Just like home

Lovely little house on the water. Just perfect for our family. My husband and myself and 2 teen granddaughters stayed for the weekend for their Bdays. It turned out to be horrible weather and ruined our plans but it happens. We still managed to have a great time. The girls found games and puzzles to keep them busy. And really loved being able watch all the birds. House had everything you needed. Just like being at home. We are definitely going back

Beautiful, clean lake house with wonderful amenities, views!!! The owner knew we had dogs coming with us and had a cute bag of treats upon arrival. This host goes above and beyond any property we’ve ever stayed at. They provided basically a full house service. Amazing. The house and dock were so peaceful. Highly recommend!

Great Lakehouse!!

The lakehouse was perfect, clean, organized and cozy. The view was fantastic. Watched sunrise and sunset from the boat house as all the water fowl flew to nesting and feeding grounds. The hot tub in the evening was the perfect finish to a relaxing day. The owner was freindly and helpful.

My grandchildren never had a reason to be bored. They were able to Kayak, swim, fish and use the hot tub. All we brought was food, our clothes and fish bait. The home came with fishing poles, life jackets (clean), towels and kayaks. Wonderful weekend and great location. Thank you Jen:)

Beautiful property!

This is a wonderful retreat! Property is gorgeous and just as it is pictured. Host is so helpful and everything was perfect for our stay. We loved seeing all the birds and turtles out in the lake. Hot tub was so relaxing and so many stars! I can’t say enough about what a beautiful rental this is - we’ll stay here again if we’re in this area.

Lake Livingston House

We were blown away. Every supply you could need and only a few miles from the nearest town. The house was perfect and the lake was beautiful. The owners made the process simple and were easy to work with. The amenities were first class, and the sunrise was absolutely beautiful every morning. Do yourself a favor and check out this place!

Birthday getaway

We were looking for a close to home getaway to celebrate my wife's birthday. We wanted a simple all inclusive place that wouldn't require a lot of effort on our part. The title of this rental said it all: "Romantic Hideaway Lakefront Retreat Fireside Lounge, Spa, Swimming and Kayaks!!!" It was all of that and more, spotless clean, well stocked, private and exactly what we were looking for. All of the amenities had detailed instructions on how to use. The proximity to "Goat Island" was a bonus. I kayaked over and explored the less densely side of the island. Although I didn't see the goats, I heard them in the thickets. It was an awesome stay and certainly on our list of potential repeat visits!

Everything and more…

My boyfriend and I stayed for four nights and everything was just as promised. The hot tub was really clean and nice. The fishing pier was awesome. My boyfriend fished every day. The house was so cute and it had absolutely everything you could possibly need in it. It was my birthday, so the host left me a little birthday gift which I thought was so thoughtful and sweet. Honestly, I can’t wait to go visit there again! I highly recommend this property! It exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you, Jen.

Repeat Visit

Jen and her team are detailed, accommodating and supported us on every inquiry. Most importantly, the property interior and exterior are much better than expected. You have many choices for patio relaxing (e.g., indoor, outdoor, lake, jacuzzi, etc.), you choose. The kitchen, shower, bathroom, outside shower, living room and especially the lake fireplace are relaxing and will meet your expectations. We look forward to another, if not, 2 more trips this year. Thanks to Jen!!!

Clean and comfortable

Overall, this property was very clean, comfortable, and very organized! The Lakehouse had everything we needed, we only had to bring our clothes and our food. The beds were extremely comfortable and it was nice and quiet at night. The air conditioning worked great. The hot tub was amazingly clean. The dock was a wonderful place to fish from and relax… we did bring our own fishing poles. The kayaks were an added bonus and we enjoyed being able to kayak over to Goat Island. The only small issue was that a lot of spiders had taken up residence around the dock, and had some lovely webs… but this would seem to be a fairly common nuisance at the lake. Not sure if it was because of the spiders…But there were no mosquitos!!👍 Overall, we had a great time and plan on a return visit👍

Weekend Getaway

AMAZING!! We have stayed at many properties and this one has been the best, hands down! The house, the location, ALL of the amenities were absolutely spot on fabulous! Because of the little notes all thru the house, the information binder, all of the little extra touches that just screamed, “welcome!” we felt at home and at ease immediately. We quickly noticed there were no signs all over the place asking guests not to touch items, not for guest use, and not to move the furniture. Kudos! (We don’t ever move much, but sometimes a slight move of furniture for comfort and function helps.) Instead, we found an information binder and well placed notes instructing us in how much we WERE allowed to do, how to do it, and appropriate safety precautions. Check out is at 11 rather than 10, and there was no 20 step check off list like almost every other property. Two BIG bonuses that allow guests to relax and feel comfortable all the way to the minute they drive off. These owners go the extra mile to make their guests feel comfortable and welcome. Thanks y’all!!! We will be back!!

About the host

Jen and Chris

Why they chose this property

This property has been in the family for years. We have used it as a guest house for our friends and families. They have always commented on how relaxing it is at the lake and fun in the summer. Many have always told us it would be a perfect short-term rental and I guess we finally listened. It has already been upgraded and we plan to use all the proceeds to continue the upgrades to the property. So ... If you book one year, it will likely have more features on your next visit.

What makes this property unique

This is a very popular part of the lake because of the beaches at Goat Island and the open water for water sports. There is also very good fishing right off the dock and in this general area.
