Great modern experience!
Very happy. The property was clean and modern. Very comfortable and stocked with kitchen utensils. If internet calling is needed, you may need to intitialize wifi calling, but i needed to get a cellular bar signal outside as well. After i did this calling was good.Check in is a little late in the day at 4pm. Great place. 5 stars.

A Perfect Lake Weekend
Only one word "Perfect". We stayed here in October 2021 and only thing was the driveway being dirt and messy after a rain. Well it's now concrete, so stay there if you can, you won't be disappointed. Clean, well kept, and minutes from a launch ramp.

Good Stay- just needs a few fixes.
Our stay was good. The owner was very easy to get ahold, but just a few issues that can be easily fixed.. The floor was pretty dirty and the shower drain had hair in it. Also, the owner states there is little service, he isn't lying. There is NO service, so be sure to screenshot the instructions so you can get in the house and have WiFi. I have Verizon service and even going to the boat ramp did not work. I would suggest to the owner just to have the WiFi password written down somewhere.

Really enjoyed the quiet, peaceful downtime in the cute cabin. No TV in living room meant more time doing things together like games and puzzles. More conversation! Would definitely stay again!

Breathtaking
I chose this listing for a bday getaway to unplug. Everything about this place is remarkable. Communication with the host was great. As soon as I sent a message, within 2 minutes I had a response. Only issued that was had was the TV updating in the bedroom and wouldn't work but other than that everything was great! The listing is FULLY stocked. Everything that you could possibly think of was there and accessible.

Very clean and accommodating. Great view and a nice place to retreat to in order to get away from the hustle and bustle of big city life. Everything was in order and definitely one of my favorite stays.

Awesome A-Frame!
I got busy after returning home and neglected to post this review sooner. Jason provides an exceptional property for ANY visiting the Shirley Creek area. This A-frame cabin is super clean and comfortable. It is well maintained and chock full of modern updates. The location is excellent for just relaxing on the huge deck and enjoying the birds, shade trees, and people watching. This is a quiet little neighborhood just before you get into the state park and you can see the road from the cabin deck. We weren't there for fishing and didn't have a boat, but I'm confident that I could have maneuvered a medium sized boat trailer and my truck back into the available parking area with no problem. Another post commented on the muddy parking and, sure enough, we arrived right after a downpour that ended a long dry spell. Things were damp and soggy, but VERY manageable and NOTHING like the gumbo mud we have here in Corpus Christi. If you are headed to Sam Rayburn for ANY reason, this property is a MUST for your stay!

Relaxing Weekend
The cabin was great. Getting checked in was a breeze, Jason had everything ready when we arrived. We enjoyed our stay, it was quiet and relaxing. Our only complaint and reason we didn't give it a 5 star was the parking. It rained and the parking is on mud, slick mud. If the parking area had been different, we would have given the stay a 6 star if possible.

Work needed
House is very nice.....a little work is needed!! It rained the day we got there....a muddy mess to walk in rental....pavers or walkway needed!! Also, plumbing needs attention!! We flushed the toilet and water flew out the kitchen sink....clean water but nonetheless....there is a problem somewhere!! We stayed here once....I would try this same rental again....if on the second stay the same problems occur....I would not rent from this owner again!!

Out of the way & outstanding
This is the perfect getaway if you’re looking for solitude and quiet. Our host, Jason couldn’t have been nicer. For a couple of city weary and overworked Houstonians, this was just the way to ring in 2021!
