Loved the house and the view of the lake from the porch. We had fun walking the shore and just hanging out with family.

Weekend of fun
We were in the area for a Spartan Race. The location was a good proximity to our race site. It was very clean, great communication with the host, we did not need any help with anything, but if we did, they were easy to get in touch with. I was told by our group, we will be staying there again.

Nice
Nice and clean. The fans and porch lights didn’t work on the back porch. Lake access was somewhat confusing. We weren’t sure what was private and what was public.

Enjoyable and excellent views
The only complaint we have is that we had to pay a cleaning fee, but were required to strip all bedding, towels, wash and dry all dishes and put them away. We have stayed at numerous other places, and hsve only been required to load the dish washer. Also, the door code didn't working when we arrived. Had to get code for the key before we could enter the property.

Relaxing Weekend
We wanted to explore the Burnet area. Since we were traveling with our dog, I searched for a “dog friendly “ home. We are so glad we found this house. The house was comfortable, nicely decorated, and well equipped. One of the best parts of the house was the large covered porch with a view of the lake and we appreciated the fenced yard.. We thoroughly enjoyed a glass of wine in the evenings and a cup of coffee in the mornings…..thanks to the porch! All in all, it was a “relaxing weekend “.

Peaceful and Relaxing
Our stay was nice. We arrived early in the evening. We sat out on the porch enjoying our surroundings. Sitting on the porch drinking coffee the next morning was just as relaxing. My grandson loved walking on the beach and collecting fossils (seashells).

Front porch sitting paradise with view of Buchanan lake.
Just a short walk across the road to access the lake.
Not so friendly neighborhood. Lots of drive bys on golf carts and stare downs vehicle occupants.
I would add to the online listing that the pantry and garage are not for use by renters.
The house itself was very clean and roomy. Love the fact that there was washing machine, dryer and dishwasher.
The property management was always friendly, helpfuland quick to respond to questions.

Wonderful weekend getaway at the lake
This property had everything we needed and wanted for a boat weekend at Lake Buchanan. We were looking for a property that would allow close access to a boat ramp (1 mile away from house) with direct lake access. This was the perfect location for that. As a bonus there's access to the neighborhood park directly across the street that accesses a shallow/sandy beach area. We were able to anchor the boat mid day, have lunch at the house then easily return to the lake - no hassle.
The property and home itself was very well appointed, spacious and had everything we needed for a long weekend. Would definitely return and recommend to those wanting easy access to the lake.
