The Best Little Shorehouse in Texas

Welcome to this early 1900's historical log cabin that was once owned by Judge Calvin R. Starnes (1885-1956). “Starnes was an influential character in Texas politics in the 30’s and 40’s. He was an LBJ mentor and involved in the push for funding for Mansfield Dam along with Lyndon Johnson and US Senator JJ Mansfield... It’s been said Johnson received the blessing of the Texas Democratic elites to run for a US Senate seat in Judge Starnes’ lakeside cabin in Volente.” -Will Taylor

Cheerful 3-bedroom lake house with pool

This lake house is our family’s happy place! You can grill under the covered pavilion with outdoor ceiling fans, roast marshmallows in the firepit, play in the private pool, swim off the dock and try our 2 kayaks. Fun facts: There are 2 bathrooms which are located inside of 2 of the bedrooms. So whoever is in the 3rd bedroom, will have to sneak through a bedroom to get to one of the bathrooms. Quirky- but FUN. The path to the lake is private but steep with loose gravel.
