Our "Girls Getaway" was wonderful! The house was beautiful, comfortable and everything we hoped it would be and as the pictures displayed. We are all retired and truly enjoyed the peaceful, relaxing and laid back tranquility of the lake sitting outside early mornings with coffee and watching the birds to evenings watching the beautiful sunsets! We will certainly be back! Our hosts were great also and readily available! Thanks !Linda B.

2 night stay

The property was taken care of and clean. I did not give it a 5 star because the inside had a very musty/mildew smell.

Second Time Around!

This was our second time to rent this house and it was just as good the second time around.The only change was that we caught more fish from the dock this time!The property is exactly as described and is in very good condition.The furnishings are nice and there is plenty of room for everyone to either be in the same space or to have a little bit of space to themselves.We especially enjoyed seeing the lake from comfortable seating inside the house or from the covered back deck.

Spectacular

Everything was perfect. The house was clean and WELL stocked. Only thing that I would say is that it needs to be mention that it is a two story home. Other than that we lloved it.

A must stay if you're going to lake Livingston. This house is so peaceful and inviting. The neighborhood is well maintained as well. Our hosts are wonderful as well. The only thing I could say that I didn't like is that we had to leave.

Lake Livingston Haven

My family stayed at this property on Lake Livingston while visiting my elderly mother in Livingston. It was the perfect place for a family reunion. The property is spacious and well appointed upstairs and downstairs. The hosts were accomodating and helpful. The kitchen is huge and well lit. The bathrooms are clean and modern with beautiful showers. Beds were super comfortable. There is a sitting room upstairs with TV as well as lovely living room. The heaters kept us cozy and warm in all rooms. The garage features a ping pong table and dart board which we used avidly. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Nice enough place—too many rules

Goods: Nice location good communication with owner. Clean house and plenty of room. Bads: -If a cleaning fee is reqd I should not have to remove sheets and take them to the laundry or take out trash. VRBO fees are ridiculous to begin with, use the money and clean your own house. -The chore list trend of these rentals is a put- off. If a hotel doesn’t ask me to do something you shouldn’t. -Chore lists are not hospitable. -Left boat trailer at ramp overnight out of the way and apparently that wasn’t allowed. No posted signs. If you have rules regarding the use of a amenity those need to be clear. No better way to ruin your relaxing lake day than texts from your host freaking out over something that isn’t inconveniencing anyone or preventing another from utilizing the ramp.

Beautiful Lake House awesome view of the lake. Easy to fish on the Pier. My son had a blast fishing. He cought 3 catfish. We enjoyed sitting outside around the campfire. The kids had a great time. My brother and sister inlaw and niece had a great time. We will definitely return for another vacation for sure. Thank you for everything Michael.
