Serene Lake LBJ: A 1950s A-Frame Escape with Stunning Views
Reconnect with nature and enjoy swimming and fishing from your own dock
Hill Country Serenity A-Frame on Lake LBJ








About
Very private beautifully refurbished 1950’s A-frame on Lake LBJ with stunning views. No recent flooding on this lake (LBJ). Catch your first fish or a stringer from the bank and enjoy the wildlife and peaceful setting from the back deck. Pelicans share your fishing territory with herons, turtles, geese and hawks. Bring your bikes and ride or walk to the pedestrian bridge swing. CR301 is a sublime natural experience in itself! Canoe, SUP, floats, & fishing gear provided.
Good to know
-This video from a neighboring Airbnb shows what it's like to be on the water here: https://youtu. be/s2BqrCeFGL8 -The entire second floor is a large bedroom where there is a new memory foam king bed and a full size futon. -There is a dedicated nook with desk and a large window to distract you from work, also a full bathroom with new corner shower. -The rainfall-style shower head in both bathrooms has strong hot water. -This property has the fastest internet provider in the area, although occasionally there can be an interruption in service. -Downstairs has a new fold out couch with upgraded memory foam queen mattress, this is not your grandma's fold out bed! -There is also a smaller futon which could sleep a child.
Other Details to Note
-Guests will be required to sign a release via email before entering/accessing the property. -Houses on and near the lake are known to attract abundant wildlife, including insects such as little flies and spiders. We have found we can avoid the little flies most efficiently by leaving lights off outside and near windows. -This is REAL country. We occasionally have a squirrel or other critters that like the place too. We discourage them from coming to check things out and encourage them to leave, but, as a city girl, I finally accepted that the critters will come by out here. For example, I think we are on a skunk’s regular path for foraging. Sitting on the deck at dusk, he will occasionally walk past the deck sniffing the dirt. If this type of encounter isn’t for you, you may want to go to Fredericksburg or somewhere less wild. -Lake LBJ is part of the Highland Lakes chain and is managed by the Lower Colorado River Authority or LCRA. There are two lakes and dams higher in the chain that feed LBJ and the LCRA uses these dams, especially Buchanan Dam, to generate hydroelectric power by releasing water. This is what the locals call "generating" and it creates wonderful rapids right in front of this property due to the large granite boulders. This is a special and unique feature of this property, that you can step directly onto the granite from the dock, no swimming through rapidly moving water to get to a rock to sit on and enjoy the swirling water. LCRA does not publish its schedule for generating, but, to date, generating takes place daily for several hours and then the rapids slow down to stillness again. -The cabin is nice and cozy with one large room upstairs and a full bathroom with shower on each floor, no tub. -The ceiling on both floors is 7’ high, those over 6’ tall will need to duck to enter the stairs doorway which is 6’ high. Once through the doorway, no more height restrictions, there is no ceiling on the stairs, it is open to the upstairs room.

Neighborhood
This area is what you definitely would classify as “country living”. To get here, you travel down a beautiful, curvy country road with cattle guards and the occasional black cow or turtle in the road that you might need to maneuver around. Once here, during the week it is very quiet because most people are weekenders. Come Thursday, you start to see a little more activity, but it always stays very peaceful, nothing like a resort, although you will see grandparents and grand-kids driving by on golf carts. You have privacy in this home including from the porch with an empty fenced lot to one side and a seldom used home next door. The rental next door's access to the water is around a corner and screened by trees and bushes. You have use of our canoe and foam floats, but also, canoes, kayaks, and paddle boats are available for rent at Inks Lake State Park, minutes away. Legends Golf Course is 15 miles away in nearby Kingsland. You can get anywhere on Lake LBJ from our neighborhood boat launch. There are fun places to motor up to that serve food, supplies, and have bands on weekends. One will even deliver groceries to your docked boat! The antiquing in this area is truly amazing. Very reasonable prices at most Burnet shops. My antique dealer friend and I have not even explored Kingsland yet because there are such great finds in Burnet, it takes a couple of days to finish and we run out of time. Start with the Knot Hole!
