My friends and I had a great stay at this beautiful lakefront home! The check in process was smooth and the property manager was easy to communicate with. There is both a pool and hot tub on the property, but you have to pay extra if you want them heated. There were more than enough rooms, and we loved that there were so many king size beds! I would definitely recommend this house to others looking for a beautiful place to stay with amazing views of the lake!

Exceeded expectations

Not often do pictures not do justice to reality when renting homes online, this home was far beyond what was expected once seen in person. Great location, far enough to be able to be isolated. Close enough to get out and see the city.

graduation stay

It was a wonderful weekend and we all enjoyed being there. The a/c was inconsistent at best and the stairs leading to the basement area were "interesting". Personally, I think I would wait until the remodel was complete before I rented it out again. There were obvious things that were not done yet and not so obvious but subtle omissions that would've been appreciated. All in all, we had a wonderful time and appreciated the accommodations. We all thank you

Response from VrboOwner on 5 December 2025
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Linda, and for choosing our home for such a special graduation weekend. We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed your time overall and appreciated the accommodations. We sincerely apologize for the discomfort with the A/C and for the areas of the home that still felt unfinished. Your feedback is completely valid. We’re in the final stages of completing the remodel, and although we aim to ensure everything is guest-ready, we understand how those unfinished details — big and small — can impact your stay. We also appreciate your note about the stairs to the basement area. We’ve shared this with our team to assess safety, lighting, and ease of use so future guests have a smoother experience. Thank you again for taking the time to share your perspective. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding, and we’re glad the weekend was still wonderful for your group. We’d love the chance to welcome you back once everything is fully completed and polished.

Large comfy house is great!Inside was neat and clean!Outside not as advertised: dock not accessible and clearly in disuse, untidy yard and rough surfaces, kayaks cannot be taken to water, decks were covered in multi-day dust and old footprints.

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your feedback Frans. We’re happy to hear that the inside of the home was clean and comfortable for your stay. We sincerely apologize for the condition of the dock area. The dock was significantly damaged during the recent Texas floods, and due to safety reasons we have temporarily removed it from our listing while we work on repairs. We understand how this may have impacted your experience, and we appreciate your patience while we restore the loading dock to a usable condition. Thank you as well for communicating with us during your stay and for accepting the partial refund we offered as a gesture of goodwill. Feedback like yours is truly helpful as we continue making improvements.

The property management company was extremely responsive, resolving issues on the same day they were reported.The basement smelled really bad due to the bathroom. We didn’t feel comfortable using the basement bathroom because of the smell and special instructions. The basement layout was also very odd with double sliding doors separating the exercise room from the bedrooms and to the outside. The main level and upstairs were nice, but the floors were not clean. The cabinet doors were falling off in the kitchen. The bathroom on the main level only has a tub with no shower. It would be more useful if the bathroom had a shower. As noted in the property description, the dock is difficult to access, and for us we didn’t feel safe bringing the kayak or paddle boards down to the dock.The house has potential, but it really needs to be “lived in” so that the owners can experience the house and make it better.

Thank you for your detailed feedback Carolyn. We’re glad you found our team responsive and that issues were addressed quickly during your stay.

Please know we’ve already taken steps to resolve the basement bathroom smell and are addressing the kitchen and flooring to ensure they meet our standards.
