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!

Lake Front Paradise

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.

Awesome visit to Awesome View

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.
