LOVE this ! Thank you Kathleen ! Please reach out before your next stay. We offer discounts to our returning guests.
We enjoyed our stay tremendously. My husband and I stayed with our 3 kids(ages 6-11) as well as his parents, sisters and their families. The kids loved the pool and we enjoyed being able to cook outside at the outdoor kitchen while watching the kids. We utilized the boat dock for our two jet skis and the kids loved the rope swing on the dock. We would definitely stay here again.

Kristi , thank you for the wonderful review! We love to hear that the property has met our guests expectations! Thank you again!
Having the pool to unwind after a day on the boat was great! House was very clean. There were a lot of steps to navigate from the house to the pool and to the boat dock.

John, we are glad to hear you had a great getaway! The pool is definitely a great addition to the property! Thank you for staying with us.
The home is beautiful, right on the Colorado River section of Lake LBJ. We had 11 family members with plenty of room for all. Two pools, boat dock for waver runners, outdoor grilling area, everything you could ask for in a Lake home setup. And the Hill Country Stays team was great to work with answering all our questions. We are coming back for sure!

Everything about our stay was top notch. The home is roomy and nicely decorated. Plenty of space for us in each room. Loved the pools! Plenty of seating. The outdoor cabana was lovely as well. We enjoyed sitting on the upper deck of the boat dock in the evenings as there was a cool breeze and watched all the boats pass by. We cooked out every night. The neighborhood was quiet at night. Just all around our best stay ever and we take a Texas trip every summer whether lake or beach. You will love your stay at this place!

Melissa, this is wonderful. We are so happy to hear you had the best stay. We appreciate you so much !
We loved the outdoor space. Me and my niece made everyone Shirley Temples at the swim up bar. We also loved the rope swing, from the second story deck. We had 3 volleyball players with us and they enjoyed the volleyball pool net. We had 12 of us and had plenty of room. It was such a hit. We will be back.

Shea, thank you for review. We love to hear you all enjoyed the outdoor space and that the home was spacious. We appreciate you !
This property was perfect for our getaway. Plenty of room. We were able to bring our boat, the dry dock and dock were a great addition. Lots of fishing. Rented some kayaks for those brave enough to try them out. The outside bar/grill allowed for plenty of board games, and spending time outside together. We loved the outside bathroom and shower. Thank you so much for giving us someplace to create some wonderful memories.

We are so happy to hear that you made wonderful memories at this home. We appreciate you allowing us to host you and your family reunion. Thank you !
Our family loved staying here! The pool complex rivals any I've ever seen: a deep pool, a lounging pool that incorporates the patio bar, and a hot tub (which the kids loved as a "bubble-tub" without the heat). The dock was great for the two jet skis and one boat we rented. The dock ladder was first class. Interior of the home was first class as well. Yes, it's a funky decorative style with all the colors, but in a fun way. Kitchen was stocked with inventory better than you could imagine. The house lacks fans in the bedrooms other than the master, but the AC was sufficient. Addition of some table fans might be nice for some users. Overall, this was a wonderful location and facility. We hope to return!

Ray, thank you for the great review! Yes, the colors are vibrant and funky! We are happy to hear you intend to return. Thanks again!
We stayed at Lakeside Retreat for our annual family vacation (12 adults, 1 teenager). The house was comfortable for the size of our group - plenty of seating options on the first floor for lounging and dining. The highlight of the property is the pool and dock at the lake. The double pool was absolutely fabulous. The lower pool has a volleyball net and we spent a lot of time hanging out in that space. The lower pool also has a swim up bar with seats in the water - felt like we were at a resort!! The outdoor kitchen space is great - again so much room for a large group. The dock was another great hangout spot. The upper level of the dock has a roof on it with lounge chairs so it was a great place to relax with shade. There's a swing rope off the 2nd level of the dock into the lake and everyone had a lot of fun with that. Location is great - not too busy with water craft in that part of the lake but easily accessible. We loved this property and will likely be back!

We loved the outdoors -- both pools, grill area, multiple seating areas on various levels, and an amazing 2-story dock. The outdoor environment, alone, would have merited a full 5 stars! Inside the kitchen was well-equipped, lots of good seating areas, and great bedroom accommodations. Here are the few, minor areas of improvement: shower in master has two directions -- either full on hot or full on cold. Both were extreme and need addressing. Entry code upon arrival (on time, not early) did not work. Took some time to get the proper code to us. Master BR tv is "ready" for your own devices to plug in -- no cable, so it was worthless to us. It took multiple calls to understand it wasn't going to be fixed. There was no kayak/canoe as the listing mentioned, and the "bags" for corn hole were missing. Despite these issues and the higher than typical pricing, we would stay there again.
