About this property

WATERFRONT House in Peaceful Cove w/ Great Fishing

Welcome to our beautiful lakefront home on Lake Sam Rayburn Reservoir near Broaddus, TX. This lake house is perfect for anglers, hunters, and families. Located less than five minutes from Broaddus, TX and the Jackson Hill Marina you will be close to stores, restaurants, and boat access while still feeling you are away from it all. Zavalla is twelve miles away and Cassels-Boykin public access is only ten miles away.

Walk less than one hundred feet and you are at the shore of a sheltered cove that is great for swimming, fishing and boating. Photography and birding possibilities abound-- regularly seen are bald eagles, cranes, egrets, hawks, turtles, otters, and deer.

For the anglers we have tried to meet all of your needs: conveniently located exterior outlets for charging your equipment, fish cleaning station, and shoreline tie-offs for your boat if you so desire. The fishing here is amazing as well, with large-mouth and other assorted bass, crappie, gar and catfish waiting to hit your lines.

Hunters staying here will be pleasantly surprised at how close they are to hunting in the Angelina National Forest just a few minutes from the property.

For the chefs and foodies out there we have a fully furnished kitchen with all the utensils and cookware you need to make your culinary masterpiece. In addition we have a gas grill on an outside patio for the BBQ aficionados.

This home has wifi and internet TV with Sling, Netflix, Hulu, etc. For the kids and young at heart we have board games, dominoes, cards, etc. Not to mention our fire pit where hot dogs and marshmallows find their proper tasty end.

Thanks for visiting our site, we hope you choose to make your memories with us!

Heater was broke

Seems like a great place to stay. The heater was broke when we tried to come. The owner refunded the full price, and offered a free trip later on. We are still looking forward too it!

After Christmas getaway

Perfect place to unwind from holiday rush, unplug and catch up with family. Peaceful location on a secluded cove. We took nice walks, caught (and released) fish and basically relaxed.

Slice of paradise

This location had all the amenities of home, quite neighborhood, boat ramps within 5 minutes of location, places to eat from 5 to 25 minutes of location and was able to park the boats on the water just 50 yards out the back door. the only complaint I have is that there wasn't an electrical outlet near the water to charge the boat batteries and could use a third parking spot. overall, very satisfied with accommodations and the view.

Father’s Day weekend

Great weekend get away for the Fathers and Sons in our family. House had plenty of room for the 5 of us. Lake level was 6.5 ft above pool so bank fishing was much easier for the Grandpa in our group. This was our third stay here and won’t be our last.

Wonderful Getaway

I give this house A 10/10. Everything we needed , lots of room , and a wonderful view of the lake. We had had plenty of space to park 2 trucks with boats and another car. Boat ramp is right around the corner making the lake access super easy. I love the spacious back porch where you can sit and enjoy the evenings watching the sunset over the water. This house was exactly what I was looking for to enjoy a birthday getaway at the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Erin

Host profile image
A group of friends bought this wonderful lake house home to share with their family and friends. Our eldest partner is a decorated Vietnam veteran who has many kids and grand-kids who enjoy the cabin. The two other partners are a dedicated couple who love to fish and participate in competition BBQ and chili cook-offs (Viva Terlingua!).

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the lakefront location and view first and foremost. The house has windows front to back so you never feel separated from the great outdoors. The property perfectly combines the feel of a quaint cabin with modern amenities including wifi and internet TV. We can't forget to mention the cove the property sits on as it is one of the best fishing coves on the lake. We routinely see tournament fisherman casting directly at our shoreline and catching big bass.

What makes this property unique

This is truly a lakefront property, not just a lake view. We have added some unique additions to enhance your stay like a fire pit with recycled pine tree seats, a fish cleaning station and an outdoor heated shower.
