Hello! Thank you for considering staying at the Birdnest Family Lake House. My husband, David, and I purchased the home in January 2021. The Birdnest Lake House has had a positive VRBO rental experience since 2016, and we look forward to the privilege of serving the same 5 star customer service as the previous owners.
4 Bedroom/3 Bathroom with Lake View
Lots of room for Social Distancing! The lake is currently open and we are taking reservations.
The Birdnest Lake House is a spacious 4 Bed/3 Bath updated home on beautiful Lake McQueeney. Located on a quiet street with easy access to Interstate 10 and Hwy 46.
Our two story home has 2 bedrooms/1 full bath downstairs with a living area and kitchen. The upstairs has 2 bedrooms/2 full baths and large kitchen, dining and open living areas. The home can sleep 14 comfortably.
The main living space and newly updated kitchen is on the second floor. Entertaining is easy on the large granite island (seating 6) and family style table (seating 8). Relax and watch the big screen TV in the family room on comfortable leather couches or just enjoy the picturesque view of the lake.
The home was remodeled in 2011, and a second kitchen was created on the first floor with an additional dining and seating area. This area has recently been updated with new living area furniture and a dedicated work space area for those who may need to work (or school) remotely. We have upgraded WIFI and extenders for full home coverage.
The home is perfect for multiple families renting or when cooking for large groups. No problem with refrigerator space, we have 2 in addition, we have two wine refrigerators.
Plenty of parking underneath the car port (room for 6 cars). For those bringing a boat or jet skis, we have a fully enclosed boat house with an electric lift, and a kayak for use. Our neighborhood's private boat launch is available for guests as well. We have a large fenced backyard (great for pets) and the lake is just steps away from the backdoor.
There is a spacious dock over the water with table and chairs provided. Not a 'sun seeker'? No problem, our home has a wrap around porch on the 2nd level that provides shade most of day. Great for enjoying your morning coffee or for watching the sun go down! The wrap around porch railing has recently been updated to incorporate safety for children and pets to allow you to peacefully take time to take in the views!
Lots to do at our home whether it be boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, or just laying in the hammock. We are in close proximity to New Braunfels and Gruene, TX for daily excursions or to pick up last minute shopping needs.
NOTE: For smaller groups, we would consider renting out just the lower level (2 bedroom/1 bath) that can sleep up to 10 comfortably. Access to all of the same amenities but no access to upper level of the home. Inquire with the owner for pricing and info on this option.
