Great year-round activities:

Spring: the wildflowers will be blooming, fish will be spawning (fantastic fishing beginning in late February, early March) and the lakes won't be crowded!

Summer: warm water, fantastic sunsets, lots of water activities (boating, swimming, fishing, kayaking to name a few)

Fall: usually warm temps through November and a great time to be on or around the lake, watch football, golf on one of the many nearby courses

Winter: bring the family together around the holidays, enjoy the many fantastic amenities around the lake including wineries (Perisso's is excellent and only 5-10 minutes away), Enchanted Rock and superb Texas BBQ at Cooper's Open Pit in Llano.

Every season offers something wonderful out at the lake and we invite you to come experience it for yourself!

Jet Ski weekend
Very nice! A definite do-over. This was the best stocked home we have ever been in. It had extra life vests if needed, beach towels, an extra sleeping bag, excellent kitchen gear—even a hand held mixer. The lounge areas were very nice. Upper and lower decks. We had 2 ping pong players that went at it every evening. Plenty of seating. No need to bring your own chairs. We loved it. The only issue was the wifi. It only worked the first night we were there. We kept expecting it to correct itself (we are used to less-than-stellar- Spectrum at home, who’s connection is frequently interrupted, but usually corrects on its own.). We got so used to using our hot spots that we didnt realize we still had no service until day 3 of 5. Made a call to owner, who wanted to come check it, but we didn’t want the intrusion at that point. So he gave us instruction (disconnect the router, . . .), but we just kept on without it. It was no biggie. So we never found out if the usual maneuvers would have worked.

Calm Cove
Lovely property inside and out. Had everything we needed. Clean, comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable. The ONLY downside is the water is very shallow so the fishing wasn’t great like we’d hoped. And there were more turtles than I have ever seen in one place that kept stealing our bait lol. So much so that we nicknamed it Turtle Cove. But we enjoyed relaxing and playing some ping pong.

Delightful
We had a great time; the property was beautiful and clean and very well stocked. The master bed is extremely comfortable. The cove is as described - very calm. I would not hesitate to tie my boat off to the dock but we rented the slip and that was great too. Communication with owner was great - they were very helpful with a few questions I had about the area. We will definitely be back.

Can’t wait to come back!
Clean and well stocked with the things you might forget. If not, HEB grocery is nearby. Our teens loved the ping pong and darts; they even walked to Dairy Queen for a treat. We loved the no wake cove for our SUPs and kayaks. House faces south, therefore it is shaded most all day! We hope our schedule allows for trip back in the future!

Grandkid Haven
This was a lovely home with plenty of amenities to keep 3, active kids happy. They swam, fished, kayaked, paddle boarded, played ping pong & ran around a lovely little yard. The downstairs bunk room was where the kids wanted to sleep. It was a perfect spot for them. The upstairs portion of the house was perfect for us. The living room was well furnished and relaxing. The master bed was comfy. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, pans and utensils. Our week with the grandkids was awesome and we were able to make some wonderful memories. Thank you to the Galyens for sharing their home with us.

I cannot say enough good things about this property! Our family was able to rest and rejuvenate in this beautifully appointed lake house. The surroundings were just what we needed and the cove was perfect for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. We can’t wait for our next trip! The owners were wonderful to work with, too.

Perfect Holiday Stay on the Lake
We had a great stay at this property with a total of 10 guests ranging in age from 13 to 50. The property was able to accommodate our group perfectly. The house was well stocked with the essentials in the kitchen with plenty of dishes, cooking appliances, utensils, you name it. We cooked all meals but one at the house. The owner was very accommodating with our request to use their boat lift which was perfect for our 22’ wake surfing boat. When we arrived at the property, the kids decided that they wanted to rent the SUP board and canos which Mike was quick to respond to our request. The kids had a blast on the quiet cove - the water is very calm with little boat traffic. We all agreed that we would definitely like to come back to this house for another stay in the future.

Wonderful stay
We stayed 2 weeks at this property. It was very clean upon arrival, had everything we needed to cook, clean, maintain, and play. The no-wake cove is perfect for floating/relaxing, far enough away from the action on the main channel, yet close enough to get back into the mix when ready. Proximity to the HEB and local coffee shops made it all the better. Highly recommend this rental.

Perfect lake house getaway!
We took the grandparents and two teens with us on the stay. The lake house is located in a no wake cove which made it very enjoyable for paddle boarding and kayaking for kids (all of which owner supplied). House was very comfortable for the six of house, but it would definitely accommodate more. It was super clean, well decorated, and made you feel right at home. The owner has plenty of games, kayaks, and SUP to keep the kids busy. I highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Mike & Lynn

Host profile image
We have lived in Austin for years and love the many lakes, rivers and natural beauty that make the area so special. We enjoy travel, hiking, live music, sporting events and mostly keeping up with our two teenage sons.

Why they chose this property

The Highland Lakes meander through the beautiful Texas Hill Country and features Lake LBJ which is an easy drive from Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort-Worth and Houston. Unlike other Highland lakes, Lake LBJ is a constant level lake which means enjoyment year-round.

We have been making memories on the Highland lakes for the past 20+ years including Lake Austin, Lake Travis, Lake Buchanan and Lake LBJ which is a large lake nestled in a beautiful spot in the Hill Country.

Calm Cove Lakehouse is situated on 100 feet of Lake LBJ waterfront, in a large and quiet no-wake cove. The best access on the lake near the intersection of the Colorado arm, Llano arm and main body of Lake LBJ. Historic rail with trestle bridge at the entrance of the cove which is a popular spot for viewing the bridge, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and more.

The cove opens up directly to Colorado arm which offers deep water great for boating, tubing, water skiing, wakeboarding, wakesurfing, hydrofoiling and more.

We love this property because you get the best of all worlds on Lake LBJ - big water in the cove, easy access to every part of the lake and many beautiful views to soak in while you are relaxing on one of the large patios or on the dock.

What makes this property unique

Lake LBJ, originally called Lake Granite Shoals, the reservoir was formed in 1950 by the construction of Granite Shoals Dam by the Lower Colorado River Authority.

The lake was renamed to Lake Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965 in honor of US President Lyndon Baines Johnson. President Johnson and Mrs. Johnson owned a ranch on the lake where they entertained national and foreign dignitaries during his vice presidency and presidency.

Lake LBJ is one of seven fresh water reservoirs that make up Highland Lakes formed by several dams on the Colorado River. This portion of the river winds southeast from its headwaters near the border of Texas and New Mexico to Matagorda Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.

The dams provide flood control and are used to generate hydroelectric power and recreational opportunities. While the Lower Colorado River Authority is not required to maintain a constant level at Lake LBJ the level rarely varies by more than a foot so it is considered by many as a "constant level" lake.

The constant level and location a short drive from Austin make it a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts and weekend vacation homeowners. The towns of Marble Falls, Granite Shoals, Kingsland, Horseshoe Bay, Highland Haven, and Sunrise Beach surround the lake offering plenty of restaurants, shopping and community events around the area.
