Our check in was very easy as well as our communication with the property manager. The house is fully equipped so you can have a fun and relaxed time without having to worry about anything. The house is also conveniently located close to a gas station. The boat ramp is at a short distance from the property making it easier to spend more time at the lake.
The house has a lot of space indoors and outdoors to relax as a group. Unfortunately it rained the entirety of our stay, so we didn’t get to take advantage of the patio, balconies and water toys as we had hoped to. The rooms were clean and comfortable, kitchen very functional. We would definitely stay again in a sunny weekend!
This property is located in a nice area on the lake, not ever really crowded on this area of the lake. This is our second time staying at this home it is well equipped, everything you need for a good time and more.
The location was perfect directly on the water. Nice deck to fish of off and launch the kayaks which were provided by the homeowner. Plus all the life jackets and more. We enjoyed taking the kayaks out to the quiet cove which was perfect for smaller kids . The drive to town was short and there was plenty to do. What a great place to stay!!
We enjoyed the property. Very relaxing. Location was good. Boat dock was good as well. My wife, daughter and myself used the kayaks. My mom caught a bunch of fish in the evening. The only issue we realky had was the upstairs bathroom shower not draining properly causing the tub to fill up. Missing towel bar and some light bulbs that were burned out. The host/owner was very generous with us checking in early and was very accommodating.
Chip was a great guy to work with! House was exactly what was advertised. Peaceful, Clean, Well equipped. This is a real gem!
Thank you, Chip and family for a great week!

We love this place. So cozy! Love the fact that the patio is right by the water. It had everything we needed. Beds were comfy. Everything was cleaned. The extras: Kayak, fishing poles, tubes, board and card games was a plus. The owner was very much flexible and accommodating. Mahalo nui loa for accommodating my Ohana. We truly enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back!

Thanks so much for the feedback, and you are very welcome. It was a pleasure to host your family. (Is your Hawaiian “thank you” a coincidence, or did you know my family was on Kauai while we hosted yours ?!?! ).
We were able to find and access the home easily. We launched our boat at Lake LBJ Marina and took it to the little channel behind the home. The slip was full of algae so we tied up at the dock just fine. It was great to be able to go in and out to the lake. We used the paddle boards that were at the house. There’s so much space at the home but only two tiny bathrooms. The carpet needs some cleaning. We enjoyed the game room on the bottom level.

Summer Vacation 2024
More rustic than expected, water in canal was dead/no flow and lots of algae. Carpet needs replacing. Plenty of spices, pots/pans and dishwasher was excellent. Lots of water toys even a lily pad! Tons of deer and very quiet home. 3rd floor patio needs minor repairs. Slight mold smell in bottom floor and Pac-Man game broken. We had a good time here fishing and relaxing
This was an absolutely amazing getaway for my family, friends and I… the location & property really make for an entire experience in itself. Plenty of space & privacy for everybody to relax, and the views are nice and quiet. The kayaks and paddle boards were such a treat, and a great way to get a morning sunrise and evening sunset workout!!! The patio gave the group a great view of the totality of the April 2024 eclipse! Wonderful spot and several local ducks came “to bed” right on our patio deck during the eclipse darkness.
We had clear starry night skies, and wonderful laughs and smiles around the fire. The extra propane came in handy, thank y’all!!! We were able to enjoy evening fires and cook food on the grill.
Highly recommend this property rental!! I and my family & friends felt very at home, and it was so special for us all. I lost my German shephard a few months ago, and she was expected to be on the trip, so this place really was a spiritual & emotional retreat for me and my grief as well. Thank yall for this affordable, magical opportunity.
The owner provides kayaks, paddleboards, floats, plenty of life vests, fishing poles, floats, bikes, foosball, giant connection four, Jenga, hammock, grill and the perfect outdoor fire pit to sit around and talk or makes s’mores.
The house is in a quiet neighborhood & has waterfront access w/a boat dock & pier. Loved that it was off the beaten path; the owners provide access to their paddle boards and kayaks - an awesome amenity. The home is older & could use some updating, plumbing is slow draining & the decks are in need of repair…the majority of the windows have coverings however they are bamboo/grass and have zero privacy at night. (Master on 3rd floor does have room darkening curtains😊). We would have been much more comfortable with curtains on all windows. The layout of the home would be good for couples, bedrooms are on all 3 levels…but those with younger kids may find it harder. Overall, the cons are overshadowed by the beauty of Lake LBJ! Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home!
This location is great has easy access to a dock and if you have a boat being able to dock it at your location is fabulous. The amount of life jackets an extra items that they have is amazing they also have multiple kayaks and lots of goodies so it is more fun with all of that
This home had the perfect layout for 2 families with young children. Enough room for each to have privacy and room to sit by the water and enjoy the beauty of nature. And so many deer! Thank you.
My family (two adults, two kids) loved our stay at Horseshoe Bay! The house was very clean and just as shown in the pictures. We enjoyed fishing off the back deck and using the tandem canoe. They have EVERYTHING you could want for lake activities — plenty of life jackets, paddle boards, and smaller boats for kids.
We also really enjoyed the proximity to Marble Falls, one of our favorite spots in central Texas.
We would love to come back!
We enjoyed every minute. The house was perfect for our family as far as bedrooms and bathrooms. The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed the wildlife and the teens enjoyed the lake! We hope to go for a second time.
Lots of room in a quiet neighborhood. We visited this house right on a Lake LBJ cove looking for a place for a summer vacation. Marble Falls restaurants are just 15 min away, which we took advantage of. Really enjoyed our stay and Glenn was a great host who communicated all the info we needed before our stay.

About the host
Hosted by Chip
Growing up, our families spent several weeks every year with our cousins at our grandparent's waterfront homes. For my wife it was the Galveston shore, and for me it was the south branch of the Potomac in West Virginia.
Why they chose this property
We couldn't resist the opportunity this home gave us to one day provide the same memories for our family. Renting our home for family reunions is always extra special for us. We know we're helping create memories for your family, just like the memories which led us to buy this property!
What makes this property unique
Texas lake and river shores are often left dry as they battle the local climate. This home is on the shore of one of the very few constant level lakes in Texas, Lake LBJ. The Lower Colorado River Authority manages the dams along the Colorado River to keep this lake level constant year-round.
Another benefit of our location is the LCRA preservation land opposite us on our cove. It delivers a great view of water and preservation land from the back patio and decks, with common sightings of the hill-country wildlife that calls this preservation land home.
