Rustic Lakehouse | 2 Story Outdoor Bar + Fire Pit + Smoker | Fall Vibes
Located in Texas Hill Country - Buchanan Dam, Texas

Welcome to Pop’s Dam Lakehouse & Lookout, a rustic, two-bedroom, pet-friendly lakehouse located on Lake Buchanan, 1.5 hours northwest of Austin Bergstrom Airport (driving times can vary depending on traffic/routes taken). Relax and unwind in this small community on the lake in the Texas Hill Country and enjoy exploring the lake, having refreshments on your two-story outdoor bar, kicking back on your hammock, eating s’mores by the fire pit, playing yard games, and grilling on the gas grill/smoker combo. Due to fluctuating water levels, sometimes this cozy cabin offers lakefront access but not always. Currently, lake levels are low and guests can expect a 15 minute walk to access the lake.

Stocked with thoughtful extras and premium upgrades to give you a 5-star stay, this lakehouse is perfect for romantic getaways, family vacations, and solo adventurers. You can rest assured we’ve put in place extensive cleaning and disinfecting procedures including sanitizing all commonly touched surfaces before and after every stay. Look no more. You’ve found the perfect rental! Come stay with us and experience firsthand why our guests rave about our properties and love our customer service.
