About this house rental

Lone Star Oasis

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Due to the central Texas drought, the lake has receded and is no longer in front of the home. Guests can walk to the lake shore (~100 yds) or travel the 12 miles to Inks Lake or Lake LBJ which are constant-level lakes.

This gorgeous two-level home is loaded with superb amenities, including a kayak, deck, firepit, patio with a gas grill, and even central air-conditioning for hot-weather guests. This oasis of a home is the perfect place to truly disconnect from the world as it does not have internet. Downstairs, the spacious living area boasts high, vaulted ceilings, burnished floors, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake and countryside, and a large TV to enjoy your favorite DVD movies and Nintendo 64 games. Spend the day at the beach, then come home to get creative in the full kitchen - just shop for your ingredients to take advantage of the kitchen's cookware, appliances, and expansive countertops to turn out tonight's masterpiece. You and the kids will love baking cookies in the double oven! The washer/dryer will take care of those dirty hiking clothes, so you can afford to pack light for your trip.

Enjoy alfresco meals out on the backyard patio while the little ones romp around. You'll find two bedrooms downstairs, the main with access to the deck and an en suite bathroom, and the second bedroom with a small en suite bath of its own. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious sitting area just off the stairs, with a comfy sofa perfect for catching up on your latest novel. The first bedroom has a small reading nook by the window, while the second features a trundle bed, a bunk, an en suite bathroom, and a nook

This home enjoys a perfect location right on the banks of Lake Buchanan, the largest of the Highland lakes and the farthest from Austin, making it the least crowded. Take the boat out to go fishing, swim off the shores, or explore the area with a good hike. Lake LBJ is also nearby and is a constant-level lake. You'll have plenty of great restaurants nearby whenever you need a cooking break. Inks Lake State Park is only 13 miles south, with many terrific outdoor activities, like golfing, hiking, and exploring the granite hills.

We had a great time in this home. We had a group of kids between the ages of 1 and 7 and all had a great time. The home is well supplied with towels, bedding, kitchen supplies. It was a short drive to the lake/state park. We really enjoyed it.

The layout of the property is workable. Its a little odd to being staying in the front bedroom witht the half bath connected. Everyone used that restroom throughout our stay. Disappointed to not have paper towels or dishwasher soap upon arrival. Also, gas grill with empty propane. Luckily, we did bring some for the crab boil we planned. Calling the property waterfront is also a little misleading. It's great to have the view, but it is not easily accessible. Overall, great weeekend with friends.

Great common area and very convenient bedrooms and bathrooms. Kids (0-5yo) loved it and we enjoys the sunrises and sunsets over the lake with the giant window in the living room. Would definitely want to come back! We even accidentally left a blanket from our 2yo and they made sure we got it back.

Roomy home with Texas decor. Very clean with a large kitchen with 2 refrigerators. Close to hiking at numerous state parks, wineries and Fredericksburg. Beds were comfortable and numerous with quality bedding.

It was a beautiful home. However, it is supposed to be on the lake, and there was no water within 1/2 a mile due to the extremely low lake levels (not their fault). However, it advertised a hot tub, but the hot tub was drained and not usable, and that was one of the reasons we chose this place. I was disappointed with that. However, there were plenty of places to lay your head, with an abundance of pillows and blankets. If you are a coffee drinker, be sure to bring your own. They offered a tiny bag of coffee, not quite enough to make 1/2 a pot.
