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

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!!

Excellent spot to get away!

The location of this lake house is absolutely perfect! The cove is calm quiet and huge!!! Plenty of room for boating, kayaking & SUPing! The fire pit is situated just right for watching the sunrise & enjoying the lake from morning til night! The dock is spacious with plenty of room for the fishermen & sunbathers to enjoy at the same time! You won’t be sorry that you chose this property!

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.
