Welcome to The White Cottage, a beautifully renovated waterfront retreat on the shores of Lake LBJ. Nestled behind a gate and surrounded by expansive grounds, this charming lakefront property blends boutique design, relaxed luxury, and classic Texas lake living.
Wake up to peaceful waterfront views, sip your morning coffee on the wraparound porch, and spend your days enjoying everything Lake LBJ has to offer. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel invited to slow down and embrace lake life, whether that's watching the sunset over the water, playing yard games on the waterfront lawn, enjoying a sunset cocktail, or walking barefoot through the lush green grass with your favourite furry friend by your side. With its timeless charm, boutique style, and sought-after Oakridge Estates location, The White Cottage is the perfect setting for your next lakeside escape.

Features many fantastic details throughout including a darling kitchen, hardwood floors, cottage white cabinetry, new appliances, and a glass cooktop. The dining and family rooms are designed in an open style with conversation and family in mind. The focal point of the living room is the high ceiling and the beautiful beams, however, the finest feature is a wall of windows that brings the lake right into your lap as you are relaxing on the living room couch.
The master suite is furnished with a king sized bed, flat screen TV with all your favourite streaming apps and view of the beautiful Lake LBJ.

The décor and ambiance throughout the entire home will welcome you the moment you step through the threshold. No need to over pack for this trip as this property is fully furnished with bed linens, bath towels, lake towels, kitchen utensils, and a full sized washing machine and dryer.
The outdoor spaces were made for easy lake living. Gather around the 8 person dining table for al fresco meals, fire up the grill for a family cookout, or unwind with a good book as the breeze rolls in off the water. When adventure calls, the side dock provides convenient boat tie-up and easy access to Lake LBJ, making it simple to spend your days cruising, swimming, fishing, and creating unforgettable memories on the water.

A gtoup of friends stayed for the weekend. The property is great for our dog to run free. Plenty of dock space to be outside all weekend. We will save and rent again
The property was perfect for our family getaway. Plenty of room for 5 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs. We enjoyed fishing from the dock, plenty of gated yard for the dogs, plenty of seating inside and outside. Overall the house and apartments/exterior rooms were decorated beautifully and perfect for a lake house. Brandie was very responsive and accommodating to our questions and requests. We hope to be back soon!
Host worked with us to check in early so one of us could get logged in for work meeting. Place was clean and as described. The common area was spacious. All the beds and furniture were very comfortable. Kitchen was stocked to the hilt with everything a family would need and some. And, the dogs loved it. Allowing responible owners to bring dogs is excellent.
Awesome dock and access to the water. We really liked the layout with the cabins on the property to allow for privacy. This was our second stay at this property. I highly recommend it.

Perfect setting for a retreat with friends!
What a wonderful setting to escape to! Light and airy...stunning views off the wrap around back porch! Spent most of the morning and late evening watching light dance across the water. Charmingly appointed and very clean...going back annually!!!
This property was perfect for a quick weekend getaway. The yard and outdoor space was amazing - having a fence-in HUGE yard for the dog to play was perfect. Brandie was awesome and easy to communicate with. We caught big bass, catfish and bluegill. The King bed was extremely comfortable. The couch was one of the most comfortable too! Highly recommend this property - will be back.
We very much enjoyed our time here. The surrounding houses are gorgeous- but this house was more our 'style'.
Great decor, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were comfortable- the casitas worked great for us.
We brought our boat (boat ramp right down the street) and tied up at the dock/ platform area. We enjoyed cruising the lake. I don't think we would've swam right off the dock (lots of lilypads)- but my husband did jump in to cool off. We caught a bunch of fish right off the dock. Overall great time and great memories were made. We all agreed we would stay here again!

Clean and cozy
My family and I had a wonderful time, we felt right at home in the beautiful, spacious house. It was very clean, nicely decorated and had the best well equipped kitchen I have seen in a rental. I was very impressed that there was a welcome basket of local things like wine, popcorn, soap and chocolate covered nuts. The wrap around porch was awesome where we enjoyed a few dinners and morning coffee, the yard was big enough for my boys to throw a football and the fire pit was a huge hit where we sat around in the evening and made s'mores and talked story.
I would defiantly rent this house again and also recommend it to family and friends.

Wonderful place for a weekend or more of total relaxation
The house was a pleasant surprise, very clean and well equipped. The yard was great for our two dogs, the only negative thing was that the water was intentionally dropped by approx 4 ft to allow homeowners to repair their docks and boat houses. This created an avenue for our Labrador to escape, but no real problems. The house was open and airy and very comfortable. The neighborhood was very quiet and teeming with deer and friendly walkers. The overall experience was great, I will look to use it again in the future for sure.
We came out for a weekend trip to Hidden Falls Adventure Park to do some 4wd trail riding. Before we even booked the home, I reached out to Brandy to ask about proximity to the park (it's difficult to determine only based on the approximate location). She was fast and polite in responding and we ended up booking. The property is gorgeous, and right on the water. We brought kayaks and went out in the evenings to watch the sunset on the water. The home itself has two bedrooms, with two more bedrooms in different structures, which might be nice for groups that have folks with a need for privacy or go to bed early. The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful and overflowing with deer, and we even spotted a little fox at night. A+ host and home, would highly recommend and will probably visit again.
Best waterfront house we have ever rented! Brandie was hands down the best host we have ever encountered. She communicated with us and answered all our questions quickly. She even offered for us to reschedule, due to the rain and floods in the area, however we decided to go and it was the best trip we have ever had. We loved that it was pet friendly. The house was just as seen on pictures on the VRBO site. Overall ten out of ten. We will definitely be back with our family
Beautiful property - we didn't want to leave (....but we did)
We had a great stay at this gated lakehouse. A gorgeous yard perfect for dogs, kids, and yard games. Took a snooze and read in the hammock we brought. Enjoyed the peaceful water back in this channel - saw and heard lots of birds (and the dogs appreciated the squirrel activity). We brought our boat with us, and it was very easy to put in/take out at the neighborhood boat ramp. We cannot wait to come back! Thanks for a great trip.
We truly enjoyed our stay at Brandie's lake house! The grounds are beautiful and our pups enjoyed the freedom to run around without us worrying about them getting out. The neighborhood is quaint with lots of deer and friendly folks. Since it's in HSB, it's near to many amenities like boat rentals, kayak rentals, restaurants and the club itself. Will definitely return!
This is my first time ever doing something like vrbo and Brandie made it all awesome experience. She communicated very well and made everything seamless and clear. The place was beautiful and very clean. The outside setting was great! We had no issues and look forward to coming back again. The people in the area were friendly and the area extremely scenic. Thank you for a great time and opening your home to us!
What a wonderful location for a holiday gathering with family. The huge wraparound deck with multiple tables & chairs & comfortable /plentiful indoor seating was great! Large lawn perfect for yard games & our dog, plus plus direct lake access fun as we brought a kayak and paddle board. Host was so helpful & friendly with excellent communication. Will definitely return & recommend.
