Sunset Cliff Retreat-Peaceful Lakefront on Lake Buchanan

Magnificent panoramic lake views from the large windows surrounding the home! Lake views from every room. Please keep in mind water at our dock fluctuates with different weather conditions. Lake levels are out of our control, currently our lake is FULL. There are parks, caverns, and areas very close by to enjoy your stay at the lake. Plus, you’ll have beautiful views that will be there.

This gorgeous, modern remodeled 2,500 sq. ft.4 bed, 3 bath home is located on Lake Buchanan and boasts beautiful views of the lake from every room. It's the perfect getaway for your family, anyone who likes to fish, go boating, kayaking, or even if you just want a little peace and quiet getaway. Follow the beautiful walkway (made from rocks mined in our yard and locally) in our backyard to access the lake. Maybe you'd prefer hanging out under any of our large oak trees on the property. Where ever you choose to be, you're sure to enjoy your stay. Closeby, you'll find venues, trails, Spider Mountain, and other attractions.

When you go inside you will be captivated by views of the lake. Follow the bamboo floors through the main floor area to find a full size guest bathroom, large living room and open concept kitchen. Great areas for entertaining guests and a kitchen with pots, pans, utensils, and much more. Everything you'll need to cook a nice meal. You will also find the large master bedroom with views of the lake and a comfy king bed in the master. It has a connecting private bathroom that reminds us of going to the spa. With its beautiful atmosphere you're sure to feel right at home! It has a large soaking tub, shower, and separated sinks. We have a washer and dryer available for your use on the main level. When you're done eating inside and want to take in the fresh air, walk out on our large patio deck where you can watch the sun rise or even sunset, so relaxing.

Walk upstairs to find 2 more bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The bathroom has a bathtub/ shower combo and 2 sinks. The first bedroom is great for your guests. It has a full size bed and bunk beds, too. You'll find beautiful views of the lake from the windows. The second bedroom has 1 queen size bed and 2 twin beds with gorgeous views of the lake. Can you imagine waking up and looking out the window to see the water? It's marvelous!

Walk downstairs from the main floor and find the 4th bedroom with a daybed trundle and Cabinet queen sleeper, along with a large TV, ping pong/ billiards table. We can accommodate 4 people on the bottom floor also.

This is a wonderful property and you can feel the love the family has for their home. The host was quick to respond and the details of decorating, comfort and customized welcome message made our stay special. Pared with beautiful views and peaceful surrounding, I definitely can recommend this property to anyone looking for a serene retreat. Being less than 20 minutes away from the nearest HEB and the city of Burnett, makes this a perfect balance of relaxation and convenience.

Beautiful home!

We absolutely enjoyed our Thanksgiving weekend at the Sunset Cliff Retreat. Heather made us feel so welcome and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. There was plenty of room and beds for the 10 of us. The home is beautifully updated with a great kitchen for preparing meals. It is well-stocked with towels, bedding, and all the kitchen necessities. There were games and puzzles available for some fun family time. Great location right on the water. Thanks for a great Thanksgiving weekend!

Nice area

House is very nice. Lots of rules but most easy to follow. Lake is very, very low, but still nice views and area has lots of hills and cliffs and ricks to climb. Sleeps a big group comfortably. Communication easy and prompt. Wifi limited but adequate for light usage and streaming. Enjoyed the local state parks, lots of good exploring and hiking. Limited restaurants but good grocery store in Burnet.

Hope to be back!

The property host was always super responsive and helpful leading up to and during our stay. We loved the house. It is beautiful and has a gorgeous view of the lake that takes your breathe away when you first walk in. The location is perfect too. We spent most of our time floating in the water, a stones throw from the house, or sitting on the back porch chatting. We didn’t turn on a TV the entire stay. We also utilized the proximity of the property to other hill country favorites, hiking up about an hour north to Colorado Bend state park for a morning hike to Gormon Falls and also grabbing BBQ at the famous Coopers BBQ in Llano, tx about 45 minutes west. We definitely hope to be back one day with more kids in tow to enjoy the water!

Three family stay

We stayed at this house with two other families with small children; one family on each floor. The kitchen set up is great as is the location with the living room and balcony. Our families were able to congregate and then go back to our spaces for rest. The balcony easily fit our three families with plenty of space leftover to grill. The roof overhang above the balcony even allowed us to grill in a heavy downpour. The view is fantastic and the rain clouds made for a stunning sunset. Heather was very responsive and provided very clear instructions for cleaning up when checking out. The property is well managed and pride of ownership shows. We would definitely like to visit again!

July to Remember

My family and I had the pleasure of renting Heathers home for the month of July. We are a large family of 12 total and there was plenty of space for everyone to crash when they were there. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you will ever need. I was pleasantly surprised to find a water cooler to be able to use even though we brought tons of water bottles. Beds are comfortable and so are the linens. Internet is horrible so take advantage of her DVD collection and bring some from home. We spent lots of time playing games, swimming in the lake, fishing and watching movies. Communication with host was top notch. Looking forward to staying here again!

Great Location - Some Things Not As Nice As Could Be for 10 Rating

We stayed at this lake house for a weekend with cousins and had a great time overall. The living room was very comfortable for hanging out, and having separate HVAC systems for each floor was a big plus—it kept the house comfortable throughout. The host was responsive and easy to communicate with.That said, there were a few drawbacks. The grill was messy and difficult to use precisely, and there was no speaker setup for music (no Bluetooth or Sonos). WiFi was very slow, which made streaming or working difficult. The downstairs level felt a bit disconnected from the rest of the house, and there was no soap in the showers when we arrived. Kitchen utensils were also pretty limited, which made cooking a little more effort than expected.All in all, it was a good stay with some room for improvement. We'd consider coming back with the right expectations.
