We had such a wonderful time during our stay at this house! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need — cooking was a breeze. One of our favorite spots was the screened-in porch, where we spent so much time relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.The home was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to sleep, hang out, and unwind. The only thing to note is that the water was a bit farther than we expected, but it didn’t stop us from having a great time fishing and soaking in the outdoors Overall, a lovely getaway and a place we’d happily return to!

Ladies Camp 2025!

Ten ladies, running away from everything, had an amazing experience here! The house is full of charm. Plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen is FULLY equipped! The beds are comfy with lots of pillows! The screened in patio, with an almost constant breeze, stole the show! Views of the lake, fresh outdoor smell, without the bugs... What more could you ask for? The lake is low, but still accessible. Half of us walked to the water, the other half drove to the water. Thank you for making Ladies Camp 2025 a huge success! I couldn't have done it without you! Look forward to staying here again.

Lake View Villas at Buchanan Dam

The home was perfect for our families end of summer weekend trip. Home and property was very clean. Adequate cooking utensils/ grill. We took paper plates, plastic utensils, etc. We took our beach towels. Loved the washer and dryer. We had no wet swim suits/ towels laying around. There was enough room for all my family. We used two queen air up mattresses for some of the kids. Great location. Water was low. The men fished in Bass Tracker, two smaller fishing boats. Kids caught a few perch using kayaks. Caught 9 catfish off the land. Children and gradkids enjoyed kayaking, fishing, grilling, playing games, watch Olympics. games Thhomegrounds were were well kept.

A Family Celebration

We had a surprise 50th anniversary celebration for our parents. We rented both the farmhouse and beach house. There was plenty of room for the 14 of us to stay. The grounds were well kept and we enjoyed the summer breezes in the ample shade under the trees. Additional family members joined us during the day and we still had plenty of room as we hung out near the water, on the large screened porch or inside. The kitchens in both homes were well stocked. Rena and Rex were wonderful during the planning stages, helping with recommendations and answering our inquiries promptly. They even put out a sign welcoming my parents to their celebration along with a bottle of Prosecco. Spyke’s BBQ and Splash Boat Rentals were great, too.

Rex and Rena bought this property in June of 2018 from a family that had owned it for over 100 years. We both went to school in the Austin area and own property in Llano County. We recently sold our weekend Lakehouse close by when we decided to permanently moved to the Hill County in 2014. We renovated two vacation Villas side by side with a Farmhouse and Beach house theme. Charming and relaxing!
