Two-story waterfront retreat with boat dock, two firepits & two kayaks
Green River Lodge - Lake LBJ
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Make a date at the lake at this relaxing waterfront retreat tucked away on the northern stretch of Lake LBJ, located directly across from a 150-acre nature sanctuary filled with an abundance of natural habitats, songbirds, shorebirds, and waterfowl. You'll feel like you've gone off the grid within this tranquil section of the Colorado River. Whether you're spending your days floating next to the dock, adventuring out on the provided blow-up kayaks, sampling the wares at local wineries, or just relaxing at home in the hammock, your stay here is sure to be the highlight of your next vacation in the heart of the state.
This charming, family-friendly vacation rental offers spectacular views of the water from both levels and almost every room. Prepare your favorite dishes in the well-equipped, full kitchen, complete with a wine fridge, and then dine shoulder to shoulder at the attached breakfast bar, out back on the furnished patio, or over the water on the covered dock. You'll also find a gas grill for putting a little extra char on your home-cooked menu. After meals, meet up in the lower-level living area to stream your favorite channels on the TV, or climb the spiral staircase and kick back in the second living space where you'll find a sofa bed, another TV, and a wide variety of board games for rainy day fun.
Back outside, enjoy 85 feet of waterfront on Lake LBJ, where you can also put your boat in from the neighboring lot, which offers one of only two neighborhood boat ramps. Bring your fishing rod and catch a five-pound bass - this quiet stretch of the lake provides great fishing. There are plenty of spots out back to relax, soak up the sunshine, and watch for visiting wildlife, so pick a chair or a chaise lounge and unwind. Toward evening, two firepits provide the perfect space to gather and recap the evening. Another eventful day awaits tomorrow!

Relaxing Getaway
Perfect getaway for a family or two couples. Very clean, great location and good fishing. My two year old had a blast watching the wildlife and catching his first perch. Three nights wasn’t long enough!
We really enjoyed our stay! Beautiful view with a layout that allowed us to be together but not on top of each other. Communication and accommodation was excellent! Thank you!

We loved the amenities ( lake toys, life vests, board games, etc). It was great to have access to the water right outside your back door.

HAD IT ALL!
Everything we needed to prepare meals - just your own food.
We loved fishing and floating off the dock and Burnett and Kingsland were nearby.
This place had everything we needed to relax and enjoy the river. Very clean home and grounds. Lots of fun in the river with kayaks, paddle boards, swimming and fishing. Thanks for thinking of everything and organizing it so that everything was super easy to find. Definitely would recommend to others and we would love to come back.

Perfect Lake Get Away
Nice location on the water. Quiet, peaceful place with fun water activities like kayaking and paddle boarding. Home had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Covered deck on the water was perfect for coffee. Fans made it very comfortable. Any questions asked answered by text quickly. Would definitely like to visit again.

Peaceful October retreat
We enjoyed this property in October. Not too many recreational vehicles on the river, so we were able to enjoy the wildlife from the dock. Sunrises and sunsets were amazing. The view directly across the river is the Fish Hatchery, a beautiful, undeveloped span with lots of trees and various species of birds.

Great summer retreat!
My husband and four teens/tweens loved the house and amenities. They had the best time paddle boarding, kayaking, and fishing (bring your own gear). Really nice location with beautiful scenery out each window. House has lots of inside and outside games. Nicely appointed kitchen with everything needed to make cooking a breeze.

This host thought of EVERYTHING
This is by far the best place we have stayed in our many travels and will book this place again. The host thought of everything. There was nothing lacking from this home. We were able to cook, enjoy company, relax, fish and feel like we are at home.

Everything that you need ... they offer!
It is a warm, cozy, and well set up home. Very organized and has everything that you need for a get away / vacation. The dock, kayaks, canoe, and fishing deck completes this home. It has a bit of everything for everyone. We would like tp return as soon as we can save up some money for another getaway.

Perfect Vacation
Just about everything during our stay was perfect. The upstairs area and bedroom was a perfect getaway from the teenaged boys! We all very much enjoyed the kayaks!! I am happy to report that I was the winner of the Colorado River Cornhole Championship. The boys are from Germany and had never played cornhole and they enjoyed it immensely! The peace and quiet was beyond amazing!

Amazing view and great property! We had an amazing time. Only issue was the tv. For whatever reason, the Roku remote didn’t work well. However, we spent the majority of our time outside!

Lovely home on the lake
My husband and I loved our stay this past weekend. The view of the lake from the many windows was stunning. There were so many places to enjoy relaxing outside from the upper porches to the lawn, as well as all around the dock area. The house was immaculate and had everything we could possibly need. The kitchen doors and drawers were even labeled so we could easily find everything. And the kitchen was large and a dream to cook and serve in. We will be back for sure!

Hidden Gem
We had a wonderful time during our stay! The view, amenities, and house were amazing! The kitchen was a great gathering place while inside and offered everything we needed. The kids were entertained by everything that was available. The only downside was the primary bedroom’s bed. It was way too soft and my husband and I kept rolling to the center of the bed. Next time we’ll just make the kids sleep in there.

Cute house
The property was nice, the space was nice, the location was just an inconvenience for us and no access to lbj because of the depth and boulders in the water. Not able to get a boat through. Great if you just want to fish and hang out at the house. I recommend this property for togethers but do not recommend if you have a boat and plan on accessing lbj from this property.
