Wonderful place

This place was a great spot for us to stay while visiting family in Texas. Enjoyed the decks, kayaks, and paddle boat as well as the fire pit. Only negative is that with the hard water in the area you have to use a lot of bottled water and there isn't any recycling. Nothing that this place can help, but perhaps knowing that I can come better prepared if we were to stay here again. Owner was very communicative and thought of everything. Truly a lovely place.

Just what we needed

It was a perfect spot for a short weekend stay. Accommodations were as advertised. The neighborhood was quiet and hoping to go back and enjoy the outdoor area when we have more time.

About the host

Hosted by Tuan Nguyen

Hello,

I'm Tuan. I'm a friendly veteran who loves to travel and enjoy wonderful vacations/adventures. Along with my wife, Phuong, we have been slowly fulfilling our dream of traveling the world.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this cute cottage in early 2021 while searching for a perfect vacation home by the water. After months of searching, we landed our eyes on this cozy place and fell in love at first sight. The view, the scenery, the calmness of the water, and the surrounded nature has convinced us that this is the place. Previous owner has taken a good care of this place, through which, we saw love, care and memories being made. We also spent more than a year to renovate this place, pouring our heart into it, to make the place a perfect getaway spot for whoever needs it.

What makes this property unique

We love sitting by the water with a cup of coffee every morning
We love fishing from our private dock or kayak/boat around the lake
We love kayaking/pedal boating around the peaceful and quiet lake
We love having endless campfire with our friends
We love hanging out at the porch for BBQ gathering
We love sitting in the cozy living room, playing board games and making memories
