We have stayed at many places around lake Livingston and consistently come back to the Lighthouse. Its location can’t be beat and our kids love it for fishing and water fun. This was not our first stay at the Lighthouse and I am almost positive it will not be our last.

Weekend at the Lighthouse

We had an awesome stay at the lighthouse! The kids thought it was so cool! The house was wonderful, we were able to use the rope swing and boat lift. We are counting down the days until we return again!

We really enjoyed our Labor Day Weekend at this beautiful home on the lake. It was so nice to be able to keep our boat on the lift! Communication with Trisha was awesome, any questions we had she was very quick to reply. Will definitely be back!

Unbeatable Location

We have been coming to the lighthouse each summer since 2020 and it never fails to impress us. The location can’t be beat for the view, lake access and convenience. Our kids enjoyed fishing off the boathouse and taking our boat out on the water. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and hang out for the weekend. It made for a great Father’s Day weekend. We will definitely be back!

Livingston Lighthouse

Our family had a great time on vacation here. There was plenty of room for everyone. The owners have a lot of nice touches for their guests. The views of the lake from the two balconies are incredible. The house is in a gated community on a cove which is very nice. The small boat ramp in the community is great to launch jet skis. The owners are easy to work with and are easily available for any questions you may have. The neighborhood is great for families, all of the neighbors are friendly and helpful too. It’s a very peaceful and relaxing area. The kids had a great time swimming, fishing, and tubing. Would definitely recommend this home for a great vacation. Thank you to the owners for sharing their beautiful home.

Love the Lighthouse

For the past 4 summers we have started our end of school / beginning of summer at the lighthouse. Once again it was an amazing retreat form the city. Being able to use the boat lift for our boat is so helpful. I can’t imagine having to put it in and out of the water everyday. We put it in when we get there and don’t have to pull it out of the water until our last day. The kids enjoyed fishing, kayaking, jumping off the dock and playing catch in the grass. We had 2 families of 4 and there was plenty of room for all of us. My kids always look forward to staying at the lighthouse and the second we left they were already asking when we could go back.

Great trip!!! Only thing was washer handle broken so could not wash but that was okay. Upstairs tub water would not get hot but shower did. That was strange, house is so cute!!! I had no idea when trash day was so we did put trash in bin but did not put it out. Had I known, we could have put it out. Thanks!

Repeat Customer

We love staying at the lighthouse each summer. We had two families with 10 people total (4 adults, 6 kids ranging from 4 to 17). It is the perfect house to two families. The kids couldn’t get enough of the rope swing and jumping off the dock to swim. We also enjoyed kayaking and grilling. Everything we needed was there. We brought our own boat and jet ski and the lifts were perfect to keep them out of the water when we weren’t using them. It was a wonderful break from our normal lives and we can’t wait to enjoy a trip again next summer.

We loved staying at The Lighthouse. They did an amazing job giving it a personal touch. We loved the lake and the kayaks were so fun to use. We would definitely stay here again.

The Lighthouse is great for family gatherings

My family of 9 adult siblings had a wonderful reunion at the Lighthouse! Trisha and Trevor were the best hosts. They are so kind & quick to respond to messages. Their lake house has a beautiful serene view of Lake Livingston and they provide all of the essentials to relax & have a great time. Their home is spacious & clean with comfortable beds, kitchen/dinner ware, a grill, games , nice linens, towels and a large washer & dryer. The comfortable large sectional couch , the large kitchen table & patio table provide ample seating for a large group. There are 4 flat screens & great WiFi. The 3.5 baths are beautiful! We had fun lounging on the boathouse. The small gated neighborhood is friendly & safe. We truly appreciate you sharing your beautiful home!

Love the Lighthouse

This was our second time booking the lighthouse (we also stayed in June 2020) and it did not disappoint. Communication was great with the owners and there were plenty of things for everyone in our group to do (3 adults and 4 kids ranging from 3 to 18 years old). The favorites were kayaks, the rope swing and the old school Nintendo. The location can’t be beat either. We enjoyed watching the sunset over the water multiple evenings. We even got a game of Cornhole in. It was the perfect end of school celebration for us to unwind and enjoy the lake.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This house is BEAUTIFUL and Trevor and Trisha are amazing. They stayed in contact with us the entire stay, making sure we didnt need anything (it was great to know they were available incase we did need help) We were there for a 30th birthday celebration and Easter. Everyone enjoyed this beautiful property. The house is clean and the liens are GREAT! They had everything we needed in the kitchen as well. The neighbors are awesome too. One of the neighbors had their grandkids, they got out a slip and slide and had a GREAT time. The only thing I wish we had, was a boat, I think we would have been able to enjoy the lake a little more, if we had one. Now we know, for the next time we stay. Thank you again Trevor and Trisha!

Family get away.

We loved the Lighthouse! We loved the lake view! We stayed for 9 days and we loved every minute of our stay. The house was clean and comfortable. The dock was so nice, we fished and used the kayaks. The bathrooms are beautiful along with the rest of the house. Can’t wait to come back and visit again. The owners answered every question quickly and we had a problem with a lock on the door and someone was over within 30 min. And fixed it for us. Highly recommend taking advantage of this house and the lake.

Labor Day 2020

We enjoyed our stay very much. The property was everything it was advertised to be and more. It easily accommodated 9 of us and never once felt crowded. Did some water sports and even caught fish right off the dock. We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience and the entire family wants to make it an annual trip.

Awesome group vacation and getaway

We rented this house for two weeks with extended family and friends. It was very comfortable. The spaces are modern and all the accoutrements are there. There’s one bedroom on the first floor for the older set, and three bedrooms on the second floor. Bathrooms are beautiful. We used the boatlift on the dock for our boat, and the water is deep off of the dock for jumping in or using the rope swing. The back porch is very comfortable and wraps around, with lots of space and seating. It also includes a big propane grill where we cooked our dinner most nights. The kitchen is well stocked with almost everything you need. If you’re big into baking, you might need to bring some extra pans. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, and the neighbors are friendly. We will definitely return to this beautiful spot.
