About this property

Charming Cabin 300 Yards from Free Boat Launch & Swimming Area

Get away from it all at this open floor plan, newly remodeled cabin. Set on nearly an acre of towering pines, this charming A-frame has new appliances, flooring, furniture and electronics.

Lounge on the large wrap-around deck, relax next to one of the two fire pits, or play in the spacious back yard. There is a tetherball set up in the back yard and plenty of room for you to bring your outdoor games.

Enjoy world class fishing by launching your boat or fishing from shore at the neighborhood ramp just 300 yards down the road (also a great place for swimming!). This house also has covered boat parking. Your home away from home is located just minutes from Jackson Hill Marina and Cassels-Boykin Park.

Weather not cooperating for outdoor adventures? No problem! Grab a book from our library and curl up in the charming book nook, challenge your fellow guests to a board/card game, surf the web, or be a couch potato and watch your favorite shows and movies on the 55" Roku 4K HDTV with connected Blu-Ray player.

The sleeping arrangements are cozy and comfortable with a queen Murphy bed, twin bed in the book nook, and a queen sleeper sofa downstairs. In the vaulted ceiling upstairs there are two twin beds in one bedroom and a full sized bed in the other bedroom. For the more adventuresome guests there is plenty of room to pitch tents in the backyard near a fire pit.

The remodeled kitchen has a well stocked pantry to ensure you have some memorable meals right from the start. Throw some burgers on the gas grill or cook campfire style
on one of the two fire pits. The upstairs, accessible via the outdoor deck, has a mini-fridge and microwave for convenience. The upstairs also has a screened in porch with a game table and a tree-house like atmosphere.

Disliked: Amenities
The hosts are pleasant, the property is nice, but the listing is misleading. This is a split level property. That means that four of my family members that were in the upstairs sleeping area had only access to a half bathroom and the would have to come back outside to the outside stairwell to access the full bath down stairs to shower. Not to mention the full kitchen as well. Nowhere in the listing does it say it’s a split level home and there is no access to both from inside the house. It just inconvenienced my family greatly considering it was cold during my visit. Also, must note that the surrounding neighbor has what appears to be a junk yard in the front lawn. Just to be honest here, the home was nice, but you have to be more clear and concise in your listing. The hosts were nice, the house was clean enough, and it was peaceful enough to see a deer. I’d give it 3 out 5 stars.

July 4th 2024

We had a great time. Property is well kept and easy to get to, have plenty of room for your boat and even an awning to put it under. Bedrooms were upstairs and we have an older dog that can't make it up them so we slept downstairs on the foldout couch and owner ensured we had all linens for the fold out. I will definitely stay again.

Fun Stay

It was wonderful! We had our two granddaughters with us,ages 11 and 8, they could stay upstairs with all their stuff and have fun. They loved it. The lake with a beach is pretty close. No problem. The hosts are very accommodating. You can’t go wrong with this place!

Great little cabin

Overall the cabin was great. We only had 2 people but the cabin would easily sleep 6. The only downside is the location marker and pictures misrepresent how close to the water the cabin is. It is about an extra 200 yards from the water and the property is fully land locked.

Great getaway

The property is wonderful. Quiet, small yet very roomy. Only drawback is, there's no stairs to the upstairs inside. You have to access the upstairs rooms from outside. Still, I'd stay here again.

Lake house

The house definitely lacks privacy. There were no blinds or curtains in the kitchen at all and the curtains that are in the living room were very see through. It made my wife quite uncomfortable. The upstairs screened in room did not have a screen door. For whatever reason we both thought that there were inside stairs going upstairs to the other bedrooms. The boat parking area was very nice, but backing down the driveway to it was very tight. There was no place to hang up clothes either.

Great Getaway

We stayed a few days here to do a little hiking and play some board games. The neighborhood was great, very quiet and a nice walk down to the dock. There was a little beach at the dock our dogs could walk into to get their paws wet. The A-frame was very nice, well appropriated with plenty of cooking items, TP, and towels. The air conditioning on both floors were kicking, no way you'd get hot here. Also a nice porch you could sit on under a fan, grill, or just chill.

Guys fishing getaway

Had a great getaway fishing weekend with the guys. Nice place to stay that is located ~5min from Jackson Hill marina. There is a community boat ramp but since the lake was 5-6 low, it wasn’t deep enough to launch our boat. The driveway setup does require expert level if you are backing in a 22’ center console, but has a really nice carport to park it under.

Charming Nature Getaway

We just loved our stay at The Angler! Great location surrounded by the tall Texas pines close to the lake. We enjoyed a walk down to the boat ramp to toast the sunset, a nice fire in the fire pit and playing games around the table. The kitchen was well equipped and even had a great set of chef’s knives. All the beds and bedding were new and super comfortable! The pillows were full and firm. All in all a fantastic stay. We’d definitely return!
