The house is charming in its decor and overall open atmosphere both inside and outside. The owner thought of everything that would make a guest comfortable. Rena is a very friendly and welcoming person. We all had the best relaxing time. It was wonderful to have a large screened in porch

Family Reunion

The Farm House is the perfect accommodation for several families or large gathering. Loved all the comfy beds, several options to sit, eat and play games. There is a screened porch facing the lake and a large lawn with shade trees. Kitchen is well stocked with cookware and appliances. We definitely recommend this rental!

Beautiful Location

Our family of 7 adults, 1 teen and 2 infants all fit comfortably in this cute farmhouse. The lake is very low this summer so we had a lot of beach front to play on. The screened in porch is a plus to keep the bugs away while enjoying the morning breeze.

Perfect 90th Birthday Gathering

We gathered at the Farmhouse for our dad's 90th birthday party, staying a few days before other family joined us for the weekend. For the party, the Farmhouse easily accommodated the 46 people who celebrated with us for the day. And despite the lower water levels at the lake, everyone had a fantastic time walking down to the water, playing games, and a evening fire in the large fire in the pit. The Farmhouse was well stocked with a great kitchen, good towels, and laundry, and comfy beds. We had some fabulous sunrises from the screen porch! Booking was easy and Rena promptly responded regarding any questions. I would definitely stay again!

Lake View Villas at Buchanan Dam

The home was perfect for our families end of summer weekend trip. Home and property was very clean. Adequate cooking utensils/ grill. We took paper plates, plastic utensils, etc. We took our beach towels. Loved the washer and dryer. We had no wet swim suits/ towels laying around. There was enough room for all my family. We used two queen air up mattresses for some of the kids. Great location. Water was low. The men fished in Bass Tracker, two smaller fishing boats. Kids caught a few perch using kayaks. Caught 9 catfish off the land. Children and gradkids enjoyed kayaking, fishing, grilling, playing games, watch Olympics. games Thhomegrounds were were well kept.

A Family Celebration

We had a surprise 50th anniversary celebration for our parents. We rented both the farmhouse and beach house. There was plenty of room for the 14 of us to stay. The grounds were well kept and we enjoyed the summer breezes in the ample shade under the trees. Additional family members joined us during the day and we still had plenty of room as we hung out near the water, on the large screened porch or inside. The kitchens in both homes were well stocked. Rena and Rex were wonderful during the planning stages, helping with recommendations and answering our inquiries promptly. They even put out a sign welcoming my parents to their celebration along with a bottle of Prosecco. Spyke’s BBQ and Splash Boat Rentals were great, too.

Wonderful Property

I cannot say enough good things about this property. It was absolutely perfect for our family and was more stocked with essentials than any VRBO property I've stayed in. The house was spacious, giving all of us enough space to be on our own or all together in the numerous gathering places. Rena was so easy to deal with and responded to any question I had immediately. I will definitely be staying here again!

About the host

Host profile image
Rex and Rena bought this property in June of 2018 from a family that had owned it for over 100 years. We both went to school in the Austin area and own property in Llano County. We recently sold our weekend Lakehouse close by when we decided to permanently moved to the Hill County in 2014. We renovated two vacation Villas side by side with a Farmhouse and Beach house theme. Charming and relaxing!

Why they chose this property

Feels like home! The Villas are nestled on property overlooking Lake Buchanan! This property is perfect for family reunions, wedding's or any other large events by booking both Villas, or just rent one Villa and enjoy a small group of friends and family! Grab a chair and enjoy the sunrise and sunsets! Buchanan is also known for its great fishing!

What makes this property unique

The Farmhouse Villa sleeps 14! Access to the water (distance to water depends on water levels). Bring a life jacket and while you are packing don't forget your fishing pole! Pet Friendly! Full kitchen. Screened in patio on the Farmhouse! Charcoal BBQ Pits and picnic tables on the property!
