About this property
Medina Lake Villa - Large Family Rural Retreat, Pool & Multiple Decks with Views
Welcome to Medina Lake Villa. A fantastic rural family home ideally situated in a quiet cove of Medina Lake. Just 45 minutes from San Antonio this is the ideal place for adventure, relaxation or a corporate retreat. With more sunny days than parts of Florida it is also the best choice for year-round getaways. Indulge yourself in this modern, luxurious and spacious resort style home.
Important Notice: Medina Lake Level is very low, but our amazing private swimming pool and views are still awesome!
Open plan kitchen with stainless appliances & seated breakfast bar. Two bedrooms upstairs with full & half bath, three bedrooms downstairs with full bath. Large dining area with serving bar. Four patio doors give access to multi levels of decks all with dreamy lake views, designed for great entertaining. Walk down to the lakeside covered pavilion complete with bar or after a day on the lake relax in the beautiful zero edge pool surrounded by lovely landscaping.
Concrete gated covered parking for 2 vehicles, plus off-road parking for 3 more cars. Lower hammock deck leads to the only cove with a boardwalk. Concrete path to the covered boat-dock.
The open plan living area comprises of a fully equipped modern kitchen with stainless appliances including dishwasher, oven, induction cook top, microwave, coffee machine and a generous supply of cooking equipment, crockery, cutlery, and glassware. Dine at the large breakfast bar, or on one of the decks and enjoy the truly spectacular lake views. The great room living area is very spacious with high cathedral ceilings, wooden floors, reverse cycle air conditioning, surround sound music, large screen TV useful for corporate power presentations as well as footy, movies and computer games. There is also a DVD player and connections for game consoles. Enjoy some creative time in the nook often used for arts & crafts, a buffet area or as an office space if some work needs to be done. All these spaces open-up to the large deck via multiple French doors and oversized glass windows to spectacular lake views. On the main upper deck is a large hardwood outdoor dining table, BBQ, sofa, lounge chairs and outdoor heater so you can sit outside even during those slightly cooler seasons.
On the roof top enjoy some quiet time on the Eagles Nest deck, great for watching 4th July fireworks over the lake. The perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee, sunset drinks or simply a mindful escape.
The master bedroom upstairs has its own en-suite with separate shower, toilet and a full bath. A concertina partial-wall allows the master bedroom to open-up to the living space for lake views or close them for privacy. There are four more bedrooms: two bunk rooms downstairs each room having bunk beds (4 beds per bunk room). The other two bedrooms are set-up with a queen bed, one upstairs and one downstairs. All bedrooms downstairs have French doors that open-up to outside areas. The two bunk rooms open-up to another large deck with gorgeous lake views. Linen is provided.

Further down the outdoor stairs towards the lake you will find several other excellent entertainment areas to sit and enjoy a meal or just relax together while the kids play in the lake, pool or on the lawn. There is also an outdoor shaded bar overlooking Medina Lake which is complete with refrigerator, TV, stereo & bar stools.
The private outdoor pool is a highlight of property, with zero edge lake views, underwater seats, massive cantilever umbrella for ample shade and underwater mood lighting. Next to the pool is a large stone deck area for pool side seating. It’s the ideal area for relaxing around a fire pit during the evenings too!
The private undercover boat dock is perfectly nestled into the quiet cove for easy access (lake-level permitting). Put your boat and jet-skis in the water using the public boat-ramp at the start of your stay, store them in the boat dock on property throughout your stay, then pull them out of the water again at the end of your stay. Or if you don’t have a boat, use the dock as a lovely place to sit atop the water in the shade to watch the world go by.
With the luxury of the lake at your doorstep you can fish, swim, water-ski , canoe, kayak, enjoy boating, stand-up paddle boarding, or simply sit relax and enjoy the serenity & views . Tip: the sunset views over the lake are truly incredible to watch!
Far from your usual holiday home, this property is better described as a resort. You are sure to enjoy the easy, relaxed and tranquil atmosphere that such a well-appointed property creates. This is a one-of-a-kind property!

Low Lake Level Notice: Medina Lake is not a constant level lake. The lake level is currently very low and unfortunately our cove is now dry. Given the amazing pool & other amenities on the property we feel you will most likely not want to leave the premises. However if you do want a small adventure there are now walking tracks on the lake bed that are fun to explore – if you look closely you’ll find old fossils & artifacts. The views from the property are still lovely even when the lake is low.

Our Stay with 12 people
The house is nice and big. Our party of 12 had lots of room and the decks and view are nice. They don’t have a hot tub, ice machine or fire pit. The pool is nice but would have been nice if it had been cleaned up before we arrived. BBQ pit took some work but we got it going. The Eagles nest is a cool spot for food and drinks and near buy. The dollar store was nice as well.
We had a wonderful time during our stay. We ran into a couple of issues but the property manager and hosts were very responsive and helpful getting the issues resolved. We would book with them again.
Great three nights here! Place was clean and house has a cool social layout. Spent lots of time on the lovely upper deck. Three of the five bedrooms are downstairs, but only one AC downstairs (four upstairs) so that got a little warm but not horrible. Zero water in the lake but landlord was open about that and it did not ruin our fun. Pool and outdoor living was great.

Beautiful house with some minor issues
The house was beautiful and when the lake has higher water levels, I’m sure it’s even better. The pool and ping pong table were great entertainment. Unfortunately, there were a lot of cockroaches, so hopefully the owners can have regular pest control service. Cleanliness could have been better, but overall, it was a pleasant stay.
For a week stay it was not well stocked for a group of 14 people. No toilet paper or paper towels extra. 1 roll each on dispenser. Dishwasher for 2 loads. Only one towel for each person and no pool towels. Outdoor debrees had to be cleaned before using pool. We loved the house and amenities. It was not ready for a
Group of 14.
We had such a great time and made new fun and lasting memories. The pool at sunset is the bomb. Close enough to the city, or attractions and yet far enough to feel the lake house vibe. The host and management made sure we were taking care of. The neighbors were awesome. If we would have had the time, we would have added more days to our stay.
Good times at the pool, the bar, and around the ping pong and foosball table. From young to old it had everything for everyone.
Cheers!
Great property! 2 bunk rooms + 3 queen rooms made perfect sleeping arrangements for our family friends Spring Break trip. We loved the table tennis and foosball. The Roo Bar is a fun addition. There are several TVs throughout property even outdoors. The pool was a little cool in early spring, but we had floats & kiddos didn’t mind it!! Property Management was very nice + helpful. I would recommend for older children + adult guests because the spiral stairs and a few drop offs made me a little anxious with our 3yo. Overall, it was a wonderful stay!
The stay was good. The kids had a blast at the pool while the adults hung out at the bar space.
It was a spacious house and overall good stay. Wifi was great even being out so far. It is about 30-40 minutes away from grocery stores of restraunts. There were a few things I wish were different, but overall food stay and would stay there again.
