About this property

Cabin #5 on Lake Livingston, Onalaska, Texas

Property is lakeside on the large 23 mile Lake Livingston, in wilderness with lots of trees, nature, wildlife, fishing, bird watching, relaxing, but yet also is conveniently only 2 miles from city grocery store and restaurants!

The cabin is a 2 story luxury log cabin that sleeps up to 7, it has housed 7 adults but we suggest 4 or 5 adults max & the rest children. It is 800 sqft, has 2 bedrooms, plus a loft with 3 beds, so 5 beds total.

Interior is knotty pine, hickory kitchen cabinets, white marble backsplash and countertops, cable tv, WiFi, all the comforts of quality beds, furniture, fully equiped kitchen, etc.

We also offer;
> small craft rentals at $35/day per kayak, canoe, peddle, &/or row boat.
> Jon boat w/trolling motor, 2 batteries, paddle and life vests at $50 for 4 hours, $10 (for each additional hour), or all day $75.
> pontoon boat rental w/ captain for touring, fishing trip, and or family fun with swimming & pull toys at $150 minimum, approx 2 hours, on up to max 4 people for fishing trip, and 8 for touring.

There are 6 cabins, 7 RV sites, 3 piers, 3 boat slips, 2 fish cleaning stations, and FM 356 is near. Please also see our other cabins and their availability at;

Cabin 1, sleeps 2, at Vrbo: 9464546

cabin 2, sleeps 4, at Vrbo: 1323933

cabin 3, sleeps 5, at Vrbo: 1340797

cabin 5, sleeps 4, at Vrbo: 9464533

Cabin has double wood siding interior & exterior that keeps it quiet inside, good people & rules make it great, or we help enforce quiet time rules. FM 356 traffic is normally quiet at night but can have some traffic noise during day.

Also not in cabins and or not normally any nuisance to people, but guests should be aware that we are on a natural lake and there can be in wetlands area across the street or in brush snakes, spiders, snapper turtles, alligator across the bridge, hawks, eagles, raccoons, etc. No real danger but occasionally for a couple days usually in spring or early summer, mom alligator will come and drop off a baby alligator off every couple years, stats with it a couple days then leaves. Baby tends to be about 3’ to max 3.5’ when this happens, is too small to be issue, can still only eat max size bullfrogs, kind of fun to watch, but then normally leaves as well within a few weeks cuz too much activity from us. Parks & Wildlife and licensed trappers both said to leave them alone when this small, just do what we do because most the little one can do is eat bullfrog and will leave to find different home if we keep up our activities. And after 8 years we see this is correct.

Nice property

Not the best place e to fish. More of a couple retreat.
Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Aug 2022
Not a correct review - many people fish and do well here, including as shown in some of the example pictures. But Melissa's family rented our Jon boat and wrapped their fishing lines so full and tight in the trolling motor, and kept trying to run it bound up and burned the motor up. We were gracious and they agreed to pay $50 for their damages but then we paid $120 plus labor to replace it. We try to help give instructions and help people to fish if they want, it's a good place to fish at right times and with right baits or lures, and we are more than happy to help, do help many, and some help us too. Anyway, we are happy to help if you would like some help. Thanks for your comment.

It was very nice

The owners are amazing!! They truly care about the people that come here. The cabin was nice and big and had everything we needed. It was also very clean. The AC's worked great but they were VERY loud which made it a bit hard to sleep. Even though it says swimming is available; the water was very dirty and brown. And we were informed that there is a baby alligator now. So we chose not to go swimming. The only thing we didn't like was the fact that there were spiders everywhere. On the outdoor furniture/cushions. The fishing pier and boats and the playground. And I don't mean your occasional bug/spider because you are outdoors. I am talking about hundreds of them. There were nests and webs everywhere. If they would be gone this would have been one fantastic vacation!! Overall it was really nice there and we enjoyed our visit very much :) Thank you Bernadette and Rick for being amazing hosts.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Jun 2022
Thanks for your comments Martina. We took apart that one AC, changed the water drain line to other side, & gave it deep coil and fan clean and its back to very quiet now.l but very sorry for that inconvenience. Baby alligator actually left the week prior - as stated in listing when one comes once per year around same time it doesn't stay long cuz of too much activities and that size baby can only eat max bullfrogs so no real issue there.l and many of us are swimming, fishing, and boating. Spiders are tough, I do spray and have bug zappers but we are at the lake and have trouble keeping them away from all the grounds just like all the other places up here have similar issue in the lake - the spring birds are back and helping eat them though. Thanks for your comments!
