About this property
Relax and Reconnect at Heron's Nest
Reconnect with your family, your partner, or old friends at this beautiful, quiet lakefront house. Create memories that will last a lifetime.
Just look at that sunroom, with a fantastic view of Sandy Creek Cove. Enjoy several seating areas in the sunroom, the deck, the living room, or the patio below. Go up six steps in this split level home and you will find the dining table and well-stocked kitchen, or use the charcoal grill downstairs on the patio.
Great primary bedroom suite (shower plus Jacuzzi tub) and second bedroom are upstairs. Downstairs is the third bedroom with a queen size bed and a great couch to sleep on, if needed. NOTE that the downstairs has a separate entrance and, I’m afraid, NO BATHROOM. Add to that the pull-out couch in the living room and you have four queen size beds for your group.
Relax outside in the hammock, fish, swim, or gather round the fire ring. Two kayaks are available for your use.
Within 20 minutes are restaurants, golf courses, bowling, a casino, and Lake Livingston State Park (details at house). Or catch your dinner right off the dock - it seems that the catfish are always biting. Great sunsets and a bird nesting ground nearby.
You have access to all that Heron's Nest has to offer, inside and out. Due to HOA restrictions, we can only have a maximum of 8 people.
Included in your rental:
*Well equipped kitchen: plates, bowls, glasses, pots/pans, mixing/serving bowls, utensils, basic spices & condiments, coffee maker (Kuerig and Mr. Coffee) and coffee, waffle maker, and of course a blender!
*Charcoal grill, fire pit, hammock, and two kayaks.
*WIFI throughout the house, Netflix, DVD/VCR player.
*Lots of board games and frisbees for the back yard
*Towels and all bedding
*Hair Dryer
*Washer and dryer
You should bring:
*Water toys and fishing gear (and license)
*Lawn chairs if you plan to use the campfire
*Food & drinks
*Personal toiletries
*Camera and binoculars
*’beach’ towels if you plan to swim
The House is not specifically child-proofed and the water is, of course, a hazard. Please supervise children carefully.
Easy parking for four cars on premises. Absolutely no parking on street, per HOA rules. Not suitable for large gatherings. Three night minimum on holiday weekends. Early check-in or late checkout MIGHT be available for a $50.00 fee.

About the host
Hosted by Susan Koontz & Steve Smith

Steve and Susan are each seventh-generation Texans. We live in Houston and plan to move to this house when we retire - when we are not volunteering in national parks. We will always treat our guests as we would want to be treated.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this beautiful house, and are thrilled to be able to own a lakefront home.
What makes this property unique
I love to eat in the sunroom, there is a large nesting ground for water birds nearby, and they are very active in the morning and evening. And the sunsets are breathtaking.
