LAKE & RIVER Front! HUGE-FUN HOME:3300sft-4bath-Games,Kayaks,Canoe,View & Space!

**READ EACH PHOTO REMARKS FOR MORE DETAILS**
River Oaks Lake House is all about space, fun, and relaxed lake life. Not a stiff “look but don’t touch” vacation home...this is the kind of place where families spread out, kids run barefoot through the yard, everyone grabs a different game or TV, and the day somehow ends with a sunset over the water.
Set on a large grassy waterfront lot at the meeting point of Lake LBJ and the Llano River, the home gives you the best of both worlds...calm lake water in one direction and river adventures in the other. Whether your group wants swimming, kayaking, floating, fishing, yard games, movie nights, or simply sitting outside with coffee watching the water, there’s room and options for everyone.
One of the biggest things guests love is how easy and enjoyable the water is here. The area in front of the home is usually shallow with a soft sandy bottom...great for kids, wading, floating, swimming, and relaxing without heavy boat traffic. The sandy channel can reach around 5 feet deep in spots and leads across to a large sandy beach area that’s perfect for exploring, picnics, or letting kids burn energy.
Feeling adventurous? About 1½–2 miles upriver is a local hidden gem known as “The Slab”...a granite rock area with natural rapids, swimming holes, and smooth rock formations that make for an unforgettable day. The ultra adventurous can even float back down the calm river to the house when conditions allow.
Prefer deeper water? Head the opposite direction where the lake gradually deepens for fishing, swimming, and paddling. We provide 3 kayaks and a canoe at no extra charge, making it easy to explore both the river and lake side.
Back at the house, there’s plenty of room to spread out and unwind. Multiple TVs, recreational games, indoor and outdoor hangout spaces, and the huge lawn mean everyone can find their own version of fun without feeling crowded.
And while the property feels peaceful and tucked away, you’re still conveniently close to everything you need...restaurants, local shops, and H-E-B are about 4 miles away. Lighthouse Country Club is roughly 2 miles away, with Legends Golf Course just a bit farther.
Sleeping & Layout • Bunk room serves as the 4th bedroom and sleeps up to 6 with its own full bathroom • Half bath near kitchen/common area • Full hall bathroom between guest bedrooms • Full primary bathroom attached to primary suite
Conveniently located in Central Texas approximately: • 60 minutes from Austin • 90 minutes from San Antonio
**BOATS Please note that our property sits in the sandy Llano River arm of Lake LBJ where the water is naturally shallow near the home. Many boats will not reach the dock area. Pontoon boats, flat-bottom fishing boats, and jet skis have accessed the property successfully depending on conditions, but water depth and channels can shift naturally over time. Feel free to reach out with questions before bringing or renting a boat. **What this does provide is private, boat traffic free water frontage!

Great house for post Christmas family gathering! There were 8 of us from 78 yrs to 11 yrs old and everyone had a blast! Fishing right off the back of property was fun and the big game room was a HUGE plus! Except for eating, THAT was the hangout room! House was so comfortable and gave us a great place to relax and decompress after the holidays. Thank you to our hosts for being pet friendly as well!

I have a group of old high school friends now in our 50's who have stayed at this property several years. The house is in great shape. The rooms are always very clean. The kitchen has plenty of items to cook large meals. The view of the river is excellent. We plan to stay here again next year.

This is a beautiful property - book it now! The house is just as described and has plenty of space and amenities whether you’re staying with just your family or a big group! The kitchen is well stocked and everything very clean. Chad and Gabby are excellent and responsive hosts. There are many hang out spaces inside, but the backyard and river is the show stopper. We’ve booked here twice and will definitely be back!

The place was perfect for us. Really a unique place with the walkout basement/bedroom downstairs. Everyone had plenty of room and the game room allowed for adults to relax with each other while occupying the kids. We all really liked the place and location and discussed making this place part of our routine family fun.

Our stay was idyllic. We travelled up from San Antonio for a getaway with family friends and we had such a great time. The house has a cottage feel on the inside, and the kids (3 9 year olds and 2 five year olds) were immediately drawn to the game room. There was a bed for each of them and they lived/slept in the game room instead. The linens and pillows were HIGH QUALITY and made sleeping incredible. The real joy in this house is outside though. The backyard slopes right into the Llano River which is such a dream. We had grandiose plans of seeing 2-3 State Parks and we could NOT get pulled away from the dock at home and the river beneath. We spent all of our time with a drink in hand on the dock or in the river. The water was warm like a hot spring but not stifling. It was shallow enough we were able to set up a canopy homebase in the middle of the river, and the kids swam and kayaked around as we watched (or joined them). The kayaks and canoe got several hours of use and we were so stoked to have access to them. We also enjoyed high end pots and pans and Blackstone grill. Half of our group comprised of seasoned travelers and we all were happily surprised how nice the little things like kitchenware were there and grateful. Can't wait to go back! Still dreaming of the river under the pecan trees.

This was a very comfortable house with plenty of room for our family of 13! We unfortunately got there right after the Texas floods, so we were only able to enjoy the river one day. When the water receded we went down to the beach area and played in the river. The kids loved it!

Our family of 14 stayed for a 5 day “get together “ and could not have been more pleased with the house and location. The house was comfortable and functional for all of our needs. 1 stand out was the game room that the kids LOVED!! The adults liked the fact that the kids had a place to watch movies, play games and hang out together in their own space! There is a beautiful outdoor patio and dining area that we used a LOT! The black stone grill was used for just about every meal.The location cannot be beat! Right on the river with access to a shallow swim/floating area that we all enjoyed. “The Slab” swimming area is only 2 miles from the house and we visited to play there at least once a day. You can tube float from there back to the house in about an hour and it’s a peaceful /scenic float. The sunset float that Chad suggested was our favorite!!! Highly recommend Boattown Burger Bar in Kingsland, very good food and right on the water! We had a wonderful experience and will be back!!! Chad and Gabby were excellent hosts and quick to respond to any questions we had!

Our family had a wonderful time. Well kept, clean house with dynamic sleeping arrangements for a big family. We enjoyed the kayak that was provided each day and made our way to the sand bar where my 3 year old safely played for hours while we sat in the water and enjoyed each others company. The owners Chad and Gaby were very responsive, friendly and easy to contact. Would definitely recommend and return!

Great family vaca
Really enjoyed our time at your home. It was huge! 3 comfortable bedrooms upstairs with a room for the kids downstairs which they loved.The game room was such an added bonus for us too.Prior to our arrival, a huge rainstorm occurred which left leaves & small limbs in the beautiful yard but after some cleanup it certainly didn’t hamper our time there.The rain actually was welcomed as the river was up & allowed kayak trips down from the “slab” several days along with floating/ swimming right off the water deck area.We thoroughly enjoyed the deck for morning coffee & meals.Host responded to all our questions quickly & was helpful with suggestions.Take advantage of this family perfect home!

Family Weekend
We are six related adults (ages 27 to 63) wanting to connect during a 2-night stay. There was laughter, river time, and lots of food. The property is beautiful, we made several memories, saw a bald eagle, an otter, and lots of other Hill Country widlife. We ate 4 of our 5 meals on the covered deck enjoying the awesome weather and each other's company. We played ping pong, video games, corn hole, frisbee, and went up the river in the provided canoe and kayaks. We really enjoyed our time together and plan on returning in the future..

What a fun place!
This property was great for our family of 5 adults and 4 boys ages 2-9. The game room was an absolute hit with everyone. (do need to replace the ping pong balls) The video game consoles were great for all!
Access to the river was easy, and there were many places for the littlest ones to play and swim safely once we got them across the river. It wasn't too deep for adults, but the littles needed help navigating. We took them across on tubes and in the canoe.
The older boys learned to kayak with the kayaks left for us on-site and they had the best time. We had taken inner tubes and used them some, but the kayaks were by far more fun.
The bedrooms and bathrooms were the perfect size for our needs and having the basement bunk space with its own bathroom and outdoor access was perfect. Kitchen was well-equipped and roomy, but we mostly cooked outside on the HUGE Blackstone grill. It was wonderful.
You will not be disappointed if you stay here, if you are looking for clean and roomy accommodations with river access and a beautiful and welcoming yard and patio spaces.
Chad and Gaby were very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. A great weekend for us and we hope to one day visit again.

Excellent Getaway for Dads
We have 8 men who are friends from high school in the late 80's. We make an annual trip to hang out and catch-up. This home was perfect for us for a second year in a row. We really renjoy sitting in the river out in front of the house. We take a popup shade tent and chairs and just sit and visit all day. We use the canoe and kayaks to take our stuff across to the more shallow part of the river. It's perfect. The house is fantastic and we fit easily. We also cook quite a lot. The home has all the cooking utensils we need including a large outdoor griddle on the patio. The owner has been super helpful and responsive each year. This year we had a nice surprise with the new garage addition which had a large sectional, very large tv and a ping pong table. We couldn't ask for a better place.
