Medina Lake Getaway - Pool with Lakefront Views

Welcome to Medina Lake Getaway. A newly renovated extensive waterfront home ideally situated in a quiet cove of Medina Lake. Just 45 minutes from San Antonio this is the ideal place for adventure or relaxation. Create magical memories with your family & friends in this modern, luxurious and spacious resort style home.

Important Notice: Medina Lake Level is very low, but our lovely swimming pool and views are still incredible!

This spectacular estate comprises of three main structures: Main House (sleeps 12), Barndominium (sleeps 4) and Guesthouse (sleeps 4). All three structures are joined together with covered well-lit walkways. Luxury appointments throughout the home with an open plan design and multiple entertainment spaces makes this the perfect family getaway.

The main house downstairs boasts a large fully appointed kitchen with a lovely, bright & airy, open plan design. Luxury appointments in the kitchen include granite counter tops, under counter lighting, soft-close draws, extendable taps, double sink, seated breakfast bar, stainless appliances, range, microwave, French door fridge with bottom freezer, water-maker & dishwasher. Kitchen windows have views of the yard and play areas. Amenities include crockpot, toaster, mixer, blender, BBQ cooking kit, pots, pans, skillets, 2xdrip coffee pots, knife block, cutlery and a dinner setting for 24 people. There is also a generous supply of other useful & common kitchen items & glassware. A half-bathroom is conveniently located at the rear house entrance by the kitchen.

From the kitchen walk down a few steps into the library space, maybe take a nap in the oversized comfy reading chair by the window. Continue through the house to the impressive Great Room and enjoy fantastic uninterrupted views through oversized windows overlooking the lake & pool. This space is incredibly large and designed for dining, games, rest &/or relaxation. The dining table seats 12 people. The extra-large lounge suite and beanbags offer the perfect environment for watching a movie or playing games on the large wall-mounted smart TV. The TV is also connected to an excellent sound system with sub-woofer.

Also downstairs is the sunken master bedroom (queenbed) with a lit walk-in robe (hidden behind the bedroom door), study nook, storage cupboard & large comfortable lounge chair, ceiling fan and dedicated A/C. Just beyond the main master bedroom door is the full bathroom which is effectively the ensuite (however technically it can be accessed by others in the house if they know where to find it). This bathroom has a massive shower, toilet, large sink, granite counter tops and a lot of counter space.

There is an internal spiral staircase from the library taking you to the second level of the main house. There is also an external set of stairs to access upstairs too (so there is no need to attempt to carry luggage via the spiral staircase).

On the second level of the main house are three bedrooms: two queen bedrooms and one bunk room. There is a full bathroom and a half-bath too (so two toilets upstairs). Also on this level is the Sky Bar which has a wet bar area with mini fridge that leads via French doors to the stunning roof top Sky Deck. This is a spectacular space to enjoy a quiet morning coffee, sunset drinks or simply a mindful escape.

The Barndominium boasts a very large entertainment area, bedroom, full bathroom with large shower, laundry (washer & dryer) & separate toilet. In the entertainment space is a wet bar compete with neon lights, pool & fuseball tables, massive lounge suite, TV, fridge & sound system. The bedroom has a queen bed with a bunk bed (sleeps 4 people) and has a dedicated A/C and ceiling fan.

The Guesthouse is a third separate building on the estate. This fully self-contained private space is perfect for a family with young kids. It has a large bedroom with a queenbed and bunk bed, so it sleeps 4 people. It also has a 3 seater lounge chair, A/C & ceiling fan. The private full bathroom consists of a shower, toilet and pedestal handbasin with a third adjoining room containing ample storage, large granite countertop with inset sink & a lot of space – perfect to spread out a little more.

For the mobility challenged the Guesthouse is suitable for walkers and wheelchair access via a ramp, as is the kitchen to the main house. All other areas of the estate have steps or stairs. All showers throughout the property have step-up entry and are not suitable for roll-in wheelchair access.

Each of the three structures (main house, guesthouse & barndominium) each have their own dedicated hot water systems for fast delivery of hot water. All bedrooms and main living spaces throughout the estate are air conditioned, most with ceiling fans too. Wifi is also provided and is accessible throughout the three separate buildings.

The private outdoor pool is a highlight of property with amazing uninterrupted lake views, underwater seats, shallow swim area especially for the kids and fun underwater mood lighting. Next to the pool is a large stone deck area for pool side seating, BBQ & fully shaded dining area. Beyond the pool are wooden stairs leading down to the lake.

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.

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.

Eclipse
The place was perfect for us and would have been even better if it hadn’t been cloudy. The sky deck was perfect for sky watching. The three separate spaces made it great for everyone to have their own space. Also the barndorium was great for evening entertainment with pool tournaments going all evening. The only sad part was seeing the dry lake but we weren’t there for the water so we didn’t mind. Really enjoyed our stay.

Family Vaca
Very peaceful. Drive there was scenic. House was great, the barndeminum, and cottage were great , for families with little ones. The main house had a bedroom with only few steps. Upstairs bedrooms had plenty of beds. The pool in the backyard was beautiful. The kids were in it most of the time. The owners and manager were very helpful with things that came up. The location would be perfect if they hadnt been working on the dam , so no water in the cove.

Family Vacay
Annual extended family vacation while college kids were still on break! Lots of things to do while we were there and with multiple families the guest house and barndominium, beside the main house were perfect! Allowed the older generation to have quiet time while the rest of us finished game marathon! Close enough to San Antonio for the river walk, Alamo and shopping, yet centrally located enough to hit up a rodeo in a different small town while were there. Vacay was in January so off season for the pool but still had young ones who were brave enough to test the waters ( for very brief stints!) Great house, location and communication with property manager, would definitely stay again. Thanks!

A place for family get-togethers
My family and I were pleased with this Medina Lake getaway. We had a few issues come up regarding the house but all were handled in a quick and professional way by the hosts. As stated by the hosts, the lake is at an all-time low so if you are here for the lake, there is not much to look at but the view is still very nice. And the pool was very enjoyable and appreciated during the hot summer months. Overall we had a blast here. It is nice to step out of city living and slow life down for a week.
