Any advice on where I should advertise this house?


PB flathead 34.5 lbs - I know it's small but it was still the record for Lake Travis when I caught it!
PB Blue 58.5 lbs jugline 43.5 lbs on R&R which was the other Lake Travis record when caught.

AirBnB, Craigslist or Homeaway to start with, maybe?


Toads for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Looks nice but the non-potable water combined with the price (and no online reviews) would be a deal-breaker for me as a general user of VRBO / AIRBNB.

We are listed on AirBnB I avoid Craigslist but will check out Homeaway.

We stock 3 five gallon jugs of drinking water in the house. Online reviews will come.

I just need a few fishermen to start using the place. I may lower price some to get it started. If anyone from here wants to rent just e-mail me through AirBnB and we can wheel and deal.

BTW - White bass (males) are there now. Won't be long until the big females are there.

Don’t forget to give a weekly rate. Which is just a discounted nightly rate, for longer stays.

We did. 20% off for a week and 40% off for a month.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what makes water good enough to wash dishes and clothes in, but not good enough to cook with or drink? Looks like a nice quiet place to get away from everything.

Chemical pollution for one. The streams in New England are beautiful clear running water but will no longer support native trout due to pollution.

I'm not a water well expert. I just go by what all the surrounding neighbors do. All the wells hit the same water. It may be good to drink but I play it safe and only consume purified water.

FYI - I updated pricing and lowered the cleaning fee in order to get a few people out to get started.

Fish starting to bite down south. A few whites in the evening also. Didn't try for any catfish but they're almost always close by.

We now have plenty of reviews. I'm installing a water softener next week and then getting water tested. We still stock 5 gallon water jugs people can use. The water's not bad. I think it just has more iron in it than I like but the softener should take that out.

We do weekly and monthly discounts.

Upgraded the steps/ramp to get down to the dock. Lots more fishing room now.
