You will enjoy the lake breezes, peace and quite of the countryside, and be entertained watching the wildlife on the ranch across the water as well as the deer and wildlife on the acreage around you. There is one other larger rental available, the BnR Lodge, for larger parties on the property.

Not their fault
My husband and I brought our grandkids, 5, and 7 for a holiday in June. The property itself was clean and reasonably well-appointed. The deck is new. It does have a narrow spiral staircase to the loft which worried me with young children, but they did alright. Also the large windows up in the A frame need a way to keep scorching sun out. Beds were really comfortable and the washer and dryer were nice to have. The kids loved the jacuzzi. Kids also had a blast in the sandy beach. We also were able to hunt for arrowheads with the low water line.
The outlook, across to open fields was nice and we enjoyed their horses, to give carrots and apples. We saw a road-runner. The downside of our stay was that the lake was SUPER low due to the drought and the zebra mussels wreaked havoc on our hands and feet while swimming. It was SO low that the entry was narrow and rocks were covered. Creek sneaks are a MUST. We brought a jet ski and kayaks and were able to enjoy the lake.
The owner was kind and helpful and we would love to go back with more family renting the house next door (also their rental) when the water was higher. This is clearly not the fault of the owners, but renters need to watch the water levels.

Waterfront bliss
Our family of 5 had the most wonderful and relaxing experience staying at this cozy lake house. The splendour of nature around, waterfront and open sky views were a treat for us and the sand beach is ideal for younger children! We will be back for sure, thank you!

Peaceful and relaxing
The property is perfect for a relaxing weekend on the lake. The location is excellent. Secluded but not…even though the owners and another rental house share the property, it felt secluded. Thanks Sheri and Alan for sharing your property!

Peaceful
We had a great time. The area is kind of secluded so you don’t have all the boat traffic right in front of you. We all had fun swimming and playing in the water. We took our tritoon boat and anchored it right in front of the house. It worked great. Would definitely come stay again.

Fantastic!
We had such a great time at Sherri and Alan’s. The house was perfect for our family of 4. So much room! Our teens loved the loft upstairs. The lake was beautiful and we enjoyed kayaking, swimming and fish. The house was so well stocked and we loved the hot tea selection.

Cozy cabin on the lake sleeps 6 comfortably.
We chose this because it was close to Inks Lake and Colorado Bend State Park. Our kids loved swimming in lake Buchanan and our hosts were amazing.

Great location and house
Everything was great. The location couldn't be better. The only downside was the floor rugs were filled with sand, dirt and rocks and the pans were not really clean. There was also a dirty cookie sheet in the oven. These things are easily fixed and I wouldn't let that deter anyone from staying there. The owner helped us in with our bags which was very nice. Unlike some places we have stayed the kitchen is fully stocked with all you need to cook.

Weekend With the Wife and dogs
When we entered the house it was clean and you could smell the cleanliness. My wife gave it a two thumbs up and knowing my wife that is major. Nice music was playing as well when we entered. Very very happy I chose this location. Be ready to enjoy each others company because if you love to be head down in your phone forget it which is what we need. Sherri did tell us that wifi is ify but she has direct TV with plenty of channels. Sherri is very sweet and nice and communicates well to make sure your stay is pleasant. We will definitely be returning in the future....

Outdoor oasis with nice beach
We enjoyed our 2 day stay at this property! We only had 3 of us & our dog, but was able to kayak, grill out, & sit on deck to relax, read, & enjoy view. Sherri checked in on us once arrived which was nice. There is privacy even though another rental house on property next door. We would come back...great kitchen, access to lake, beach, & massive rock structures as enter property entrance which we took walk to & photos!

Great Property, Great Host
Our family of 4 really enjoyed this beautiful property. The owner, Alan, is a wonderful host that truly wanted us to enjoy our time spent there. We rented a boat from Alan, caught a few fish, and loved how peaceful and relaxing this trip was. Overall, it was an amazing vacation and we will be back in the near future.

Wonderful weekend getaway
My husband and two dogs enjoyed our weekend getaway. We took advantage of the boat rental and charcoal grill. Definitely bring some water shoes as recommended by the owner. You do have houses/cabin on either side but we still felt that it was pretty private. The lake is beautiful. The cabin is very clean and the owners are very friendly and polite. We are so thankful to have found this piece of paradise and have recommended it to other friends and family (as much as we’d love to keep it our little secret!). Thank you for sharing your lake home with us, Sherri and Alan!

Great get away spot!
Great location, beautiful property! The water is great, easy access, lots of places to fish on the property! We lucked out and had it to ourselves for the 3 days we were here. The owners were very nice and easy to get a hold of. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back.

An Amazing Place To Get Away
On reviewer said the pictures do not do this lake house justice and they were right. This place is amazing. The location is perfect, right on the lake and made daily swims and kayak trips so convenient. Alan and Sherri were the best hosts and the communication was perfect. This will be our go to lake home rental for the future.

Relaxing Escape from Austin
Sherri and Alan were fantastic hosts. The house is exactly as advertized- a very comfortable lake retreat. We had the best time sitting in camp chairs in the water along the beach right out front. We also brought our small 16 ft. boat. It was incredibly easy to put in at the local boat ramp and motor over to their dock. The kitchen was well stocked with more than just the basics. The view of the lake and stars at night was delightful. We brought our 15-week old grandson for his first vacation and had the time of his life splashing in the water. Thank you so much for such a relaxing time.

Perfect Getaway
A friend and I went out for a birthday celebration and the house was even cooler than the pictures. A beautiful deck, great private beach, lots of light in the house from the windows, a fun kitchen stocked with unique dishes and glassware, and fun lake house decor. We’ll definitely be coming back! Thanks!

The lake was so refreshing. The hosts are perfect! So kind! Thanks for opening your place to our family!! Can’t wait to return in July!

Quiet Lakefront Getaway
We really enjoyed our stay. The views from the cabin were beautiful. The outdoor areas where great for our kids. At the suggestion of the owners, we brought our kids bikes for them to ride around the property. We enjoyed the piers for fishing and the Sandy beach for splashing around some in the water despite the water being chilly this time of year. The owners were extremely welcoming and accommodating as well as very responsive. We would definitely love to return and even possibly rent the larger cabin on the property as well. We would highly recommend This great, lakefront cabin.

Wonderful getaway
This little cottage by the lake was all I expected it to be and more. The property manager was pleasant and the house itself was clean and homey. I loved the quiet and swimming in the lake with my daughters and puppy was fantastic. I will visit again in the future

It was like staying with a nice aunt.
This house is very nice and well-appointed. The furnishings are plush, the kitchen well-stocked, and the bathroom even had plenty of large towels for our family (feels so nice to get clean after being in the lake all day!). The Crawfords (owners) have made several other hospitable touches, such as a bowl of travel-sized toiletries available on the counter, or the ice trays already full in the freezer.
My husband and I stayed in the downstairs bedroom, which has a nice carpet and a really good stand-up fan that helped the room stay cool like my husband likes it. Our two daughters stayed in the upstairs loft, which has another king bed as well as a twin -- my little 8 year old looked pretty cute sleeping on that king-sized bed all by herself while my 10 yr old took the twin sized one that was cozily under the eaves. The loft room is spacious and has nice windows and a bench seat along the front wall; only thing is, the narrow spiral staircase leading up to it is not for the faint of heart!
We also loved the large deck at the back of the house that faces the lake. I spent many relaxing hours just lounging and reading there, watching the kids play in the water. And one night, we sat out there gazing at the incredible number of stars that can be seen in that country sky.
One other *really* nice touch is that the beach leading down to the water in their semi-private cove has a LOT of soft fluffy white sand for the kids to play in. This sand has obviously been brought in to supplement what was already just a basic granite sand and rock beach. That sand was awesome! It was great for the kids, kind to our feet, and very nice for the adults to sit on in lawn chairs.
Finally, Sherri and Alan Crawford were extremely gracious and responsive. They checked in on us, helped with airing up our water floats, things like that. They also had some kayaks and a canoe for rent, along with life jackets and paddles. We had a blast kayaking around the slough and exploring!
This is a great property, and I would recommend it to anyone! It also worked really well for our large family gathering, since the rest of my extended family stayed at the other property on the Crawford's 17 acre spread, and that way we had the entire lake front to ourselves.
