Flechazo - The House at Silver Creek.
When I was a kid, we used to spend our weekends and summer vacations at a lake house outside the city. Sometimes we would stay for a few days, sometimes longer. Spending time at the lake was magical for me. It was all about family and fun. The lake house allowed work and stress to stay in the city, so when we were at the lake, it was all about good times and great memories. When I started a family of my own, I knew I had to find something similar for my children.
We call our house "Flechazo," which translates to "love at first sight." It is everything a vacation lake house should be: of course it is on the water, with a spectacular panoramic view of beautiful Lake Buchanan, the largest and most scenic of the Central Texas Highland Lakes. And of course it is a fully-stocked vacation house, with all the amenities of home. And of course it is spacious. It is not a cabin or a "cottage" or a condominium; this is a roomy, 1800-square-foot home with three bedrooms, two full baths, laundry room, full kitchen, and large dining and living areas. We even have a two-car carport. But hold on! I am just getting started!
Sitting on an entire acre of lakefront, Flechazo is actually on two lots, boasting a whopping 160 feet of waterfront. Believe me, that is a rare find on Lake Buchanan. We looked everywhere on all the Highland Lakes and this is the one we fell in love with! The lot is filled with mature trees offering plenty of shade to the sun weary. Part of the waterfront is sandy beach, another rarity on breezy Lake Buchanan. Best yet, enjoy the refreshing swimming pool with diving board just off the back porch.
There is nothing finer than floating lazily in the pool while taking in the breathtaking view of the Texas Hill country just beyond the sparkling lake. We have got two twin beds and two full-size beds in two guest bedrooms, and a queen in the master, so there is plenty of room for eight. <b>But no more than eight.</b> We are often asked if we can accommodate groups of 10 or 12, and unfortunately we simply can't.
Private and secluded, yet only a short drive to the small town comforts and restaurants of Burnet, Texas, Flechazo is the perfect getaway for a weekend or for the season. |
