We were not there long. Just from about 7pm till 6:30 am so do not even know what is going on outside. It met our needs and the group of us got to stay together rather than in a hotel. Inside was very clean.

We had a great stay. We had plenty of room. The host informed us in advance about work that would block the drive for a while. The advance notice allowed us to move a vehicle out prior to the work. We definitely will keep this property in mind for future trips.

Great overnight stay!

This home is perfect for a place to stay and enjoy the scenery. If we had stayed longer than an overnight, it would've suited us well. Our only mishap was not taking turns with showers - the water was hot then cold for both people trying to shower at the same time in seperate bathrooms.Instructions for everything were clear, the host is communicative, and I'll consider reserving this home again!

Good place, ample size

The location is perfectly quiet & secluded area of Smithville & Bastrop. There is a unit upstairs with an individual being present. This is not a stand alone home or unit. There was no conflict or complaint but this did not seem clear. Ample sitting area in living room & kitchen table. Bathrooms clean and modern. Master bed was more of one twin bed & full size beds pushed together and keep separating during the night.It was a bit muddy coming in as the entrance is all gravel & dirt. It had been raining 2-3 days before. It was only iffy as we were on motorcycles, but we managed.

Peaceful

We had a great stay here. Unfortunately i accidentally only got it for 1 day instead of 2, and with us fishing we didnt get to it until late and headed out super early. Cleaning charge is high considering the space and time we were there, but for multiple days we would definitely go back

Lovely get-away near state parks

My spouse, three kids, and two dogs very much enjoyed our stay here. The property is clean, quiet, and well-equipped. The lake behind the house is very serene and clean. My family enjoyed spotting deer while floating on the lake. Good proximity to Bastrop and two state parks full of hiking. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a lovely time.

Great getaway location!

We recently stayed at The Lost Pines Lake House through VRBO and had a fantastic experience. The location was absolutely perfect, offering easy access to the nearby lake. One of the highlights of our stay was the incredible level of privacy the property provided. It felt like our own secluded oasis, allowing us to truly relax and unwind. Inside, the property was spacious and well-appointed. There was plenty of room for our group to spread out comfortably, and the amenities provided everything we needed for a memorable stay. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend The Lost Pines Lake House to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with all the comforts of home.

Short trip to Smithville

We drove in from Michigan for a short visit to Smithville/Bastrop and found this house to be quite lovely. The property manager was great to work with and easy to communicate with. The house was very comfortable and clean. Instructions left for house use were easy to follow. We will definitely consider this as a stay spot if/when we visit the area again.
