Stunning Lakefront Getaway with Boat Slip
Escape to the tranquility of Lake Livingston at The Gathering Place & Guest House, a spacious 7-bedroom retreat nestled on the north side of the lake. Enjoy breathtaking views, private fishing pier, boat dock, and a cozy fire pit – the perfect setting for unforgettable family gatherings or peaceful getaways.
Location: Lake Livingston, Texas (North side of the lake)
Lake Access: Lakefront with a private pier and boat dock. Guests can swim in the water at their own risk 3-4ft deep
WIFI: Free high-speed WIFI is available throughout the home.
Cable: We provide Roku with access to Sling TV for live television channels. Guests are welcome to log into their own Amazon Prime, Netflix, or other streaming service apps as well.
Pet Policy: Pets are not allowed.
Large Groups: We love hosting church groups and large family gatherings, however groups over the size of 16 guests must be approved prior to booking.
Parking: There is room for one car in the driveway in front of the main house, plus 6 additional cars outside the guest house in the driveway.
Party Policy: No parties are allowed at our home. Please look elsewhere if that is the intent of your trip.
Age Requirement: Guests must be 24+ to book.
This unique, hilltop home unfolds in a surprising two-story layout. Expansive windows on both levels showcase the panoramic lake views, bathing the open-concept living space in warm, natural light. Here, family and friends gather effortlessly in the spacious living area, sharing stories and laughter. The chef in your group will delight in the well-equipped kitchen, complete with ample counter space, double ovens, and a walk-in pantry – the perfect canvas for creating culinary masterpieces.
On this level, three inviting bedrooms await, each offering a peaceful space after a day of lakeside fun. The king suite provides a luxurious escape, while the additional king bedroom with a twin bed offers flexibility for families or groups. A third queen bedroom ensures everyone finds their perfect sleep sanctuary. An patio on this level provides a second outdoor space to soak in the surrounding beauty.
The lower level is an area for both fun and relaxation. A lively bunk room, complete with two full-over-full bunks, air hockey, an arcade game, and a flat-screen TV, guarantees endless entertainment for kids and kids-at-heart. The home’s fifth bedroom, also located on the lower level, offers a queen bed and two twins, providing additional flexibility for sleeping arrangements. This level also features direct access to the backyard and a private patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
The charming guest house, tucked away from the main residence, provides an oasis of privacy. Two bedrooms, one with a king and the other with a queen and a full-over-full bunk bed, comfortably accommodate additional guests. Its own open-concept living area invites relaxation and quiet moments
Outdoors, adventure beckons. Cast a line off the private fishing pier, launch your boat from the dock for a day of lake exploration, or simply bask in the sun's warmth. As evening descends, the fire pit becomes a focal point for shared stories and roasted marshmallows under a starry Texas sky.
The Gathering Place & Guest House isn't just a vacation rental – it's where cherished memories are crafted, where laughter mingles with the gentle symphony of the lake, and where the beauty of Lake Livingston creates a backdrop for unforgettable moments.
