Quick family getaway

Our second stay at this lake house. Nice place to get away and spend time as a family. Lake is much lower than our 2021 visit but still had a great time. Just had a little walk down to the lake. Played games, went kayaking and took a hike at a local state park.

Great time at the property

The house was in great shape, all appliances worked fine and were reasonably new. Short walk to the lake and even caught a few fish from the bank. There were a few wasp nests but spray was left in the kitchen. Overall great place to relax for a week!

A quiet getaway just with family

We were looking for a quiet place to readjust our family as one of our older children has recently departed for college. We took our 2 teenage boys to this cute, quiet, cottage on the water and really had fun bonding as a family of four. The furnishings are perfect, and the games/activities were on target. The sunsets are priceless. We laughed, rested, slept in, and ventured out - it was exactly as we had hoped. No place is perfect and there were a few little hiccups but nothing significant. We would highly recommend this if you are looking for a nice family time away from the hustle and bustle.

Nice Weekend Getaway

The house was clean and the decor and floorplan were perfect. Beds were cozy and comfy. Central air worked perfectly. Tons of games for our family to play with. The lake was low due to the drought, but my teenage sons figured out a way to walk down to the water where they kayaked and swam. The view of the lake from the house was still beautiful with boaters, jet skiers and kayakers. Beautiful and plentiful birds all around, along with deer. We saw a spotted fawn sitting under the tree by the hammock. Good homebase. We swam at Inks Lake State Park and went to Longhorn Cavern which are nearby. Property customer service was excellent with questions.

Love the Lakefront Life

Stay away - you’ll hate this place. (Kidding! Just don’t book it when we want it again!) The house is so warm and comfortable - my family already thinks of it as our “home away from home”, and we’ve only stayed there twice. Amazing location - kayaking in the early morning and the Milky Way at night. It’s not perfect. Nothing is. But it’s perfect for us.

Great home

We really enjoyed the kayaks and being able to go out on the water after our spartan race! Beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean!

Family vacation

What a great house and location. This was a short family trip before school starts back up. It was clean and right on the water. We made great use of the kayaks and enjoyed playing some of the board games. We even caught a few fish off the bank.

Great vacation rental

This was a nice house located in a quaint neighborhood with beautiful scenery and deer roaming through the lot. Would update fishing poles as they were a bit neglected. Would highly recommend for a family to get a way at a nice large lake.

Looks like a great place

We were not able to make it to the property bc my grandfather passed away. The property managers would not allow me to reschedule bc of their cancellation policy. Looks like a great place. We might try to book again but I would only book this as a last minute trip bc of this experience.
