About this property
LIVE WATER LODGE on Johnson Creek<br>4 Bedrooms sleep 9, 3.5 baths
EXCLUSIVE WATERFRONT HOME 4 BEDROOM - 3.5 BATH HOME (SLEEPS 9+) in the beautiful Texas Hill Country on the bank of Johnson Creek. PRIVATE gated property provides the comforts of home while relaxing under the stars and enjoying the big Texas sky. LARGE open living room and GOURMET KITCHEN make entertaining family and friends a breeze. Wrap around rock patio with GAS GRILL for family cookouts. FIRE PIT of native rock on the hillside overlooks Johnson Creek with built in seating . Large majestic pecan and oak trees shade the property.
Johnson Creek flows into the Guadalupe River and is spring fed, clear and flowing, with easy access to swim, fish, kayak, float or just sit and relax away from the crowds.
Less than 10 minutes to the Guadalupe River.
Saltillo tile floors in common areas. Granite counters and large eat-in island in the gourmet kitchen. Includes double oven, large refrigerator, electric cook top and built-in counter ice machine. Fully furnished with dishes and utensils. Crystal glassware and China available too. Hand scraped rustic dining table seats 12. Vaulted 24 foot ceilings with wood beams and a native rock wood burning fire place give the home the warm feel of a resort lodge. In the living room are all leather sofa, recliners and chair, a 65” flat screen TV, and indoor and outdoor airplay built-in speakers that allow guests to personalize their stay with their own play lists.
Windows that are floor to ceiling provide an open and panoramic view of the water and nature that make every one say, “Wow! What a view.” White tail, axis and red deer, blackbuck antelope, albino water buffalo, wild turkey, tobiano paint horses and wild birds can all be seen from inside the home.
Kari and Jake Short welcome you to sit deep and stay long as you relax in our Hill Country Lodge at Falling Rock.

The house was very well cleaned, plenty of room, with beautiful views. Jake the owner was very nice, helpful and flexible with check in/out. Definitely saving this place for the future!
We had a great time with our family ( seven adults and a baby). There was plenty of room to relax and play. The water water was cool respite from the summer heat. And the hosts made sure all was right.
We stayed here for our womens retreat and it was more than we could have ever imagined! The host were so easy to work with and so nice! This property is beautiful and has everything you can ever imagine! There is absolutely no need to leave and go anywhere else! The perfect place for our weekend getaway! We will definitely be coming back!
Great location just outside of town. Super property. We had kids from 1 to 14, 2 sets of parents, and one grandparent (and two dogs). Everyone had a great time playing in and around the creek and sitting around the fire. Dogs loved exploring. House is well laid out and very accommodating. Easy communications with owner before and during stay. Would absolutely stay here again.
Jake's property is phenomenal! It's extremely spacious, clean, and is located on a beautiful creek. Jake was very accommodating and responsive. He even brought us more firewood each night. Hats off to Jake and his property. We'll definitely look to book this again next year! 5 out of 5 all the way!
I was a bit nervous at first, but as soon as we drove up to the home we were blown away by the beauty of it. The outdoors was fantastic. Entering the home, was clean and open concept with enough room for all 11 travelers to be together at the same time, but not crowded. We had general questions and Jake responded quickly, he even went out to check the golf cart. We chatted and he’s a great guy! I can go on and on about how great the property and home was. Our family made great memories, and they are already making plans to visit the same home in a few months!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed the home with all the big windows looking out onto the beautiful hills/valleys surrounding the location with Johnson creek running along backside of the property. The golf cart was a necessary bonus that we used to carry young & old alike around the property. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.
But I would like to express to the property manager and/or owner that they severely need to replace mattresses on king sized bed in master. My husband & I experienced severe sleep deprivation sleeping on those mattresses. On the right side of mattress it was like it had seperated and had a deep hole. The left side of mattress was like sleeping on the side of a hill & almost drove me to go sleep on the couch. The trundle bed mattress in room with 3 twin beds also needs to be replaced due to it’s so soft there is no support. The fold out couch hideabed in the game room “Might” be okay for young kids, but not for adults. The other beds in the home were nice as told by my family. The rock creek side patio was a nice simple pleasure enjoyed by all. Also one of the patio furniture rocker/swivel chairs turned over backwards with me in it, I wasn’t injured. The houses heat/air unit went out the day before we got there & there were loud portable water coolers placed in living area and master bedroom which was a little disappointing. I believe this home could be a much desired property with investments listed above. We considered staying another night because of the beautiful eye appealing scenery surrounding the home, but couldn’t fathom spending another sleepless night on above mentioned mattresses. I’m sure that your return guest numbers would be increased with suggestioned upgrades. Sorry we couldn’t give better review, don’t take it personal, I’m being honest in effort to help you realize potential lost for return guests.
The Lodge on Johnson Creek is a wonderful property for family or group gatherings. The accommodations are top notch. My family has spent two Thanksgivings there and each time it was a great experience. The setting is gorgeous, there is ample room for everyone, and the kitchen & great room is perfect. Highest recommendation!!
Loved the house and river, need a rail around the right sidewalk of the patio, that step is a big one. But beside that it was great and would stayt there again.
This is our second time staying here and just as last year it was wonderful! Such a great experience and a beautiful property! Everything was so easy from checking in and checking out was so simple! We will for sure be back!
this property is a great spot for relaxing among beautiful scenery in the Hill Country. Great kitchen for cooking and large family room. The fire pit is awesome, too! We enjoyed it thoroughly!
I don’t even have words for this place. It was absolutely amazing …. Our only regret is that we did not have more time.
Perfect for a large family, book club, retreat or anything.
Everything you need is there.
Our book club had a blast! We are coming back!
Absolutely beautiful and private home on Johnson Creek! Perfect size for 3 families to spend a week together! Our teen kids loved having the bunk house for their own space. Creek was beautiful and great to sit and relax. Will definitely be returning for future trips!
If you are looking to spend a weekend doing nothing, then this is it !! This is one of the best places that we have rented in last several years. A very thought about setup. A perfect gateway place with great outdoor options - Covered patio, fire pit, creek / river in the back, picnic tables, in house sound system, etc. Cannot praise enough.
