About this property

Tranquil Lake LBJ getaway! No boat traffic. Swim, Kayak, SUP & Fish in Peace! ❤️🦮

Welcome to the heart of Hill Country in this lovely single-story home, nestled at the top of the Colorado arm on Lake Lyndon B. Johnson. This gorgeous, secluded spot is above the shoals/rocks so large boats cannot access, making it the perfect place for the kids to explore on paddle boards and kayaks. It is the best fishing spot on the lake. Only 50 minutes from I-35 in Georgetown and surrounded by the most popular state park in Texas: Inks Lake State Park, as well as wineries, hiking, biking, fishing, and boating opportunities – with so much to keep you busy at home, no one will blame you if you don’t make it far.

You’ll find multiple places to gather outside, including the large covered patio with a fireplace and a great view of the lake to enjoy a morning coffee. A friendly game of darts or corn hole may be in order, and the kids will love splashing around on the small private dock. Grab one of the five kayaks available for your use and explore by water – this area of the lake is very quiet and no boat/jet ski traffic – perfect for kayaking, swimming, and standup paddle boarding as boats rarely travel nearby. Very safe and quiet place to explore the shoals and hidden waterfalls. In the evening, fire up the gas grill/griddle on the patio and dine alfresco at the large patio table. When night falls, gather at the patio fireplace to roast marshmallows and trade stories about the day.

Inside you’ll find spaces just as charming. The wide-open floor plan has the game room, dining room, living room and a chef's kitchen in one open space. In your gourmet kitchen, you can cook while watching the kids and entertain your guests at the 12 ft. butcher block island while always enjoying a view of the lake from any part of the room. The entire wall facing the lake has floor to ceiling windows that sets the tone of your lake vacation with family and friends.

Perfect Birthday Getaway

I was planning a getaway for a girlfriend's birthday and her specific requests were to be surrounded by nothing but nature & water activities (kayaking or paddle boarding). As I searched, Greg's property had everything we were looking for. He was very communicative the entire time making sure we were ok and had all we needed. The property was spacious & clean, and fully stocked in the kitchen and all rooms. There was direct lake access and once on the water, you're able to paddle out to beautiful scenery. Greg requested to be notified of any issues, which I did, and he noted & appreciated them. I highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a quiet relaxing space with lots of amenities and an excellent host!

Great stay at the lake house!!

We had a wonderful experience with Greg while booking the home, his communication was great and gave us lots of tips about the house and the area. The home was well stocked and clean. The location on a quiet part of the lake was perfect for our family. We explored the area in the canoes and kayaks. There was great fishing off the dock and lots of wildlife to enjoy, including lots of turtles and birds! We will definitely be back! Thank you Greg for an awesome weekend!

Tranquil Getaway as stated

This is a very beautiful, comfortable and peaceful home and property. We were there Father’s Day weekend for a family reunion nearby , so it was a great place to stay, great atmosphere and away from crowds and noise. Enjoyed playing pool, kayaks, the great kitchen, washer/dryer, and the covered patio, especially when it rained, and other things a well. What we needed , plus more, was supplied and there was a really nice welcome basket when we arrived. Greg was a great host and any questions, needs ,or concerns we had, he was quick to respond and very gracious.

Great Lakehouse

This house was very nice. Open concept with huge bar with barstools and a dining table that seats 8. Windows all along the back of the house so you can enjoy the view. Huge covered patio with outdoor fireplace and another section with a firepit - both with lots of seating. Kayaks and paddleboards available for use which we did and had a great time. Brand new appliances in the kitchen (had to figure out the induction range) but came with good instructions. Has a pool table and I'm still as bad as I was in college. ha ha The host was very responsive and took good care of us. We'll definitely be back with the rest of the family!

An amazing getaway on the water!

The house at Shoals Parkway is immaculately equipped to host a family-sized group! We found every appliance and utensil (all like new) we could hope for to cook and entertain. The kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are already there and ready to go and the bedrooms and bathrooms are all completely modern and like new. Don't forget to fire up the huge Bluetooth speaker and to try fishing off the landing (especially if you have small kids who get a kick out of pulling out sunfish non-stop). That landing is perfectly situated to watch the sunset as well. The location couldn't be better for accessing everything we wanted to see on the Highland Lakes. Thanks, Gregg for putting us up!

Amazing kitchen, Billiards, and Stand-up Paddleboarding

The kitchen island! The biggest I've ever seen and it makes the kitchen a joy to cook in, especially since it overlooks the lake. Plenty of room to spread out and lots of barstools to encourage hanging out with the cook. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment and we enjoyed cooking in it so much we never dined out in town. The views of the lake are wonderful and it's just a short walk through the backyard to get to it. I'm not much of a swimmer, but the lake was so inviting that I kayaked and tried the stand-up paddleboards (difficult but fun!). My kids (15 and 11) spent a lot of time swimming and kayaking. We planned to fish too but had so much fun playing that we didn't get around to it. The lake levels rise and fall through the day but it's a slow process and the higher water makes getting in and out of kayaks much easier. Take some water shoes, though - the zebra mussels are no joke. We were here during a heatwave but the house stayed nice and cool. Lots of birds active in the yard and on the lake, and saw a lot of deer our first night. The stars were amazing despite hazy skies - would love to see the skies in the winter! The house is beautiful and well stocked. We generally rent from VRBO every year and this was by far the nicest and best-stocked house we've stayed at (it has everything from mayonnaise and spices to shampoo and Q-tips). It was also easy to access and the nearby town has a small HEB. Communication with the owner was great. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Greg Corrales

Host profile image
This house has been in the family for 15 years. My mom has moved out of it due to health reasons and instead of selling it, we decided to offer VRBO so that our kids and grand kids will have a place to vacation anytime.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because it's away from all the hustle and bustle of the main lake. The entire family can enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, exploring the creeks, the shoals and the waterfall without having to worry about a wake board boat and it's 5 ft wake wiping everyone out. This part of the lake is only accessible by pontoons and fishing boats. Also, one of the busiest state parks, Inks Lake State Park, is less than one mile away and offers many different hiking trails.

What makes this property unique

Because of the shoals, big wakeboard boats can’t access this part of the lake making it the most peaceful and safest part of the lake.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
