Two-story waterfront retreat with boat dock, two firepits & two kayaks

Green River Lodge - Lake LBJ

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

Make a date at the lake at this relaxing waterfront retreat tucked away on the northern stretch of Lake LBJ, located directly across from a 150-acre nature sanctuary filled with an abundance of natural habitats, songbirds, shorebirds, and waterfowl. You'll feel like you've gone off the grid within this tranquil section of the Colorado River. Whether you're spending your days floating next to the dock, adventuring out on the provided blow-up kayaks, sampling the wares at local wineries, or just relaxing at home in the hammock, your stay here is sure to be the highlight of your next vacation in the heart of the state.

This charming, family-friendly vacation rental offers spectacular views of the water from both levels and almost every room. Prepare your favorite dishes in the well-equipped, full kitchen, complete with a wine fridge, and then dine shoulder to shoulder at the attached breakfast bar, out back on the furnished patio, or over the water on the covered dock. You'll also find a gas grill for putting a little extra char on your home-cooked menu. After meals, meet up in the lower-level living area to stream your favorite channels on the TV, or climb the spiral staircase and kick back in the second living space where you'll find a sofa bed, another TV, and a wide variety of board games for rainy day fun.

Back outside, enjoy 85 feet of waterfront on Lake LBJ, where you can also put your boat in from the neighboring lot, which offers one of only two neighborhood boat ramps. Bring your fishing rod and catch a five-pound bass - this quiet stretch of the lake provides great fishing. There are plenty of spots out back to relax, soak up the sunshine, and watch for visiting wildlife, so pick a chair or a chaise lounge and unwind. Toward evening, two firepits provide the perfect space to gather and recap the evening. Another eventful day awaits tomorrow!

Free-roaming

The house was more than we hoped for. We’re a large family, having 4 children, 3 of which are under 4, so we needed something to meet everyone’s needs. The absolute best part (aside from the stunning views) is that the entire property is fenced in. Our 2 year old had the time of his life exploring every corner. He even took to waving at the morning joggers and saying hi. It’s perfect for keeping littles safe, but giving freedom to the older kids and adults in the group. My husband and I have saved this location so that we can come back when the kids are older and I can finally lay out in the sun next to the water. This really is an incredible property (and there really are kayaks and SO many other games for your use).

Peaceful October retreat

We enjoyed this property in October. Not too many recreational vehicles on the river, so we were able to enjoy the wildlife from the dock. Sunrises and sunsets were amazing. The view directly across the river is the Fish Hatchery, a beautiful, undeveloped span with lots of trees and various species of birds.

Perfect Lake Get Away

Nice location on the water. Quiet, peaceful place with fun water activities like kayaking and paddle boarding. Home had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Covered deck on the water was perfect for coffee. Fans made it very comfortable. Any questions asked answered by text quickly. Would definitely like to visit again.

HAD IT ALL!

Everything we needed to prepare meals - just your own food. We loved fishing and floating off the dock and Burnett and Kingsland were nearby.

Perfect Vacation

Just about everything during our stay was perfect. The upstairs area and bedroom was a perfect getaway from the teenaged boys! We all very much enjoyed the kayaks!! I am happy to report that I was the winner of the Colorado River Cornhole Championship. The boys are from Germany and had never played cornhole and they enjoyed it immensely! The peace and quiet was beyond amazing!

Hidden Gem

We had a wonderful time during our stay! The view, amenities, and house were amazing! The kitchen was a great gathering place while inside and offered everything we needed. The kids were entertained by everything that was available. The only downside was the primary bedroom’s bed. It was way too soft and my husband and I kept rolling to the center of the bed. Next time we’ll just make the kids sleep in there.

Amazing view and great property! We had an amazing time. Only issue was the tv. For whatever reason, the Roku remote didn’t work well. However, we spent the majority of our time outside!

Cute house

The property was nice, the space was nice, the location was just an inconvenience for us and no access to lbj because of the depth and boulders in the water. Not able to get a boat through. Great if you just want to fish and hang out at the house. I recommend this property for togethers but do not recommend if you have a boat and plan on accessing lbj from this property.

Great summer retreat!

My husband and four teens/tweens loved the house and amenities. They had the best time paddle boarding, kayaking, and fishing (bring your own gear). Really nice location with beautiful scenery out each window. House has lots of inside and outside games. Nicely appointed kitchen with everything needed to make cooking a breeze.

My Husband’s Favorite Fishing Spot!

Very clean and perfect property inside and out. So peaceful! Boulders between home and Lake LBJ skiing area but with Code to community boat ramp gate we were able to unload our boat for daily access to incredible Lake LBJ skiing! Peaceful Canoeing and Paddle Boarding… guaranteed successful fishing… and boating on Lake LBJ! Wow! A treasured find! Thank you for sharing your home with our family. College boys, Parents, and 83-year-old Granmomma.

We loved the amenities ( lake toys, life vests, board games, etc). It was great to have access to the water right outside your back door.

Family weekend

This place had everything we needed to relax and enjoy the river. Very clean home and grounds. Lots of fun in the river with kayaks, paddle boards, swimming and fishing. Thanks for thinking of everything and organizing it so that everything was super easy to find. Definitely would recommend to others and we would love to come back.

Lovely home on the lake

My husband and I loved our stay this past weekend. The view of the lake from the many windows was stunning. There were so many places to enjoy relaxing outside from the upper porches to the lawn, as well as all around the dock area. The house was immaculate and had everything we could possibly need. The kitchen doors and drawers were even labeled so we could easily find everything. And the kitchen was large and a dream to cook and serve in. We will be back for sure!
