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!

Quiet Repose

The house felt very welcoming. With yhe sounds of the waves lapping the shore and the herons to watch it was relaxing and refreshing. We look for places to escape and this provided a wonderful site to do that. We even saw a bald eagle fly by the house. fron

This was our second stay at this location. Its so peaceful. The neighbors are quiet and respectful. The water was warm but very calm and my children enjoyed the peddle boats and kayaks. The lake house had everything we needed. We love it here and will be back again.

Great Place

We had a wonderful stay. Jonathan worked hard to get the beach ready after so many storms washing huge trees and debris up on shore. The beach is the perfect spot to get in the water. It’s very gradual when walking out. Takes a bit for it to get deep which is ideal if you have kids. Very sandy bottom all the way out. The house was clean and perfect. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely come back.

Great place to relax

We enjoyed this nice home on our way across the US. Sunrises were beautiful and the privacy the home offered was appreciated. Fun to watch the different birds in the lake catching their dinner and breakfast. Was nice to sit on the porch and the deck taking in the views.

Just what we needed

My wife and I were looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway for our anniversary. John and Cathy's cabin provided exactly that. Beautiful sunrises, a relaxing upper deck and a wonderful fire pit provided the perfect setting. The cabin feels so very welcoming and is extremely comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Amazing Spring Break Getaway

Perfect trip for our family. My husband and two tweens enjoyed this private beach and house. The beach is really the only beach in the little cove. It has access to a little canal where we were able to catch a couple of fish. The house is clean and ready for guest. You just need to bring food and soap. We were sad because we forgot our hotdog/marshmallow sticks, but this house was equipped and had some. The yard is big for the kids to run around but we stayed at the beach. The town it is located in is small, but plenty of little stores to get last minute items. My kids are usually stuck on their phones, but we spent most of the time outside and in the sun. The house does have a little living room upstairs which was nice at night when we wanted to separate from the kids. Has washer and dryer to keep everything clean and ready. Perfect trip. We will be back soon.

Great Getaway

This is our second stay at this property and we lpve coming here. The lake was very low this go round but that is no fault of the owner. Texas heat and no rain for months will do that. But with the water level low, we got to explore and look at rocks. The place is very clean and it's quiet. No rowdy neighboors or anything like that. We will come again. Thank you!

About the host

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!
