Great family home for hosting multiple groups. Beautiful house layout. The best part was how clean the lake front was. Great for kids to play in water without worry.

This place really was a very serene location, off the beating path a bit, which we all really liked. It was just as advertised, beautiful views of Lake Bob Sandlin and very calm and quiet. The house was very clean and comfortable for our party of six. The lake was alive with nature, birds mostly, and the hummingbird feeders were active most of the day with hummingbirds. The host was very hospitable and a good communicator. This was my first time visiting this area of Texas and it was just about the perfect setting.

Cabin was exactly as described and met our needs perfectly. It was a nice surprise to have a huge walk-in pantry as well for extra storage so everything wasn’t out on the countertops. The boathouse was also a highlight with the swings and fantastic views (and the ability to use the boat stall and lift was a must have for us so we’re thankful that was available as well!) We will definitely be coming back!!

This place in Pittsburg is a solid find if you're looking for a quiet spot on the water. The house has that great rustic, lodge feel with plenty of room inside, but we spent most of our time out on the massive patio and the dock. It’s a setup built for relaxing, whether you’re out by the lake all day or just sitting outside with a drink in the evening. If you want a straightforward, high-quality getaway in East Texas, this is the one.

This property fits our family perfectly. We rented two paddles boards and used the kayaks provided for water fun. Fishing was wonderful, as we all spent time trying to catch something! The house was comfortable, well equipped kitchen and plenty to keep everyone from the 5 year old to the 66 year old happy. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

Thanks for the kind words Cynthia! Yes, we also absolutely love this hidden gem because the lake is never crowded, nor noisy (except for a week or two each year when pelicans and swans pass through on their migration ;).
