Very clean home with a great view of the lake
Great place and wonderful views. If you have a dog though, theres no good place to take a walk unless you drive somewhere. Maybe because it was off season, but it was nice and quiet, except for the yappy dog across the street waking us up at 5:30 in the morning. Short drive to stores and restaurants made it a convenient place to stay.

PERFECTION
This property is outstanding! It is exactly as advertised. It’s clean and right on the water. We caught so many fish of all kinds. We enjoyed a bonfire and cooking on the grill. Our stay was just perfection! You have to go for a stay. You won’t regret it!

Nice quiet peace of heaven
It’s nothing fancy but we enjoyed it!! The ad mentioned a hot tub but there wasn’t one. No big deal and says it sleeps 6 but appears to only have beds for 5, one twin, one double and one queen. If you’re wanting to view the fireworks for the 4th. Not an ideal spot lol but still very nice and comfy. There’s a charcoal grill and small fire pit. Be aware that the only bathroom is inside the master bedroom. It was fine for us. But just an fyi. Same with the beds. The ac is window ac. We were close to town and the lake view is phenomenal! If you’re wanting peace and quiet and a great view, this is a very nice place.

Property was well equipped except for a tiny TV and total lack of internet connection. Admittedly we expected to spend lots of time outdoors, but still need internet! Also, owner requires you to wash whatever towels and washcloths used!

Great getaway
Went with our family,, me, my wife and our 2 kids. It's right on the water so if you have young ones just stay alert at all times. But if you do have kids there are some really amazing parks in Celina. My wife and I were blown away with how nice they were. Also if you're fishing we had a ton of success on night crawlers. Would definitely book this place again!!

The cottage was very comfortable. The view and location on the lake was great. A bald eagle visited daily along with herons and geese. The deck offers great seating and a beautiful view. Cottage was very clean and had everything you need. Will stay again.

eclipse 2024
We came from Florida and Alabama to be in the line of totality for the 2024 eclipse. Based on the reviews/comments, I expected a cozy, well-loved home on the lake; we definitely found this to be true. The lake view through the windows is magnetic, and the inside and outside were clean and comfortable…home-y. The owners had made sure we understood how things worked and where things were, through handy notes and instructions. We had brought supplies we thought we’d need, but nothing was really necessary except ourselves and our personal effects. The kitchen is snug, but well-equipped if you prefer to cook (grocery stores are nearby); and there are local menus and recommendations if you don’t. We grew up in this area, and The Lake House really felt like home. Thank you, Mr Al and Ms Cathy.

Lakehouse serenity
A quaint retro lake cottage with old fashioned charm. Warming and welcoming..the greatest view of the lake. This place is good for anyone wanting to enjoy a lakeview and to destress from daily life. Worth your time. No frills, just basic lakelife serenity. I absolutely love this hidden gem for a vacation retreat. You absolutely feel like the water is at your door.

About the host

Hosted by Al Sampson and Cathy Sampson

Host profile image
We are a recently retired couple that could not stay retired who love to travel and enjoy waterfront properties ourselves. We have rented to guests year-round from all parts of the country. We do get great comments on the accommodations and the lake area. We take pride in offering a very clean and updated lake house directly on Grand Lake. We recently added new queen size mattress and all new mattress covers. (5-2024)

Why they chose this property

We both grew up in the area. It is an entertaining and restful area with great restaurants, taverns and parks in the area. The in-the-lake dock is great for sun bathing, fishing, viewing the sun rise or sun sets, or just relaxing. In addition, the large deck equipped with with a table and 6 chairs is just 5 feet from the lake shore.

What makes this property unique

The view of the lake is breathtaking, especially in the moon light and with the morning sunrise. The convenience and great quality of the nearby restaurants as well as the fully equipped kitchen add to the stay. The fishing from the 16 foot dock is exceptional. The deck just 5 feet from the shore, is so relaxing and a great place for gatherings especially with the attached fire pit.
