This 4 bedroom, 3 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, deer, 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.

    We had a wonderful family reunion over Thanksgiving. The amenities were great, especially the pool table/ping-pong table combo in the game room. The new addition is splendid and the bunk beds are sturdy and comfortable. Caught tons of catfish from the dock totalling over 50 lbs. Thank you, Brandi!

    Beautiful property, yard was great, waterfront not so much. I called about 10 days before our date to ask specifically about the waterfront and lake cleanliness and ability to access the water. I was told there was a little eel grass. However, the water was totally inaccessible from the dock, the ladder to the water, the canoe or the sup. The eel grass was so thick it looked like green spaghetti in a bowl, with lots of various colored algae floating on or near the top. And where it thinned out in deeper water out from the dock, you could see hydrilla growing as well. We watched as a huge snake rose up about a foot out of the grass and looked around. We saw about 20 snakes over our 3 days there. I can't imagine anyone willing to swim in that water. And it was something i was really looking forward to while we were there. Thankfully it didn't smell, but it looked awful and very dangerous. The lake as a whole was pretty quiet, but there were some boats going along out in the middle away from the shoreline.

    Very nice older home fully stocked with everything you could need. lots of established trees and large sloped carpet grass lawn. Great fishing right off the pier. Couldn’t float in the water due to floating grass and muck but this might have been from the recent flooding and beyond the owners control and she was very helpful and responsive. We had a wonderful time and will be back.

    Our family consists of 6 adults and 2 teen boys, and all of us are fishing fanatics. The large house was perfect for our comfort and ability to spread out. The games, pool table/ ping pong table, kept everyone entertained when they weren't on the fishing pier. We caught the most fish our group has ever hauled in on a family vacation. Our fish fry was great. The bream were the largest i have ever seen in my 72 years and the channel cats ran from regular size to several whoppers. This may rank as our best trip ever.

    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 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!
