Jul 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Such a cute house, and all everything you needed. The walk to the water wasn’t bad at all. It was very enjoyable and love that it was dog friendly so the pups could enjoy the outside too. ##### Stephanie C. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anuja N. Apr 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### What a wonderful getaway place by the lake! We enjoyed our stay so much ! Jessica , our host, had the house well stocked with anything we might have needed to have a carefree stay and small details like a bluetooth speaker , bug repellents are so well appreciated! The beds were so comfortable to sleep on. The outdoor space was so well set up for us to enjoy nature. Bluebonnets were in full bloom ( April) too adding more beauty. Would definitely recommend this place! I will just warn about the bugs for people who cannot stand them at all. Keep the doors closed as much as possible after sunset to prevent bugs from crawling in. ##### Anuja N. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Norma W. Jul 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had the best time, the location, the home, the property was perfect for our family of 6 with 2 dogs. The lake is up and right under the doc, we fished and caught quite a few catfish and saw so many different fish and wild life in the water. We paddle boarded out into the cove during sunset.When one of the boards popped the owner's brought us 2 more, so we could continue our fun!! By far one of the best stays we have done. The owners have literally everything you could need or want. Everyone age 70 to 2 year old had plenty of entertainment! So many personal touches. Highly recommend. Loved this home!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9188a178-ae42-480f-b84d-619dd535f84b-1753477505914.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Norma W.

Loved the sweet basket of snacks and basket of things for my pup that traveled with us! ##### Kendra H. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric M. Jul 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family friendly, plenty to do. If you need a place on the lake that will fit the whole family and your dog, this is the place. Great care and detail was taken into creating an environment for young kids. The fencing and gate at the water keep your mind at ease. Fish from the dock, explore the lake with the kayaks, float around the water, then hit the hot tub. It’s all there. ##### Eric M.

The home owners were fantastic and very helpful. We had a great experience! ##### matt s. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam C. Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great weekend at the lake We enjoyed our time at this property on Lake Buchanan. Jessica was very responsive in all communications. We were looking for an enclosed property on the lake to take our dogs with us and this house hit the mark. Property was fully fenced and house was spotless with many seating areas. Although the lake is very low and doesn’t reach the property, it worked out well because the water is a short walk down the lake bed which created a beach area to play with the dogs. We would stay at this location again. ##### Adam C. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy C. Aug 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Home House was absolutely beautiful with a large yard and plenty of parking. Host was so kind to leave a goodie basket of snacks. The kitchen was huge and had everything one would need. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to stay in the hill country. ##### Amy C. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher B., Buda, TX Jul 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### PERFECT GETAWAY! We had such a great time at this home! The home was so clean on our arrival. They had EVERYTHING we needed for cooking, playing games, great book selections (“How Do Astronauts Scratch An Itch” is hilarious! On my book order list!) and the hosts even left us some tasty treats! I will even go as far as complimenting the type of hand soap they use because now I’m only getting this brand lol (Mrs Meyers). Believe it or not the hot tub even felt great despite the hot weather but late at night when things cooled down it worked out fine and for a morning dip while watching the sunrise too! The deck has such a beautiful view as well! Our dogs loved the freedom to run and play and due to the completely fenced in property we didn’t have worry about them getting into trouble. These hosts will treat you right so give this place a visit. You won’t regret it! We’ll be back! :) ##### Christopher B.
