About this property

Waterfront, w/covered boat slip, screened gazebo, kayaks, slide w/swim area

Welcome to The Boathouse on Bull Bayou — a cozy waterfront retreat designed for relaxing, reconnecting, and enjoying life on the lake.

This unique property sits right on the water and offers everything you need for a peaceful getaway. Start your mornings with coffee by the water, spend your days kayaking or out on the water, and wind down in the evenings around the fire pit under the trees.

Inside, you’ll find a warm, rustic space with beautiful wood walls and ceilings, comfortable seating, and an open layout perfect for small groups or families. The space comfortably sleeps 4 and includes a king bed and two bunk beds, along with a full bathroom and a convenient kitchenette.

Step outside and enjoy one of the best parts of the property — the outdoor living space. Relax in Adirondack chairs by the fire pit, cook meals on the outdoor grills, or unwind in the screened-in gazebo. Guests also have access to a private dock with one boat slip included, making it easy to bring your boat or enjoy the water up close.

Two kayaks are available for guest use, giving you an easy way to explore the bayou at your own pace.

We do not live on the property full-time, but we are always available if you need anything during your stay. You’ll have the space to yourself with easy, private access.

Whether you’re here to fish, boat, or simply relax, The Boathouse on Bull Bayou offers a quiet and comfortable escape you’ll want to come back to.
