About this property
Relaxing newly-renovated 3/2 lakeside retreat with private dock
Need a relaxing escape into nature while maintaining all the conveniences of home? Want to "get away" from the bustle of the city while being only a stone's throw from civilization? Then this beautiful, newly-renovated 3br/2bth house on Horseshoe Lake II is right for you! Just 9 miles from downtown Huntsville, this lakeside gem is in a wooded, secluded subdivision surrounding a private 51 acre lake of pristine, freshwater with no public lake access (no gas motors allowed)! Homeowners and guests only!
This home sleeps 10 (6 adults, 4 kids), has a very large back deck w/ bbq, a wi-fi connected home office w/ lake view, and a private dock. Sit on the dock's Adirondack chairs sipping coffee, lounge in a hammock with a cocktail, hop on the kayak, fish off the dock or in the rowboat, or just enjoy nature at its finest. No gas motors or jet skis are allowed on the lake (up to 7hp electric trolling motors only) so your peaceful time on the lake won't be disturbed. Then head to downtown Huntsville to enjoy the vibrant town scene and eat at top notch restaurants. Serenity without sacrificing convenience!

About the host
Hosted by Ronni Miller
We're Eric and Ronni Miller and we reside in Cibolo, TX (San Antonio suburbs) with our two daughters and parents. We're both in the education field and enjoy having time to step away to kayak on this magnificent, private lake or sit on our dock in Adirondack chairs with coffee or a cocktail. We both work in the San Antonio area and participate in the daily grind like everyone else, but are blessed to have this lakeside escape where we can unwind and reconnect with nature. We're excited to be hosts and look forward to sharing this wonderful place with our guests!
Why they chose this property
This property has been a dream come true for us. It is just an awesome, peaceful retreat. We love paddling out on the lake in the evening and sitting out until the stars fill the sky. If we weren't tied down to our jobs near San Antonio, we'd be out here every day. Unfortunately, we aren't able to live here full time yet, so we thought we'd share this wonderful place with the world and let our guests enjoy this slice of heaven when we can't be here ourselves. The closeness to a large town with all the great shopping and restaurants makes the location incredibly convenient. Being tucked away in a private subdivision makes it feel like your a million miles from civilization (even though it's only 9 miles to downtown!) and submersed in nature. We're honestly in shock that such a perfect retreat exists!
What makes this property unique
This is a PRIVATE lake for HOA members only. That means no public access, no loud boat motors, no jet skis, and no riff raff! It is just peaceful nature, great fishing, cranes, ducks, turtles, and even pelicans on occasion. We're constantly updating and adding features to the property. A kayak is available to use off of our private pier/dock. Hammocks swing in the trees in our backyard. Wonderful neighbors often join us for cookouts on our back deck, and the view just can't be beat when sitting in our Adirondack chairs on the dock. A seating area is currently near the lake at the property's edge, and we plan to add a larger sitting area with firepit soon!
