Lovely house and property. This may have been the most stocked house we have rented. If you forgot something it was probably there if you looked around. We enjoyed the fishing off the dock and the quick trips to the many small towns surrounding the property. Host was gracious and the place was dog friendly.
The lake house on the northern end of Lake Livingston is the perfect spot to relax, reflect, and reset from the everyday grind. The ambiance and the setting are great and Jen has done a fantastic job of making sure everything you would need is available and accessible to the guests. It was definitely hard to leave but comforting to know we have a place to come back to. Thanks for everything
Very well maintained. Process was as simple as it gets. Had a great time. Fishing was amazing as well. Would love to stay again sometime. Suggest staying three nights two nights isnt long enough.. just a few pics we caught a lot more than just these
Very clean quiet place on the water. Well outfitted with cooking materials and lots of extras. The view is fantastic hot tub is wonderful. Owners provided lots of great touches with games, Bluetooth speakers and lots of other extras. We will stay again.
My husband and I booked this home for a valentines getaway. We planned to be gone for a few days, so we wanted a place that had lots to do. This Vrbo checked all our boxes and then some!! The hot tub was amazing. The kayaks were super fun! And the fire table on the doc was so cozy!we had a fantastic time and we would definitely come here again! This Vrbo was so warm and inviting!
Great place to spend time outdoors. Loved the dock area and had fun in the kayaks. Hooked an alligator far and caught some catfish too. The owners were fast to respond and very easy to deal with. Would recommend and stay again. Thank you!
This is a wonderful retreat! Property is gorgeous and just as it is pictured. Host is so helpful and everything was perfect for our stay. We loved seeing all the birds and turtles out in the lake. Hot tub was so relaxing and so many stars! I can’t say enough about what a beautiful rental this is - we’ll stay here again if we’re in this area.
A perfect place to stay with all of the amenieties that you will need
We have been staying in VRBO's since 2003 and this is one of the top 3!!. Jen, the host, is excellent. We were there for 10 days, so it was our "home" and not just a place where we slept. It was just like home from home. The kitchen facilities were excellent, everything was there that you needed. The surrounding area was quiet and peaceful with wonderful lake views from the living area. We had a couple of minor issues and they were solved very quickly and efficiently.
The lakehouse was perfect, clean, organized and cozy. The view was fantastic. Watched sunrise and sunset from the boat house as all the water fowl flew to nesting and feeding grounds. The hot tub in the evening was the perfect finish to a relaxing day. The owner was freindly and helpful.
We were blown away. Every supply you could need and only a few miles from the nearest town. The house was perfect and the lake was beautiful. The owners made the process simple and were easy to work with. The amenities were first class, and the sunrise was absolutely beautiful every morning. Do yourself a favor and check out this place!
We were there to relax, recharge, reset and still have fun. We could not have been in a better place. Everything was clean, organized, easy to operate, the beds were so comfortable, the hot tub is large and water temperature was perfect, the lounging area at the boat house was probably our favorite place and we spent a great deal of our time out there watching the water, counting turtles, watching the fish, looking for birds, and enjoying the squirrel clenching to the tree and stretching out completely to rob the feed out of the bird feeder. We could not have found a better place for our girls weekend!!
If you’re looking for a cozy, beautiful place to relax and enjoy the lake, this is the place!! It had everything we needed, including 4th of July decor, plates, napkins and cups! We only brought our own food and drinks! The beds were super comfy, and there were plenty of extra blankets for cuddling up on the coach after a long day of fishing. We did bring our own rods, but thankfully they had extra ones already there since one of our broke! The kids caught lots of catfish and a few turtles! They also enjoyed canoeing over to Goat Island and jumping off the pier to take a swim! The host, Jenn, was amazing and made sure we were well informed about staying there and the local town. We highly recommended staying here if you’re wanting to experience lake life living!!
Beautiful, clean lake house with wonderful amenities, views!!! The owner knew we had dogs coming with us and had a cute bag of treats upon arrival. This host goes above and beyond any property we’ve ever stayed at. They provided basically a full house service. Amazing. The house and dock were so peaceful. Highly recommend!

Why they chose this property
This property has been in the family for years. We have used it as a guest house for our friends and families. They have always commented on how relaxing it is at the lake and fun in the summer. Many have always told us it would be a perfect short-term rental and I guess we finally listened. It has already been upgraded and we plan to use all the proceeds to continue the upgrades to the property. So ... If you book one year, it will likely have more features on your next visit.
What makes this property unique
This is a very popular part of the lake because of the beaches at Goat Island and the open water for water sports. There is also very good fishing right off the dock and in this general area.
