Seahorse Cove

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Drop a fishing line in Lake Buchanan off the shore or sunbathe on the beach to bask in the slow pace of life here at Seahorse Cove. This spacious property sits right on one of Texas's best bass fishing lakes, also stocked with catfish and gar. Tie off your boat on-site in the cove or slide a rented kayak into the water from the sandy stretch of beach. If you're up for some cliff jumping, you can explore Inks Lake State Park about nine miles to the south. There are several nearby wineries and the Vanishing Texas River Cruise is definitely worth checking out. A convenience store and Buchanan General Store are nearby and Burnet is only 15 minutes away if you want to visit Fort Croghan Historic Museum, the Hill Country Motorheads Museum, or buy groceries.

Originally a Texas Ranger's bunkhouse, this beautiful 1930s home retains all its original vintage charm from a location atop a cove shaped like a horse’s head. Take in the calming lake views and gorgeous sunsets as you let your worries slip away. The full kitchen, along with the stone fireplace and large windows, gives you plenty of space to spread out, while the cozy cabin makes a perfect spot for kicking back after a long day in the sunshine. Connect to the free WiFi to post photos of your big catch, treat your friends to a BBQ using the gas grill, or step back outside to build a fire in the firepit. Depending on what time of the year you're here, you'll behold beautiful wildflowers, various trees, and other flora, along with deer, foxes, owls, American pelicans, and more.

End your days gazing at the spectacular night skies and relaxing in your own secluded oasis.

Restored bunkhouse
Very nice. Clean. Easy to find. Beautiful addition and character. Wi-Fi was a bit troublesome but worked. We loved the old original floors and the squeak in the master bedroom. Kitchen was very nice and decorated well. First hot shower had sulfur smell which is not uncommon with electric water heaters and well water that sit sometimes. Subsequent showers it was much better. Would stay there again regardless. Bluebonnets were coming up. Views over the water were amazing. Close to town if needed.

This is a nice quiet, comfortable place to stay for two or a a small family. The living room has a nice view but the lake is severely low. Need rain!

Wonderful getaway
This property is absolutely beautiful. It’s a great peaceful escape from the city while also being close enough to a lot of great things to do in Hill Country. I stayed here by myself as a way to get away. However, I underestimated the “nature” aspect. There were animal footprints throughout the property and late night sounds that had me a little spooked. Also, it was challenging to keep the bugs out. However, I did enjoy my time overall and am grateful for the way they have kept up the property. There was NO issue with the water, as other reviews have mentioned. I would suggest a new set up for the TV cable box as it started to overheat with a warning on the tv that it would shut down after about an hour. I propped it up to get some air underneath which helped. I would recommend a stay here to anyone looking for a nice quaint retreat in the woods with lots of open space to enjoy nature.

Misleading
Lake Buchanan is very low and this was not mentioned in the description. The walk to the receded water was not convenient and couldn’t be enjoyed as listing described or the photos show. Also, the restrictions on numbers of people on the property are too strict. I rented this property for my parents to stay in as we were up the road at Inks Lake State Park. After questioning the property manager twice, I finally got a response that we could not all visit my parents at this rental because we would exceed the 4 person accommodation restriction. I would have booked another place if I had known this. This property is way over priced considering the lake is down and if you stay here, you can’t have visitors.

Love this place!
This was our second stay at Seahorse Cove and it won't be our last. We didn't think we'd like the now-enclosed back porch but it was great, especially when we got to watch one of those thrilled Texas thunderstorms roll in across the lake. Everything was clean and comfortable. The kitchen is reasonably well furnished though the knife (yep, only one) needs to be sharpened. The water was much lower than our last visit but we still enjoyed swimming daily. It's a great space for a couple or a small group of friends that doesn't mind sharing a bathroom. The only downside was when the storm knocked out the living room TV and it took way too many calls and texts and back and forth with customer service reps in another country who were useless. Once the local folks got back to us, everything was handled quickly. Those same customer service reps gave contradictory, and wrong, answers to questions before our stay. The property is great. Vacasa, not so much. That's an opinion formed from multiple stays at different places managed by them. Things to know: Check the level for Lake Buchanan before you book if the water level is a factor for you. Water Data For Texas dot org has LCRA information that's easy to read. Take bottled water to drink if you're picky. I thought the tap water was fine but the two others in my group preferred bottled. Customer service may say there are no beach chairs but there are at least 6 plastic Adirondack chairs that can be easily carried to the beach. CS may also tell you the TV only has cable. It actually has Dish (useless) and the new one in the living room has most streaming apps but the internet speed makes streaming a hit or miss proposition. Netflix was great, YouTubeTV wasn't. To Vacasa - improve your customer service. It was truly awful and I'm glad I didn't need anything more important than TV. To the owner - let Joey install a French drain outside by the fireplace so water doesn't seep in during a big rain. And consider some weather stripping around the door on the lake side for the same reason. Otherwise, don't change a thing because it's just a lovely place and Joey is fantastic!

We enjoyed the place. Views were great!!! Outdoor area was wonderful. We saw white pelicans, all kinds of ducks, robins, cormorants, and a lot of deer. We needed better directions to find the gate in the almost dark.

Lake level, water supply, wifi, fireplace & relaxing
The property had pros and cons but overall we enjoyed our stay: - Isolated away from neighbors is how we like it to be - Great place to have complete silence from traffic or unwanted noises - Fireplace was awesome. Inside did a great job of keeping us warm. Outdoor fire ring allowed us to chill during cool nights - Place was generally clean and tidy. Feels cozy. Outdoors felt spacious and quiet. Saw several deers almost each day roaming around. - Interior had some minor cobwebs not of concern - The lake water level depicted in the listing was not correct. We had even ask before booking this place if the water level was the same as depicted by the picture and the answer was yes. The water level is about 10ft lower. Came to find out it was low for about the last 6 months. - No where in the listing stated water has smell and taste of sulfur. We only knew the fact after booking the place. Luckily the smell and taste was tolerable by us. - We generally don't intend using wifi for most of out travels, however, when times we had to use the wifi, speed and connection range was not good.
