Everything was absolutely perfect! Richard and Carol have thought of every little detail to make our visit special, from the variety utensils in the kitchen to the welcoming bedrooms and the range of outdoor settings, our Thanksgiving stay was amazing. We paddled out to see the sunset from the middle of the lake at Richard's suggestion and it was just as described. We will definitely go back sometime.

Everything was as described. We had all we needed to enjoy a weekend of peace and tranquility. Enough room for 6 people and our dogs. We all enjoyed the weekend relaxing outside by the water or on the water. Would definitely be happy to come back, I’ve already had several friends ask for the info to this property since being back. Highly recommend!

A great family trip

We took our kids here for a week long summer vacation. This stay was amazing. Our kids loved the paddle boards and my husband and I had a great time fishing. We would come back! Bonus: The hosts are incredible. I’ve never had such quick response time from hosts and we stay at quite a few rental homes every year!

Very Relaxing

Loved the place. Had a great outdoor set up we used as often as we could when it wasn’t raining. Spent one whole day out on the dock taking in the peacefulness. Would definitely book again.

Relaxing, Boating, Fishing…it has it all!

This location is perfect for a getaway. The property is amazing & has many amenities to entertain everyone regardless of what you like doing. The big pedal boat is an absolute must when going out on the lake. I highly recommend anyone trying to get away from the rush of the day to day to come here & experience the views, peace, & beauty.

A absolutely amazing little retreat

This lake house had everything we needed. It was my husband and I, our 4 kids plus 2 friends for the kids. This lake house had it all. It didn't matter if it was raining outside the house had everything we could have ever wanted. The lake was so peaceful I was able to not worry about the older kids taking kayaks out. It's a dream vacation if you want to just get away from the city. I loved every second, I can't wait to come back.

There is something magical about this place. The lake is beautiful and serene. All the water toys really make it worth it. Everybody had something to be in the water. So fun. In the evening, games abound the dining table. It's my favorite family place and the folks that host it... fabulous! They are quick to answer questions and never make you feel like your annoying. They were fabulous. This was my second time here. Almost want to play it down so it will available (ha), but want others to experience it too.

Great hidden getaway

My wife and absolutely loved this location. This was one of the best places we’ve vacationed at and I would go back in a second. The house is wonderful and right up against the lake. It’s well covered by trees and has everything you need to enjoy a quick getaway. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive. This is a great place and I look forward to going back.

Perfect family getaway

Quiet neighborhood and backyard lake access made this a great getaway for the whole family. A lot of small touches that gave us plenty to do during a rainy day, and access to kayaks and a paddleboat for the rest of the time. It's a great lake with beautiful scenery, a great house with lots to do, and a definite "let's go again" from everyone.

Great cabin and location

My friend and I needed a base camp for a fishing trip on the Trinity River and a nice place to cook a nice dinner and relax at the end of the day. We were within 10 to 30 minutes of all the boat launches where we meet our guides, and came back to a well equipped kitchen and charcoal grill to prepare a nice fresh fish dinner. We’d sit on the dock dunking worms to end each evening. We will be back!
