The Space:
At Lake LBJ’s waterfront, enjoy outdoor fun and relaxation with a large backyard, covered boat dock, jet ski ramps, lake swimming and fishing, a boat launch just a mile away, and lots of sunset moments! The Shorewood is like a big wet and wild playground for kids ages 5 to 95!
You’ll have lots of luminous living space over two stories, 3,600 sq ft, and 3 separate living rooms to spread out and get comfortable at The Shorewood home. This lakeside oasis is perfect for a getaway weekend with friends, enjoying quality time with family, or hosting a small work retreat.
When it’s time to dine, The Shorewood has everything you need to cook like a chef and eat like a king. The kitchen’s recently remodeled with modern appliances and a separate dining room that seats 8 comfortably. There’s also a breakfast bar with 4 barstools and 3 grills for cooking up the catch of the day.
Enjoy lake views while eating outside on the wrap-around balcony, lakeside dining table, or at one of the seven barstools at the cabana bar! Enjoy a sunset toast from your second-story balcony at the end of each fun-filled day, or relax with a cocktail and the view!
If you need to squeeze in some remote work, you’ll have a dedicated workspace (desk) in the queen bedroom, plus reliable Wi-Fi at the property. There’s a Smart TV with cable and Roku for relaxing downtime moments on the sofa. For indoor fun, you can play Monopoly in the game room, enjoy a Ping Pong battle, or maybe tell ghost stories at night in the Bunk Room.
When exhausted from a fun-filled day, have a restful night in any of The Shorewood’s spacious bedrooms. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs (one with a king bed and one with a queen), one king master bedroom downstairs with Bedroom 4, the bunk room, attached. The bunk room is spacious, with 4 full beds, a queen sleeper sofa, and a big TV. It’s a great room for the kids!
