About this property

Unplug and relax! (No WiFi or TV)
Beautiful and comfortable natural stone house with great views from multi-level decks and a private dock on peaceful Council Creek cove of Lake Buchanan in the scenic Texas Hill Country. This warm and inviting 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, one-story home features a Master bedroom with great views of the trees and lake, and a sliding glass door to the expansive decks. The living room features wood floors and a beautiful wood-burning, rock fireplace. The open, island kitchen has all the necessary amenities, and the dining table has picture window views of the bird feeder, trees and lake beyond.

The multi-level decks offer great views of the lake and wildlife during the day, and awesome celestial gazing at night. A large gas grill is available to cook meals, as well as a chiminea where you and your friends can cozy up with your favorite beverages during cooler times. Walk down the scenic rock path to the lake and take a dip, cast a line, or just relax on the private dock. So many great options without leaving the property!

Guests have access to the entire property except a private, locked storage area. There's room to park 3-4 cars in the driveway, including one space under the carport. I'm available by phone to assist with any questions or issues before and during your stay.

Beautiful Townhouse with awesome views

The furnishings and decor were better than any that I have seen in any condo or home that I have rented to date. The sunsets looking across the lake were spectacular. The community that the home sets in is absolutely amazing as well. The wife is already looking for a place to purchase in the area. I will definitely be renting here again in the future

Perfect getaway

My two girlfriends and I had a perfect girls weekend! The location is great, only a little over 1 hour drive from south Austin but still felt like we were out of town on vacation. Loved the views, big dock, and landscape around the property. Saw lots of deer and other wildlife. The walk down to the lake is very doable, even caring coolers, floaties just take it slow and steady. There were a few floaties provided on the dock and a kayak for guest use. The kitchen was fully stocked. We were not able to figure out the grill (lack of knowledge and probably best for our safety :). But it looked like a nice set up. The beds were comfy. We also enjoyed not having wifi, and felt we enjoyed every moment instead of being on our phones. We were still able to use bluetooth to play music on our jukebox. Bliss on Lake Buchanan had everything we needed and more, would definitely stay again!

Great place on the lake

Wonderful place for family vacation. We spent most of our time down on the dock and on the lake with our jet ski. We really enjoyed our stay.

We love this place!

My family and I have stayed here twice now. The kids love swimming off of the dock. The house is great. Very clean. The view from the kitchen is awesome. I loved the fact that there is no tv or wifi. It was great for the whole family to take a break from electronics and just spending quality time with eachother. The host is very nice and very prompt when you have a question. We will look to book here again next time. Thank you Doug and Bliss.

About the host

Hosted by Doug Stephan and Bliss Blodget-Stephan

Doug, a native Texan, and Bliss, a "Yankee" from Connecticut, both moved away from our respective home states after college to work at various jobs before simultaneously landing a job at a company in Dallas, TX where we married and settled. We have traveled around the World, and love all things outdoors. Bliss also loves reading and pedicures and Doug's favorite activities include golf, biking, skiing (water and snow), snowboarding, hiking and just relaxing on a beach. Both of us love relaxing and entertaining at the lake house. We think you'll love it to.

Why they chose this property

Doug started visiting Lake Buchanan with a family friend when he was in the second grade (a loooong time ago). He visited often, usually several times each year, and loved the freedom, tranquility, and beauty of the area. Doug always dreamed that he would one day have a property on Lake Buchanan so his kids could enjoy the same wonderful experiences as he did growing up. Bliss and Doug made that dream come true when they purchased this home in August 1998.

What makes this property unique

Council Creek is one of the prettiest areas on Lake Buchanan. Legend has it that Council Creek was so-named because Native American tribes met at the creek to "council" and negotiate treaties, so it is also historically significant. There are many natural and geological points of interest in the area as well.

The thing that makes this property so unique is that it's perched high above the lake which provides gorgeous views of the water and surrounding hills and trees. However, a short walk down the hill allows you to be on the lake and enjoy all the benefits the water has to offer. Natural flora and fauna are abundant. The multi-level decks provide a feeling of being in a tree house which is so peaceful. More than one friend who has accompanied us to this house has been inspired to purchase their own lake house.
