Nestled on the banks of Lake Marble Falls and just five minutes from Lake LBJ, the charming town of Marble Falls offers the perfect blend of small-town life and natural beauty. With a population of around 7,200, it's conveniently located about 45 miles northwest of Austin—close enough for an easy commute, yet far enough to enjoy a peaceful Hill Country lifestyle.

Marble Falls was founded in 1887 by General Adam “Stovepipe” Johnson, a retired Confederate officer known for his cunning during the Civil War. He famously bluffed Union forces in Newburgh, Indiana, by deploying fake cannons made from stovepipes and wagon wheels—earning him his memorable nickname.

Looking to explore further? San Antonio lies just 85 scenic miles south on Highway 281, offering even more options for shopping, dining, and sightseeing.

Whether you're into boating, fishing, golfing, hunting, camping, swimming, or simply soaking in the sights, Marble Falls has something for everyone. Add in the warmth and hospitality of the local community, and it’s easy to see why so many choose to call this special place home.
