About this property
Inks Lake Open Water and Pet friendly home
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 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!
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 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!
What a lovely place on Inks Lake! Beautiful spacious yard with plenty of outdoor seating. The home has great windows from all the bedrooms and the 2 living areas, and is comfortable and roomy. Very pretty inside and out!
Inks lake is a beautiful location and this house in particular with its long driveway and mature trees on the lake side conveys a park-like setting. The house is nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable. There are friendly ducks around the lake and deer to be spotted. I'd enjoy staying here again.
I spent my life growing up on Inks Lake. This house was just what we needed for our family. Plenty of room, very clean, amazing lake views from every room. The property has generous lake front and access. The property owner was easy to work with and gracious. Highly recommend and I can’t wait to go back.
We stayed during this Christmas holiday and wasn't disappointed. The house itself has so much character and charm. Put all that charm in front of a beautiful lake full of large catfish, all the deer you want to watch, and the serenity of it all!! Loved it and can't wait to go back! The host was also wonderful to work with! Thanks Brandi!
We absolutely loved this home! It is better than the pictures! The entire back of the home faces a gorgeous yard and your private dock on the lake! The decor was like modern, boho. We hope to rent again sometime! The host Brandi was amazing with communication, before and during our stay!
Very nice home right on the lake! Wonderfully shaded back yard with huge oak trees. A great porch for drinking your morning coffee. Recently updated mid century modern interior. A very comfy place to stay, we'll be back!
My family stayed the weekend at Brandi’s to watch the 2024 eclipse. It was the perfect place and we had an amazing view of totality! The house was comfortable, clean, and spacious. The large yard and private dock make the property special. We spent most of our days outside playing, canoeing, and fishing (with our own gear). Brandi was easy to communicate with and a great host. We would definitely like to come back here again!
This beautiful lakeside home was the perfect place for our family and 2 dogs! This MCM home is so beautifully restored. I loved all the original windows, which looked out onto the lake. We enjoyed sitting on the large back porch and watching the dogs play under massive trees that shade the big backyard. The wind coming off the lake cooled the near was near 100 degrees days - and made it pleasant. We did alot of cooking, floated in the lake, kayaked and fish - but most of all we made memories! We hope to return for a longer trip next time!!
