Great Weekend for the Family
We booked last minute for a quick getaway from the city. It was everything we needed! The property has everything an outdoorsy family needs! We fished most of the day Saturday. I taught my younger son how to use the kayak, which was a memorable experience! The sunset on the lake was magical! We will definitely consider coming back for a longer time! The dirt roads leading to the lake were a surprise, but it was worth it!
We loved our stay at the cabin! It was perfect for us. We loved hanging in the boathouse and kayaking on the lake. Very peaceful and quiet.No road noise. Cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed.

Beautiful property. Already making plans to return.
Nice & secluded. Amazing view and very relaxing, especially fishing on the dock. Recommend bringing all your food & drinks with you on day one, because once you're there, you don't want to leave.

Great setting
Wasn’t quite expecting such a long drive on dirt roads, but the drive was worth it! Cute place with great views! Would definitely stay again!
My boys and I had a great time at this lakeside cabin over Thanksgiving. It was very restful and beautiful. The sunsets on the lake were incredible. Unfortunately the fish weren’t biting but we went kayaking a few times, had a couple bonfires and just enjoyed time together.

Great cottage with so many fun activities. Boathouse and pier were big hit allowing fishing and kayaking. Lots of perch & kids enjoyed.

A Great Place to Relax and Ed is a Fantastic Host!
There was a bit of a mix up on our end but Ed was so helpful and so kind in getting us straightened out!The house itself was clean and well-maintained and the property is a great spot for relaxing!The boat house in particular was a big hit with the kids with all of the windows looking out onto the water!We'll have to come back at a sunnier time so we can enjoy the kayaks!

This property was amazing!!! We had such an amazing time our 7year old did not wanna leave. The location and views were stunning. We could sit on that front porch and have our coffee every morning and never get tired of the view. Can’t wait to book again in a few months!!!!

Everything about our stay was perfect!
The house and the grounds are better than described and the communication with the host couldn’t be easier. An ideal location for a meet in the middle rendezvous between Houston and Dallas.

The house and property were very nice! It was very quiet and peaceful out there. The house was clean and well maintained. It was really nice being able to have kayaks to use also!

From the owner: "I agree. In an average year, the road is maintained once a week, which usually helps a lot. However, with all the consistent rain, the county has not maintained the roadway as it typically does. We have our fingers crossed that they will pave it one day, soon."

A Jewel on Houston County Lake
The spot on the lake is serene and peaceful. The house is comfortable and is stocked with all you need to enjoy your stay. This VRBO is a home away from home, perfect for relaxing, fishing off the pier, kayaking, all around “down” time with family.

From the owner: "Susan, thanks for the great review! We are glad you and your family enjoyed your stay."
This is a great home on the lake. Lots of fun activities for the kids. Comfy beds. Well stocked kitchen. Boat house is wonderful and a nice spot for morning coffee. We will be back.
We have rented numerous properties over the last 13 years, and this one may be the best yet. The house is pretty and comfortable with well-appointed kitchen. The highlight, though, is the lake view -- priceless! The boathouse is such an added treat. We plan to do this again. Thanks to our hosts for sharing.
