Cute and very clean cabin, easy walk on the property down to the lake, close walk to local park. We had a great stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tyler R. Feb 16, 2025 Liked: Communication Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Good experience but not factual The little house is cute but far from most things. Thought the hot tub was in the backyard from the pictures but it's not, it's a shared space. Thought it was easy access to the lake but it was not and there isn't a fire pit. For 600 for the weekend it sure doesn't fit the description. ##### Tyler R. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Korli K.

The property is clean and cozy with everything you need. Beds were comfortable and the location right on Lake Buchanon can't be beat. And Buffy and John were fantastic hosts. Very friendly and accommodating, responsive and helpful beyond expectations! Thanks for a wonderful getaway. ##### Korli K. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shana L. Jul 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great place to stay on Lake Buchanan It seems that we were the first ones to stay at the Roadhouse. It was well stocked with pots & pans, utensils, towels, and cleaning supplies. Very clean. The bathroom did not have a curtain or blinds, so our daughter made a window covering out of a towel. We did know that there were other guests on the property, but we didn’t realize that they were on the other side of the wall. We could hear talking early in the morning, but nothing bothersome, but just be aware. Overall, it’s a great place to stay for the lake. Just research how low the lake will be if you plan on having a leisurely walk along the bank. Oh!!! Don’t lock yourself out like I did! I had to charge my phone and all information was on it—thank goodness for iWatches!!! Buffy was great about getting the info to us so we could get back in. ##### Shana L.
