📍 Location Perfection
Lake McQueeney is a private lake known for its exceptional skiing and fishing 🎣🎿 and is just 10 minutes from New Braunfels. That means you’re close to amazing restaurants, shopping, live music, and tubing on the Guadalupe River 🛶🍹 — yet tucked away in a peaceful lakeside setting.

🌾 A Rich Texas History
McQueeney’s roots run deep in Texas agriculture. Named after founder S.N. McQueeney, the area flourished as farmers and ranchers settled along the Guadalupe River. Over time, the peaceful waters and scenic beauty transformed it into a beloved retreat for vacationers and second-home owners. Today, it still carries that small-town charm while serving as a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, history lovers, and families seeking a slower pace of life 🤍

Lake McQueeney truly is the heart of it all — boating, waterskiing, fishing, kayaking, tubing, family picnics, and long summer days on the water 💦☀️ The clear waters and picturesque surroundings create the perfect backdrop for both adventure and relaxation.

This is more than just a lake house — it’s a true family home steeped in history, thoughtfully shared by owners who take great pride in welcoming others into their special place ❤️🏡 A wonderful space to start traditions, celebrate milestones, and create memories that will last for generations.

Come experience classic Texas lake life the way it was meant to be. 🌊✨
