Cozy Cottage

The Cottage was small and cozy. Was not to thrilled on location. Hoping for a closer swim area. Great for fishing, jetski and boating though. Host very responsive. The overall stay was good.

Great area

There are several cottages on this property with a huge one or 2 acre backyard. You walk to the waterfront and you can stay there all day long, which is what we did.

Excellent choice

This place was just what we were looking for for a family trip. We fished, paddleboarding was a challenge with all the boats and jet skis but I love the challenge. Our teen boys had a great time. Thank

Great little cottage

The place was exactly as expected. The yard was magnificent with giant trees and plenty of shade and ample room. Hopefully they get the damn repaired soon so the lake will be up to the standard level.

Great stay

We had a great time staying here. I was disappointed that the floating dock is not there. To get to the water there is a path with a small area. We didn't go down to the lake while we were there, however we had a great time and it is beautiful!

DO NOT book this

If only I had gone to book this 2 days later than I did, I would have seen the review from someone who shares the exact discontent! The pictures are NOT what is there. There is no beautiful waterfront like this person advertises. It is overgrown and nasty. We had intentions of being in or near the water the entire time because ITS JULY IN TEXAS!! It was hot and miserable. The cabin is dirty, it smells, and it DOES NOT SLEEP 8. The extremely uncomfortable futon downstairs sleeps one. I messaged the property manager the minute we got there. She conveniently didn’t respond until we were gone saying how sorry she was. When I asked her how she would make it right…nothing. Spend your money somewhere else. A hotel would have been better. If I could post the pictures I took as proof for my credit card dispute, I would.

Lies Lies and oh my…MORE LIES

No water access without walking through “a jungle”. No floating dock! No path to the water. Pictures were lies and when I messaged the owner no response. There is no futon so it will not occupy 8 people. We only have 6 guest but one was a grown male who was going to sleep on the futon to allows the young female adults to sleep upstairs. THIS WAS AN ISSUE!! Called Vrbo to figure what we could do. We were offered to go to a hotel which wasn’t convenient because one of our guest flew in and our vehicles were packed to the rim. The. They offered me $120 but couldn’t get the system to process it so that was a no go. Our river trip turned into a trip from hell quick! Flys were so horrible. I’ve never seen them like that anywhere. They weren’t that way anywhere else we went. These ppl should be ashamed of what they are charging!!

Ok experience

The cabin was a neat change of scenery and we got to see some deer on the property. The grounds are clean and easy to get in and out of but one of the reasons we choose this spot was to let the kids fish off the pier that wasn’t there. The pictures show a new pier and we didn’t find one anywhere. They had to fish off the bank which was about 10 feet wide.

Photos dont do justice

Only sleeps 6 not 8. The couch was not available to sleep on. Pay is too high for quality of place. A.C was horrible, hardly worked. Followed instructions but everything felt like it was going to fall apart any minute. Needs a face lift and updated everything. The dock to swim was the best part. Not worth the price. Paint chips and rotten wood all around the place.

Needs some tlc

Overall the cottage was ok i will not say i would rent this cottage again it really needs alot of tlc for the price being charged. Ended up washing the caked on dryed up spoons and forks in the kitchen and the sheets and blankets should probably not have stains either. The pictures are definitely deceiving. No tv in the guest room like pictured and the cable hardly worked oh and also killed a few roaches that we saw in the refrigerator.

Escape for the weekend

Great time with family and friends. The out side I feel is what made the property. The inside was not the greatest but for a short weekend trip, it was completely fine. I would recommend for a weekend getaway.

Enjoyable get-away for the family. I appreciated the view, cozy beds, wi-fi and laundry facility. The kids thought the loft was fun and enjoyed the two kitties that would visit. The meat market up around the corner is great. The unit, deck and property could use some TLC.

Not as it seems

So first I knew going that the lake was gone because of the damn breaking but the pictures show water a lot closer than what it actually is and the pathway leading to the water is overgrown and trashy. The property itself is beautiful. The cabin not so much. The place was dirty! Knives in the drawers with food still on them. I didn’t want to sit on the couch because of the caked on dirt on the arms. The walls are cracking. The electricity stopped working on the last night in the bedroom. This could be a great place with some updates to the furniture and curtains but it was not worth the money at all. We stayed outside most of the time because the cabin felt gross.

Hidden Danger

Living quarters had roaches everywhere, the water and lower grounds were totally different from the photos on the website , the water was disgusting , stagnant with old trash all around the pier and the water was nasty ,for anyone to swim or boat or even fish in , and the lower grounds were over grown and not kept up with . looked real trashy. .

Anniversary getaway

the property was great the cabins were spacious. We truly enjoyed our stay. The only thing we had issues with was wanting to fish off the dock while the other 2 cabins wanting to swim. But we put the rods away and shared the dock an fished late at night.
