A Great Lake front home for a large group. We had 2 multi generation families including 2 infants and had plenty of space. The back patio provides ample shade and lake views. Great long weekend! Enjoy!

Plenty of room in the house. Plenty of hot water & AC. Beds were comfy & groceries are nearby. We enjoyed the dock, fishing, swimming & kayak. The dock & backside of the house was shaded around 5:30, making it a great time to get in the water.My husband loved having the ice maker to fill his cooler for the dock. We enjoyed cooking most of our meals. The kitchen had plenty of necessities for this. Games were played at the dining room table. All in all, it was a good time for all.

Only problem was master bathroom shower knob isn’t working properly but I contacted host and let her know and she was very nice and appreciative that I let her know. No remote in front bedroom but living room tv remote worked. I would definitely come back again. There were no problems that couldn’t be fixed. My family enjoyed fishing and the view is beautiful. Love the ice machine!!! Also games available to play and very kid friendly.

Property was clean and ready for our stay. Options on the area are very limited so I was afraid quality might be low but the house was great. The only negative was the mosquito problem that regular spraying could eliminate. The owner was very kind and helpful.

Beautiful lakeside home, outstanding host/manager

This is our second stay in Gladewater. We love the home for its location and comfort. The host is super responsive and easy to work with. It feels like the home that it is, rather than a hotel. Thank you, Barbara! I look forward to returning.

In town for a family reunion. Had 2 places on the lake. This was the larger of the two. The property was better than the photos. We had a ball. The house was extremely comfortable and well stocked with towels, etc. Host was very accomodating before and after arrival. Made the place available hours before check-in. The Lake is amazing. Temperature of bath water . WE LOVED IT!!!

Enjoyed our stay

The location and set up of the house worked great for our family. We had a couple of maintenance issues but the owner was quick to respond, find solutions and make repairs. The house was clean and the view of the lake was beautiful. We enjoyed the skiing and sunset cruises around the lake. We visit family in Gladewater a couple of times a year and would not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks Barbara for sharing your home with us and for the kindness you and Greg extended to our family.
