Classic Lakefront Cottage w/ Private Dock, Lovely Lake View, Backyard & WiFi

Little House on LBJ

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

A throwback to the simple vacations of yesteryear, this waterfront cottage on the shores of Lake LBJ is a place to swim off the dock, barbecue in the Texas sunshine, and dine on the grass in the shade of the trees.

This single-level, lakefront home is located on the northern shores of Lake LBJ, on a grassy piece of property with its own dock on the water. As you come back up the grounds from your morning swim, you'll be greeted by central air conditioning, free WiFi, and a window-lined sun room where you can kick back on the sofa, watch Netflix on the flatscreen TV, or simply take in the beautiful lake view. You can prepare an afternoon feast in the classic kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a circular dining table for four. Or, head out back to light the gas grill, throw on a few steaks, and dine at the table in the grass.

Adorable, vintage little house at the water’s edge was comfy and close to everything we needed… and you can use the private dock right next door until the closest one is repaired from flood damage

The cabin was very clean and sits on a beautiful, shaded lawn right on the Colorado River. Very peaceful and quiet and our dogs loved the big fenced back yard. Will not hesitate to book this place again!

We had a wonderful stay and loved the location. Our dog, Hubert, had an absolute blast and was able to run around play in the large fenced yard. The house is located on a quiet street and is on the water. We stayed on a holiday weekend and watched fireworks from the backyard, as well as people boating and playing on the water. The owner is the sweetest and checked with us to make sure we didn't need anything. It's a great little place with beautiful views. We will likely be back.

Just Beautiful

The great location on. the water.was special. The grill lighter issue was disappointing. Then also the grill was dirty. Some feel grills are suppose to be covered with old grease, I don't. It's easy to keep the grill burnt off. Thank you.

So we had trouble sleeping ...

The large pecan limb pictured above the roof actually bangs on the roof. The volume on the metal roof ranged from a kitchen pan to loud band's bass drum. Needs tree work and a landscaping cleanup.

cozy but lacking

The house is pretty accurate with what is in the pictures and descriptions on the web-site. House is small but cozy, perfect for a couple. The area is pretty much as expected with many homes around, easy access to the water and not too far from town. However, as clean as the house was in the obvious areas, better cleaning was needed in corners high and low, around windows and under cabinets beds and tables due to cobwebs. The patio furniture was covered in bird droppings and spider webs. I also felt that someone from local cleaning/maintenance crew came into the house without my knowledge on two separate occasions, but when I called number to VACASA to report this, they investigated and reassured me that no body had come into the home although a large pot with a strainer was there on day one and had disappeared on day two and the house smelled strong of fresh mothballs on day three when there had been no smell prior to that. I liked the house and location but I would consider something else because of the uncomfortable feeling we got that someone may have come int while we were out, twice.

Very clean , nice area . Awesome bedding . The place is beautiful. We booked this because it had a dock . I did call 2 times because they hadn’t sent me the code to enter and he couldn’t find my booking info . But he finally found it and sent it to me . Everything was awesome . My husband had a knee replacement so we just wanted to be in one spot to lodge and fish from the dock . No one told me that the dock was broken half is in the water . Unable to fish there we had to go elsewhere to do some fishing which we didn’t want to do due to having to walk far to fishing places . I wish someone had told us that before we booked it . We definitely would have booked elsewhere. It’s a lovely place, clean cozy etc. it was too late to change it . I have several people interested in this place but I have to be truthful and not mislead them about the dock . Thank you

The property was beautiful. Cottage was charming but lacked expected provisions (no salt or pepper, there were no games or reading material, the grill's ignitor didn't work but with call to your service a lighter was provided 40 minutes later. The peace was not there , with construction next door. And not expected real tranquel setting was disturbed by a great deal of boat & water sports equipment on the water. This was very much so with a boat landing immediately across the water. May be much better at another time of year when young vacationers wouldn't be so very present.

The cabin is nice and cozy. Clean. Comfy bed. The sofa and chair in the living room are super comfortable. The views from the living room are amazing. Enjoyed my coffee and book in the morning. Bring a lighter if you want to BBQ as the ignition is broken on the grill. No biggie. The dock was broken apart and we weren’t told about it. Apparently it’s getting repaired this next week so for those of you in the future it should be good. Vacasa was pretty bad on communication. They finally had a local person respond to us 22 hours later. In the end they gave us a credit of 25 a night for amenity fee refund which we were thankful for. We didn’t get to swim or enjoy the river much because no way to get in and out. But still a nice place. We caught a bunch of perch from the shore and one catfish. We would come back when the deck is fixed to enjoy fishing, swimming and kayaking on that part of it.

The little house we stayed in has good water access. My husband enjoyed the fishing and all the boats and jet ski's. It has a pretty green yard where we enjoyed seeing the ducks and squirrels play.

Nice Property

To help you about location, there was a tiny, and I mean tiny, lot for sale adjacent to this property. Their price was a whopping $1.1million just for the lot. This property is much larger and is beautifully landscaped. We spent most of our time outside under the wonderful shade. We met the owners who were staying at their main house next door and were wonderful people! Great experience! No complaints

Wonderful Relaxing Getaway

My husband and i really needed a few days away to relax with the dogs. This place could not be more perfect. Beautiful yard, great view of the water and the dock is in great shape. Our dogs loved it and even seemed more relaxed. The kitchen was great, enough room to cook your favorite vacation meals. The place may not be new but it’s super clean and cozy. The bed is extremely comfortable and it was so quiet we slept great. We will be back as soon as possible!

Nice place

Water was extremely hard, couldn’t even shower with how bad it smelt.Gas grill ignition is broke but there was a lighter under the pit that I got to spark a bit and get it lit. Other than that the place was nice, we enjoyed our stay but if we were there more than one night we would have had to find a shower somewhere else

We loved how we were on the water with a private dock and beautiful back yard. The Cottage was very quaint, but needs some updating and a once thorough cleaning before quests arrive - dead bugs (better than live) laying around in the floors. Toilet needs some repair work. And where to park was a bit confusing. But overall - loved the location and the veiw on the lake!!!!

Great weekend getaway!

My husband and I, and our little dog stayed here to celebrate our anniversary. It was a clean, quiet place and we enjoyed sitting outside on Saturday afternoon watching all the boat and jet ski traffic. Children's laughter in the distance was so enjoyable. I would highly recommend this home.

This house was fully equipped in the kitchen. The bed was extremely comfortable. The back yard was on the beautiful lake. It was a great place and I hope to stay there again.
