This place was perfect! We loved that it was right by the water and really peaceful. The house was so nice and the beds were comfortable . It’s a perfect place to get up early, sit on the porch, drink some coffee and enjoy sweet view of the river.

Great private getaway

We visited the Houston area for baseball tournament and wanted to be anywhere but a hotel, this lake house was perfect and allowed us a great escape and a relaxing time when off the ball fields! We would definitely return if we come back down to the area again!

Nicest rental ever!

My first impression of the place was that it was absolutely spotless and smelled incredible. It was spacious, with comfortable furniture and a whole bunch of natural light. My wife and I both agreed that it was the best rental we've stayed at during our trip through the states. Worth every penny, would highly recommend.

Fun Little Home on the Water

My family and I stayed here for over a month while we were in the process of relocating to the area. We loved the views and the overall functionality of the home. The owners were amazing to work with and had fantastic communication. The home was surface cleaned, but could use a deep dusting. We appreciated the full size pack of tp left along with dish soap and paper towels. There were plenty of cooking items and even a pantry. Our only complaint would be that some people showed up and got into the garage without us being notified. We weren't sure what was going on. Then they left the damaged garage door open. We requested maintenance to come and they did right away to try and close the door. That being said the garage door does need to be replaced. We stayed right after Hurricane Beryl; the dock seen in the pictures has been partially washed away and will need to be replaced as well. Overall, we appreciated the great communication and flexibility the owners gave us. My family enjoyed fishing in the evenings and caught lots of small fish from the bank. We had no issues with any of the neighbors and felt safe while staying there.
