Lake Buchanan

This place was perfect for my son and his family. It is .2 miles from my house so this may become a regular rental for them when they visit. It is so accommodating for adults and kids.

Pictures can lie

Just OK, I had problems locking both doors, Driving off main road was very bad. But the biggest flaw was Lake very low and unsightly stuff that belongs to the owner not removed and cleaned up, needs a fence because of bad dogs roaming!!! Pictures were very misleading! We liked Rena

Excellent Experience / Wonderful Property

My daughter and I stayed here in January to see Inks Lake State Park. We enjoyed everything about this house and property. The house was impeccably clean and welcoming. Our hosts were great, communicative, and helpful. We thought that the beds were the most comfortable that we've ever had on vacation. We would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing family time

Convenient location, central to Llano, Burnet, Marble Falls, etc. Lots to discover and adventure. Beautiful scenery, sunrise and sunset, super quiet. Beautiful property and felt private and remote. Water was low but still an easy walk and enjoyable view. Lots of birds.

Comfortable & Stylish Retreat!

Our family of adults had a relaxing retreat at Rena’s lakeside home. Lake Buchanan is very low at this time and we found it easier to launch our boat at nearby Inks Lake State Park where we’ve been before. We appreciated an early check in and Rena was quick to respond to our needs. The king bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed the cozy living areas. There was a list of recommendations to eat and places to visit. Coopers BBQ in Llano should be added to the list :)

Amazing!

By far the best place I have ever stayed. The property itself is gorgeous and right on the lake with plenty of things to do. The cottage was big with the cutest beach decor. They even leave you a customized tote to have and use at the beach. Rena is a wonderful host and saw to all our needs. If you want a fabulous vacay with family and friends this is the place to be. Will definitely be going back!

Had a great time.

It was a great getaway, the house had it's own unique feel, but felt like home except with a lake right out front. The kids had a blast in the water, the fishing was good even with the lake levels being low. Would definitely come back again.

Sweetest lake front cove around!

We had a great time at this property. Home is very minimalistic, but it’s exactly what you need for a lake trip. We spent our time outside and in the water and on the beautiful lawn. Pictures on the site do not do the yard and lake front area justice. It’s such a special spot. Pretty private and very close to a convenience store that has EVERYTHING!

The property is amazing the view are the best and sunsets you have to see for your self.

We booked this for our wedding party and it was the best place. Everyone that came out where blown away with the property and views. The two homes are super clean and homely. I got the best sleep of this year so far this weekend. If there was anything I would change with this property. It would be putting my name on it. There is nothing more someone could ask for. The owns where so nice and helpful.
