A smart TV in the living area lets you stream shows and movies from your favorite digital service. A sofa bed and two armchairs provide comfy seating. Light the wood-burning fireplace for added allure.

The second bedroom is furnished with three twin-size beds, one of which includes a twin trundle.

A half bath with direct access to the outdoor shower provides additional convenience.

OUTDOOR AREA & AMENITIES

A quiet getaway just with family
We were looking for a quiet place to readjust our family as one of our older children has recently departed for college. We took our 2 teenage boys to this cute, quiet, cottage on the water and really had fun bonding as a family of four. The furnishings are perfect, and the games/activities were on target. The sunsets are priceless. We laughed, rested, slept in, and ventured out - it was exactly as we had hoped. No place is perfect and there were a few little hiccups but nothing significant. We would highly recommend this if you are looking for a nice family time away from the hustle and bustle.

Nice Weekend Getaway
The house was clean and the decor and floorplan were perfect. Beds were cozy and comfy. Central air worked perfectly. Tons of games for our family to play with. The lake was low due to the drought, but my teenage sons figured out a way to walk down to the water where they kayaked and swam. The view of the lake from the house was still beautiful with boaters, jet skiers and kayakers. Beautiful and plentiful birds all around, along with deer. We saw a spotted fawn sitting under the tree by the hammock. Good homebase. We swam at Inks Lake State Park and went to Longhorn Cavern which are nearby. Property customer service was excellent with questions.

Family vacation
What a great house and location. This was a short family trip before school starts back up. It was clean and right on the water. We made great use of the kayaks and enjoyed playing some of the board games. We even caught a few fish off the bank.

Great vacation rental
This was a nice house located in a quaint neighborhood with beautiful scenery and deer roaming through the lot. Would update fishing poles as they were a bit neglected. Would highly recommend for a family to get a way at a nice large lake.

Looks like a great place
We were not able to make it to the property bc my grandfather passed away. The property managers would not allow me to reschedule bc of their cancellation policy. Looks like a great place. We might try to book again but I would only book this as a last minute trip bc of this experience.
