About this property

Medina Lake Retreat

Escape to this beautifully renovated retreat overlooking Medina Lake, where wide-open views and unforgettable sunsets take center stage. While current drought conditions have lowered lake levels (approximately 4% full), the elevated setting of this home still offers sweeping panoramic vistas—perfect for relaxing mornings and glowing Texas sunsets.

The main house features 4 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, including a private primary suite with a stunning walk-in shower. The heart of the home is the kitchen, where expansive windows provide over 200° of scenic views, bringing the outdoors in. Step out onto the large deck to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening with a glass of wine as the sun sets across the landscape.

Designed for groups and families, this home comfortably accommodates 1–8 guests (up to 16 max) and offers something for every age:

Game room with pool table, electronic darts, and a classic tabletop arcade (Frogger, Mario, Pac-Man & more)
Loft space perfect for kids to hang out
Family room with a 70” TV and whole-home sound system (with individual room controls)
WiFi + printer for those mixing work and relaxation
A wide selection of DVDs and board games

Outdoor amenities make it just as inviting:

Cornhole setup for friendly competition
Chiminea for fires, s’mores, and evening gatherings
Expansive outdoor space to relax and enjoy the Hill Country atmosphere

For larger groups, an optional detached bunk room is available (sleeps 4 adults + 1 child), ideal for added privacy—especially for families with young children or guests seeking a quieter retreat. (Additional fee; contact owner for details.)

Additional features:

EV/RV charging outlet (14-50R) for electric vehicles
Ample space for gatherings, holidays, and reunions

Please Note: This is a family-oriented vacation home. We prioritize a respectful, relaxing environment for all guests.

A Peaceful Lakeside Getaway

This house was a perfect fit for our family. We were able to make big meals in the kitchen and spread out to eat between the large indoor table, the patio, and the lower deck. The dock was a shady place to hang out and swim during the heat of the day. Everyone had a good time. We will be back.

Excellent Rental

A wonderful experience for our vacation with two families. Highly recommend. You do have to be able to traverse some rocks to get to the dock but worth the energy once you reach it. Lounging areas and blue tooth speakers add to the lake-front experience. This host has thought of everything.

Excellent stay!

We spent a wonderful and relaxing week at this lovely home. It has everything you need to have a great family vacation. Lots of room and fun for kids (they loved the loft and jumping off the diving board on the dock!) The kitchen is very well stocked for those who love to cook and we enjoyed s’mores several nights in the chiminea! The deer come out at night and the sunsets could not be more beautiful! It is a perfect location on the lake! Lots of places to spend the day, either on the dock, in the shade on the porches or hammock, or playing games in the game room or on the big kitchen table. Communication with the owners was easy, they responded quickly, and they were very accommodating. We can’t wait to return!!

Beautiful house!

The house is absolutely beautiful and extremely well stocked with almost everything you can possibly need. The kids loved seeing the dear walking around the property and enjoyed sleeping in the lift. The drive into San Antonio was easy. The property manager is extremely responsive and lovely to work with. We'll definitely come back hopefully when the water level is back up. THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES WE MADE!

Hidden Gem.

We had a wonderful time at the Mary Mc. The home is perfect and has everything you can think off. A true hidden Gem. We fell in love and did not want to leave. The lake is amazing . We spent hours swimming and grilling at the dock. We made a lot of memories that we will never forget. Thank you Mary for sharing your home. We will definitely be back next summer 2022. Thanks again. Godbless.

Family Getaway 2020

We stayed at this property with our grown children and their spouses. There was plenty of room for everyone and we were able to have lots of together time and separate time when needed. There are steps (2-3) leading into different rooms- we had to block off alot of things w/ our 1 year old grandson, so if you have littles, bring gates.

Summer Vacation

This place was prefect we had an absolute blast! The home was beautiful and very clean. There was plenty to do at the house for all the ages that went. The evenings on the boat dock were our favorite! The water was great for swimming and they had a floating pad set out for us when we arrived so that was a bonus!

Paradise in the hills of Lakehills

This property has everything you want and more! From the house to the two backyard patios to the dock. We enjoyed it all. Location was perfect with eye dropping views of sunsets. Property was secure with parking gate and ample amount of lighting around property and dock at night. Check-in/out were easy. Property was clean and kitchen had everything you could think of to cook meals and entertain. Highlights-3 shower head in master bath👍🏾, floating mat and dock, loft area/games and paved path to dock. Cons- if you bring your own water crafts finding an OPEN (not full) public ramp during covid maybe challenging. No covered boat dock for our boat because owner had their boat in slit. New listing so Initial Booking details were always changing-Pro- owners kept our initial price as booked.

Perfection

Our family of six (2 boys - 2 girls ages 9 - 14) had a fabulous vacation on this gorgeous property. Attaching our floating island to the already anchored swim pad off the doc provided the perfect private swimming hole on beautiful Lake Medina. We had the privilege of meeting the owner as we were departing and she was genuinely interested in hearing what could have made our perfect stay even better. The few questions we had during our stay were answered immediately. The home is VERY clean and all of the details have been thought of so you don’t have to. If giving this place consideration for you next visit BOOK it.

Wow'ed by this lakefront home!

Two families stayed here and plenty of space. Super clean. Fully equipped house. High quality beds, sheets, towels. Beautiful remodel and decorated. Loved the huge kitchen and dining table and view. Great location on deep water west facing.. Dock was a hit with an authentic diving board and lots of space to hang out, kayaks. And floating mat. Sound system on dock. Deck space and chimenea patio. Great for sunsets, star gazing and s'mores. Definitely return!
