The Bunkhouse room w/ private beach ON Lake LBJ
Wonderful location, beautiful view, peaceful, and quiet.

Quiet Cove, Dog Friendly
We made some amazing memories at the Quiet Cove! Having access to kayaks, paddle board , and fishing from the dock made our stay so much fun. We ended each day around the fire out on the porch with a guitar, diving with the family. The house is super well stocked which made us feel like we were visiting a friend’s home, not just a rental. Thank you for an incredible stay.

NEW! Waterfront property w/ fire pit & corn hole!
My family and friends had a great experience staying here, great views, nice and outstanding decoration inside the houses, really liked the environment

LBJ lakefrnt stuns. Natural, peaceful getaway
We were looking for a peaceful, private place to unwind and reconnect with nature. This was the most amazing place to do that. All the little details, from having binoculars and a bird book to multiple different water activities (canoeing, etc), coffee, water filter, beautifully placed decor, and SO much more added up to an unforgettable experience. Carleen went above and beyond with her communication before we arrived and during our stay. Full of information and so helpful! The bed was comfortable, the towels fluffy, and the back porch was the perfect place to watch the wildlife on the water. The pictures do not do this wonderful home justice. We’ve already decided this will be an annual trip for us!

Close to golf, beer, wine and offers car charger
Our stay at Shelley's place was lovely! The house is so spacious, was sparkling clean, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the grill and amazing views. It's located in a quiet and peaceful area, perfect to relax and have a good night's sleep. When I first saw the listing, I was a bit concerned about how comfortable the sofa bed in bedroom 4 would be. It turned out that I picked this room for me and my husband: it's spacious, has its own bathroom and the bed is VERY comfy, in addition to the best views! The other bedrooms were also great, cozy and with perfect levels privacy. Everyone was incredibly pleased with the accommodations. Communication with Shelley was excellent, she is a fantastic host!

Secluded Lake Travis retreat in Serene Cove w/pool
Siren's Cove was a great weekend getaway! It had everything we were looking for in such a beautiful location. The host was easy to get ahold of and was always quick to respond to any questions/concerns we had. I would highly recommend this place for anybody that's looking for a great/quiet weekend trip!

Boat Dock Road House
We had a great time at Lacey’s place. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. It was a weekend girls trip and the house had enough beds that our party of 8 slept comfortably. Would recommend to anyone who wants a nice and peaceful trip to Lake Travis.

The Lake Shack on Lake Travis
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home! The location is unbeatable—right on the water, with a private area perfect for fishing and unwinding in total peace. The house itself is cozy, spotless, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. But the real highlight is the patio—spacious, inviting, and offering stunning views that make it the perfect spot to relax. The host was incredibly accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be coming back!

Pool/hot tub, 2 master suites, lake, beach, golf!
We stayed at the Oasis for Spring Break! The house was perfect for two families (4 adults, 3 kids). Having two master bedrooms was awesome. The pool/hot tub area were gorgeous and perfectly heated. We stayed active with pickleball, golf, frisbee golf, and walks. We appreciated tons of extra towels for the pool and well thought out amenities. Thank you Sydney, it was fabulous!

We loved the place! The view from the house is priceless and sitting on the terrace watching all kind of birds is the best start of the day you can have.

Magnolia Lakehouse
This was the gathering space for our family and friends as we prepped to celebrate the union of our daughter and her beau. we had family dinners, game night, serious talks😀😍and celebrated the union after it occurred. great back yard to enjoy. plenty of space for us to fit comfortably.

Lake Travis Sunset Getaway
Great place. Beautiful view. Could not find a light switch for any outdoor lights for the back porch. There is a unit attached to the home. The outside entry is on the right side of the house or through the garage. There is also another door in the garage that opens to the formal dining room of the airbnb house. So make sure you lock that door from the garage to the formal dining room. Just for peace of mind. We had no problems. P.S. don't open the door between the laundry room and the bedroom it also leads to the attached unit.

Luxury in Spacious Home with Tesla Fast Charger
Beautiful home. Owners made everything super easy and even allowed a early check-in if we needed.

The Cabins at Angel Springs - Butterfly - CABIN B
I had an amazing stay! The place was exactly as described. Check in was smooth and communication by the host was quick and helpful. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

Modern Lago Villa | Pool | Parks | Games
Nelma's home was incredible. It truly exceeded my expectations. It's a space surrounded by nature where you can forget about the hustle and bustle of everyday life! It's also designed to relax and entertain children. I found a place where my daughters, my pet, my sisters, and I could share quality family time and enjoy our free time just a few hours from The Woodlands! We would definitely return. By the way beds were very confortable and main bathroom has a Jacuzzi that can give us a warm and relaxing bobble bath!! Try it!! Tanks you Nelma and Mona!
Your guide to Lake Buchanan
All About Lake Buchanan
Created in 1939 with the building of the Buchanan Dam on the Colorado River in Texas Hill Country, Lake Buchanan is a reservoir in Texas located 60 miles northwest of the capital Austin and 95 miles north of San Antonio. It is the first and one of the largest of the Texas Highland Lakes at thirty miles long and just under five miles wide. Visitors are drawn to the area for its extensive 124 miles of shoreline, making it an excellent destination for recreational boaters, fishing fans, and seekers of other leisure activities. The lake sits over 1,000 feet above sea level and the Colorado River flowing into Lake Buchanan winds its way through pristine undeveloped ranch land. There are also four unique waterfalls and cliffs where bald eagles soar high above you. Granite gravel shores along portions of the lake also provide peaceful spots for swimming, observing nature, or just relaxing in peaceful surroundings.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Buchanan
The best time to visit Lake Buchanan is in the spring and fall, when temperatures are pleasant and there is limited rainfall. Fishing striped bass, the primary activity on the lake, is also best in the spring and the fall. Summer is quite hot, with the highest average temperatures almost hitting the 100 mark Farenheit in July. Despite the heat, locals enjoy summer events such as concerts, boat races on the lake, and local art shows without too much regard for a little sweat here and there. Winter months are temperate, with lows not daring to go below the 50 mark even in January.
Top things to do in Lake Buchanan
Fishing on the Lake
Fishing for striped bass is the most popular activity on the lake, and there are a number of tours and rental boats available. You will need a Texas Parks and Wildlife fishing license, which can easily be purchased online for a small fee. Most boat tours will offer equipment, ice chests and will even clean your fish for you before you head back to your cabin in Lake Buchanan.
Texas Hill Country Wineries
Take a tour of the Texas Hill Country wine trail. Although Texas isn’t necessarily known for its wines, there are three well-regarded wineries near the lake that are worth the visit. In fact, Texas Wine Country is often compared to California's Napa Valley. The verdant Colorado River Valley and Lake Buchanan provide an excellent environment for growing a variety of grapes, which produce a number of wonderful local wines.
Longhorn Cavern State Park
Developed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the park’s star attraction is Longhorn Cavern, an underground wonder created by the dissolving and cutting action of an ancient river. Descend 130 feet below the surface, following the path of an ancient underground riverbed through room after room of geological wonders. Take a guided cave tour, hike a Hill Country trail, and admire some of Texas’ best examples of historic CCC architecture.
