At Lake LBJ’s waterfront, enjoy outdoor fun and relaxation with a large backyard, covered boat dock, jet ski ramps, lake swimming and fishing, a boat launch just a mile away, and lots of sunset moments! The Shorewood is like a big wet and wild playground for kids ages 5 to 95!
You’ll have lots of luminous living space over two stories, 3,600 sq ft, and 3 separate living rooms to spread out and get comfortable at The Shorewood home. This lakeside oasis is perfect for a getaway weekend with friends, enjoying quality time with family, or hosting a small work retreat.
When it’s time to dine, The Shorewood has everything you need to cook like a chef and eat like a king. The kitchen’s recently remodeled with modern appliances and a separate dining room that seats 8 comfortably. There’s also a breakfast bar with 4 barstools and 3 grills for cooking up the catch of the day.
Enjoy lake views while eating outside on the wrap-around balcony, lakeside dining table, or at one of the seven barstools at the cabana bar! Enjoy a sunset toast from your second-story balcony at the end of each fun-filled day, or relax with a cocktail and the view!
If you need to squeeze in some remote work, you’ll have a dedicated workspace (desk) in the queen bedroom, plus reliable Wi-Fi at the property. There’s a Smart TV with cable and Roku for relaxing downtime moments on the sofa. For indoor fun, you can play Monopoly in the game room, enjoy a Ping Pong battle, or maybe tell ghost stories at night in the Bunk Room.
When exhausted from a fun-filled day, have a restful night in any of The Shorewood’s spacious bedrooms. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs (one with a king bed and one with a queen), one king master bedroom downstairs with Bedroom 4, the bunk room, attached. The bunk room is spacious, with 4 full beds, a queen sleeper sofa, and a big TV. It’s a great room for the kids!

Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Had a day of rain but all enjoyed playing ping pong and the spacious game room.
Bathrooms were stocked with all necessities as well as kitchen with cooking essentials.
The one negative was the tiki bar outside. We would stay again.
Our family had a great 4th of July weekend in your home. We enjoyed sitting on the screened in back porch drinking our coffee in the mornings. It's a nice, quiet cove and we liked that we could leave our boat out at night and jump in the next day. Thank you for a great weekend!
Overall we had a fantastic experience. The house was beautiful, spacious and well-equipped, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. There was a minor issue with one of the neighbor's dog who wandered onto the property several times which caused some tension, especially since we had our own dogs with us. It seems the dog could easily come over from the neighbor's dock. Despite this small setback, the stay was otherwise outstanding and I would recommend this property!
Excellent location in both location on the lake and proximity to Marble Falls.
Outdoor patio furniture needs an upgrade as it has little support and is covered in dirt and debris (would benefit to bring cushions inside when guests are not at the home). But the new lounge chairs on the dock were great.
Bathrooms are all very nice and very updated, but the rest of the house is showing its age. Beds are comfy and common room areas are spacious. Kitchen is small but well stocked, though we unfortunately dealt with a few pest control issues (the cans of raid placed around the home clued us in that there could be problems).
Must bring your own kayaks/SUPs. Great dock to launch off of, though you probably won’t swim right off the dock due to the algae. The outdoor kitchenette pictured is useless and run down.
Tons of deer in the area which is fun. The dock is well shaded most of the day and the yard is well fenced for your pet friends.
Overall had a fine stay. Lodgewell provides a text number to reach them and they always responded within 15 min.

Nice, but not as advertised
We very much enjoyed our stay, however the photos of the home, specifically the outside, are staged and not actually as they appear in person. The broken lounger and chairs were piled against the fence making it very untidy. They should be removed. The tiki house is in need of repair…paint, broken lights and rusted chairs. It had no running water and was not usable during our stay. It has potential, but certainly not as beautiful as the photos.
I would however recommend this home.
We had a lovely time and enjoyed the quiet cove with ample indoor space. The house is very large with lots of common space. The kitchen however is very small, but was fully stocked with everything we needed. We love to cook and found it to have everything needed, except steak knives. Traditional coffee pot, not pods. The upstairs fridge drawers are cracked and broken making it difficult to store veggies and fruit in them. The microwave above the stove doesn’t work, but there is one on the counter if you need. Only one of the propane grills worked, the one up by the garage.
Beautiful sunrise and sunsets.make for perfect mornings and evenings. Loved sitting on the upstairs deck each morning and night.
Upstairs master bath does need some window coverings as it’s not private from chest up.
AC worked great. Gets very cold downstairs though. Ping pong table was a BIG hit! Great tv’s throughout the house.
Enjoy the lake and make wonderful memories here!
This place is wonderful! We had a group of friends that enjoyed the beautiful lake setting and the oversized living room! It was a wonderful spot for all of us.
Great location, house was big and beautiful, a ton of space, great outdoor area, house was equipped with everything you can think of , management company was very helpful, and quick to respond , check in and check out was easy ! We had a great time , would stay here again !!
We made a quick trip to Lake LBJ for an event in the Granite Shoals neighborhood. We only stayed one night at the house but were very impressed with the cute property. We will hopefully come back in the future for a longer stay.
We had a great, albeit short stay at this property and it handled our group of ten with space to spare.
We loved the various living areas and easy access to the water.
There was a small water leak that showed up an hour or so after we arrived and Chereen was quick to respond, even on a Sunday.
We'll definitely consider coming back for our next trip to the area!

Great location and layout, just needs some TLC
Great layout for families, location and the property management team was very responsive. Comfortable beds, towels and even had kid skis. The house is in need of some general maintenance especially for the price we paid… old grills, some of the furniture is worn out, sliding doors get stuck, boat lift gets stuck and needs to be either replaced or fixed. Overall, we had a blast at LBJ.
I suggest you include in your listing that you have a pack n play and baby seat. I didn't know that so we had to either bring those things with us or make arrangements to get them after we got there. Thank you.
I liked the house and location. We did have some issues with fridge door. Fortunately they have another small fridge where we transfered our goods. They did respond the next day and send a tech to fix the fridge. I would have liked if they provided a paddle boat or kayak. Overall the house has plenty of space and the kids enjoyed the ping pong table.
the size of the home was great for us. 5 adults and 4 children. We played ping pong every day and also loved being out on the water in our boat.Thebedrooms and bathrooms were up to date and comfortable. We had difficulty with the AC. the service provider was attentive to our needs and got it running. He was patient and respectful. We also had a bit of a problem with the ice maker.
Over all it was a lovely place to be and share a great time with our family together.
Our experience renting this awesome home was so great and joyful making hard to describe in words. The house itself has so much to offer guests of all different ages lots of exciting elements to ensure they maximize their fun, joy, and excitement. As you may see in the photos so many areas of different seating setups to enjoy the lake views, the cleanliness and neat furniture along with the renovated updates, super stacked with items you may need to use and enjoy. Hard to experience it all in just two days.
I have to say I am most blown away by the amazing management team who went above and beyond to ensure our full satisfaction and sky rocket our fun experience, always prompt in responding immediately to our questions and providing us needed information about the stay, out of hundreds of previous rentals I will always remember how great the management was for this property, we are most grateful!
I highly recommend this place, I am positive you may have an awesome vacation staying here.

Good location, but property wasn't property cleaned and sanitized. Need an exterminator!
The property wasn't properly cleaned or sanitized and in serious need of a really good exterminator. The kitchen area had ants crawling everywhere and there were cockroaches spotted throughout the property. Ughh...The photos were very misleading and we paid quite a bit per night. The patio seating was very dirty and covered in cobwebs. I really wanted to like this property, but couldn't get past how unclean it was and the infestation. I would think with all the fees, you would get the property cleaned and ready for guests. That's too bad. Nothing like having your daughter scream in the middle of the night, because there's a huge cockroach crawling on the ceiling...like seriously! At least the two bathrooms were renovated and clean. We did enjoy the game room. The sunset view was nice. The house was spacious. Other than that, I wouldn't come back or recommend to friends or family.
