About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Welcome to Birdsong Cabin! We offer a fully furnished, fully stocked, clean and comfortable home on Lake LBJ - which happens to be the largest constant level lake in the United States! We are pet friendly. Pets require prior approval please. Birdsong Cabin is a single story home, the only steps are down to the water and a step or few at the front and back doors. Inside there are no steps! So no worries about carrying groceries, kiddos and pets up and down stairs.
Our home sleeps 6 comfortably, which is the maximum number of people allowed on our property at all times. Birdsong Cabin is a 3 bedroom home with 2 full baths. Two bedrooms each have a king size bed, while the third bedroom has two full/double size beds. Both baths have walk-in showers with white subway tile. One bathroom is conveniently located near the front entrance to the home and the second bath is located by the back patio for easy access from outdoors.
From the open concept kitchen and covered back patio, you look out onto the water cove which circles an island dotted with trees. All types of wildlife can be seen in the cove. Nutria, beavers, fish, turtles, cranes, hawks, geese and owls! Our cove is calm and peaceful river cove, perfect for kayaking, fishing and floating! Bring your water toys. The water is about 4'-6' deep, so NO DIVING in the water. Birdsong Cabin has 60' of private waterfront for you and your group to enjoy. The cove is boatable all the way around the island and out to the open water of the Colorado River. The pictures in the listing are accurate and show what the water level is like at all times on Lake LBJ.
Please keep in mind this property is waterfront to a Texas river and not fenced at the water, so watch your children and pets, and provide your own life jackets/safety devices. The backyard is fenced on three sides and there is no fencing at the water. It's a 3 minute boat ride from Birdsong Cabin to open water, on the main Colorado River, where it is action packed. You can tie up your boat/Sea Doo/water toys at Birdsong Cabin's waterfront and relax without the big waves of open water (bring rubber bumpers/ropes). And don't forget your kayaks, paddle boards, other water toys & fishing gear. We recommend you stay in the cove's calm water, away from the main part of the Colorado River with personal water toys. Please keep in mind our cove is a natural aquarium. There is underwater vegetation and wildlife, as this is part of the Colorado River ecosystem and changes with seasons and weather.
The open kitchen at Birdsong Cabin has black granite counters with a huge center island for entertaining. There are open upper shelves and a fully stocked with kitchen dishes, barware and glasses. We provide most small and large appliances you have at home. Outside the back patio has a charcoal grill and outdoor wrought iron furniture. Don't forget your laundry detergent, charcoal, lighter fluid, coffee, shampoo and conditioner.
There are covered overhangs on both the side and rear patios. We have horseshoes and washer boards for enjoyment! Come stay with us and get ready to relax and take in Lake LBJ living!

Our family absolutely enjoyed our stay and did not want to leave!!! We were staying for a Regional THSBA fishing tournament and this house was perfect!!! Great bass just outside the back door.
This property is awesome. It’s the perfect place to go relax and get away from the hustle and bustle. The neighborhood is quiet and the and friendly. Would love to stay there again.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Communication was outstanding. The property was nicely appointed, very clean, and very welcoming. The location was relatively peaceful, convenient to local stores, and 5 mins from the golf course.
My wife, Mom, and kids loved the stay.
We would definitely stay here again.
Great location and the house was perfect for our needs. The one drawback was the outside furniture , it could use some updating. Overall though, it was a very peaceful and relaxing weekend.
The place was just perfect - very nice and clean inside and two really great outdoor areas. Off season, so nice and quiet outside, great views, very relaxing! Kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans and utensils. Again, the place was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely go again and highly recommend!
Our Thanksgiving stay was perfect. It was peaceful and quiet . We fished, watched movies and enjoyed every minute. The property was beautiful and the house was amazing. We loved every minute. Thank you for everything.
My husband and I stayed at Birdsong cabin for 3 nights. It was clean, comfortable, and quiet. We enjoyed watching some drama unfold between the geese on the island across the water as well as seeing cardinals and woodpeckers. Weather did not allow us to use the waterfront as much as we would have liked, but we are hoping to return and try again.
The house is called birdsong Cabin. Love the name, but it certainly is not a cabin. It is a lovely home and fully equipped with anything you need. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, the neighborhood is quiet, and many recreational areas are close by. The owners were available and very helpful. Highly recommend this place for a family getaway or a gathering of friends.
The house was very clean and gorgeous and super comfortable. We all had such a wonderful time fishing, relaxing and playing games. Will 100% come back.
Amazing waterfront home. Very clean, large kitchen with all necessities. As soon as we walked in, we felt like we were home. The property is beautiful. Jake the dog loved running around, watching the wild life on the island. This is a favorite for sure. Can’t wait to visit again.
Property was well maintained had several outdoor games to entertain a group. Indoors the kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. There were also plenty of board games available if thats your thing. This area of the lake is quiet, we spent some time on floaties but we did see paddleboards, kayaks, and other watercrafts pass by. It was a very relaxing stay
The property itself is beautiful home is beautiful full of all kinds of toys games for family entertainment. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensil glass. Cooking supply, needed. A perfect home away from home. We hope Amy would welcome us back for another stay.
Birthday fishing trip for our 14 year old daughter didn’t disappoint. The property was beautiful with lots of outdoor activities. The cove was a honey hole. Easily caught tons of fish using worms and lures. A cute island full of geese right across the cove. A great kayak spot. Fully stocked kitchen and the most comfortablebeds! Very cute decor. Overall A! Host was responsive and helpful.
Birdsong Cabin is such an awesome property! We stayed for 3 nights in August and despite the temps being well into the 100s, we were able to fish pretty much all day because there is so much shade! We caught a ton of Sunfish and even some Rio Grande Cichlids! It was nice just floating around the island so be sure to bring floats or kayaks. The house is incredibly clean and the beds were super comfortable. Amy was wonderful to work with. We will definitely be back!
There were six of us senior lady friends and the accommodations were very comfortable. Two ladies fished most of the time and caught perch and 3 nice catfish(catch and release). Sitting on the porch in morning was sooo peaceful, the games could be updated pieces missing but we still played and laughed a lot! The two bathrooms are not in the bedrooms as the sight indicated. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is fully furnished. Lovely place to stay. Thank you Amy for sharing your home!
Our family of four stayed over the Fourth of July. The lake house is darling and spotlessly clean. The view out to the cove from the back of the house and the backyard is lovely. A very serene location. We brought our boat and enjoyed the location on the cove with easy access to the river. We floated in the cove near the house too. We ran out of time but wanted to paddle-board too. Amy was very helpful and great with communication. We enjoyed the Thirsty Armadillo (drive thru) for creative drinks and ventured to the Bluebonnet Cafe for dinner and their scrumptious pies. We highly recommend a stay on the lake here and would definitely stay again.
MY DAUGHTER, HER DOG AND I ENJOYED THIS PROPERTY. VERY WELL STOCKED KITCHEN AND PLEASANT OUTDOOR SPACES. THE DOG LOVED THE BIG, FENCED YARD AND HAD A BALL EXPLORING, CHASING SQUIRRELS, AND RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE HILL. MY DAUGHTER CAUGHT A FEW NICE CATFISH WHICH WE RELEASED. QUIET EXCEPT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD MOWING, ETC. OVERALL, WE ENJOYED OUR STAY VERY MUCH. THE OWNER WAS SUPER ATTENTIVE AND HELPFUL. ONLY NEGATIVE WAS THERE ARE NO BATHROOMS CONNECTED TO ANY OF THE BEDROOMS.
