Due to the central Texas drought, the lake has receded and is no longer in front of the home. Guests can walk to the lake shore (~100 yds) or travel the 12 miles to Inks Lake or Lake LBJ which are constant-level lakes.
This gorgeous two-level home is loaded with superb amenities, including a kayak, deck, firepit, patio with a gas grill, and even central air-conditioning for hot-weather guests. This oasis of a home is the perfect place to truly disconnect from the world as it does not have internet. Downstairs, the spacious living area boasts high, vaulted ceilings, burnished floors, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake and countryside, and a large TV to enjoy your favorite DVD movies and Nintendo 64 games. Spend the day at the beach, then come home to get creative in the full kitchen - just shop for your ingredients to take advantage of the kitchen's cookware, appliances, and expansive countertops to turn out tonight's masterpiece. You and the kids will love baking cookies in the double oven! The washer/dryer will take care of those dirty hiking clothes, so you can afford to pack light for your trip.
Enjoy alfresco meals out on the backyard patio while the little ones romp around. You'll find two bedrooms downstairs, the main with access to the deck and an en suite bathroom, and the second bedroom with a small en suite bath of its own. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious sitting area just off the stairs, with a comfy sofa perfect for catching up on your latest novel. The first bedroom has a small reading nook by the window, while the second features a trundle bed, a bunk, an en suite bathroom, and a nook
This home enjoys a perfect location right on the banks of Lake Buchanan, the largest of the Highland lakes and the farthest from Austin, making it the least crowded. Take the boat out to go fishing, swim off the shores, or explore the area with a good hike. Lake LBJ is also nearby and is a constant-level lake. You'll have plenty of great restaurants nearby whenever you need a cooking break. Inks Lake State Park is only 13 miles south, with many terrific outdoor activities, like golfing, hiking, and exploring the granite hills.

Summary: We had a beautiful Easter weekend at this home with family and I would highly recommend it. The lake levels were low and that is not anything anybody can control.

Summary: The house itself is great. Lots of room, very quiet and comfortable. However there are a couple things I’ll call out. The front door lock NEEDS to be replaced. I had to use the emergency physical key the whole time as the code would only work 1 out of 10 times. I couldn’t even get it to lock most times. It needs more than just a reset. Trying to troubleshoot this on the phone after I arrived in the dark was not exactly how I wanted to start my stay. The water filter needs to be serviced or removed. You can only get a trickle of water out at a time and it tasted horrible.

Summary: Advertising was misleading. No hot tub or BBQ grill able to be used, broken beds upstairs, needs a very deep cleaning & painting with carpet cleaning. Items list in fridge was in question as if were charged for cleaning why would it be our responsibility to take bedding down, take garbage out to the curb, run dishwasher. What does cleaning pay for. Animal crackers food toys under the furniture. So there’s your dignity not being well cleaned Pet stains on the carpet in LR. Floors had not been mopped prior to our stay. Was a nice place I’m sure but definitely shows lack of attention for a high price.

Summary: The house was filthy. Especially the kitchen. Bugs along the walls, dirt in the cabinets. We actually excited about the hot tub bbut we were nervous it was dirty and when we got the lid off it was full of water AND leaves. Obviously did not use.

Summary: We had a great time in this home. We had a group of kids between the ages of 1 and 7 and all had a great time. The home is well supplied with towels, bedding, kitchen supplies. It was a short drive to the lake/state park. We really enjoyed it.
