Myself and a group of friends decided to stay here instead of a hotel for a wedding we had in the area. Best decision we've ever made. The house is great, the yard is extremely well manicured, and we couldn't have asked for a better view at sunset. On top of that, we found out later from others in the wedding party that we were paying less per person for the entire weekend than what they paid per night at their hotel! My only regret was that we couldn't stay longer. If you're looking for a place in the area, look no further.

Owner response: Thanks so much for the kind words and nice review. We're glad the wedding went well and everyone had a great time. Come back anytime, and feel free to stay longer! :-)

We had a great time at Awesome View lake house! The view is gorgeous!! The house was comfortable, and has everything you need. Just show up & relax! The owners were great to work with, and made sure our stay was the best. Thanks, Mark & Brenda! We hope to visit again soon!

We rented Awesome View for 2 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. The view is definitely awesome. The boat slips are very handy. We loved using the fire pit. Everything was spotless and well-stocked. We hope to be able to rent again soon!

This couldn't be a better place for individuals or family members to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, the sounds of nature, and beautiful surroundings of a lake environment. The descriptions and photos on the website are exactly what you get and well worth the price. The owners, Mark and Brenda, are the real deal and sincerely have the visitor's best interest at heart and want to provide an enjoyable stay. The property is VERY well maintained! We're going to stay at the Creekside next time to enjoy time in the woods with the deer. The drive from Dallas was very easy and not so long where the kids start to ask "when are we going to get there." A definite place to return to!

Owner response: Thanks so much for the nice review. We look forward to another visit with your family and friends. If you choose to stay at Awesome View it will have a nice new concrete driveway and all new Hardie Plank siding.

Amazing Property. Clean, Well Kept, Well Supplied. Owners were very nice to work with. The real highlight of the property is the back of the house/dock. We had plenty of room to sit outside and relax while taking in the "Awesome View" of the lake. There is no doubt in my mind that we will visit again.

The Most Wonderful Place to Stay!

Guest Pammysue

Review Submitted 07/11/12

We just spent a week at "Awesome View" ~ myself, husband, son and his friends and, had a wonderful time. The extra amenities that this house has exceeds all expectations. We have stayed in many vacation rentals & it is sometimes difficult to know if the description & pictures are accurate. Well, as the pictures indicate ~ this house is amazing. We turned on all the outside lights each night; lighting up the trail of deck stairs, lights around the lower water level decks and fishing lights made this house look so beautiful. We took out boat out one night and could see the house lit up from across the water ~ it was really quite something to view. Everything inside the house was also so beautiful. Everything you could possibly want in the kitchen. The owners Mark & Brenda were more than accommodating with all my questions & emails and eager to prepare for our arrival. The wood flooring in this home is beautiful; beds were comfortable with extra pillows & blankets; loved cooking in the kitchen; bathrooms & showers were great and decorated so well; provided beach towels (which we had forgotten). Everything was new & the home was very clean, something that's very important to me. The Flowers outside were so incredibly beautiful it was like being in your own private Sanctuary! There simply are not enough words to fully describe "Awesome View" and the comfort level it provides. We were in a melancholy state of mind when we had to leave and can only look to the future for a time to return to this wonderful and beautiful home. Thanks for sharing such a great place for our family and friends to spend our vacation at and we look forward to returning soon.

I decided on the day of that my family needed to get out of Conroe for the weekend. I booked online and after talking with the owners Mark & Brenda Copus, arranged to stay at Awesome View. We headed out to Crockett and we loved every minute we stayed. It was really peaceful: My husband was off his cell phone and took our oldest son fishing as I lounged around with the baby. Stars at night, lake during the day..Who needs more?

My wife and I rented Awesome View for a long weekend with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandkids (ages 3,5,11). It was a wonderful weekend - even with 100 degree days. Everything is as pictured in the ad and absolutely clean and well kept. The decks were a delight with misters and fans to keep us cool and in the shade. Grandkids caught lots of pan fish off the dock and we enjoyed the kayaks and 2-person fishing boat. We hope to return for a fall trip and would highly recommend this property to others.

Owner response: Thanks for the kind review. We're glad you enjoyed yourselves and we are sure you'll love the fall colors and temperatures!

We had a wonderful week at Awesome View. It definitely has the right name. This place is a hidden treasure. The outside decks are the best part. Great for families with kids. The owners have taken great care to make this whole place feel homey and warm. All the flowers they have carefully placed all around the outside make it look so pretty. We were very impressed with the whole experience and will definitely return. They even provided floats and water toys. They were very friendly and helpful to us when booking and bent over backwards to provide answers to all our questions. We absolutely loved this place.

When we were making plans to visit - I thought, "3 whole days". The time went so fast - a weekend is just not enough time to completely enjoy Awesome View. I look forward to a return visit. Thank you for thinking of everything visitors would need during their visit. Your home was immaculate and the grounds were beautiful. We love your house, property and especially your wonderful hospitality. Thank you so much, we really loved family time around the fire at night. It was an Awesome family get together at Awesome View. Everything was perfect. We loved going into Crockett with its small town charm and really enjoyed Christmas on the Square. I highly recommend Awesome View to everyone. Thanks again!

Wow, what an awesome place. The house is beautiful, right on the lake, with an absolutely inspiring deck down to the water. Sunsets across the lake were picture perfect. I found time to read, swim, and just plain relax as my wife and daughter did the same. We will definately be back and will tell others about this place. Thanks for letting us stay in Awesome View.

I had a great time at awesome view! I know my Dad loved it too because he grew up here! We went kayaking and boating and swimming! My cousin got three HUGE fish, I learned how to fish, Mom relaxed. Dad found a house he grew up in that looked the same as it did 35 years ago. My only complaint is that we didn’t stay long enough! Thanks Mark & Brenda for an awesome vacation. From Dad: The sunset views, the fishing, the decks and that cool lake I have always loved, every detail was perfect. You guys have done an incredible job and are wonderful hosts. We will be back!

Our family truly enjoyed our stay here at Houston County Lake. Everything about the house was very nice. We enjoyed the decks, piers and docks. It was great to be here at the lake my Husband (boyfriend at the time) and I swam in as teenagers in 1969, yes 40 years ago! We were both raised in Grapeland and enjoyed bringing our entire family here for a summer vacation. We hope to be back soon!! Kenneth & Janis S Mont Belview, Texas

We had a lovely stay at your property. It was the perfect relaxing getaway for our family. The boys loved the hot tub and want us to get one at our house. Our cook out at the fire pit was so much fun. The boys enjoyed cooking their hot dogs and roasting their marshmallows by themselves. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Thanks for providing such a wonderfully relaxing place to get away from the city. We are already planning our next trip. We are going to tell all our family and friends! Thanks so much! PS - Thanks for the fresh eggs.
