Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
We don't post front yard photos, the address or the map for security purposes. We know that is important to travelers so if you are a serious inquirer, we are happy to give you that info. We love our neighbors and want to respect there privacy. We know those of you who may be interested in our home will understand.
We LOVE sharing our home with families, church retreats, corporate travelers, Snow Birds, Senior Travelers...what a joy it is to have such a great home and be able to allow others to enjoy a relaxing home away from home.
Why the Owner Chose Willis
We always dreamed of having a retreat camp...when "The Eagle's Nest" fell into our lap, we could not have imagined how our retreat camp idea would turn out to be a retreat home. We bought the house from family with the idea of renting it and eventually retiring here...but God had other plans...and His plans are always so much better!
The Unique Benefits of this House
Besides all of the already mentioned benefits, the lake house is laid out where the bedrooms are on one end, the family room with the television is in the middle, and the kitchen, dining and large game room/den area are on the far end. Several guests have commented that we need to let people know more about the layout, because it is so functional. When the football game is going on the big TV in the living room, the rest of the family (not so interested in the noisy TV) have a great place to gather and play games, cook, eat...just enjoy being together. Oh! And we have converted the garage into a game room for foosball and airhockey. Other benefits are a large back yard with shade trees, a boat dock to fish and enjoy the water and the sunsets.

Conroe Lakefront with Big Water Views!

What a great waterfront location in Lake Conroe. We spent most of our time on the covered deck enjoying the views of the Lake Conroe’s open waters and beach island. The house is spotlessly clean and well appointed with just about everything you could need. There was lots of open space and sitting areas. You could tell that this house was furnished with vacationing needs in mind. Foosball, Air Hockey, Kayaks, Fishing Poles, Board Games, Puzzles, DVD's, WiFi were all supplied and kept everyone entertained. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the eagles nest lake retreat.

I thought the home owners would have a hard time competing with the great VRBO properties we rented in Hawaii, but they certainly delivered. The house is everything the other reviewers have said, and more. I could have stayed on the boat dock for our entire trip. My children and grandchildren had a wonderful weekend also--a very kid friendly place.

What a wonderful place to spend the weekend with your girlfriends! Very peaceful and quiet. The house was exactly as described and has plenty of room. Nicely laid out so bedrooms are away from the main part of the house. Great views of the lake and it's activities. Highly recommend. Vicki was great to work with and very accomodating. We look forward to going back!

We enjoyed this lake house immensely. I have stayed at several lake houses and was pleasantly surprised at how modern, well furnished and comfortable this place was. It has ample parking in the front if you're pulling a boat, a huge yard in back for playing games with the kids, a garage that has been converted to a game room with a foozball and air hockey table, nice sized rooms with lots of comfortable beds, a large family meeting area and a large covered boat dock. It felt like home down to the granite counter tops, comfortable decor and nice fixtures. Also I really appreciated that both the house and the grounds were in excellent shape with fresh paint and maintained landscaping. We brought a boat and caught lots of crappie and several nice catfish off the dock. Nice place to bring the kids and relax. Would highly recommend and will go again.

Family, friends and extended family celebrated Christmas at the Eagles Nest. We gathered around the fire pit and watched the beautiful sunsets over the lake, enjoyed the many games and puzzles provided by Vicki and family and cooked and ate to our heart's content in the lovely, accommodating kitchen and dining area. We are hoping we can find availability during the warm weather, invite someone up with a boat, fish and swim. You will love it!

We stayed in the lake house this summer for two months and found it to be wonderful. It was fully stocked with everything we could possibility think of and was so warm and inviting. We felt like we were at home. The home is ideally located on the lake in a lovely cove with beautiful sunsets. We grilled and dined outside just about every evening for dinner while the kids kayaked, swam and skied from the dock. I don't think we missed a sunset. Gorgeous!! The home owners went out of their way to accommodate us with whatever we needed to make our stay more pleasant and were a pleasure to work with. The home is beautifully decorated and accommodates family groups well. It is also located in a quiet neighborhood great for morning walks. The owners have stocked the home with so many extras, games, movies, fishing poles, kayaks, ects that you will not be at a loss of what to do. They have literally thought of everything for you so all you need to do is bring your swim suit and a change of clothes and plan on enjoying a wonderful time. It is evident from the moment you open the door that their intent of this lake home is for your enjoyment and relaxation. We recommend this home highly and look forward to returning again. It is a little piece of heaven on earth.

We stayed at this lake house to celebrate our 30th birthdays. This house was perfect, just what we were looking for in order to have a fun and relaxing weekend with our most intimate friends. It was in excellent condition and we felt like we were at home! Vicki and her husband are so sweet! They let us use whatever was in the house and even left some goodies for us. Thanks so much, the watermelon was delicious! We loved sitting out by the water, playing all the games (the garage is a game room),and grilling outside in the backyard all weekend. It was just the fun and relaxing weekend we were hoping for! We will definitely be coming back again!

We just returned from our Labor Day family gathering at the most wonderful lake house. The warm and inviting home had everything we needed. The public boat ramp was near the house and the private dock and boat slip were just steps out the back door. We enjoyed fishing and kayaking. At the end of the day we'd cook out on the grill and enjoy the most amazing lake views. We planning on making this an annual event! Thanks for sharing your lovely home.

My family - all 13 of us - eight adults and five kids spent three days and three nights at this lovely home. It was very comfortable; there's plenty of space to spread out and relax for everyone. We enjoyed sitting out on the dock - the hammock is my favorite! The kitchen is roomy and has everything you need. I hope we can all go back next year!
