Great lake house! We lived lounging in the house, on the patio or on the the dock. The use of the paddle boards and kayaks were key entertainment! The kitchen was fully set with all needed accessories. My elderly parents and my college age kids all had a lovely time!I highly recommend recommend renting a pontoon boat with a float ( we used the one by the dam). The AC worked perfectly in the 100F heat too! My dad actually got chilly a few times, lol.

Totally Perfect!

Took grandkids (7, 11, 17) up to Lake LBJ for a few days. They all remember this house as “the catfish house”! Great location not far from Marble Falls, quiet cove, great dock for lounging & fishing, fire pit, plenty of space for kids to run and play and house was comfy with plenty of space for us 5. Seven year old granddaughter caught a 2lb catfish and was so excited. Homeowner was extremely nice and quick to answer back. Can’t wait to book again! Hudson Family

16th birthday getaway

This property was great. It was compact and very cozy. Super clean. Kitchen was perfectly equipped. Plenty of towels for bathing. Bring your own lake towels. The girls loved use if the paddle boards and kayak. The water off the lake though is full of algae so they did not play volleyball or use the slide or swim near the dock. It is a very quiet area, lots of deer seen. Temperature in the home was good. The couch was so cozy and plenty of seating for everyone in the kitchen. The pictures don’t do this place justice. Note- the master has a king bed and private bathroom, a shared hall bathroom for a room with 2 queens & a room with 2 sets of bunk beds. Smart TVs in main room but not in master. We will definitely return. And the area is great spot for tubing, away from the more crowded parts of the lake.

Beautiful house on an okay lake

Our family had a nice time at the house. The home is immaculate with a well stocked kitchen. The living room was comfortable for our group of seven. The owner was very responsive to the maintenance issues we had. There is a lovely back porch and the dock is very large and inviting. Our one main complaint was the quality of the water. There was so much plant debris in the water that it made the shallow water really mucky and murky. This was a problem for our preschooler who just wanted to wade in the shallow water (not possible) and for the senior citizens who couldn’t climb down the ladder on the dock and therefore had to walk through the grossest part of the water. This property would be great for people who are bringing a boat and can get out on the water to enjoy the nicer parts of the lake. For our family, though, the poor water quality was a real let down.

Family vacation week

After spending a week this rental started to really feel like home. It was cozy and spacious enough for a family vacation that no one was in each others way or felt crowded. The pictures of the house itself did not do it justice. The location on the lake was awesome the cove was peaceful and quiet but a great place to stay away from the crowds on the weekend. It wasn't clearly stated in the listing that boat lift and jet ski lifts weren't available to use when renting. We called the owner and she answered right away to help. The parking was a little tricky to figure out for a double jet ski trailer, pontoon boat trailer, truck, yukon xl and my parents car but it was figured out thankfully. We picked this house because we thought my 2 year old niece would be able to wade in the water but there was too much algae. I understand nature is nature though. Overall the trip was fun and the entire family had a Great vacation!!

The location of this lake house is absolutely perfect! The cove is calm quiet and huge!!! Plenty of room for boating, kayaking & SUPing!

Excellent location

We loved this place! The kids enjoyed the lake so much using the kayak and the paddle board. The property was very pleasant. Only complaint I would have is that it didn’t have much dishes like bowls to put dips in or such. Also, there were many spiderwebs everywhere outside on patio abs deck areas. Other than that, everything else was great.
