Welcome to Grand Palapa at Blue Sky, a three-bedroom, pet-friendly retreat located on Lake Buchanan in the Texas Hill Country. With beach entry to the lake, a grand palapa on the property for entertaining, and water toys including kayaks and stand up paddleboards, this waterfront lakehouse welcomes you and your crew for good times on and off the lake.

Due to fluctuating water levels, sometimes this home offers lakefront access but not always. Currently, lake levels are low, and guestscan expect a 10 minute walk to access the lake.

Stocked with thoughtful extras and premium upgrades to give you a 5-star stay, this newly listed lakefront home is perfect for family vacations, romantic getaways, remote workstays, and special occasion gatherings. You can rest assured we’ve put in place extensive cleaning and disinfecting procedures. Look no more. You’ve found the perfect rental! Come stay with us and experience firsthand why our guests rave about our properties and love our customer service.

Additional Details:
- Ask about boat rental or bring your own boat.
- The water level is still very low at Lake Buchanan. It does not currently come up to the property, and the pier is on dry land. Guests can expect a 5-10 minute walk to the water.
- You may encounter wildlife on the property. We've seen deer, armadillos, fish, turtles, snakes, birds, etc. Enjoy but be careful and stay on the property at your own risk.
