About this property
Scenic views on a quiet fishing cove. Boat Slip, Kayaks, Peddle Boat, SUPs.
Just 45 min northwest of Austin, TX on Lake LBJ! Nestled in a quiet cove with quick access to open waters, this no wake zone provides a secure place for families to enjoy the kayaks in the hill country. Perfect for fall break. Right on the property you will see a variety of birds and deer grazing. Also close to the beautiful scenic wineries in Burnet, hunting, golf, and Inks Lake State Park (check out specifics of tours and excursions in my guidebook). Fish along our 85ft dock, or enjoy a cold beverage under the twinkle lights along one of the two upper balconies (while enjoying mountain views from the packsaddle schist). Pets allowed with non refundable $50/pet *Fully stocked & equipped kitchen *2 kayaks+ paddleboard+ Peddle boat *Onsite washer + dryer *Wi-fi The space Guests are welcome to use the entire property and 2 kayaks (single and double). Enjoy watching the community of whitetail deer graze out in the yard. If you wish to bring a boat, please disclose ahead of time. We have 3 security cameras on site for your safety. We only monitor in the event of an emergency: 1. Ring doorbell camera 2. Camera facing driveway 3. Ac Unit Camera on front right of the driveway
Boat/ Jet Ski Storage As for the boat, the lift system is more of a ramp system with rollers. It is designed for boats under 3,000 lbs and with inboard/outboard motors (direct drive like surf boats won’t work since there’s a keel roller). Canal will allow boats with 32” draft and turn around with a 19’ boat. Please reach out with any questions.
Guest access We will provide the door access code day of checkin with agreement to house rules. Self check in and check out made easy.

Thank you Kristie!! I’m so glad we could comfortably host ya’ll while visiting family in the area! You’re welcome back anytime!
Loved the location and access to the paddle boat. It was fun sitting on the deck after dark. This was just what we needed on our break away from city life. Will book here again.
The house is super cute and the outdoor living area and decks are great! Neighbors are nice and the fishing is super. We had a wonderful getaway- thank you!

Michelle was incredibly friendly and responded to questions promptly. The property was clean and cozy, and our kids had a wonderful time. Highly recommend this place.
This home was perfectly clean and comfortable, and the owner was very responsive and helpful! The dock behind the house has a great space for gathering and space to fish. Great rental!
We had a great relaxing weekend catching up with girlfriends. The beds were so comfortable and the sheets were soft and everything was so nice! Beautiful place and I highly recommend it to any type of group!
Super cozy house right off the cove. Enjoyed great fishing off the dock and easy access to the lake. Property manager very helpful and informative. Beautiful home and great neighbors. Would definitely recommend this place.
We real enjoyed our stay. The host was very attentive. They had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed the deck in the morning and evening. It was a very relaxed environment. It really felt like a home.
This was perfect to have our whole family close! It was clean and nice to have so many beds while still feeling homey. Michelle was very easy to communicate with and made a few welcoming touches that were fun. Hope to be able to stay again!
Very clean home with all the amenities. Families of deer wandered the neighborhood every day even saw a small bobcat this morning. Host was great and very responsive
We enjoyed our time at this comfortable and nicely decorated house. We used the house as extra housing for a family gathering at a daughter’s house in the neighborhood.
We had a great weekend celebrating my brothers birthday and exploring Lake LBJ! We rented a boat and had the luxury of docking it at the house whenever we needed to go back. We loved having the paddle board and kayaks available too. We would definitely book again in the future!
This property is cozy, comfy fun my family of four adults and two children ages 2 to 7 had an absolutely wonderful time. The property allows you to spend time with family indoors and a wonderful time outdoors with a beautifully built deck and access to a lake entrance, the property also has able in boat live. They have kayaks and wonderful neighbors that were so helpful if you’re looking for a very quaint wonderful place to stay just reach out to Michelle and her property.

Thank you Tomika for trusting us for your family getaway! Our neighbors truly are the best!
Me and my wife had a great time with this house. It was very clean and the host left us a basket to make a ranch water. We caught 2 really big catfish that broke our lines. Neighbors were really nice and friendly. The host was quick to answer any questions we had. Next time we go down there we’d for sure like to go back

Thank you for choosing to stay with us as part of your honeymoon!! So happy y’all had such a lovely time together.
It was exactly as described in the listing and we enjoyed our stay so much!
Fished from the dock, kayaked and played some of the board games in the house.
Plenty of kitchen items allowed us to cook and enjoy meals at the house. We also took advantage of the hostess guidebook and dinned out at the suggested local restaurants - they were all great!
Played golf at two courses nearby and spent time at the lake!
Highly recommend this property!

I'm so glad ya'll utilized my guidebook and had an amazing stay!! We hope to have you all back again!
Beautiful house by the lake. We had a great time with friends and family. Great deck to sit down and relax watching the stars.
The water toys (kayaks and paddle board) are in great condition. It was very fun to play with them.
We highly recommend this house.
Our host Michelle was courteous and friendly.
Quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed the 2 person kayak to go out a bit to swim. Maybe adding a toaster would be a great addition seeing as how my kids and husband wanted toast everyday. Otherwise everything was nice. Would’ve loved to stay longer.

Thank you! We appreciate your suggestion and will act on it!
This place looks cool in the listing but is even better in person. The owner has great taste and keeps it very clean. We needed extra space for my sister’s family when they visited for Christmas. They were so happy and cozy there we had trouble getting them to come over to our place! The host was accommodating and helpful throughout the stay. We are now booking this place for other dates. Great find!

About the host
Hosted by Michelle Thomason
Hi I'm Michelle! I am a mom of two littles + the cutest toy schnauzer. We enjoy travel, cooking, reading, and spending time on the water or in nature. We have lived all over Texas, and currently reside in Austin. We love staying at different properties which means you'll get high service and quality, local recommendations. Please don't be afraid to let me know your interests and expectations! I want to make your experience special. ( I can recommend wine tours, transportation, boat rentals, golf, the best hikes/fishing, and good eats)
Feel free to book or message me first. I'm happy to answer any specific questions in advance.
I'm a former radiation who treated cancer patients but now wear the hat of full time mommy. I value community and experiences and pray this place will bring that along with intentional memories!
I'm a well traveled guest who knows what a host should do to create a comfortable guest experience. Our favorite places to visit aside from the lake are Venice, the Croatia, Havana, Santorini, Barcelona, Napa, Tulum, and Jackson, WY.
Why they chose this property
The gorgeous mountain view, quiet cove, and wildlife spoke to us when looking for the perfect property for family. My kids love to kayak, fish, watch whitetail deer, and paddleboard here at Ranch Water Cove. I didn't want to be on the open waters where reckless boat drivers and alot of weekend traffic would sacrifice safety. Aside from lake fun, we are close enough to some beautiful golf courses, wedding venues, distilleries, gorgeous wineries, and State Parks. The neighborhood of Sunrise Beach is safe and friendly.
