Great to sit around the fire pit and relax! Outdoor lighting, picnic table.
Shaded in the late afternoon. Great views. Just steps from the private beach.

About this property

Waterfront Cottage With Your Own Personal Sandy Beach and Expansive Lake View

This two-story cabin is situated on three grassy lots, in a quiet neighborhood, just a few feet from a sandy beach. The lake is shallow off the beach and is a perfect place for children to play. There just aren't many places on the lake where you can enjoy a personal sandy beach with easy access to the water.

When you enter our home, you'll see that the main floor has a fully outfitted kitchen, laundry room with washer & dryer, full bath, and a living area with a 46" TV. This downstairs area also offers a comfortable sitting area with a queen sofa bed.

The upstairs is an open plan with two queen beds, a bathroom (with shower), and a sitting area with a 55" TV. It opens onto a balcony overlooking the beach and lake; a perfect spot to have a morning cup of coffee and watch the wildlife.

Both TVs have Roku which lets you access streaming service such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and more (requires your own login). The cabin offers fiber WiFi, at no extra charge.

The cabin faces east, which means you can see beautiful sunrises and enjoy mostly shaded afternoons. Our wonderful shade trees help you stay cool on those summer afternoons.

Outside there is a covered porch and a large deck that is shaded most of the day, a hammock, gas grill (we provide the propane), a fire pit, and large, fenced yard. There are plenty of seating options to help you enjoy your stay. Also, there are two kayaks and a pedal boat for guests to use with no additional fee (we have a few life vests, but feel free to bring your own).

While the kitchen is great for cooking, there are also a number of restaurants within a short drive. There is a large grocery store and a few restaurants just five minutes away in Onalaska. Our home is located about midway between Hunstville and Livingston, both towns noted for numerous antique shops and great restaurants.

We do our best to clean and maintain the beach. However, the Trinity River brings a lot of debris into the lake and some of that debris can wash up on our beach, especially a few days after a storm up north. We appreciate your understanding.

Our favorite time is reclining in the peaceful shade, just a few steps from the beach, looking out over the lake and watching the many types of birds. We hope you will come visit and experience that joy for yourself.

If you don't want to take my word for it, please check out the reviews. Lots of folks have experienced this peaceful, shady, relaxing waterfront cottage. Thanks for considering a visit!

Always a good time

This is our second year staying here and it did not disappoint. We love the cottage and we spent most of our days in the lake using the kayaks and paddle boat that was provided. Even though there were large logs on the beach it still made a great view in the evening and in the morning.we plan to visit again soon.

This cabin checked off all of our needs for our getaway. Very functional and just enough space for our 5 that stayed. Be mindful of the wildlife and just remember that mother nature has her own way of reminding you that you're not in the city anymore lol. Overall this was exactly what we needed and the owners were very helpful with all my questions and concerns. We will most definitely be visiting here again.

Sister trip

If you are looking for a place of peace/quiet and just to recharge your battery - this place is perfect! It sits just off the lake and the private little beach in front is perfect. We enjoy the morning on the deck watching the sunrise, birds, drinking coffee and visiting. Property is under new ownership but nothing has changed from previous owner - Kevin was a great host and the house is perfect. My sister and I have stayed here before and will definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Bade

Host profile image
We're so happy you are considering staying at our lake cabin. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do, and we will do whatever we can to make your stay as relaxing and restful as possible.

Why they chose this property

This was a special place that we actually first enjoyed as a renter! We looked all over the lake but never found as sweet and charming a place as this one. We had such a wonderful time on our first stay, and now we're blessed to be able to share it with others and attempt to show the same generous hospitality that we experienced.

What makes this property unique

We've seen lots of lake properties, but this one is just so peaceful. The private, sandy beach where kids and grandkids can just play in the sand and the water is just unmatched. Plus, the sitting and beach areas are usually in the shade, which is just a bonus for us. We love the summer, but our Texas afternoons can be brutally hot. Come beat the heat at this lakeside cabin!
