Guest Access:
While travel time is less than 2 minutes on The Rock Road, for a smoother arrival, we recommend entering The Rock Road across from the entrance of Black Rock State Park. This route not only shortens the travel time on the rough road but also ensures a more comfortable transition into the secluded charm that awaits you. The Rock Road forms a loop. Please be warned, and drive 10mph or slower through the uneven road, bumps, and dimly lit entrance road. Our staff is able to access the property just fine in a small sedan if you know how to drive on unpaved roads.
Please ensure you activate your key code by signing the e-waiver (link sent to you in messages). Be sure to pull the door shut completely, and let the lock cycle finish before you try to enter (or the deadbolt will stick). If you have any issues accessing the property, please call Guest Services.
The Neighborhood:
We are in a rural area so please expect uneven country roads, cattle fencing, wild animals, etc. I am able to easily drive my small car to the property, but if you have a low sports car, just take extra caution.
Getting Around:
We have a convenient location around the hill country & Lake Buchanan, LBJ, Inks Lake and Marble Falls.
Other Things to Note:
**Please be sure to put your correct dates and quantity of people in your group for accurate pricing**

Very tidy and lovely home with everything you need. We have a large family and we never felt on top of each other. Views from the deck are amazing and the beds were fantastic. The master bedroom on the ground floor was easily accessible for my parents which was very accommodating in more ways then one.. Drive way was big enough to park a few cars and had room to turn around with our boat. We were across the street from the boat launch and beach. This was soo convenient as this is where we spent most the afternoon.
A pool was being installed and we are already planning to return this Spring after it is complete. No complaints and look forward to coming back!

Perfect Family Getaway
Our family loved this lake house. It has everything you need gorgeous views of the lake, comfortable beds, and closed to a number of great spots to hike, boat, and explore.
Chuck was an excellent host providing all the information we needed for a quick check-in. This 3 acre ranch was the perfect peaceful retreat for our family after the busy holiday season!
We can’t wait to be back in the summer to enjoy the new pool that is being installed this month!

Amazing Property!
We were so thrilled with this property! The sunsets and sunrises were so colorful and easy to enjoy with the huge decks on the 2nd and 1st floors on both sides of the property. The beds were all memory foam kings! 5 kings! And we didn’t even rent out the additional apartment for a first floor additions 6 bedroom, although we will next time for larger groups or my grandparents who don’t like walking upstairs. Owner told us they are installing a pool soon, so we will definitely be back to experience that this summer!

Amazing place!
Huge house with option to add another master suite! Large view of the lake from several hang out spots, including a cool cabana in the backyard with view of lake. Super close to the lake access across the street and a good launching point to all the natural fun and wineries. Would definitely come back next time!
