the Texas Hill Country, our property lends itself well to scenic Hill Country rides.

Absoultely Amazing
We had a great time, this property is perfect for a small family getaway. The girls enjoyed the Kayaks in the evenings, the views are absolutely amazing. The dock worked well to tie our boat to at night.
We enjoyed our stay at Lakehills. The view is incredible and even though the water level was low (which we were told ahead of time), we had a great time at the house, walking through the area and watching a lot of deer. We also drove up to Bandera, TX which was also a lot of fun.

Exceeded expectations - great lakefront retreat
This is a very comfortable home with easy lake access and provided for everything our family needed during our weeklong stay. From the view of the lake to the abundance of wildlife including deer and hummingbirds, this environment was calming and relaxing and encouraged good family time and game playing. The owner is extremely attentive to detail and responsive.

Everything and More!
What a great place to get away from the mayhem that is life! Truly a relaxing spot with vuews that would make the cover if magazines! Favorite part is the deck! In addition the hosts are on top of it...they has is fully stocked with everything you need from the kitchen, bathrooms, and entertainment. Strongly recommend!
We are return visitors. Since our last stay, the owners have made a number of updates; updated bathroom with walk-in shower, new beds (comfy foam mattresses), fresh paint throughout, and new laundry machines. Jeff was an attentive host. The lake level is low due to draught, but we were able to use the kayaks provided at the property and enjoy the lake. The views remain wonderful and we enjoyed the deer.
Groovy house with amazing views and private lake access.
We have been a few times and always enjoy. The lake was really low this year and you could still get in the water from the dock, it's one of the deepest parts of the lake. The balcony is great, sunset views, deer everywhere. Very peaceful, we will be back.
Very peaceful property and beautiful views. House was clean and well decorated compared to most small lakehouses you find. We enjoyed the wildlife in the mornings and even though it is only at about 10% levels right now, it still made for a nice view. My only suggestion would be to bring your own groceries into town! Hope to return!
Amazing house, with everything you need but forgot to pack. 😂
Very clean.
Only issue was the hike down to the water because the lake is so low but that was made clear upon booking so it was expected. Will definitely come back.
We arrived to find a SPECTACULAR view and the natural beauty of the lake area. Next Morning had visitors ( 10 Deer ) which we fed corn from the deck. Everyone loved this !!
We returned to the cabin at 8pm Saturday evening, and the A/C had stopped working during the day, and it was over 85 degrees inside.. Jeff (our host) was called and I explained how uncomfortable the heat was, and he was able to send a repairman that evening, and it was repaired quickly.
Thank You JEFF !!
so our stay was Beautiful, Peaceful and Comfortable...
The lake view is enough to give it 5 stars. My family and I enjoyed the stay in this cabin. Convenience grocery store just to 10 min drive. Nice Sunset and peaceful time. Recommended..
The view from this property is absolutely breathtaking! My husband & I enjoyed our stay immensely, relaxing and enjoying the beautiful view. The lake levels were low at 28% , so the dock was difficult to access (we are in our 40s and relatively active - we had to climb vertically on all 4s to access.) The low water levels added breathtakingly beautiful rocky canyon walls to the already- amazing landscape, you are definitely staying here for the incredible view that you see from the convenience of the floor to ceiling windows in the house and the awesome porch. Bring your camera - every single picture you take will be amazing. Abundant deer (they are EVERYWHERE) add to the charm. We had a great time reconnecting here, and the owner was very accommodating when we requested a late checkout so we could enjoy a little more time here. Driveway was a little tricky to back into on the curvy mountain road - the views alone made everything well worth it.
Bedsheets were fresh and clean! The place needs some updates but that did not affect our stay. We were able to cook our thanksgiving dinner and really enjoyed waking up and having our coffee to the amazing view. Our dog was allowed to stay with us and that made us súper happy.
The property was very easy to get to. Communication with property was was great!
We had trouble getting the key out, but a quick call to the property owner and we got in no problem.
Property was very clean with beautiful views of the lake. The patio is amazing to sit on early in the morning up until late afternoon since the sun sets and you can feel the Texas heat.
King size bed was extremely comfortable.
We slept one night in the other bedroom with our newborn, but the bed was extremely uncomfortable and noisy. I say noisy because every time my husband or I moved, we woke up our newborn from her pack and play.
The walk to the lake was no problem for my husband and I, but carrying our newborn and 78 year old mother in law, it was quite the trek. Once at the water, we were able to cool down.
Overall I would definitely recommend this property.

Home very nice, had a great time only needs to be clean better
The house is very nice, we had a good time, only that who ever cleans the house needs to pay more attention on details. Some spots were dirty in the kitchen including dishes and appliances.
This beautiful home was perfect for my little family! We enjoyed the balcony view of the lake! The lake was wonderful as well. We enjoyed the doc and swan all day till night time. Every area in the house was clean and decorated so cute! We look forward for my trips to this home! Jeff was an awesome communicator and made should we had his information for anything we may of needed. Definitely recommend staying here!
The drive up to the house was scenic. The home itself is very well kept and spacious for a family of four. Our host provided a couple of kayaks, paddle boards, as well as life jackets and we had a blast learning to use the equipment. Water was cool and clear and the floating dock provided great cannon ball fun. Several local eateries to choose from and all were reasonably priced and good food. Overall a memorable experience.
The most beautiful home with breathtaking views. The whole back wall is windows looking over the water and it is stunning. The wraparound porch is perfect for sitting out and taking the views in and the house has everything you need to be fully comfortable and happy. A bit steep/rocky getting down to the dock but not a problem at all. I had the best few days here, perfect for a relaxing retreat
