About this property

Home on the Lake w/ Pool and Boat Dock

A place that is great for everyone. 3 bedroom 2 bath that sleeps 9 comfortably. Life can be busy, but at the lake house everyone comes together. These are the memories that will last a lifetime, and the stories that will be told and laughed about for decades. Enjoy campfires, S'mores, fishing and swimming on the lake, game night, sun rises, and so much more. With access to 150 ft of water frontage, two boat ports, a pool, and a fire pit, the possibilities are endless.
Bring your boat and park it in the boat dock. Teach your kids to fish. Fishing is great all year around. Catch largemouth bass, catfish, crappie, or hybrid striped bass. The large dock is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine with someone special, while watching the blue herons catch fish, or the kids play on the paddle boards. The yard is large enough for Volleyball, badminton, or corn hole, with access to the pool during the summer months.

The house was in a great location and the pool was a great addition. The only problem we had with the house was the cleanliness. Other than that the place was nice and relaxing for a weekend.

Great place

We had a great time while at this property. The owners checked in regularly to make sure we had what we needed and answered any questions we had quickly. The pool was perfect for the kids and my husband loved fishing on the dock. It was also really convenient that they had kayaks and pool toys for the guests use. Would definitely stay again!

The family and I had a great time! The house was cleaned, had everything we needed. We spent most our days outside fishing and enjoyed the fire pit. Also, the property manager was in constant communication, making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely book again!

Great Pool With An Awesome View

Swim away the day while you gaze at the lake!!! Lake was way down so we could not figure out how to get down to water for lake water play like kayaks and such, but it was fine because the pool was clean and cool and had a great view.

Unfortunately, there were a few major issues with the property that interfered with our stay. The main issues were outside. The structure around the pool is falling apart. The wood is rotting, the second step has a massive hole in it covered by a 2x4 that makes the step uneven, and the top step is split right down the middle with one wood panel sagging. The edge of the pool is loose, rickety/not safe to put weight on in some places (like when a kid is pulling themselves out of the pool), and the edges are rusted and sharp in some places which had me worried about little legs climbing out of the pool. Most of the pool chairs are either broken or missing cushions to cover crazy hot metal. The picnic table seen in the listing pictures is completely unusable. Wood rotting and falling apart, rusty bolts exposed. All of these are expensive fixes that take time. And if it had just been one issue I could easily overlook it. But on top of the safety concerns outside, the inside was not as expected. Many surfaces hadn’t been wiped down (coffee table, side tables), there were fresh stains on the throw pillows. Basic necessities were missing without a heads up to bring our own. There were no bath mats (slipping hazard), shampoo and conditioner was provided but no bar soap/body wash, there were dishwasher pods but no dish soap, and despite a fully equipped kitchen with all kinds of cooking tools, there was no basic counter/kitchen cleaner to use to clean up after ourselves.

Nice Getaway

We needed a quick getaway close to the DFW area. This was just what we needed. We spent most of our time in the pool enjoying the peace and quite. We did do some fishing, which was really easy. The fish were swimming right around the dock. The house was clean and comfortable and the property owners made us feel welcome. The s'mores kit was an extra special touch. We will be back!

We loved our stay in Kemp! House was fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, coffee maker and more. Loved the washer/dryer and detergent provided. The shampoo/conditioner in the bathrooms was a extra added touch! Thanks for the smore's fixings!! We loved fishing off the pier! Pool was clean and clear. Toward the end of the day there was enough shade to swim without the sun totally beating down on you! So those that didn't want all the sun could still enjoy the pool! Great big table for us all to sit and eat at! Open space in living room! Loved the windows! Beds comfortable! Plenty of space for the 9 of us! The paddled board was a plus! We will for sure come back again!

Family Staycation

We weren't able to travel this year for vacation due to work, new babies, kid's sports, etc. So, we opted for a "Staycation" this year. It was just what we needed. We will definitely do it again!

The property is as perfect for our family. We didn’t have to leave, we relaxed in the pool. We fished at night and made s’mores around the camp fire! It was so much fun that the kids are ready to do it all over again next summer!

Beautiful Pool Home on the Lake

Exceptional home that only has 1450 sq ft but felt so much larger! There was 7 of us and we never felt claustrophobic. Our grandkids loved the pool and fishing off the large dock. This home is perfectly located: close to restaurants and grocery stores. We cannot wait to return! Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Relaxing

We greatly enjoyed our stay. Our boys wanted to stay longer. It was a great getaway from the daily hustle and bustle in the city of Houston. Even though we weren't able to get in the water due to temperature, our boys spent a lot of time outdoors: like flying our kites, making smores, playing games (they have plenty of board games there). The host have a binder with restaurant and activity suggestions. We were able to go to the Line Star marina. Great remodeled home and plenty of space for everyone! Thank you for allowing us to make great memories.

Great Escape and Exactly as Described

We were thankful to have such a lovely home to retreat to with. my sister and her family. There were four adults and three kiddos under the age of seven in our group. We had great access to the lake! Such beautiful sunrises and we had front row seats to a magical full moon! We enjoyed having the option of a pool. We were not able to use the pool due to the cooler weather, but the kids enjoyed casting their lines for practice. The home is exactly as described and the beds were very comfortable. A king is always preferred, but that is simply being picky. We enjoyed several pots of coffee (no single pods), the use of the kitchen appliances like pots, pans, oven-friendly dishes, and various eating and cooking utensils. We appreciated there were first aid kits, life jackets, laundry and dish detergent, pool and lake toys in the garage, extra blankets, sheets, a comfortable couch, patio furniture, picnic table outdoors, and other well-thought-out aspects of the home. This is a great place to stay with kids. We enjoyed nightly s'more family gatherings around the fire pit, kayaking with the kids, fishing, feeding the ducks, and simply hanging out inside and outside of the home. This is for sure a town where you're glad you have a great place to stay. We ordered out food a few times, visited a nearby brewery, and dined at a lakefront restaurant, and they were all ok. Simply put, we were glad we had a fun home to stay in and simply be and feel at home in. It was worth every penny for the memories we had there. Owners were responsive and check-in was easy. The home is secure and is a must visit.
