About the host

Hosted by Kate Ganter

Hi guys, I'm Kate, and I'll be your host if you'd like to come stay at the Ganter Haus. I'm originally from Odessa but am living in the Austin area these days. When I'm not kayaking around the lake, I enjoy renovation projects, hiking, painting, and getting stressed out by college football.

If you have any questions about the home or the area, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Why they chose this property

This house has been in my family for thirty years, and it's really a second home to me. We spent every summer here, holidays, long weekends... we were always at the lake. While everyone was working from home in 2020, my brothers and I gave the place some much-needed TLC, and we're so excited to be able to share the new and improved lakehouse with you and your family!

What makes this property unique

This location really can't be beat. It's on the side of the lake that's nearest to town, so you're only about a ten minute drive from grocery stores, restaurants, and all that the city of Brownwood has to offer. The house is situated so that you have an amazing view of the sunsets over the water from the back patios and huge rear windows. We're on the deepest part of the lake and are less than a mile away from a public boat ramp.

The house itself is pretty cool, too. The huge kitchen is so nice for large groups, and the separate bunkhouse/game room gives everyone plenty of room to have fun or relax on their own schedule.

But really, you're coming here for the lake. And we have a pretty sweet dock. Whether you're just looking for swimming and fun in the sun, somewhere to park the boat, a great fishing spot, or the best seats in the house for the beautiful sunsets, this is the spot. It's a short walk down a paved ramp and has slips for two boats and two jetskis. I recommend bringing down a cooler and speaker, because you'll want to stay a while.
