The Shorewood | Dog-Friendly Lake Retreat

Summary:

The Shorewood Lakeside Oasis, Pet-Friendly Getaway.

- A waterfront oasis! Two stories, 3600 sq ft, lake swimming, fishing & sunset views

- Big yard, covered boat dock, cabana bar, lounge areas, fire pit & lakeside dining

- 3 living rooms, scenic 2nd-floor veranda, ping-pong table, Smart TV w/Roku & fast Wi-Fi

- On LBJ Lake with a boat launch just a mile away & a 10-min drive to Marble Falls

- Pet friendly too! Book today for the ultimate lake vacation or fun work retreat!



The Space:

At Lake LBJ’s waterfront, enjoy outdoor fun and relaxation with a large backyard, covered boat dock, jet ski ramps, lake swimming and fishing, a boat launch just a mile away, and lots of sunset moments! The Shorewood is like a big wet and wild playground for kids ages 5 to 95!



You’ll have lots of luminous living space over two stories, 3,600 sq ft, and 3 separate living rooms to spread out and get comfortable at The Shorewood home. This lakeside oasis is perfect for a getaway weekend with friends, enjoying quality time with family, or hosting a small work retreat.



When it’s time to dine, The Shorewood has everything you need to cook like a chef and eat like a king. The kitchen’s recently remodeled with modern appliances and a separate dining room that seats 8 comfortably. There’s also a breakfast bar with 4 barstools and 3 grills for cooking up the catch of the day.



Enjoy lake views while eating outside on the wrap-around balcony, lakeside dining table, or at one of the seven barstools at the cabana bar! Enjoy a sunset toast from your second-story balcony at the end of each fun-filled day, or relax with a cocktail and the view!



If you need to squeeze in some remote work, you’ll have a dedicated workspace (desk) in the queen bedroom, plus reliable Wi-Fi at the property. There’s a Smart TV with cable and Roku for relaxing downtime moments on the sofa. For indoor fun, you can play Monopoly in the game room, enjoy a Ping Pong battle, or maybe tell ghost stories at night in the Bunk Room.



When exhausted from a fun-filled day, have a restful night in any of The Shorewood’s spacious bedrooms. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs (one with a king bed and one with a queen), one king master bedroom downstairs with Bedroom 4, the bunk room, attached. The bunk room is spacious, with 4 full beds, a queen sleeper sofa, and a big TV. It’s a great room for the kids!

Great location and layout, just needs some TLC

Great layout for families, location and the property management team was very responsive. Comfortable beds, towels and even had kid skis. The house is in need of some general maintenance especially for the price we paid… old grills, some of the furniture is worn out, sliding doors get stuck, boat lift gets stuck and needs to be either replaced or fixed. Overall, we had a blast at LBJ.

Spacious and relaxing

Overall we had a fantastic experience. The house was beautiful, spacious and well-equipped, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. There was a minor issue with one of the neighbor's dog who wandered onto the property several times which caused some tension, especially since we had our own dogs with us. It seems the dog could easily come over from the neighbor's dock. Despite this small setback, the stay was otherwise outstanding and I would recommend this property!

I liked the house and location. We did have some issues with fridge door. Fortunately they have another small fridge where we transfered our goods.

Overall the house has plenty of space and the kids enjoyed the ping pong table.

the size of the home was great for us. 5 adults and 4 children. We played ping pong every day and also loved being out on the water in our boat.Thebedrooms and bathrooms were up to date and comfortable. We had difficulty with the AC. the service provider was attentive to our needs and got it running. He was patient and respectful. We also had a bit of a problem with the ice maker.

A fantastic getaway vacation

Our experience renting this awesome home was so great and joyful making hard to describe in words. The house itself has so much to offer guests of all different ages lots of exciting elements to ensure they maximize their fun, joy, and excitement. As you may see in the photos so many areas of different seating setups to enjoy the lake views, the cleanliness and neat furniture along with the renovated updates, super stacked with items you may need to use and enjoy. Hard to experience it all in just two days. I have to say I am most blown away by the amazing management team who went above and beyond to ensure our full satisfaction and sky rocket our fun experience, always prompt in responding immediately to our questions and providing us needed information about the stay, out of hundreds of previous rentals I will always remember how great the management was for this property, we are most grateful!

Great location, average stay

Excellent location in both location on the lake and proximity to Marble Falls. Outdoor patio furniture needs an upgrade as it has little support and is covered in dirt and debris (would benefit to bring cushions inside when guests are not at the home). But the new lounge chairs on the dock were great. Bathrooms are all very nice and very updated, but the rest of the house is showing its age. Beds are comfy and common room areas are spacious. Kitchen is small but well stocked, though we unfortunately dealt with a few pest control issues (the cans of raid placed around the home clued us in that there could be problems). Must bring your own kayaks/SUPs. Great dock to launch off of, though you probably won’t swim right off the dock due to the algae. The outdoor kitchenette pictured is useless and run down. Tons of deer in the area which is fun. The dock is well shaded most of the day and the yard is well fenced for your pet friends. Overall had a fine stay. Lodgewell provides a text number to reach them and they always responded within 15 min.

Good location, but property wasn't property cleaned and sanitized. Need an exterminator!

The property wasn't properly cleaned or sanitized and in serious need of a really good exterminator. The kitchen area had ants crawling everywhere and there were cockroaches spotted throughout the property. Ughh...The photos were very misleading and we paid quite a bit per night. The patio seating was very dirty and covered in cobwebs. I really wanted to like this property, but couldn't get past how unclean it was and the infestation. I would think with all the fees, you would get the property cleaned and ready for guests. That's too bad. Nothing like having your daughter scream in the middle of the night, because there's a huge cockroach crawling on the ceiling...like seriously! At least the two bathrooms were renovated and clean. We did enjoy the game room. The sunset view was nice. The house was spacious. Other than that, I wouldn't come back or recommend to friends or family.

Hi Vivian, thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We are so happy you enjoyed the sunset and the spacious home! We sincerely apologize we didn't meet your expectations. We take our guest's experience and feedback seriously and we will definitely take your suggestions and run with them to improve the home. Since your departure, the construction on the bathroom was completed, we had our cleaners deep clean the home, and we have had pest control come out to the property and treat it. We understand how experiencing bugs in the home does not make for a relaxing vacation and we are deeply sorry for that. Unfortunately, palmetto bugs tend to seek respite from the heat indoors in the hotter months and we do suggest keeping all drains covered to help combat this issue. It's apparent that we dropped the ball on the cleaning of this property but we hope to provide a much better experience for all future guests. To any future guests reading this review, please feel free to reach out to us if you encounter any issues during your stay. There is so much we are able and willing to do to make sure our guests Lodgewell!

Snakes

When we arrived, the brick mailbox has been hit and was laying in the yard. Also the back porch screen, upper level, has a large rip. I reported both to management before entering. Front porch mat is trip hazard. House clean, although horribly musty. Flood damage seen on lower level, house had begun beautiful renovations until an obvious flood came. Flood lines visible on lower level. Humidifier helped. Smell, not great We brought our paddle boards in hopes of getting in the water, but I wouldn't recommend it. We watched snakes come and go from next door unkempt neighborhood park night and day. The snake landing area is right next to the rental. Highly recommend no on drink at the titk bar, uneven setting stones make bar stools a very bad idea, downstairs needs a large trash can. Good stuff...... Well lit, lots of space, luxurious bed downstairs, gets COLD AC, beautiful views
