This 4 bedroom, 3 bath home on Inks Lake boasts 300 feet of water frontage and is a perfect getaway for a private weekend escape or a vacation destination for the family. Inks Lake, nestled in between Burnet and Llano in the beautiful Texas hill country, is constant level and the home of the popular Inks Lake State Park and Camp Longhorn.
This unique mid-century modern open floor plan home features large windows across the entire back of the home with amazing scenic lake views from every room. The kitchen and dining area offer plenty of space for meal preparation: double ovens, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker and utensils are provided. If you enjoy cooking outside, you're welcome to use the Rec-Tec pellet grill.
Enjoy the lake breeze and the hill country wildlife while you sip your morning coffee on the covered porch or down by the water on the pier. A beautiful, sprawling lawn down to the water finds butterflies, deer, squirrels, osprey and Canadian geese leading you to the private pier and water access. The area is ideal for swimming, fishing, canoeing (provided), stand up paddle board (provided) or floating peacefully on inner tubes with friends. The dock features plenty of space for sunbathing during the day or star gazing at night.
Even in the fall the lake offers beautiful foliage color and mild temps while you enjoy the quiet lake to yourself. You are welcome to bring a boat (up to 18') and tie it to the pier/boat dock (water depth 3'). Boat rentals are also available locally. There's only one public boat ramp at Inks State Park so boat traffic is normally lite. Boat trailers can be left in the parking area in front of the house.

We had a wonderful family reunion over Thanksgiving. The amenities were great, especially the pool table/ping-pong table combo in the game room. The new addition is splendid and the bunk beds are sturdy and comfortable. Caught tons of catfish from the dock totalling over 50 lbs. Thank you, Brandi!
WONDERFUL stay and a beautiful, nicely updated home. Great location on Inks Lake! Owner was super responsive and helpful, and the instructions and information was accurate and helpful. Would definitely rent again.
Absolutely loved this place! The yard with all the trees and deer that roam was picturesque. The house had all the amenities. The host was very responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend. I didn’t want to leave.
The property is beautiful with the huge trees and grassy yard. A dock to moor your boat and easy to get off and onto the lake. Plenty of room inside and a very comfortable stay! We will definitely visit again!
We had a great time. Large, super clean home with two family rooms and a game room! The kids kept themselves happy even when it rained. Everything we hoped for and more!
There is no way to summarize our stay-it was one of the best experiences EVER! The house is wonderful! It is furnished with first class items-no cost cutting! Kitchen is fully furnished with great appliances, dishes, etc. it was very comfortable for 4 paddle boarders-plenty of room, wonderful back porch and dock for watching sunrise and sunsets! We will go back again and again! Host is amazing!!!
We stayed here for a golf and birthday weekend! This house is beautifully decorated, perfectly situated and was the ideal place to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of lake living, if only for a few days! Thank you for sharing your lovely oasis!
Very nice older home fully stocked with everything you could need. lots of established trees and large sloped carpet grass lawn. Great fishing right off the pier. Couldn’t float in the water due to floating grass and muck but this might have been from the recent flooding and beyond the owners control and she was very helpful and responsive. We had a wonderful time and will be back.
Quick little getaway before school starts. Home was very well decorated and the view of the lake was beautiful. If you’re looking for a quiet ,serene place to disconnect, I highly recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brandi’s wonderful house on Inks. The house is super comfortable with everything you need. The lawn is huge with perfect shade and the dock was great for our boat. Couldn’t have asked for more!
We loved this beautiful property. Relaxing on the back porch, along the bank of the lake in the yard, or on the dock was just the kind of thing we were looking for. The host was responsive and helpful.
We loved this mid-century gem and its quiet, idyllic location right on Inks Lake. Lots of yard for the dog to run around in, for adult kids to play cornhole and throw the frisbee, even a canoe! A great time was had by everyone. Highly recommend and would definitely go back. Big bonus: Awesome AC!
