Quick weekend getaway
Cozy lake cabin loaded with everything one needs for the stay. Grocery stores and convenience stores nearby. Loved the views. Would have loved to use the lakeview room but it faces neighbors windows and no privacy (curtains/blinds to the side). Will be back!

Beautiful Serene Setting
The property was great. It has a spectacular view of the crystal clear lake. Everything was good. Nostalgic home. I actually contacted owner. Left Property Manager a message, she never returned my call. However, the owner responded almost immediately when I texted him. Very accommodating.

I cannot say enough great things about this property. It’s a hidden gem. Our 7 year old didn’t ask about electronics the whole weekend, she had so much fun! My family cannot wait to go back.

Relaxing near the lake
Communication with from the property owner was excellent from booking to checkout. The property is well maintained and clean. This is a very nice little house with lake access. One of the bedroom was custom built on the patio with view of the lake and is accessible from the patio sliding doors. A paddle boat was provided and we enjoyed a trip on the lake, especially the kids! If you like hikes, Big Thicket National Preserve is a short drive from there. When booking, we had not realized there was no dishwasher in the kitchen, but that was fine for a few days. Everything was provided to make us comfortable during our stay. We will book again next time we are in the area!

Serene Lake Spot
The backyard facing the lake makes the property special. The yard has plenty of shade and was comfortable and relaxing even in August. We kayaked and floated on rafts in the lake. It was a lovely lake weekend with family.

Even better than the pictures
We were looking for a cottage experience to get out of the city with two little ones and this place was perfection. An easy drive from Houston, spotless ( and super comfy beds!) and loads of attention to detail. We spent our days fishing and swimming and the kids could jump off the dock into the lake. Roasted marshmallows by the fire at night. We’ve stayed at a lot of properties and we were 100% happy with our stay here. We hope to get back again soon! Thanks Bill for sharing your beautiful property with families like ours who need a quiet and nature filled break from it all . And for being so easy to contact!
