Spent 2 nights at this house. It was much bigger than I expected. Kids loved the foosball, pool table and ping pong table. One recommendation is to update the board games/puzzles. There were some missing parts. Overall great house, great location, look forward to visiting it in the summertime when it's warmer and we can really enjoy the water activities

The location and access to the water was perfect. Also the layout of the home is perfect for families. But, the smell…. The smell coming from the front of the house is horrible. I had to buy air fresheners just to tolerate it. They do allow pets which is great, but there is a very strong urine and mildew smell coming from the rugs and the rec room. It was so bad we couldn’t even enjoy playing ping pong and had to keep the door shut. If they can get the smell under control, it would be a perfect rental.

This home had everything our family needed to be comfortable, have fun, and spend good quality time together. From the fire pit right on the water, to the big yard for our dog, to the boathouse deck, to the great spaces inside, our whole family had a fantastic time. Aside from being lakefront with an incredible view down the lake, we loved how close we were to Inks Lake State Park, the Longhorn Caverns, and restaurants of downtown Kingsland. Can’t wait to come back!

The lakehouse is beautiful. We enjoyed basking in the sun and kayaking right from the backyard.
4 star is due to some housekeeping items that could of used a more thorough attention that we had to handle ourselves in order to be able to use the backyard.
Definitely would recommend.

We have stayed in Ski Shores twice now this year. We LOVE it. It really is the perfect place. It is only my husband, myself and our dog. And yes it is quite big for us but it offered everything we need and want. The yard is great, big trees for plenty of shade. One of these days we will use the fire pit right by the water and dock. The boat dock is perfect. We require the boat lift and it worked great. The boat launch is literally 5 houses down. The house has everything you need for any type of cooking/ grilling. The only issue we had was they only had two kitchen towels. I’m sure they will fix that.

I’ve been renting on Lake LBJ for many years. This house is on a great street and perfectly situated on the Colorado arm of the lake. The home is older with modest improvements. First impression was that it had sat vacant for a while. Overgrown bushes, yard appeared it had not been mowed and was covered with molting bark from the neighbor’s trees. (Haha, the yard crew arrived when we were packing to leave!) Windows are grimy and web covered. Decent wood deck in the back but it badly needs pressure washed/sealed and was covered with bark, debris and junk. The wood chairs by the firepit are warped and cracking.
The boat/jet ski lifts were the best part of the home. The cabling and motors are in good shape on both lifts and they operated perfectly! The deck above boat dock is very nice and shaded in the evening but the webbing is torn on the loungers making them useless. The closure is missing from the gate that goes out over the water so the gate swings freely. A chair is positioned with the legs over the cabling to hold the gate closed. The GFCI breaker at the dock won’t stay engaged so the yard lights won’t stay on.
Inside, we had to wash dirty sheets and a mattress cover from one of the bunk beds. Otherwise, the bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean. The kitchen/dining areas were clean. The bottom drawer on the stove is broken. The small pantry has a lot of food items, apparently from previous renters, and the floor mop, broom, dust pan etc. are stored there so we pass

Had an amazing couple of days with my girlfriend at this gorgeous home. No boat required to enjoy this amazing home, just sit back and enjoy the views.

We all want to come back next summer!! There's lots of room to spread out, great view thru large windows facing the lake. The kids especially enjoyed jumping off of the top deck of boat dock!
It was wonderful to have a reliable boat lift this year with ramps for jet skis....and ample parking spaces for 3 families.
Loved the lake theme decor throughout the house, too.
We were looking forward to our coffee by the water the first
morning, but were disappointed that the Keurig was inoperable. Water wouldn't stop pouring out. Thank goodness
there was a backup Mr. Coffee Maker on the countertop and filters in pantry.....just had to make quick trip to buy some Folgers! The only other housekeeping issue was the
noticeable odor as we walked into the bunk room. Made me
wish I'd brought some pinesol and a mop!
Overall, great accommodations!! The beautiful lush green grass made it a very picturesque setting!

We loved the spacious great room where we could all hang out. Plenty of room, indoors and out, with 2 decks and a wide hammock under a shade tree. We’ll book this one again!

Such a fun house . From the pool table , ping pong to goose all you will never bored .
Then go outside . The dock is first class !

We have stayed in the area before in a bigger home with more bells and whistles but we actually liked this one more! The house is a one story with only 1 small flight of stairs outside. The bedroom set up was perfect with a big open kitchen/living room. Kids fished, jumped, kayaked and floated on big mat. When kids needed a break from the sun they could play ping pong, pool, foose ball or board games. Easy cleanup. We rent properties based on the dock because that’s where we spend 90% of our time, and it was perfect!! Will definitely stay here again.

My friends and I had the most relaxing retreat over the weeknd, all of the outdoor sitting areas gave us different wondrful views the nice breeze made it all feel so serene. Kayaks were nice to beable to get on the water, although it was very windy and there were many boats on the water, we found a little inlet that gave us some relief from the we waves. We will definitely be coming back to this one!

There were so many more personal family comforts in the actual house than the description which added to the sense of luxury: dozens of fun games/puzzles, an Alexa, extra cozy throw blankets, a fusbol table plus a pool table hidden beneath the ping pong table with all the supplies! The window shades were perfect black out for sleep, the beds were comfortable and I even appreciated the heater fan in the bathroom post shower. There is a sweet little river offshoot a few houses away that was fun to kayak when the river was too windy for younger kids. My very curious, escape artist dog was completely foiled by the excellent fencing in the back yard, too. Great place to relax, enjoy the sunrise, and bond with the family. It is pricy but they don't skimp on anything.

Great house layout. Loved the outdoors. Had some pet hair and pet smells, but nothing that would keep me from coming again. Did a fall trip this year and will look into a summer trip to enjoy the water even more!

Upside: Nice, clean, comfortable. Family enjoyed the kayaks, pool table, ping-pong, and Foosball tables. Well equipped kitchen. Downside: 10 am check-out and 4 pm check in. Paid for two days but really only got about one and a half, at most. Also, didn't appreciate being asked to empty all trash receptacles, start dishwasher, and take towels to washer before check out. Seems like we paid a hefty cleaning fee, so why are we expected to also clean? Oh, and what are we paying for in the "host fee"? Got a couple of texts from host. Nothing more. But, again, house was great.

We took a late vacation with our family. Ski Shores was a good house, just the right size and was comfortable for our crew when we were done on the water. Beds were very firm was the most challenging issue. Our contact with property manager (Melissa) went above and beyond with not only communication but kitchen was lacking a mixer and she supplied one for us. Our family would stay at this property again.

My friends and I have been renting houses on LBJ for years. This was our first time at Ski Shores and it did not disappoint. Nice house, deck and sweet dock with a deck above. All of my messages to Vacasa were answered quickly including concern over the boat lift making bad noises. The local team came out and looked at it and put our minds at ease. Only challenge is somewhat limited parking but outside that a great house.

We loved this vacation home! This house is small but provides the perfect setting for a busy day on the lake. The kids loved the double decker boat dock where they could jump off the top. The stretch of the river was gorgeous and perfect for waterskiing, tubing, etc. The inhouse amenities were nice including a nice kitchen, large table for eating, propane grill, etc. We hope to be back!
