Things to know
This home is unavailable for special events such as bachelor parties, fantasy football drafts, prom, homecoming, or senior graduation parties.

Please be aware of your surroundings, take caution while driving at night and supervise your children at all times while outdoors. In addition, all properties do utilize pest control maintenance on a regular basis, BUT this does not guarantee pests/bugs/critters will not be visible.

Wonderful Hill Country Get-Away on the River
The house was perfect for our extended family. It was wonderful to be right on the river. We enjoyed the elevated deck, the fire pit, and it was great to have access to kayaks.

Wonderful property
We had a great stay. Loved the fenced in yard for the pups. Having the water back up the house was a treasure. We loved the elevated deck over the water. Nice, quiet location. We rented a boat for the day and had a great time. The bunk room for the kids was perfect. The five kids that went had fun sleeping together and playing ping pong and pool. Having TVs in every bedroom was nice. Would rent again.

Great Family Vacation Spot
The lakehouse is beautiful. We enjoyed basking in the sun and kayaking right from the backyard. 4 star is due to some housekeeping items that could of used a more thorough attention that we had to handle ourselves in order to be able to use the backyard. Definitely would recommend.

creating great lake memories
This home had everything our family needed to be comfortable, have fun, and spend good quality time together. From the fire pit right on the water, to the big yard for our dog, to the boathouse deck, to the great spaces inside, our whole family had a fantastic time. Aside from being lakefront with an incredible view down the lake, we loved how close we were to Inks Lake State Park, the Longhorn Caverns, and restaurants of downtown Kingsland. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful waterfront property. Neighbors have a pool with a waterfall which makes the wonderful backyard even more enjoyable with the sound of running water.

Great house rental on LBJ
This is our second year to rent this house and we love it. Nice setup for our group and the yard and dock are great. Only complain is the boat lift this is the second year its had problems. Hope they can get that fixed once and for all.

Quick Getaway
Spent 2 nights at this house. It was much bigger than I expected. Kids loved the foosball, pool table and ping pong table. One recommendation is to update the board games/puzzles. There were some missing parts. Overall great house, great location, look forward to visiting it in the summertime when it's warmer and we can really enjoy the water activities

It was awesome to be able to bring the dogs! The ramp was perfect for the dogs to get in and out of the water. Tracy was very friendly and very accommodating. Fantastic rental for a family vacation.

Great location and layout, but…
The location and access to the water was perfect. Also the layout of the home is perfect for families. But, the smell…. The smell coming from the front of the house is horrible. I had to buy air fresheners just to tolerate it. They do allow pets which is great, but there is a very strong urine and mildew smell coming from the rugs and the rec room. It was so bad we couldn’t even enjoy playing ping pong and had to keep the door shut. If they can get the smell under control, it would be a perfect rental.

Just Awesome
We have stayed in Ski Shores twice now this year. We LOVE it. It really is the perfect place. It is only my husband, myself and our dog. And yes it is quite big for us but it offered everything we need and want. The yard is great, big trees for plenty of shade. One of these days we will use the fire pit right by the water and dock. The boat dock is perfect. We require the boat lift and it worked great. The boat launch is literally 5 houses down. The house has everything you need for any type of cooking/ grilling. The only issue we had was they only had two kitchen towels. I’m sure they will fix that.

Family Get Together
We really enjoyed the location of the property, it was beautiful. There was plenty of room to accommodate everyone. Everyone had a blast enjoying the amenities and the lake. The main reasons for a one star deduction is because the inner shower curtains were disgusting with yellow/pink mildew and dark mold looking spots all over them, the master room had a duvet cover on the bed with no duvet inside (and there was no extra comforter of any kind), and quite a few of the utensils/dishes in the drawers/cabinets were dirty with dried food stuck on them. Hopefully these few issues will be resolved because it sure was a lovely place overall.

Nice and then not
Stayed September 11-16 with family. House is fine, kitchen could use organizing and additions but we got meals done. Beds are firm/ hard and sheets are thin but again do the job. This was our second time to this home and sadly I am unsure if we will return. We love that they allow dogs because one of ours loves the water. Property managed both times by Vacasa and the customer service is now outsourced. We lost hot water completely on Saturday. After texting with customer service, troubleshooting for 30 minutes then calling and insisting on someone local we got maintenance and a new water heater. Locals are wonderful and I was very pleased with them. We lost Saturday evening dealing with this and had icy showers. We asked for compensation for interruption and frustration. Vacasa felt it didn’t warrant it. They never reached out to see if it was resolved and my email request was answered by text saying problem had been fixed with no consideration for the inconvenience.This is true but bad customer service.
