Seahorse Cove
Drop a fishing line in Lake Buchanan off the shore or sunbathe on the beach to bask in the slow pace of life here at Seahorse Cove. This spacious property sits right on one of Texas’s best bass fishing lakes, also stocked with catfish and gar. Tie off your boat on-site in the cove or slide a rented kayak into the water from the sandy stretch of beach. If you’re up for some cliff jumping, you can explore Inks Lake State Park about nine miles to the south. There are several nearby wineries and the Vanishing Texas River Cruise is definitely worth checking out. A convenience store and Buchanan General Store are nearby and Burnet is only 15 minutes away if you want to visit Fort Croghan Historic Museum, the Hill Country Motorheads Museum, or buy groceries.
Originally a Texas Ranger’s bunkhouse, this beautiful 1930s home retains all its original vintage charm from a location atop a cove shaped like a horse’s head. Take in the calming lake views and gorgeous sunsets as you let your worries slip away. The full kitchen, along with the stone fireplace and large windows, gives you plenty of space to spread out, while the cozy cabin makes a perfect spot for kicking back after a long day in the sunshine. Connect to the free WiFi to post photos of your big catch, treat your friends to a BBQ using the gas grill, or step back outside to build a fire in the firepit. Depending on what time of the year you’re here, you’ll behold beautiful wildflowers, various trees, and other flora, along with deer, foxes, owls, American pelicans, and more.
End your days gazing at the spectacular night skies and relaxing in your own secluded oasis.
