(Please, no pets :-) Enjoy the huge stunning view of the Llano River arm of Lake LBJ with floor to ceiling windows set in a renovated retro-modern 60’s lake cabin, with 1132 square feet of living space set on 150′ of lake front! Now with free Level 2, 48 amp, EV charging! It's located on the best part of Lake LBJ, a constant-level lake, and perfect for all types of watersports. House has a modern front-loading washer and dryer. Boat dock pier has 2 pairs of mooring whips that safely secure most any boat or PWC. Neighborhood boat ramp is two doors over, which provides easy access to launch and retrieve your watercraft. 3 adult-size kayaks, 1 child-size kayak, life jackets in all sizes, beach towels as well as a "LillyPad/Frogmat" are provided. Large sunscreen-covered back deck includes both a BBQ gas grill and a large Blackstone 36" gas griddle. The gigantic backyard has a large shady lakeside "Palapa" (tiki hut) with ceiling fans. Lots of parking in front of the house for cars and trailers. A watercraft rental company is about 1 minute away, along with an HEB grocery store 5 minutes away.
Bedroom 1 has a king-size bed and a suitcase alcove. Bedroom 2 has a queen-size bed and a 2-bed bunk-bed. It has a large closet containing a washer-dryer, life-jackets and plenty of storage space for suitcases. The Great Room has 2 full-size sofa sleepers. The two bathrooms are accessible to everyone, being off of the Great Room. The house has a maximum capacity of sleeping 6 people.
Combine all of this inside of an extremely clean, open, retro-modern concept house, and it's and easy choice for your next vacation rental!

Kingsland stay

It was wonderful. Right on the water. Great views from inside and outside the house. We had happy hour under the cabana and watched the sun set. Coffee on the deck in the mornings. We grilled burgers on one of the excellent grills provided. Overall such a wonderful weekend!

Incredible Home and Location

We enjoyed staying at the Retro Lake House! We opened the door and everyone was amazed at the view. The home has everything you need for a great vacation. We checked into the house and didn’t leave for three days except for boating. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you needed . Chris and Debbie are wonderful hosts. We loved getting to visit with them.

Loved this rental!

This was the perfect rental for my family of 5! All the basic necessities you could need, and then some. The owner was so nice and helpful. We rented a boat and he came to help us with the mooring whips because we had never used them. Such a cute little house in a great area of the lake! It was so peaceful in the mornings and afternoons! The beds were comfy, too! 5 stars from us!

Great Location

Beautiful views, deck and yard leading to waterfront; enjoyed the kayaks & lifejackets( lots of sizes!). We enjoyed the gas grill plus large gas griddle! We had everything we could need! The bedroom with bunk beds & regular bed is cramped size ( no place to hang clothes due to full of life jackets hanging). The 2 bathrooms are small and open into the main living space.
