Shady Grove

absolutely enjoyed it

Unbelievable 5 star experience all the way around

Perfect atmosphere for friends and family. Enjoyed early mornings on the back patio with coffee watching the sun rise and the lake come to life. Loved sitting down by the fire pit watching the sun set. Took lots of beautiful pictures! If you have kids, this is the place to go. It is just inside a nice, quiet cove. The kids can swim right off of the dock and kayak back into the cove. There is a volleyball net in the yard and a large concrete pad up by the house. The younger kids enjoyed the sidewalk chalk and rolling down the hill while the older ones played volleyball! There is also great fishing right off the dock. Overall, a great place for young and old just waiting on you to make memories!

We have been using Front Desk for years and a different home each time. We loved this house. By far the best outdoor and dock area yet. Tons of lifevests, ice and cute bar area. Great kitchen and they thought of everything. We cook all our meals and did not need a thing! Beautiful dining table that fit everyone and great for game nights. Very clean! We also really enjoyed using the kayaks and the canal with the kids. Very safe inlet off the main river for swimming and our large float mat. Perfect firepit for our smores night. Quiet neighborhood. Five stars!!!

This is our 2nd summer to stay at Shady Grove! Property is absolutely perfect for our 5 families (8 adults and 9 kids). The protected cove allows for endless fun with the kayaks and jumping off the dock. This year we had 2 boats and 2 jet skis in our party and there was plenty of space bw both docks to secure all of the toys. The large backyard gave the kids ample room to run, play and make lasting memories. The house was spacious enough for all to enjoy. The patio is a perfect spot to hang out and cook dinner after a day on the water. We can’t wait to book our 3rd trip for 2022! We love Shady Grove!

We recently stayed here with another family and it was wonderful. The outdoor living space is unbelievable, the bathrooms are all newly renovated, and the kitchen is stocked with everything you could need. We rented a boat and jet ski and were able to take advantage of the multiple boat docks the house has. We would definitely stay here again!

The Shady Grove home did not disappoint. This home has everything, inside & out. A rare find on a great piece of lakefront property. We will definitely be back!

Our favorite place to stay and play. Kayaking in the cove if our favorite activity here. There is so much room both inside and outside. From lounging on the beautiful deck and cooking on the outdoor kitchen to swinging in the hammock, playing volleyball and fishing, this home has a little something for everyone. Can't wait to go back!

I can't explain in words how Awesome, this place is. The home is beautiful. I love the fact that the kitchen was fully equipped from the dishes, pots and pans, and seasoning. The deck was surrounded by trees, and it looks as though they built the deck around the trees. The lake is beautiful. We walked to the lake to watch the sun rise. It was so relaxing that my guest didn't want to leave There is lots of space. The bunk room was great because six single men came out to the retreat, and they loved it. Also there is a Tv on the deck, a kitchen and bar. Very impressed by this home. We will definitely be back

Jon and Casey are the absolute best...attentive, responsive, helpful, and caring. Their service is impeccable. I would love to rent any property from them. They go above and beyond!This was our second stay in Shady Grove, and it was just as wonderful as before. This house has EVERYTHING a family could want. There is more than enough comfortable bedding, and the kitchen is better outfitted than any rental property I've ever stayed in. But the backyard (with all its toys and games) makes this the perfect place for a family vacation. You never have to leave the property. From frisbee golf to family football to fishing to kayaking to ping pong to badminton to grilling and watching football games on the porch - Shady Grove is a paradise for a large family!

Great yard and outdoor setting for active family activities in the water, on the grounds, on the wonderful patio and inside the home.

This is an amazing property with all the amenities you could wish for. The property is great for outdoor living and activities. We had a truly awesome time. I would highly recommend this home for any large group.

We took our adult kids and had a great time. The house and property are BEAUTIFUL!The neighborhood driving up is a little surprising. It is surrounded by trailer parks and you think you have gone in the wrong direction but, enter the gates and it is all the pictures show and more.The protected cove is perfect! We were there over the 4th of July and the lake was crazy. But in the cove it was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed everything about this property. The house was clean and comfortable as were the outdoor areas. Just can't say how great this property is!We loved it and hope to return again.

Shady Grove was as advertised and more! Prefect location for swimming and boating and perfect sleeping for every one. The grand children loved the bunk beds with TVs and everyone loved using the kayaks and peddle boat. Nicely stocked kitchen and the covered deck was a huge bonus. We will be back!

We absolutely loved this house and it’s location on the lake. The a commendations were wonderful. Everything you needed or wanted for your stay on the lake was there for your enjoyment and comfort. Can’t wait to return.

Had such a great time at this property! Beautiful! Exactly what we needed! Look forward to staying here again in the future!

This house had everything you could possibly want in a vacation home! Thanks for sharing it with the Smith and Marshall families!!!!!

We loved the gated, lake front property. Unfortunately, the gate was not working the week we were there. Still, we found the house very comfortable and the outdoor area amazing!! Mosquitoes were thick, so it would be nice to have some sort of mosquito system.We had 15 and it handled us terrificly. We especially loved kayaking and swimming and jumping off the dock. Very well equipped for a large group. Thanks for sharing your lovely home!

Manager's Response

I highly recommend this property we fully got a wonderful memorable experience!

Terrific location to escape the day to day crazies! Enjoyed our kids and grandkids for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. This is a terrific place to relax and enjoy family.

Shady Grove was exactly what my group and I needed for our stay: awesome views, great patio for entertaining and watching college football, and plenty of room for outdoor activities like volleyball.We had 15 guys stay here and had more than enough room. In fact, I think everyone had their own bed/couch! Not only that, but Jon, the one managing the property, was extremely responsive and helpful for any question I had before and during the stay. Accessing the property and check in/checkout was painless.I would highly recommend Shady Grove or any property that is managed by Front Desk Vacation Rentals based on this experience. Anyone that wants to get away and enjoy the river will have a great time.

Just what we needed after Hurricane Harvey. The home was clean and the yard was spectacular! The kids had a ball!

There are many beautiful homes on Lake LBJ but none that offer the total package Shady Grove does. A wonderful, tree shaded yard, completely fenced, leads down to a fab waterfront area with protected swimming for kids and adults, a great covered boat dock/sitting area, and immediate access to the whole lake. There's a boat lift and two jet ski ramps plus a second boat dock in the event your boat won't fit the lift. There's a huge patio/outdoor cooking party area at the house, volley ball, table tennis, and anything else you can think of and they even provide toys: kayaks, noodles, etc. The house is comfortable, well stocked with cooking pots, pans, coffee pots, double oven, etcetcetc. Our grandkids fight over the bunks in the bunkroom and there are comfortable beds in each bedroom. The kitchen, dining area, living room, and two of the bedrooms overlook the lake and two washer/dryer combinations mean you don't have to drag dirty laundry home. Also, and very important, there's ample parking for your car and boat trailer plus a convenient boat launch just across the little bay the house sits on. The Kingsland HEB is minutes away and so is Marble Falls. All in all, there's no place we'd rather stay. As we were leaving, the kids were already asking if we could come back next year.

This was our 4th year to stay at Shady Grove and it was fabulous once again! You cannot beat the setup and location! This place will accommodate a large group and there is all sorts of room to roam!

This place was great. We had a group of 11 guys staying. There was plenty of room for all of us. We spent most of our time out on the fantastic patio and the waterfront dock.

Top dollar but well worth it...Exquisite right down to the hand soap...I could live on the dock area !!!
