Great 4th!

Despite terrible winds and rough rough waters from the flooding storms in central Texas, this house provided a great holiday weekend with everything we needed to in vote Family in for lunch on the 4th and enjoy watching the beautiful fireworks around the lake. Will definitely be back!

You will not be dissaopointed

We had our adult children and two grandkids over Memorial Day weekend. House was probably the best furnished that we have stayed in. Home is recently renovated and very spacious. Only room for 4 cars in driveway, so plan your vehicles / boat out (we did not, lol). We’ll look for this house next time!

We thought it was ok from drive-up appeal, but when we opened the door to see the beautiful view of the Lake from the front door. The inside so so nice with all luxury appliances and very clean

Family Getaway

So many extras. We never looked for one thing that we did not find. Wonderful home, with so many fun activities inside and out! We had 6 adults: mom, dad, adult kids and their new spouses (both our kids got married recently). The back porch was where we hung out the most. It was clean and the furniture was comfortable. We all slept well. The beds were comfortable. We took turns cooking in the amazing kitchen. We each left full, exhausted, sun burned and so happy to have spent some amazing quality time with each other. So very thankful for such a special time with our growing family!
