River Oaks Lake House is all about space, fun, and relaxed lake life. Not a stiff “look but don’t touch” vacation home...this is the kind of place where families spread out, kids run barefoot through the yard, everyone grabs a different game or TV, and the day somehow ends with a sunset over the water.
Set on a large grassy waterfront lot at the meeting point of Lake LBJ and the Llano River, the home gives you the best of both worlds...calm lake water in one direction and river adventures in the other. Whether your group wants swimming, kayaking, floating, fishing, yard games, movie nights, or simply sitting outside with coffee watching the water, there’s room and options for everyone.
One of the biggest things guests love is how easy and enjoyable the water is here. The area in front of the home is usually shallow with a soft sandy bottom...great for kids, wading, floating, swimming, and relaxing without heavy boat traffic. The sandy channel can reach around 5 feet deep in spots and leads across to a large sandy beach area that’s perfect for exploring, picnics, or letting kids burn energy.
Feeling adventurous? About 1½–2 miles upriver is a local hidden gem known as “The Slab”...a granite rock area with natural rapids, swimming holes, and smooth rock formations that make for an unforgettable day. The ultra adventurous can even float back down the calm river to the house when conditions allow.
Prefer deeper water? Head the opposite direction where the lake gradually deepens for fishing, swimming, and paddling. We provide 3 kayaks and a canoe at no extra charge, making it easy to explore both the river and lake side.
Back at the house, there’s plenty of room to spread out and unwind. Multiple TVs, recreational games, indoor and outdoor hangout spaces, and the huge lawn mean everyone can find their own version of fun without feeling crowded.
And while the property feels peaceful and tucked away, you’re still conveniently close to everything you need...restaurants, local shops, and H-E-B are about 4 miles away. Lighthouse Country Club is roughly 2 miles away, with Legends Golf Course just a bit farther.
Sleeping & Layout • Bunk room serves as the 4th bedroom and sleeps up to 6 with its own full bathroom • Half bath near kitchen/common area • Full hall bathroom between guest bedrooms • Full primary bathroom attached to primary suite
Conveniently located in Central Texas approximately: • 60 minutes from Austin • 90 minutes from San Antonio
**BOATS Please note that our property sits in the sandy Llano River arm of Lake LBJ where the water is naturally shallow near the home. Many boats will not reach the dock area. Pontoon boats, flat-bottom fishing boats, and jet skis have accessed the property successfully depending on conditions, but water depth and channels can shift naturally over time. Feel free to reach out with questions before bringing or renting a boat. **What this does provide is private, boat traffic free water frontage!

I have a group of old high school friends now in our 50's who have stayed at this property several years. The house is in great shape. The rooms are always very clean. The kitchen has plenty of items to cook large meals. The view of the river is excellent. We plan to stay here again next year.
We really enjoyed this property! The owners were great with communication and everything was as pictured. We even met some of the neighbors and they were wonderful people as well. Overall great experience!
The house was fantastic for our group! Great flexibility of sleeping options! The Game Room and the Kayaks and the canoe were a huge hit for all ages. The only downside to this property was NO ONE wanted to leave!
This house was excellent for our golf group…..check in was easy, the owners communicated well and the house was spotless. The backyard was gorgeous and we spent a lot of time on their back patio enjoying the river view.
Beginning with Proctors NOT changing their regular rate, in order to cash in on eclipse folks, it was a great stay with awesome owners communicating well every step of the way. We highly recommend their home for your family stay.
It's all about the Beautiful Backyard with Lake View
Our family stayed here this past week, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is large enough and comfortable enough for a large family, well equipped, great indoor and outdoor space, quiet area. So peaceful to look at the river, sandbar and hills in the background.
Nice big backyard for playtime and other activities.
This house was perfect for adults and families of all ages. There is plenty of space for multiple families! Our kids enjoyed the kayaks and playing by the river all day. The house has everything you need for grilling and cooking out. We will definitely be staying at this property again.
This was a great property right on the Llano arm of lake LBJ. The kitchen was well supplied. Quiet neighborhood. The fishing off the dock was surprisingly good. Nothing big but fun for the grandkids. They also really enjoyed the recently added game room. Chad and Gaby were very attentive and responsive.
We had a wonderful time! The house is well laid out with plenty of room for everyone. We loved sitting on the back porch as much as possible. The view is beautiful and the yard and dock are great for playing, swimming and kayaking/canoeing. We found everything we needed in the kitchen. The new game room is huge and great for watching tv together. We played lots of ping pong too! Great week and the hosts were very responsive and accommodating!
We had an amazing stay at this property. It was very clean and was just as depicted in the pictures. The ages of our family ranged from 4 to 86, and there was something for everyone. The kids loved fishing from the bank and they caught a lot of fish. The kayaks and canoe were a big hit as well. My favorite parts were drinking coffee out on the spacious deck and watching the beautiful sunsets each evening. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be
back!
We have 8 men who are friends from high school in the late 80's. We make an annual trip to hang out and catch-up. This home was perfect for us for a second year in a row. We really renjoy sitting in the river out in front of the house. We take a popup shade tent and chairs and just sit and visit all day. We use the canoe and kayaks to take our stuff across to the more shallow part of the river. It's perfect. The house is fantastic and we fit easily. We also cook quite a lot. The home has all the cooking utensils we need including a large outdoor griddle on the patio. The owner has been super helpful and responsive each year. This year we had a nice surprise with the new garage addition which had a large sectional, very large tv and a ping pong table. We couldn't ask for a better place.
This property was great for our family of 5 adults and 4 boys ages 2-9. The game room was an absolute hit with everyone. (do need to replace the ping pong balls) The video game consoles were great for all!
Access to the river was easy, and there were many places for the littlest ones to play and swim safely once we got them across the river. It wasn't too deep for adults, but the littles needed help navigating. We took them across on tubes and in the canoe.
The older boys learned to kayak with the kayaks left for us on-site and they had the best time. We had taken inner tubes and used them some, but the kayaks were by far more fun.
The bedrooms and bathrooms were the perfect size for our needs and having the basement bunk space with its own bathroom and outdoor access was perfect. Kitchen was well-equipped and roomy, but we mostly cooked outside on the HUGE Blackstone grill. It was wonderful.
You will not be disappointed if you stay here, if you are looking for clean and roomy accommodations with river access and a beautiful and welcoming yard and patio spaces.
Chad and Gaby were very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. A great weekend for us and we hope to one day visit again.
This is a beautiful property - book it now! The house is just as described and has plenty of space and amenities whether you’re staying with just your family or a big group! The kitchen is well stocked and everything very clean. Chad and Gabby are excellent and responsive hosts. There are many hang out spaces inside, but the backyard and river is the show stopper. We’ve booked here twice and will definitely be back!
The place was perfect for us. Really a unique place with the walkout basement/bedroom downstairs. Everyone had plenty of room and the game room allowed for adults to relax with each other while occupying the kids. We all really liked the place and location and discussed making this place part of our routine family fun.
This was a very comfortable house with plenty of room for our family of 13! We unfortunately got there right after the Texas floods, so we were only able to enjoy the river one day. When the water receded we went down to the beach area and played in the river. The kids loved it!
The house was everything that it was advertised to be. The owners were very helpful answering all my questions before our arrival. Check in was easy. There was plenty of room for everyone. I would definitely recommend this property to everyone. The Blackstone was great for all our cooking. Chad and Gaby were awesome hosts.
Our family had a wonderful time. Well kept, clean house with dynamic sleeping arrangements for a big family. We enjoyed the kayak that was provided each day and made our way to the sand bar where my 3 year old safely played for hours while we sat in the water and enjoyed each others company. The owners Chad and Gaby were very responsive, friendly and easy to contact. Would definitely recommend and return!
The property was clean and organized and perfect for our trip. The lake and grassy area were wonderful, the house had everything we could have asked for. Fire pit was great and being close to the grocery store was great too. Definitely recommend this spot!
This was our second time here and had another wonderful time! The house and outside are perfect for a family get away! Very comfortable and plenty to do! Highly recommend, and will go back next summer!
