About this property

“Lake Life” - Boat ramp here

Three bedrooms, two bedrooms with king beds with My Pillow® "Washable" pillows and My Pillow® Giza cotton sheets, one bedroom with two queens. One bathroom, laundry room, recliner and double reclining couch.
Great cozy spot perfect for a quiet get away and relaxing. If you enjoy sitting on the porch drinking coffee while the sun is coming up, with a view of the water, or watching the moon rise with a beer and or a glass of wine, this is a place for you.
Very few areas on Sam Rayburn lake have a public boat ramp and this is one of them. (We consider it private since it's in our subdivision and very few know about it.)
House sits on one lot with two additional empty lots, so there is plenty of room to spread out.
Most all the property in the subdivision are weekend homes with many being in their families for many years, so most are very proud of what they have. If you like telling fish stories, throwing washers, playing 42 and just mingling with the neighbors, we believe you'll enjoy this area.

Grocery stores are about 10 miles away East or West in Broaddus and Pineland, with Powell Park about the same distance South. Lufkin and Jasper are both about 45 minutes away.
Liquor is about 25 miles away, so if that's your thing, plan appropriately.

We stayed at Lake Life with our family for Mother’s Day weekend and loved our family time together at the best little spot. The house is perfect for a getaway! It’s fully stocked with everything you could need. It was very clean and the owner is so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be adding it to our regular places to stay on the lake and we can’t wait to book again! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

This cabin was super cute and well stocked with necessities needed in the kitchen. My only wish was that it was a little bit closer to the reservoir, less stumps down at that part of the lake and closer to gas stations and general store.

If I could give a higher rating I would, this by far was the best experience away from home. Ian is an excellent host is willing to do anything that you might need, however he and his wife have everything so organized and ready to go nothing else is needed. Their there if you need them but they respect your privacy unless you need them, which we didn't because of the great condition of the property and cottage. Just excellent can't say enough and highly recommend this vacation property, most definitely will be renting again. Thanks Ian

Great place near fishing

We stayed here for my son’s high school fishing tournament. The location was perfect, the boat ramp was really nice, the availability of a boat shed with electricity was nice for late evening preparations for the tournament. The cabin was really nice, and the host was very accommodating and helpful throughout the stay. We would love to stay here again!

Loved this cozy Cabin

This was a perfect stay! The house literally had everything we needed right down to wood so we could enjoy an outside fire. The boat ramp was super close for our early morning launch for the Bass tournament. The hosts were so kind and friendly. Would stay here over and over again!

Great place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the lake house. The owner Ian lives across the street and is super friendly and will help with any questions you may have. The house was really clean and comfortable. It is just around the corner from a neighborhood boat ramp so it made it really nice and convenient for a fisherman like myself. We will try to stay there again for sure.

Amazing!!

I think this rental is one we enjoyed more than any where else we've stayed! The home was very comfortable cozy very clean we could want for nothing! The hosts were amazing as well! It rained and turned cold on us so we didn't get to do much fishing but that was completely okay because we spent a better part of our time on the porch in the rocking chairs having coffee and just watching the birds. We will definitely be back!

Nothing but awesome!

This was my first VBRO stay , the bar was definitely set high! Communication with the owner was flawless and very efficient. The house was way more than I thought it would be and the icing was the people around the neighborhood. One lady made cookies and brought them to the kids! Will definitely be booking again here if we stay in the area or have a tournament.

Hidden gem!

I almost don’t want to leave a review because I’m afraid it’ll be harder to book in the future, and I will absolutely be staying here again! Ian is an awesome host! I’ve stayed at many VRBO properties, and he’s the best host I’ve ever encountered. The neighborhood is super quiet and safe. There is a boat ramp right there in the neighborhood. The house itself is comfortable and has plenty of space for multiple guests. Will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Ian Fellow

Host profile image
The house was originally bought as a personal weekend camp, as are most of the houses in this neighborhood. In 2017 a house became available that we were able to move into and sell our house north of Houston. This has allowed us to share our personal weekend camp with great guests.

Why they chose this property

We started renting this property in 2019 with no expectation of its success. In the first 9 months we hosted more than 50 rentals with great guests that have confirmed why we bought it in the first place.

What makes this property unique

Sit on the front porch and enjoy the view of the water. The park at the boat ramp is a local favorite for the afternoon swim and just lounge out and enjoy the sun and the neighborhood association. Launch your boat within walking distance of this property. Anchor your boat at the boat ramp, walk to the house, make a sandwich for lunch, take a nap if needed. Walk back down and head out for the evening top water hits. Upon your return, want to sit around a fire? No problem. Want to sit on the porch and watch the moon rise? It is a beautiful sight.
The two king beds both have My Pillow® "washable" pillows and My Pillow® Giza cotton sheets. We have had many compliments on how great they feel.
Feel assured that the house will be completely disinfected and properly cleaned prior to your visit.
