We have stayed at The Shanty 3 times and found it adequate for our needs. There's a pretty area with flowers blooming in the backyard where you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee. We find the neighborhood quiet and peaceful and the house comfortable. I might mention, if you are sensitive to plug-in deodorizers make arrangements to have them removed prior to your arrival because they are in almost every outlet. The Grahams

This location is wonderful for anyone in a fishing tournament. The boat parking and close proximity to the ramp were major benefits. The hostess is extremely helpful and very nice. The house has been updated with the exception of the kitchen.

Great place as always, and is my go to when staying to fish. Plenty of parking for extra boats and vehicles and the house is very roomy. The furniture is very comfortable as well. The owner communicates quickly as well. Excellent place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay at The Shanty. Everything was clean and as described. We loved the decor, patio, parking for boats, and the ice machine. The coffee pot is small but we brought our own. We really enjoyed the house and would recommend staying here.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. We do host small weddings and events in the room in the back of the home. Hopefully not too much has spilled over into the home. I do not include the event room with VRBO stays, but I do allow for you to use the room to get to the back deck. Hope y’all choose to stay with us in the future.

Clean peaceful home!

This property is wonderful. We stayed at this property while we went on a guided fishing trip in Lake Sam Rayburn. Close to the boat landing, has boat parking to charge batteries. The home was very clean, neatly decorated, and had everything we needed. I look forward to coming back to stay here again!

Great place. The property is beautiful with lots of wildlife and the location is perfect. The convenience of the boat ramp being so close and the large shop for storage of boat/truck was great. The hostess was very friendly and accommodating to all of our needs. Went out of her way to make sure we had a great stay. Highly recommend staying at Longview farms!

Perfect Stay

This property is perfect! The price was great for a multi family stay. Plenty of room for everyone and had everything we needed! Even had toiletries. We were close to the pavilion which was nice since we were there for a fishing tournament. Even had a boat spot with electricity to charge over night. If we ever come back to Sam Rayburn we will for sure be staying here!

This place was super cute. We had our first little family getaway since 2012, my husband and our two adult kids. We enjoyed spending time boating nearby, and went to the Country Club enjoying live music and good food. The house was beautiful and even had a nice extra room, we were allowed to use, so we played board games and listened to music after long days in the sun. Thank you so much

Hidden gem in golf/lake community.

Private and quiet neighborhood, clean, comfortable beds and spacious living area. More amenities and appliances than expected in the full-service kitchen, which worked well since our group prepared and ate all of our meals there. The community was under a boil order during our stay and the host was thoughtful and kind enough to provide a case of bottled water for our convenience! It was perfect for our group and we would definitely stay again. The check-in/out times are generous and access was a breeze.
