The main house and guest house provide perfect accommodations for when you want to be close with privacy. The park-like setting provides direct access to Buchanan Lake. The outdoor firepit is the family favorite spot for making s'mores. We provide propane BBQ plus smoke house smoker, yard games, & plenty of board games...or you can just relax with the lake as your backdrop.

Good works
I'm conflicted on this review - the property was clean and with lots of sundries and supplies, beds were great, firepiit nice, no complaints, overall very good. However, with the lake withdrawn for years around a half mile from the house, this was not even close to waterfront pic they proudly show on the site. Yes, there was a clear disclaimer in the text, so no bait and switch, but leaving the photo up today with the lake down for years, then placing the disclaimer in to avoid liability, well it just doesn't seem to be upfront. Sort of a marketing gimmick. How easy to just replace the photo so people know what they are getting? Why leave a misleading impression? The house is priced right on by the night on first look but with a large cleaning fee you don't see until you checkout, its a good deal but not a great deal. Its all disclosed but only after you fall in love with the great - while in reality its just good. However these days, Good works.

Great Waterfront Location
This place was perfect. The house was very comfortable, clean, and relaxing. Loved the windows and big sliding door that looked out onto the lake. It was so nice being able to walk out the sliding door to sit on the grass lawn with ample trees around to provide shade. The lake is down, which we knew after talking to the owners, but it was still easy to walk out to the water on a sandy shore. It was quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend this place!

Great get away spot!
All that is advertised! Driveway is a little tight for large vehicles, but manageable. Water was low, but that is a seasonal thing. Would love to go back when the lake is back up to the dock.

Nice Property
Unfortunately, due to the drought, this property is no longer lakeside, and it is difficult to access the water. The home was very clean, comfortable and well-appointed. We spent our time visiting the many State Parks and quaint towns in the surrounding area, so we still had a very enjoyable vacation. Thank you.

Nice getaway
My family and I have a nice time staying here. We liked how there were two different houses on the property so the kids could have their own space. They take good care of the grass so it was nice to spend time outside. The lake was super low which is not reflected in the photos online. They had everything you could want in the kitchen for supplies and loved how they have appletv and cable so we could watch anything. The only issue was the air conditioning and flow into the rooms which made for an interesting sleeping arrangement at times and trying to figure out how to make it work for everyone but they did provide fans to help. I recommended that they also change out the filters. This place made for a nice quick stay for family time!

Grounds, house, guesthouse, amenities - everything was excellent. Lake water down. No private beach.
Property was wonderful. Star gazing over an open fire pit was fabulous. Kayaks & floats were great to have. All docks were resting on ground. Lake water was at least 50 yards away. Very quiet probably because of drought conditions we had not anticipated. Lake Llano & LBJ looked fine. Surrounding properties were eyesores. Most had rundown mobile homes.
