Welcome to the home of the Seven Bass on Inks Lake.
In this spacious two story home located on a private, no wake cove in the exclusive Inks Lake Village. This secluded home resides in a gated community making it the perfect destination for a quiet family get away only ~50 minutes from Austin/Georgetown and surrounded by Inks Lake State Park, voted one of the best and most beautiful state parks in Texas.
The house features 40+ windows most of which face the lake, creating a tranquil setting for your family and guests. You’ll find multiple places to gather inside and outside, including a large, covered patio with a great view of the lake to enjoy the sunrise and your morning coffee.
Inside you’ll find the open floor plan provides comfortable living room, kitchen, dining room and laundry. Your kitchen features a thoughtful layout around the granite island with a broad range of cooking options and amenities. You can cook while watching the kids and entertaining your guests while enjoying a view of the lake. You're also welcome to use the Weber propane grill or wood burning BBQ smoker.
Wide concrete steps provide easy access to the water and boat dock on a private, no-wake cove ideal for swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking or floating peacefully on inner tubes with friends. The dock features plenty of space for sunbathing during the day or star gazing at night. With only one public boat ramp on the lake, boat or jet ski traffic is normally minimal.
Other activities and resources nearby: - Fly fish the highly rated Llano River for Guadalupe Bass, - Tour Hill Country wineries, - Explore underground caves at Longhorn Cavern State Park, - Take the Vanishing Texas River Cruise upriver to see waterfalls, nesting eagles and other wildlife, - Hike the many trails in Inks Lake or Enchanted Rock State Parks, or - Wander into Burnet, Kingsland or Llano for groceries, restaurants and small town shopping.
And, keep an eye out for Texas Hill Country wildlife! You'll likely see ducks, Canadian geese, blue heron, turtles, white tail deer and possibly more during your stay.
Building upon the idea behind Hidden Mickey's at Disney World, there are seven wooden basses hidden in the house, all easily visible from the 1st floor. Someday when we think of one, there will be a grand prize for finding all seven. But for now, you'll just have to celebrate that accomplishment with your family and friends.
Last but not least, your safety is our highest priority! Our cleaning crew thoroughly cleans, disinfects our home, and all cleaning products are hospital-grade and EPA-approved. We have also stocked the house with additional cleaning products for you to use during your stay.
>> Frequently Asked Questions <<
Lake Level: Inks Lake is constant level year round, which means the lake level is carefully managed by the LCRA and varies only 2-3 inches of normal.
Parking: The driveway is steep and can be a minor challenge for the squeamish, but there is parking in front of the house for ~5 cars.
Pets: Your dog is welcome to join you. The yard isn't enclosed by a fence, leash laws are applicable here also, and there is an additional fee.
Boating: Your boat and/or jetski are welcome also. The dock features multiple tie downs. The roads in the village are narrow so we normally recommend boats <22 ft long and driving carefully through the neighborhood.
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation will include damage insurance which covers up to $1,500 of damage to the property.

Great stay! The house was in a great location on the lake. The view was beautiful. To say the home was well stocked is an understatement. It had everything we needed and more! Communication with host was great as well. We would def stay here again.
Very nice house, incredibly clean and well stocked. Really enjoyed the stairs going into the water and the sloped entrance into the lake which made it easy to get into and out of our paddle boards and kayaks.
This is our second year at this property. It has an ideal location on Inks Lake, is clean and well stocked with necessties. We would definitely return for another visit!
Enjoyed the stay. Well appointed and wonderful home with all you need. The listing is very clear on WiFi challenges. Great place to relax and enjoy the lake!
We love staying at Talbot House! Great place to create family memories that will last a lifetime. This was our fourth visit and we will be back next year!!

Chris, Thanks! We also have a few great family memories at Inks. Look forward to your next (5th?) visit.
The property was extremely clean and fully stocked with all of the necessities of home. I would highly recommend this property for anyone seeking a quiet getaway on one of the best lakes in Texas.
We loved our stay in this home! The yard was nice and the location on the lake was quiet! My favorite perk was the boat dock is perfect for sitting out and enjoying the evening without the sun on us while we fished! 🎣
Outstanding lakehouse on the water. The driveway was a little tricky to back a boat into, but if you have the skills, not too crazy. Tons of room, and the boat dock was in a small cove right by the dam. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
My husband, three boys (ages 10, 8, and 4), my 5 year old niece and I spent a wonderful weekend on Inks Lake! We kayaked, fished and swam all day. The house is right on the water, the lake is at a constant level, and the house has so many rooms/beds for various sleeping options. We will definitely be back.
We loved this house!! The finishes are beautiful and we loved staying in a home that was obviously cared for! We had so much fun playing games and floating in the lake!

Thank you for the kind review! Delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay.
Second time we’ve stayed here with my family and my parents. Great setup for multi- family trip. Beautiful spot. Access to water is superb. Porch seating was perfect. We will come again!
Beautiful property on the lake with lots of wildlife activity and a comfortable family home to relax in. The location is very quiet during the winter months, which was just right for us. Close to parks, darn good barbeque and wineries.
We loved the house and we loved the beach entry access to the lake. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Kayaking, canoeing, fishing, yard games ~ all great! We hope to return!
