Pretty Waterfront House

We spent our 8th anniversary weekend here for the big bass splash and it was in a perfect location. We were a couple of minutes away from a boat ramp, the house was very clean, and the owner responded quickly when we had questions. We plan to come back in the future and bring our two children.

Celebration of Life

We have stayed at many VRBO and Air-BNB and this property was by far the cleanest we have stayed at. We loved the lake views and ample space for our family. Highly recommended!

Prime lakeview

This was a long term stay of 2 months and I couldn’t have asked for much more. The host was very responsive and helpful with any needs and questions I had. The house is in great shape and I will never forget those sunset views! The neighborhood is 15-20 minutes from Lufkin, but there are dollar general stores just a couple minutes away. Highly recommend for long and short term trips!

Lake Life

We had a great time at this lake front property! Sat on the screened in patio for breakfast and also for watching beautiful sunsets. Also went down to the lake to fish! The house is amazing, open living room, dining and kitchen. Very comfortable and homey. The 3 car garage was great for storing our truck and motorcycle. Owner was very helpful with changing our reseravation when we had a death in the family. Highly recommend this place. You wont be disappointed.

Graduation Family Weekend

Impeccable condition all around. A gorgeous home with more than enough space to facilitate a large family function. The location is beautiful and the view of the lake amazing, wish we would have brought fishing poles! 3 car garage and parking along with a backyard that stretches right out the water made this the perfect place for our gathering. Owners are amazing. Pictures do not do it justice, this is a MUST STAY property.

An Amazing Stay You Will Not Forget

This was our first time using Vrbo or booking a stay like this in general (outside of hotels/resorts). The house was much nicer than expected inside and out, the whole family loved it. We were not used to having water access in the backyard lol, it was amazing. We brought our boat and 4 wheeler and got to use both alot while staying. We had a blast and the house has everything you need, which is extremely convenient. The owner was very accomodating and very easy to deal with. I cant say enough good things about our stay or the house, but we will absolutely recommend this stay to anyone it was awesome. Thanks for the memories !

The cleanest, best stocked VRBO we have ever stayed in!!!

We had an absolutely wonderful long weekend here. My husbands and sons have kayaks that they were able to launch right off the property to fish and check out the lake. The house was immaculate and the as stocked with plenty of towels, blankets, pillows, cookie sheets, cutting boards, and so much more. We would absolutely stay again and recommend to others without hesitation. We did not have a single problem during our stay. Can’t say enough good things about this property and house. Would note for others that next time we would probably come with more groceries so we were prepared to make meals as there really isn’t anything restaurant wise super close. There was a Brookeshire Bros just 15 min away in Huntington if you don’t want to drag your groceries with you.

Relaxing

House was in a great location beautiful and restful. No area to swim for the kids but we improvised and got a small blow up pool. Recommended for adults and fishing . Launch area if you have a boat.
