We had a wonderful stay! The amenities were amazing for the outdoors as we had access to a canoe, row boat, and a pedal boat. The fish were literally jumping out of the water!!! There was a lot of wildlife around and the sunsets were incredible. Overall, the vacation was a peaceful and serene experience.

Great stay.

The cabin has everything you’d need to be entertain indoors and outdoors. It is well stocked with games, books, and all kinds of water toys/gear. The kitchen is very well stocked and their are plenty of seats for all throughout the cabin and outside. Such a great place. Great property and sweet owners.

Family retreat

We had a great time at Lake Buchanan. This two bedroom house was spacious and very clean. There was lots of hot water for our group. Plenty of towels. The kitchen and living room were welcoming. Just what we needed for an impromptu get together with family.

Peaceful and Relaxing

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The house was very clean and stocked with everything I needed. I got away by myself after losing my husband. Not once was I worried about being on my own there. Thank you for making my stay so comfortable.

Anniversary getaway

Loved a week at this nice home. In a quiet neighborhood. The morning sunrise was pleasant before the temp rose to 100 +. Great location we visited San Saba, and Llano and took our paddle board to Inks lake to watch the sunset. Would love to come back.

Home away from home

This place truly had a home feeling to it. Had everything you may need minus clothes and food...even had toys for if you had small children.Could even watch deer from the back patio. It was super clean and was impressed from the moment we walked in the door. Have no complaints and couldn't have picked a better place to stay if I tried!

The house was very cozy and the backyard area was great! I loved that I was able to bring my dogs, they loved it! The only complaint I have is that the bedroom with the one queen bed was very warm.

Amazing

As this stay was intended for a family stay to do important things a quickly turned into a short family vacation, which was amazing!!! The house was more than I could ever imagine it to be. The neighborhood was extremely quiet. The room living room message were very spacious!!! The family was able to sit outside as a whole and just relax and enjoy each other’s company for the first time in almost 10 years!!!

nice & quiet

We were seeking a peaceful retreat between a chaotic family Christmas and New Year’s party, and this place delivered exactly what we needed. Perhaps due to the winter season, it was incredibly quiet and serene—just what we were looking for! Our dog thoroughly enjoyed the vast open space to explore and was fascinated by the many deer wandering around.The living space was spacious, and the kitchen was well-equipped for our needs. We especially loved the chiminea on the patio, which made for cozy evenings by the fire every night of our stay.That said, we should have researched the area a bit more, as we’re out-of-state visitors. The lake's water level is very low, so it’s not within walking distance—something to keep in mind depending on your expectations. The nearest store is about 30 minutes away, though they do offer Instacart delivery for an additional fee.Here are some tips for future visitors:Bring plenty of firewood and charcoal if you plan to grill.Note that there’s no dishwasher, so paper plates might come in handy.Be cautious on the patio as there are fire ants. We recommend wearing gloves when adding wood to the fire and keeping your feet covered.If having a TV in the primary bedroom is important to you, plan accordingly. The room doesn’t have one, so we moved an older TV from the kids’ room and used our Apple TV to stream.On the positive side, the couch was large and very comfortable, lab and human approved!Suggestions for the owners:Consider upgrading the bed and bedding in the primary bedroom for added comfort (this is why we didn't give 5 stars)Adding a streaming-compatible TV in the primary bedroom would be a great touch.Overall, this was a great place for some much-needed tranquility. Thank you for the experience!

Easily the BEST vrbo we have stayed at. The living space was clean, there were plenty of watercrafts and water toys for the kiddos, as well as indoor toys which our little ones loved. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and pots and pans. Washer and dryer was a big plus, especially with kids. The lake was peaceful, the large deck out back and grill were great. No complaints and would recommend!
