Welcome to the home of the Seven Bass on Inks Lake.

In this spacious two story home located on a private, no wake cove in the exclusive Inks Lake Village. This secluded home resides in a gated community making it the perfect destination for a quiet family get away only ~50 minutes from Austin/Georgetown and surrounded by Inks Lake State Park, voted one of the best and most beautiful state parks in Texas.

The house features 40+ windows most of which face the lake, creating a tranquil setting for your family and guests. You’ll find multiple places to gather inside and outside, including a large, covered patio with a great view of the lake to enjoy the sunrise and your morning coffee.

Inside you’ll find the open floor plan provides comfortable living room, kitchen, dining room and laundry. Your kitchen features a thoughtful layout around the granite island with a broad range of cooking options and amenities. You can cook while watching the kids and entertaining your guests while enjoying a view of the lake. You're also welcome to use the Weber propane grill or wood burning BBQ smoker.

Wide concrete steps provide easy access to the water and boat dock on a private, no-wake cove ideal for swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking or floating peacefully on inner tubes with friends. The dock features plenty of space for sunbathing during the day or star gazing at night. With only one public boat ramp on the lake, boat or jet ski traffic is normally minimal.

Other activities and resources nearby:
- Fly fish the highly rated Llano River for Guadalupe Bass,
- Tour Hill Country wineries,
- Explore underground caves at Longhorn Cavern State Park,
- Take the Vanishing Texas River Cruise upriver to see waterfalls, nesting eagles and other wildlife,
- Hike the many trails in Inks Lake or Enchanted Rock State Parks, or
- Wander into Burnet, Kingsland or Llano for groceries, restaurants and small town shopping.

And, keep an eye out for Texas Hill Country wildlife! You'll likely see ducks, Canadian geese, blue heron, turtles, white tail deer and possibly more during your stay.

Building upon the idea behind Hidden Mickey's at Disney World, there are seven wooden basses hidden in the house, all easily visible from the 1st floor. Someday when we think of one, there will be a grand prize for finding all seven. But for now, you'll just have to celebrate that accomplishment with your family and friends.

Last but not least, your safety is our highest priority! Our cleaning crew thoroughly cleans, disinfects our home, and all cleaning products are hospital-grade and EPA-approved. We have also stocked the house with additional cleaning products for you to use during your stay.

>> Frequently Asked Questions
Lake Level: Inks Lake is constant level year round, which means the lake level is carefully managed by the LCRA and varies only 2-3 inches of normal.

Parking: The driveway is steep and can be a minor challenge for the squeamish, but there is parking in front of the house for ~5 cars.

Pets: Your dog is welcome to join you. The yard isn't enclosed by a fence, leash laws are applicable here also, and there is an additional fee.

Boating: Your boat and/or jetski are welcome also. The dock features multiple tie downs. The roads in the village are narrow so we normally recommend boats

    Very nice house, incredibly clean and well stocked. Really enjoyed the stairs going into the water and the sloped entrance into the lake which made it easy to get into and out of our paddle boards and kayaks.

    This property is an absolute gem! As paramedics, we were in great need of a mental reboot. This property was exactly what we needed. It has everything and more and did not disappoint. The property owners were very easy to get a hold of and we all felt very welcome. Will definitely be back sooner rather than later!

    My husband, three boys (ages 10, 8, and 4), my 5 year old niece and I spent a wonderful weekend on Inks Lake! We kayaked, fished and swam all day. The house is right on the water, the lake is at a constant level, and the house has so many rooms/beds for various sleeping options. We will definitely be back.

    We were looking to get away from the hustle&bustle and spend time on/by the water. This home did just that - we love all the vintage pieces around the house that we got to explain to our kids. I loved sitting outside on the porch swing watching deers, birds, the view of the lake and castle was lovely. My family loved being able to walk out to the lake to go fishing and swimming. Nancy was accommodating and was easy to communicate with.

    Outstanding lakehouse on the water. The driveway was a little tricky to back a boat into, but if you have the skills, not too crazy. Tons of room, and the boat dock was in a small cove right by the dam. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    This is a gorgeous lake side property. We would definitely stay here again! We really enjoyed sitting on the covered porch and watching the wildlife (geese, herons, a couple of foxes and a sweet kitty who befriended us) and the lake. The house is well stocked with most everything you need. Recommend bringing bottled water and paper plates. The beds were comfortable. Two of the bedrooms are upstairs via a spiral staircase so beware if anyone in your group has mobility issues. Again, this is a very nice property!

    Our family celebrates Christmas by spending a few days at a water front property. The Talbots home on Inks Lake was perfect with many custom touches, a large yard and beautiful view from all the rooms.Grandkids loved the boat on the wall, bunk beds, spiral staircase, “hideout” near the living room, and all the wildlife.

    Wish we could have stayed longer. This was a great place for my family to connect after a while of being apart. Everyone had their own space and the water was great!! Thank you!

    We all enjoyed our stay and loved the easy access to the lake. It was a great place for swimming and paddle boarding. We loved having the grass yard. I gave a 4star for cleanliness due to having to sweep up the back porch. But everything else was very comfortable and clean inside. We would come back again!

    We have stayed at the Talbots Lake House on inks Lake numerous times and every year is more fun than the last! Comfortable beds and soft linens, chef’s kitchen so well appointed and a beautiful lake for water fun! Our grands, who are tweens especially love the kayaks. Plenty of lifejackets are supplied for a safe paddling experience. The dock is also perfect for dropping a fishing line or enjoying a cocktail. Try it, you will love it!

    Our small family enjoyed our 5 night stay so much we are already trying to plan a next trip. We swam, canoed, paddle-boarded and kayaked at the property. Spent some time close by at Longhorn Cavern and Inks Lake State Park, hiking some trails. House and grounds were very clean Our 5 year old son teared up when we left. He did not want to leave. Thanks to the host for sharing such a wonderful property.
