Lake House Vacay

We had an amazing time at the lake house! It was my family, my parents, and my brother's family. So, 6 adults and 4 teen boys! The house was super cute, full of everything we could possibly need, and the hosts were very responsive! We cooked full meals for 10 every night, and had all the pots, pans, and cooking utensils necessary. We all slept very comfortably, and the dock was perfect for everyone to fish off of. Thank you Andy, for a great mini vacation!

Love this property. The owners are very quick to respond to any questions. The home is stocked with supplies from towels, toiletries, and kitchen equipment. The beds are comfy. We came for my daughters 17th birtday so two adults and six teenagers and still had an empty bedroom and an empty bunk bed so it is great for larger groups. We very much enjoyed the sunset view from the top of the deck it was so beautiful. The teens had a great time as well with lots of time in the water using the available paddle boards, etc. We will definitely be coming back.

Baseball tournament weekend

We were playing baseball in the area and decided we wanted to stay on the lake. House was great. Location was great. Wish it were warmer so we could have gotten in the water but they had everything we would have needed.

The Perfect lake Getaway.

I cannot say enough about how nice this place is. All updated, very clean, and the best access to lake, fishing, along with the kayak's and paddleboards. My favorite part is the lights on the dock at night...just magical.

Family weekend on the lake

So much to do at the house that you never need to leave. The kids wanted to stay outside the whole time either fishing or playing on the water (rope swing, lake mat, kayaks). The house has everything you can think of. The hosts were super friendly checking in to make sure we were enjoying our stay which of course we were. The location on the lake and the dock were perfect.

Mom Getaway

We had the most fun at this beautiful house! It’s the perfect place for an active group. We celebrated our friend’s 40th with the best views, late night talks on the lit up top deck, kayaking and paddle board excursions, sunbathing on the lily pad and grilling out. I would recommend this home to any group of friends or family looking to make the most of a lake vacation.

Wonderful Stay!

Great house and beautiful location on the lake. We were a group of ladies going to Canton 1st Monday. Easy 30 minute drive into Canton. We loved all being together and staying here instead of a hotel. I definitely want to come back to this home during the summer to fully enjoy the lake and beautiful sunsets!

We spent 5 days and 4 nights here with two families and the house was a great fit. The layout worked well, and the kitchen was well-stocked with cooking essentials and helpful disposables like trash bags, soaps, paper products, etc.—a nice touch. There were plenty of towels (including beach towels) and outdoor chairs. We loved the lake and dock—the water was clean with a flat, sandy bottom, and the sunset views were stunning. Location is convenient, close to Walmart for groceries. We also rented jet skis and a boat from Southside Water Sports.We specifically book vacation homes with recreational gear, and this listing advertised 3 kayaks and 2 paddleboards. Unfortunately, only 1 kayak (and the paddle boards) was there when we arrived. The owner said one was damaged and being replaced, but had we known, we’d have brought extras. The lily pad was also in rough shape with a large split, so we didn’t let many kids on it at once. Lastly, there was a strong odor in the king room connected to the bunk room. We later discovered a towel under the bed that appeared to have been used to clean up vomit—something the cleaning crew definitely missed.

Beautiful Lake House

We come to Texas every summer to spend time with our family. We rented this home for the convenience of the lake. It was perfect, the provided lake games and floaties were perfect for all day entertainment. The dock was amazing and made it easy for our family to bring their boats over for the weekend. The owners had great communication which made the stay even better. 5 star.

Location was the best on the lake that we saw. The dock was incredible... so clean, new, and in pristine condition. Furniture in the house is very comfortable. The kids loved the bunk room. We really appreciated having the Kayaks and the paddle boards there for our use. Great stay...we hope to go back soon!
