About this property

3BR/2BA, Sleeps 10, Lakefront Cabin w/Private Pier, Firepit, Pets Welcome

Living Spaces:
With two separate living spaces, there’s plenty of room for everyone to find their groove. The spacious living room features vaulted ceilings with beautiful beadboard detail. Between the upper dormer windows and the lower windows and door, the home is flooded with sunshine. They also create the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the lakefront view as you relax comfortably on the sofa or leather recliners. When the evening rolls around, take advantage of the lightning fast (500+Mbps) WiFi to stream your favorite show, movie, or sporting event on the 70” HDTV.

The game room brings the outdoors in with a full wall of screening. Here is the spot for a friendly competition on the English dartboard. Then it’s time to crack a beer from mini-fridge and tune in to your favorite streaming service on the flat-screen TV.
Or maybe play a board game from the extensive collection.

Cooking & Dining:
The fully-equipped kitchen has an open-concept style, perfect for keeping up with the conversation! You’ll find all you need to create anything from a simple snack to a gourmet meal. Maybe you’ll get lucky with some fresh fish for dinner! The large peninsula bar comfortably seats three.

With the stunning views and comfortable weather, you may want to enjoy your meals alfresco. We make it easy with both a picnic table, charcoal grill, and fire pit that doubles as a grill with Adirondack chairs all around.

Sleeping Accommodations and Bathrooms:
The Heart of Huxley Bay sleeps up to 10. The first level features two queen bedroom suites and the loft has two full beds and a queen pull-out couch.

We also provide a Pack ‘n’ Play for your little ones.
Each of the two ensuite baths offers a tub/shower.
For our remote worker guests, the loft boasts a complete workstation, including mounted monitors, docking station, and printer!

Outdoor Amenities:
Where do I start?! The star of the show here is Mother Nature herself - just check out that amazing lakefront view, as soon as you set foot out the front door.
The private pier allows you to swim, fish, or boat (or any combination thereof!) right outside the front door.

Gather around the firepit in the evenings to grill the catch of the day, roast marshmallows, or maybe just tell some ghost stories. Firewood is included.

Try your luck at the included yard games like ladder golf, kan-jam, and bottle bash.
Bring all your toys! We’ve got a large boat/RV carport with power hookups.

We love dogs and think no vacation is complete without our furry family members. They even get their own bed and fenced run here.

Catch an afternoon siesta in the braided rope hammock.

Extras:
It’s our goal to create a 5-star experience for all our guests. One of the ways we do that is by providing all the extras we would want on lake vacation. Some of these extras include kayaks, basic fishing poles and tackle, lake floats, coolers, and folding camp chairs.

Dirty house in a great location
DO NOT stay here. We arrived after a days drive to the messiest, disgusting, worn down, unkempt place I have stayed. We contacted the owner who apologized, and offered several things to make a "5 star " experience. The furniture is worn out with holes, ripped nails coming through. It took us over 3 hours to clean place, after we bought cleaning supplies. There was blood on a pillow. Urine stains on the back of toilet, dirty sheets, food stuck to the fridge, abd the stove. For 8 people we had 3 rolls not of toliet paper.Owner offered to reimburse us for the issues, and for money spent on supplies.When we left 38mins late he tried to charge us more after all this. He had texted to ask us at 1130 if we could hurry up and get packed up. I told him were were headed out the door...packing truck. We then again pointed out all the issues with a few before, and after pictures and he decided not to pursue that. When we were 3 hours cleaning initially. He was going to charge for 38 minutes. This owner doesn't care about the condition of the property. He even admitted he hadn't been there in sometime. Save your money, don't stay here . The owner isn't someone I would deal with again, as he is dishonest. He never did reimburse for toliet paper (The house per its description has that). Bottom line the house is gross. The only pro of the house for us is it sits on a beautiful lake. They have out door games, indoor games, fishing poles, awesome fire pit. Lots of outdoor area to spread out, a

We very much enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean, cozy, and included many amenities. My kids were pleased with the basket of treats on arrival. We had fun fishing, kayaking, board games, darts, sitting by the fire etc. We loved being able to have our fur baby with us. We would love to return during the summer!

Very nice place!
We really enjoyed our stay this week. The house was very clean, well appointed for decorations and they had the kayaks, life jackets, fishing poles, everything you needed. Just bring the bait! Bring paper plates if you don’t want to wash dishes. There were many pots and pans, which was great. Plenty of spices, etc for cooking. We definitely will come back if we have the time. Owner of the house was very helpful and responded quickly to text. Thank you again Josh!!

Wonderful Home
We had a such wonderful stay. The cabin was clean, well maintained and it was fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, paper towels, toiletries and even laundry detergent. It was nicely decorated and the beds were very comfortable. Plenty of sleeping space for us, parents and grandkids. The appliances are full size. My husband launched the boat from The boat ramp at Huxley Bay Marina, left the truck and trailer there and tied the boat at the dock on the property. The boat ramp was so close to the property. It was so convenient. We spent most of our time outside on in the screened in patio area. We would stay here again and recommend it.

Quiet Lake House
This is the place to go if you want quiet days and cozy nights. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time here. It was just as the pictures showed and then some. The host provided so many additional necessities you forget about when going on vacation to a lake house. We fished, kayaked, tubed the lake without any issues or crowds. I would definitely recommend this place.

Peace and quiet, relaxation at its best!
My family is from south TX and needed a place for 8-10 adults to share that offered peace and quiet with a place to gather and relax before attending a wedding. That’s what we found at the Heart of Huxley Bay. The home is beautiful. Very clean. Easy sign in and sign out. Comfortable beds with clean and soft linens and pillows. Towels smelt freshly washed. Best water pressure for showers. The extras offered like fishing equipment and kayaking equipment made it all worth it for the family. We hosted the groom and groomsmen the day of the wedding for a place to wind down before the ceremony. They played darts and ate lunch and had a great time. Communication with the landlord was top notch. We had a few questions and Josh was immediately available. We plan to come back soon. Strongly recommend this lake house.

Perfect Memorial Day Weekend at the Lake with Dogs and Boat!
This house was perfect for our family-sons, spouses, granddogs and our boat. We launched across the bay which was so easy. The weather allowed us to eat every meal outside on the picnic table, the fire pit was great for hot dogs and somemores, the screened porch was a comfy spot to hang out and throw darts....it was a wonderful lake weekend......even caught some Sac O Lait and had a fish fry. Josh was prompt in answering questions and was an accommodating host! Highly recommend!

Easter getaway
Absolutely wonderful. The house was clean and very roomy, we were 10 and everyone was comfortable. The yard was well kept grass was cut and clean, the fire pit was a plus for us, made our evenings enjoyable sitting around the fire. We all had an awesome time, only complaint I have is trash bins outside were full of trash from previous renter. Not a big deal, just some don't follow directions. But, looking forward to booking again in the future. Highly recommend this rental for a great getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Josh Corey

Host profile image
Hello! We are Josh and Laurie and we’re thrilled that you’ve chosen the Heart of Huxley Bay as your vacation destination. We purchased this property in the fall of 2020 as a pandemic escape. After having spent weeks at a time here, enjoying the solitude, the beautiful scenery, the wildlife, and all the wonder of the natural world on an “up close and personal” basis, we decided that we’d like to share this experience with others.
A couple of our great loves are (not surprisingly) travel, and the outdoors. We also enjoy hunting, fishing, and skiing on both the water and the land!
Welcome to Heart of Huxley Bay. We’re glad you’re here.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for an escape from the pandemic shutdown and found this amazing property.

What makes this property unique

When you need a break from the city or your hectic schedule, the Heart of Huxley Bay is the place to go. All the bases are covered here. Take a swim, cast a line, or jump in your boat, or one of two brand-new kayaks from the private pier. Bring your toys! We have a large boat/RV carport with power hookups to keep them protected. Relax around the firepit - firewood included! If you must, work at the dedicated workstation. And then shoot some darts in the screened living room. The pups are welcome and even have a fenced run.
