Private Deck & Grill: Sunny Lakefront Escape

Amazing property!

Here's what we liked:- The property is really nice. Great deck, great patio, great dock and water access. Dogs had a blast.- The rooms and living spaces on the whole were above expectations- The water was very nice and easy to wade in- The location is alright. There's an HEB within 10 minutes for grocery needs.- Sunsets and weather were fantastic in MayHere's what we didn't like:- Our room (Bottom floor by the yard) had a very loud AC unit that made sleeping difficult/worse. - The other room on the ground floor had a door that wouldn't latch/shut. This is where we roomed our baby and it made it difficult to insulate them from noise.- There is a huge diversity of restaurants around, so expect to drive a while if you want options.- If you want to kayak/canoe out of this dock, you should expect to encounter a lot of wakeboat/jetski traffic. The river has some decent width, but not enough to overcome constant wakeboats.Overall it was a wonderful property, but I think an AC unit is due for replacement and left a smudge on an otherwise great trip and a great lakehouse.

This is a nice property, but there are some rustic elements to it. You are in the hill country, so there are bugs! Bring bug spray. The sunsets are amazing, don't miss that! The property is great but definitely needs some TLC in the bathrooms and on the deck outside. Railings around the deck were loose, which seemed unsafe, and the entire deck area needs to be refinished. Deck furniture needs a refresh as well. We had a great time and overall the property was wonderful.

This place could be really good but sadly due to the July floods in Texas the beach area is completely flooded and that was a big reason we got this place. The lake and the dock are amazing and also pretty private. The backyard is not fenced off and my dog actually ran away and we had to search for him for hours.

We just returned from a very nice stay at this property on Lake Buchanan. Manager communicated well during 3 nights. House is attractive with great lake view. We used main 2nd floor bedroom with fabulous view. Kitchen was adequate with spices and cookware. Propane grill on back deck (which is large) worked well and we made multiple meals on it. However, as another recent guest noted there are multiple small maintenance issues. They dont cause significant problems. But, they should have been fixed prior to our stay. They are just regular home maintenance things in Texas. The ones worth mentioning are:-Rear deck needs to be resurfaced since much paint peeled away and dry boards-Swing cushions covered with insects and spider webs so not usable as is-Swings repaint since could cause splinters-2nd floor deck overgrown vines (I cut), no place sit, also resurface-vines overgrown driveway and steep stairs to house (only access) so I cut them back-provide access garage into house. Now, door locked-propane grill works but inside shelf broken and fell out-kitchen oven is so worn no decals on its controls so have to guess what to use. Also door leaks a lot of heat.-about 1/2 cookware is far too worn to use and should be tossed out** None of this prevents enjoying an excellent stay as the house is clean and comfortable in a great location. **I assign it 8/10 now. Fix the issues to go to 9.
