Everyone's favorite swimming hole is located at Cool Waters Lake House.  Located 1/4 mile below Inks Dam, this unique area is known for occasional gentle rapids, privacy and very little boat noise and traffic.  The boulders offer a natural swimming park like no other place on the lake.

View of the water

Located on the Colorado arm of Lake LBJ near Kingsland, Burnet, and Marble Falls, Texas, just 60 minutes northwest of Austin and 80 minutes north of San Antonio, it is the perfect spot for one to eight people.  Many guests have frequent visits from friends and family who want to enjoy the good times also.  We can comfortably accommodate eight overnight guests.

  Jet skiing

While this area is a safe place for swimming and rafting, guests can safely water ski, jet ski, tube and wake board from this location.  A boat dock with jet ski ramps is available and this provides a good spot for fishing.  Visitors have caught a variety of fish in a variety of sizes.

hammock 

After a full day on the lake, hang up the jackets, relax in the hammock, or read a book on the patio.  The continuous shade from the many trees provides a nice break on hot, summer days.

Lake House Interior

There is plenty of room for everyone to gather around the rustic stone fireplace in the living room; a good spot for playing games, watching TV or a movie.  DirecTV satellite and a VCR are included.  The outdoor and indoor country kitchen are fully equipped with oven, smoker/grill, microwave, eating utensils, and a washer and dryer.

Front Bedroom  Front Porch Bedroom

The bedrooms boast cozy, comfortable beds with sitting areas in each.  Guests will want to flip a coin to see who gets to sleep in the front porch bedroom.  The cheerful colors create a pleasant, sunny room.  Large windows, including window beds, offer great views of the river.  Kids love to sleep here and look out at the stars and the sparkling water at night.  It's a great place for morning coffee while watching the ducks, squirrels and jumping fish.

Vernons Vacation Lake House

The lake house has also been used by Austin and Las Vegas businesses for day and week-end retreats.  It is a perfect place to get away from the phones and interruptions.  Special arrangements for meals, etc. can be arranged with local businesses through Cool Waters Lake House.  We have fax, Internet access and three phone lines available.  Video conferencing will become available upon area access.   Recommendations are available upon request.

We all had a fabulous time!  I'm telling everyone I know about your cozy, peaceful hidden treasure.  The pictures on the website, the amenities, and reasonable price made me decide to select your place over any others.  I originally found the link through the Highland Lakes web site.   Thanks a lot.  Ken Sternac & his posse.

We have enjoyed your beautiful home immensely!   What a wonderful place to enjoy time with family and friends.  Thanks so much for a beautiful weekend.  The Silvas

It was quiet and comfortable.  The kids had a great time fishing and boating.  The time passed so quickly and the kids hated to leave.   We look forward to a return visit.  Scott & Linda

This is what life is all about...paths crossed, memories made and friendship created.  Thanks from the bottom of our hearts for all and everything you did for us.  Harry & Juanita

Thank you for a great vacation.  We enjoyed all the comforts of home but still on the lake.  The boat access was great and we caught many fish right off the dock.  We appreciate yoiur warm hospitality and look forward to coming back.  The Fosters
