About this property

Inks Lake Open Water and Pet friendly home

This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home on Inks Lake boasts 300 feet of water frontage and is a perfect getaway for a private weekend escape or a vacation destination for the family. Inks Lake, nestled in between Burnet and Llano in the beautiful Texas hill country, is constant level and the home of the popular Inks Lake State Park and Camp Longhorn.

This unique mid-century modern open floor plan home features large windows across the entire back of the home with amazing scenic lake views from every room. The kitchen and dining area offer plenty of space for meal preparation: double ovens, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker and utensils are provided. If you enjoy cooking outside, you're welcome to use the Rec-Tec pellet grill.

Enjoy the lake breeze and the hill country wildlife while you sip your morning coffee on the covered porch or down by the water on the pier. A beautiful, sprawling lawn down to the water finds butterflies, squirrels, osprey and Canadian geese leading you to the private pier and water access. The area is ideal for swimming, fishing, canoeing (provided), stand up paddle board (provided) or floating peacefully on inner tubes with friends. The dock features plenty of space for sunbathing during the day or star gazing at night.

Even in the fall the lake offers beautiful foliage color and mild temps while you enjoy the quiet lake to yourself. You are welcome to bring a boat (up to 18') and tie it to the pier/boat dock (water depth 3'). Boat rentals are also available locally. There's only one public boat ramp at Inks State Park so boat traffic is normally lite. Boat trailers can be left in the parking area in front of the house.

Buena Vista is a small neighborhood located just off Highway 29 between Llano and Burnet, Texas. Our home is hidden from the main road and the driveway is narrow but provides ample parking space for up to 4 cars with easy access.

Keep an eye out for Texas Hill Country wildlife! You'll see ducks, Canadian geese, blue heron, turtles, white tail deer and more.

Last but not least, your safety is our highest priority! The cleaning crew has adopted CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting our home between guests. All cleaning products are hospital-grade and EPA-approved. We have also stocked the house with additional cleaning products for you to use during your stay.

We currently do provide bedding, comforters, hand towels and other linens although you're completely welcome to bring your own.

Tranquility

We stayed during this Christmas holiday and wasn't disappointed. The house itself has so much character and charm. Put all that charm in front of a beautiful lake full of large catfish, all the deer you want to watch, and the serenity of it all!! Loved it and can't wait to go back! The host was also wonderful to work with! Thanks Brandi!

We absolutely loved this home! It is better than the pictures! The entire back of the home faces a gorgeous yard and your private dock on the lake! The decor was like modern, boho. We hope to rent again sometime! The host Brandi was amazing with communication, before and during our stay!

Lovely lakeside vacation spot

We loved this mid-century gem and its quiet, idyllic location right on Inks Lake. Lots of yard for the dog to run around in, for adult kids to play cornhole and throw the frisbee, even a canoe! A great time was had by everyone. Highly recommend and would definitely go back. Big bonus: Awesome AC!

Wonderful family getaway!

My family stayed the weekend at Brandi’s to watch the 2024 eclipse. It was the perfect place and we had an amazing view of totality! The house was comfortable, clean, and spacious. The large yard and private dock make the property special. We spent most of our days outside playing, canoeing, and fishing (with our own gear). Brandi was easy to communicate with and a great host. We would definitely like to come back here again!

Very relaxing lake house makes for a great escape.

The surrounding area had incredible natural beauty in April. The lakehouse itself was awesome. It's a midcentury build with lots of personality and cool windows. The dock is great for hanging out and chatting. I didnt have any issues, but we had great weather.

Comfortable home in a beautiful location

Inks lake is a beautiful location and this house in particular with its long driveway and mature trees on the lake side conveys a park-like setting. The house is nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable. There are friendly ducks around the lake and deer to be spotted. I'd enjoy staying here again.

!Beautiful View

We absolutely loved staying in this home! The widows that covered the backside of the house gave a beautiful view of the back yard, with all its trees and the lake. The owners supplied everything needed to have a wonderful time. We were able to pull our jet ski right up to the dock and my kids loved playing in the back yard and feeding the ducks and geese. The house was perfect for our stay with plenty of room. Brandi was fantastic! She helped me through a few unfortunate incidents, on our part, and was so kind and quick to respond! We will definitely go back...if she will have us!😀

Perfect Family Getaway

This beautiful lakeside home was the perfect place for our family and 2 dogs! This MCM home is so beautifully restored. I loved all the original windows, which looked out onto the lake. We enjoyed sitting on the large back porch and watching the dogs play under massive trees that shade the big backyard. The wind coming off the lake cooled the near was near 100 degrees days - and made it pleasant. We did alot of cooking, floated in the lake, kayaked and fish - but most of all we made memories! We hope to return for a longer trip next time!!

Perfect secluded spot on the lake

We loved this beautiful property. Relaxing on the back porch, along the bank of the lake in the yard, or on the dock was just the kind of thing we were looking for. The host was responsive and helpful.

Rare find on the lake

The location is just about perfect. Ink’s lake is the kind of lake that’s quiet when it needs to be. The sounds of nature surround you both at night and in the morning as you sit on the sprawling back porch. The beds are soft, the house is renovated. So much attention to detail. Tubes to borrow. Candles ready to be lit. Blankets to ward of the evening chill. Even the wall of windows looking out on the water makes you feel outside even when you’re indoors. It’s the kind of place you hate to leave. We will definitely be back!
