Nice place if you’re looking for simplicity and comfort. Great location. Semi-isolated. WiFi and phone service was an issue but every thing else was just what we were looking for.

Peaceful waterfront house

Size was just right for 2 elderly parents and family of 4. We loved being right on the water. Slope down to the water was tricky for my father but stairs and railing were a plus! Read reviews regarding having issues with grass burrs; yes they're everywhere but it's nothing new to us. Kids asked to stray here again and probably would without our older parents.

Great place on the Lake!

We loved this place! I especially loved the granite uplifts on the property, very grounding! We stayed and played outside a lot. It was so private. When we were inside we loved the recliners in front of the TV, it was perfect for football watching! I would definitely return!

Relaxing family vacay

This was a perfect spot for our family of 5 and our dog! Our children enjoyed sp ending time swimming, fishing and kayaking while also having some of their usual creature comforts like WiFi. Mom and Dad were able to relax and enjoy spending quality family time. The backyard was fenced in which was great for our dog as well. The amenities included all the comforts of home.

Quiet Area

My wife and I enjoyed the peace and quiet of this property. It’s up on a hill and has access to the Colorado River. We could walk down the hill to the pier and fish. Several times there were some deer that came into the yard. We could even hear birds singing. It has a nice big open area to watch tv and relax. One of the bathrooms has a great walk-in glass shower. Overall our stay was pleasant and relaxing.
