The 950 sq ft house features 2 king beds, 2 sofa beds, fully stocked kitchen, washer / dryer, and an elegant & peaceful design. It's the perfect place for having breakfast on the patio, seeing the sunsets over the lake, and taking in a drink & s'mores at the firepit at night!

Great Lake House!

We enjoyed our stay here. Extremely comfortable beds/bedding! Amenities were beyond plentiful (I couldn't think of a single thing that might have been needed that was not stocked in the home). Parking is somewhat tricky with a boat trailer, but manageable for sure. Only minor hiccup was that the lawn service showed up while we were eating lunch in the backyard. No big deal, they weren't there very long! Loved the view from the swing, and enjoyed seating around the fire pit. Would definitely recommend staying here, and hope we can visit again soon!

Lovely in Livingston

We absolutely adored and loved this property right on the water at Lake Livingston. Perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the swing of the boathouse and enjoy the sunset around the firepit out back. The accommodations were amazing and hosts the absolute best!

Nice Place for Young Families & their Friends.

It was a nice place inside and out….for younger people than people 80 years old.. we could not climb the stairs to get to the bed rooms ( they are too steep) We slept on two small couches (one each) down stairs (uncomfortably).

Amazing!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin is so lovely. Very clean and loved the decor style. House was stocked with everything we needed. We had such a relaxing time in the yard and the boat dock is awesome. The yard fencing is great, we didn't have to worry about the dogs getting out anywhere. We will definitely recommend this rental to our friends and family looking for a quick get away.

lakehouse

everything was wonderful. Only issue is the driveway if you bring a boat to use in the advertised dock. Unless you have a small narrow boat, it is very hard to mauver a boat trailer to and from location and no secure location to store the trailer after launching boat without use of the very narrow driveway. other than that, a wonderful place for the price.

Best Vrbo stay in years!

The owner/manager went above and beyound for our stay!. There were so many small personalizations for both us and our puppy, it truly warmed our hearts. This house provided the Zen feeling we desperately needed from our busy lives and made us feel right at home.The kitchen is fully stocked for at least 15 people.(We cook at least 3 to 4 times a day) Anything we needed was at our fingertips. The shower is very modern and up to date. The toiletries provided were of top quality. The beds are huge and super comfy! We bbq'd, swam right outside, fished off their private dock, and enjoyed days of exploring the lake on our jet skies! We are so beyound pleased we are already planning our next trip back to this home!

Perfect rental

Very comfortable and functional! Property managers really thought of it all- two very comfortable kind beds, fully stocked kitchen, detailed house info book, plenty of seating inside and outside. They even had treats waiting for our dog. Given the small square footage, this place was designed well and never felt small to us. Property manager notified us of air conditioning problems that came up the day before our check-in. He was communicative about our options and ultimately chose to install window units before we checked in. We really appreciated how they kept us Informed about the air conditioning issues but also handled it a way that made very little impact regarding our stay. Would definitely book it again and recommend it to others
