My first to LBJ also, however I don't believe there is a wrong place to stay in this area.
Big tourist area. Local Hotels: https://www.google.com/search?q=marb...-a&channel=nts
Others will have to help on cabin rentals with slips. I believe the best thing is an area hotel.

Update: Just spoke with LBJ Yacht Club & Marina, they have no transient / overnight slip rentals.
Update2: Spoke with Horseshoe Bay Resort, they have slip rentals at $45 a night, IF you are a Hotel guest. Off Marina site trailer storage. (No Marina parking for trailers)

I really do not have any ideas as I want to store away from the DFW area as boating really stinks here. No performance, not poker runs, no water and I am in the business 25 years. Anyways I looked at a place on Cedar Creek Lake and it was already rented. I had to go down there to winterize boats and jetskis. Heck there is not much water there either. I could not even run any of the lake house customers boats because it was mud under their boats - no water.
if you build something try to get some extra land and build a building big enough to house some other boats. You can charge rent monthly to help pay for what you built. Also if you do not want the added expense of making a bigger building at least get enough land that you can put possible car ports up and charge storage that way. I know easier said than done. Good luck and I will keep tabs on what pans out for you. I would store something down there plus I have everything to run a complete marine shop and a lot of parts inventory if any of that means something to whomever. No BS.

When it gets cold for a few days put a small heater in your boat for a few days. I have never witnerized one of my boats, that being said I have seen a few freeza damaged blocks when I was in the boat business in Austin, This is the other reason I store my boat indoors. Not that hard to witnerize it yourself, Getting the drains on the block might be a little tough with twin engines, but I always figured you were part acrobat anyway. Happy to help if you want.

If you don't want to really worry about it then I would just get one of these (or make your own)....

Fill it up with this...

And you'll be fine.
But I agree with formula223 that a small heater or even a drop light in the bilge will work. But then again it's already snowing a lot up north so who knows what kind of winter we're all in for this year.

Well I managed to pick up a 5000 sqft warehouse about 8 miles from Conroe. With an extra 2000sqft available, it's off the beaten path but totally worth it! If anyone needs a spot out the weather just let me know!
