    We absolutely loved our stay here - I cannot recommend it enough! The property was VERY clean and comfortable - the wall of windows is so beautiful. The main reasons I chose this property were all the extras (all the activities available) & the ability to bring our pups. We paddled on the kayaks and paddle board, played cornhole, ping pong, darts & big Connect 4 on the lower level, plus more games upstairs. The little outside pen for pups is so handy! The host was incredibly responsive before and during our stay, most always hearing back within just a few minutes. I could not have asked for a better property to enjoy our family getaway! Thank you so much!

    Our family loved our multi-generational stay at “Better Lake Than Never!” Everyone from seniors down to our 7yo felt right at home and enjoyed the bright & spacious home plus the fun outdoor space. The house was clean and decorated beautifully with comfortable furnishings. Having the kitchen/dining/living rooms for family time together was a blessing. The outdoor games (darts, Connect 4, corn hole) & kayaks (with life jackets) elevated the experience. The owner was very responsive and helpful anytime we reached out with questions or concerns. We definitely recommend this location and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Our experoence here was fantastic! Would highly recommend if you have kids. The home layout was perfect for the kids to go to the bottom outdoor level to play games, and to take the noise out of the house. Ed, the owner, was super communicative and great to have your back when any storms came in. Access to kayaks to go from their inlet, to the river, and to the lake were easy to use. The home is well furnished and well stocked. Information is readily availabke from their Welcome Binder. We found it easy to get out of their riverside neoghborhood to stores, restaurarants, boat rental locations, caves, etc.If you're looking for a quiet place tucked away in the Hill Country, then this is it!

    We came here with my family for a weekend getaway. The property literally has everything you need. Plenty of towels, blankets, games, etc. Being close to the water and kayaks were a great bonus! It is beautifully decorated. Beds/pillows/sofa all were super comfy. There were 6 adults and we had plenty of room. Wi-Fi was fast which I appreciated since I had to work. Ed was the perfect host communicating before check in with procedures. We had a thunderstorm come through and he made sure to check on us. Much appreciated and will def be back!

    Couldn’t have had a better stay. Everything was so beautiful and comfortable. There are games downstairs that we loved having. Made it feel like a true vacation. A back porch that looks out at the canal and a fire pit. What more could you want? Can’t wait to stay there again. Very gracious host!

    We had a great time at Better Lake Than Never. We loved lounging around the big sectional watching movies, playing ping pong and darts outside, and fishing from the pier in the neighborhood. When we weren’t at the house, we spent lots of time at Inks Lake and Longhorn Cavern state parks, which are just minutes away. Ed was such a great host - the house has all the amenities you could ask for. I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a quiet getaway on the lake in central Texas!

    Ed has a sweet spot on a canal right off of Lake LBJ. It was perfect for our family. The house is very nice and clean. He has paddleboards, kayaks and dock to fish and swim from. The neighborhood is nice and safe. It sits just outside of Kingsland, TX and about a 9 minute drive to the HEB and restaurants in town. We really like the open concept of the home and the big deck that overlooks the water. Rest assured, this is a tip top property.
