Granite Crossing Lake House No. 1 on the Colorado Arm of Lake LBJ in Texas

Everything you ever wanted in a
lake house vacation...and even more!

Yes, Granite Crossing Lake House No. 1 on Lake LBJ has it all....and even more!  It has a great waterfront location with 115 feet of waterfront on one of the prettiest areas of Lake LBJ.  You can enjoy the 115 ft. concrete patio at the waterfront, the extra large deck over looking the water, a second deck with a great lake view, and more.

What is the "even more?"  This location is about one mile below the dam for Inks Lake.  When the dam is generating and releasing water, the water flows past this location and temporarily raises the water level 6 to 18 inches, giving it the features of a flowing river for a short time.  It is ideal for floating down past the granite boulders in the water and for tubing and boarding.  Guests really love this special feature!
