Beautifully Quiet and Secluded Home on Llano River Arm of Lake LBJ

4 Bedrooms/4 baths/approx 3000 sqft! and Sleeps 12 Adults (14 with children)--And we've added a NEW GAME ROOM!!! July 2024.

**READ EACH PHOTO REMARKS FOR MORE DETAILS**

The open water here is peaceful, clear and beautiful. This is a quality home located on a quiet section of the Llano Arm of Lake LBJ in Kingsland, Texas. With views of Packsaddle Mountain and the Hill Country over the calm, quite and constant level waters of Lake LBJ, you’ll find beauty in every day with any weather. Set on a large grassy lot, this beautiful and comfortable home sits at the meeting point of Lake LBJ and Llano River. With lake activities in one direction and the adventures and beauty of the river in the other, there is something for everyone. The water level at the dock is usually about 1-2 feet deep and has a sandy bottom which is great for swimming and wading. With a mostly soft sandy bottom, playing, swimming wading, and all activities are easy on the eyes and the feet. Even though the normal water level is constant, the sandy channels vary and can shift a little after big rains, but rarely does it get over 3 ft to go all the way to the other side where there is a large Sandy Beach area. This is great for running around with kids, picnicking or hiking up river. Just about 1 ½ -2 miles up river is an area known as “The Slab”. A public but largely unknown park like setting of granite slabs of rock which form rapids, slides and swimming holes. If you don’t want to hike up, you can drive to the parking area just up the street. When the current is stronger, the ultra adventurous can start at The Slab and venture down the calm Llano River on floats until you arrive back at the Lake House.

Prefer the deep waters? Head the other direction. Kayaks and Canoes can take in you in either direction for deeper swimming or fishing options. Up river has depths varying from 1-7ft! Down the lake side gets deeper as you go until it reaches 5-6 ft in areas about 100-200 yards from our dock. Another 100 yards or so and it becomes 10-15+ feet as you enter the main part of Lake LBJ. (See **Boats** at end) There are three kayaks, a Double Kayak and a canoe provided at no additional charge.

Or, if you're like most of our guest, you can just enjoy the peaceful and quiet waters right in front of the home. From the moment you wake with your coffee, to the frequent dips in fresh, boat free waters for a dip or float, to the amazing sunsets over the hill country behind...you will quickly embrace having this open water view all day long!

While the home is in a quiet and peaceful area, all the modern necessities are there and are your local shops, restaurants and the HEB Grocery are just 4 miles away. There is also a full 18 hole golf course and restaurant just 2 miles up the road and an HOA Beach just ½ mile up where you can camp out on sandy beaches in front of deeper waters.

**Bunk Room is 4th bed and sleeps 4-5 w/ it's own full bathroom
**There is a half bath near the kitchen
**Full bath in main hallway between all bedroom doors
**Full bath in Master bedroom

River Oaks Lake House is conveniently located in central Texas about 60 minutes northwest of Austin, 90 minutes north of San Antonio.

***BOATS***Our property is in the sand bar of the Llano River arm of Lake LBJ. The water is shallow. If you are planning on bringing or renting a boat, be aware that most boats will not reach the dock. Feel free to ask questions if you have concerns. We've pulled in and seen many pontoons, flat fishing boats, and jet skis make it to our dock in the past. But, the historic 2018 Flood still has Mother Nature making adjustments. It continues to change weekly but is still consistently too shallow for boat (motor) traffic of any kind.

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.

We had a wonderful time! The house is well laid out with plenty of room for everyone. We loved sitting on the back porch as much as possible. The view is beautiful and the yard and dock are great for playing, swimming and kayaking/canoeing. We found everything we needed in the kitchen. The new game room is huge and great for watching tv together. We played lots of ping pong too! Great week and the hosts were very responsive and accommodating!

Great Stay on Lake LBJ
This was a great property right on the Llano arm of lake LBJ. The kitchen was well supplied. Quiet neighborhood. The fishing off the dock was surprisingly good. Nothing big but fun for the grandkids. They also really enjoyed the recently added game room. Chad and Gaby were very attentive and responsive.

It's all about the Beautiful Backyard with Lake View
Our family stayed here this past week, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is large enough and comfortable enough for a large family, well equipped, great indoor and outdoor space, quiet area. So peaceful to look at the river, sandbar and hills in the background. Nice big backyard for playtime and other activities.

Beautiful Property . . .
We had an amazing stay at this property. It was very clean and was just as depicted in the pictures. The ages of our family ranged from 4 to 86, and there was something for everyone. The kids loved fishing from the bank and they caught a lot of fish. The kayaks and canoe were a big hit as well. My favorite parts were drinking coffee out on the spacious deck and watching the beautiful sunsets each evening. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Fun for all.
Even though temperatures were triple digit the entire time we had a great vacation. Adults had a pop-up in the middle of the river / Lake and just relaxed lounging in the river for coolness. the older kids were fishing with a couple of adults who were interested in fishing and caught a good many fish.( Bass one sunfish catfish Etc. ( little kids chased each other around right in the river with no fear of deep water. The canoes and kayaks were so great to have. House had ample room for everyone and was just as portrayed. Door between bedrooms and main part of house kept baby napping and kid play quiet. Ping pong table was a great indoor activity. Lots of utensils pots and pans and very roomy kitchen area with Long Bar.

Great Spot for the Whole Group
We had a large group of friends with a small kid and this place couldn’t have been more perfect. The living room and kitchen area are set up perfectly for large meals, the patio area (especially the blackstone grill!!) was great for playing bags and relaxing, and the access to the river couldn’t have been better. Definitely plan on bringing a vinyl tent and some chairs and just post up in the river until sundown and watch the beautiful sunset behind the hills. Best 4th of July spot!

The owners were very helpful and fast to respond to our questions. We had plenty of space and beds for everyone. We enjoyed the kayaks. We also spent time just sitting in the river in front of the house with a pop up shade and chairs. The air conditioning was excellent, but they still provided extra fans throughout the house for added comfort. This home definitely made the list for us to make a return trip.

We enjoyed our stay, and the view was beautiful. It is a quiet neighborhood; the weekend brought in more residents, but nothing unusual for a waterfront home. The river in front was the perfect depth for the kids, fun with the canoe and kayak. Saw some wildlife we’ve never seen before…also a couple of snakes (common in Texas rivers, just beware).

The property was as described and owners very responsive. Perfect for our family of 10, 6 adults and 4 kids ages 7 down to 22 months Suggestions and comments only - light bulb out in master to replace, add rags in kitchen, inexpensive containers with lids, propane for black stone was empty and clean gutter area in porch area. None of this would prevent us from renting again.
