About this property

Lake Buchanan Waterfront B & R Lodge

The Lake is Full Come and enjoy our piece of paradise that is again a full lake.
Perfect home for group up to 8 people. Located on the waters edge of Lake Buchanan. This home has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. We do not allow extra guest due to our septic system capability. The home features a large family room with a wood burning fireplace and a large fully furnished kitchen. There is a deck across the back that attaches to a very long pier that goes out to another 8x8 deck over the water for sunning or fishing. The property sits on 17 acres and offers peace and serenity across the water from a large ranch. For larger parties enquire about our cabin The Lone Eagle Lodge, which can sleeps 6 people and is located next door. There is plenty of room for bringing your own boat or you can rent a boat nearby. The waterfront is a gradual slope for ease of swimming from your own private beach. Lots of room for the kids to bring their bikes and be able to ride on blacktop drives in an enclosed area and plenty of space to play.. Pets are welcome with a daily pet fee of $40 per night per pet. The home is basically a handicapped accessible property with single story living and level enter-ways. This is the perfect "get away" for a small group or larger group by taking both properties.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Family Retreat

My wife, along with our son, his wife, and their 3 young children utilized this property for a long weekend to kick off spring break. We were able to fish, use our kayaks, and let the kids play around the water. The property was just what we needed and had plenty of room inside and outside of the house.

Peaceful on the lake

We were warned that the lake was down 20ft and the owner was so kind and offered a full refund, but we were just happy to return to this beautiful home as we had done in 2008. The house is immaculate. It is in close proximity to local wineries. It is oh so quiet.

Thank you for wanting to come and enjoy the peace and quiet of our place on the lake. Even thought we do not have much water right now. We are so happy to have you visit again. Can’t wait for your return when the lake is back again.

Relaxing weekend on the Lake

The whole family loved this place, so beautiful and relaxing. My room faced the porch with pier ; the waves lapping the shore was tranquil. We fished mostly but wished we had taken a boat or something to be in the water. The AC works great as it was very hot in July. The wifi is not very strong but it did not bother us. We really did not leave the property much except to go to HEB in Kingsland and mountain biking nearby. Would definitely love to go back.

So much fun!

Our family loved this property so much! Once we got there Alan showed us around to give us the ins & outs. First off, the home looked & smelled very clean, and it was so spacious! The pictures do not do it justice. The wifi worked well enough for us, but we hardly used it because we were too busy enjoying the back patio & dock. Even though it rained all weekend that didn’t stop the guys from fishing off the dock. The weather cleared up on our checkout day - Alan & Sherri were so kind & let us stay a little longer to enjoy the beautiful weather. It was hard to come back to west Texas after a weekend like that, but we will definitely be planning another trip to this location in the near future!

Family get away

Our family get away was unfortunately cut short there and we had to get back home, but we plan to return as soon as possible! The owner Sherri is so gracious and welcomed us immediately! The Crawford property is perfect for all families to get away from it all! I think the pictures didn’t do this place justice! It’s really cute and laid out perfectly for families to relax and kick back at the lake. Kids will enjoy seeing their horses and the deer roaming the property too. Great spot for little ones to splash in the water and fish off the dock. The cabin had everything a family or group would need for cooking, 3 bedrooms, plus one extra twin bed.

About the host

Hosted by Sherri Crawford

Host profile image
We bought the property in 1992 and added the guest houses in 2006. I specialize in Waterfront Properties for Sale and Vacation Rentals in the Highland Lakes area.

Why they chose this property

We live on 19 acres with over 1000 feet of water front on Lake Buchanan. After several years, we built a Guest House for our family to come primarily over the holidays. Now we want to share this unique property surrounded by the Hill Country to others.

What makes this property unique

We live on 19 acres in the Hill Country. With over 1000 feet of shoreline on Lake Buchanan the view is fantastic. At B&R Lodge there is over a 100 foot pier that reaches out into the lake, perfect for relaxing with that morning cup of coffee or winding down with that evening beverage. In the spring, the wild flowers are beautiful and as the summer progresses, the lake activities with swimming, boating and fishing makes this an all around Great Place to visit.
