Nestled just an hour away from the bustling Texas State Capital, this sprawling 10-acre property sleeps up to 30 guests comfortably, with the option to accommodate 6 more using twin cots. Just be sure to input the correct number of guests when you make your booking so the bedding for guests 31-36 will be set up! Whether you're dreaming of a stunning venue for small weddings or events, a large family holiday home, or a productive corporate getaway, this place has it all!

Enjoy a gently sloping, terraced lawn, granite rock cliffs to add to the scenery, private beaches to soak up the sun, and a winding road leading to your private boathouse. The boat ramp makes it easy to get out onto the water, and the private 600-foot jetty creates this massive hidden cove, perfect for swimming and fishing. We also offer our guests free use of our kayaks during your stay. And let's not forget the incredible view of the historic Buchanan Dam – you won't get enough of it!

Now, let's talk perks! You've got three separate dwellings perched high up on the lot, a fabulous boathouse with a stellar observation deck, cozy beach baths, and even a screened-in open-air canteen for those lazy afternoons. There's an outdoor volleyball court, and a game room that houses a pool table, shuffleboard, and foosball table, plus you'll find fun extras like horseshoe pits and disc golf, ensuring endless entertainment.

The main house is a showstopper with eight bedrooms and 15 beds, including 4 Kings upstairs and 8 Queens downstairs, plus 6 twin cots available upon request. With plenty of room to accommodate up to 30 guests, the house features large rooms and expansive decks, perfect for relaxing and unwinding.

Cooking for a crowd is a breeze with three fully equipped kitchens spread across the property. In the main house, you'll find a large, commercial-grade kitchen, perfect for preparing meals for a large group. Featuring two full-sized stainless steel fridge/freezer combos and plenty of cupboard space, you’ll have everything you need to keep snacks and ingredients within reach. The guest house and garage apartment each feature their own kitchens, giving your group the ultimate flexibility when it comes to meal prep and gathering together.

There is another bedroom in the single-story guest house that has 2 beds and can sleep 4 additional guests. The garage apartment has another bedroom, and can sleep up to 2 guests at a time.

Please note that there are electrical plugs available under the gazebo for your convenience. We also have two picnic tables set up in the area. While there is a small space available for yoga, there is a larger area located above the boat area, which provides more room. Although there are no plugs at the top, you can easily run an extension cord from the bottom area if needed.

Parking:
You can park over by the garage (6-7 vehicles) and 5-6 vehicles in the driveway. Please do not park on street, on the grass, block sidewalks, parking signs, fire hydrants, and neighbors’ driveways to avoid your vehicle being towed.

There is a private boat ramp into the lake, so you can bring your own boats. We also offer free use of our kayaks, which are stored in the boathouse.

Great for a large family.
We had a wonderful week. The highlight of our stay was the wonderful and sweet lady who takes care of the property and cleans, which is a tremendous job. From beginning to end, she was an incredible help. I hope the owners realize what an asset she is. The size of the house, the number of bedrooms and baths, and the land to roam and play in are excellent. It needs some updating, but we will definitely go back. It is fantastic for a large family to enjoy. The only thing that should be changed in the listing to show accurately is the exterior photos to depict how the property looks now so people viewing the images have an accurate idea of what the lack of watering during the Texas drought has sadly done.
