About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

“Lake Life” - Boat ramp here

Three bedrooms, two bedrooms with king beds with My Pillow® "Washable" pillows and My Pillow® Giza cotton sheets, one bedroom with two queens. One bathroom, laundry room, recliner and double reclining couch.
Great cozy spot perfect for a quiet get away and relaxing. If you enjoy sitting on the porch drinking coffee while the sun is coming up, with a view of the water, or watching the moon rise with a beer and or a glass of wine, this is a place for you.
Very few areas on Sam Rayburn lake have a public boat ramp and this is one of them. (We consider it private since it's in our subdivision and very few know about it.)
House sits on one lot with two additional empty lots, so there is plenty of room to spread out.
Most all the property in the subdivision are weekend homes with many being in their families for many years, so most are very proud of what they have. If you like telling fish stories, throwing washers, playing 42 and just mingling with the neighbors, we believe you'll enjoy this area.

Grocery stores are about 10 miles away East or West in Broaddus and Pineland, with Powell Park about the same distance South. Lufkin and Jasper are both about 45 minutes away.
Liquor is about 25 miles away, so if that's your thing, plan appropriately.

Amazing!!

I think this rental is one we enjoyed more than any where else we've stayed! The home was very comfortable cozy very clean we could want for nothing! The hosts were amazing as well! It rained and turned cold on us so we didn't get to do much fishing but that was completely okay because we spent a better part of our time on the porch in the rocking chairs having coffee and just watching the birds. We will definitely be back!

Great place near fishing

We stayed here for my son’s high school fishing tournament. The location was perfect, the boat ramp was really nice, the availability of a boat shed with electricity was nice for late evening preparations for the tournament. The cabin was really nice, and the host was very accommodating and helpful throughout the stay. We would love to stay here again!

Great place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the lake house. The owner Ian lives across the street and is super friendly and will help with any questions you may have. The house was really clean and comfortable. It is just around the corner from a neighborhood boat ramp so it made it really nice and convenient for a fisherman like myself. We will try to stay there again for sure.

Great Cabin!

Very clean and the owners thought of everything! From a big porch fan down to the littlest details. We will recommend this cabin to everyone that comes to the lake! Owners live across the street and we’re available and responsive to everything we asked. Great location, great A/C!

Perfect weekend getaway

Owner was super sweet and helpful. The cabin is so cute decorated, all bed were comfortable and cabin was very clean and nice. I thought the two beds in the pick was twin beds but they are actually two full size beds! Cabin has everything you will need. Nice quiet neighborhood. Perfect fishing location we tore up the catfish all weekend! Highly recommend

Nothing but awesome!

This was my first VBRO stay , the bar was definitely set high! Communication with the owner was flawless and very efficient. The house was way more than I thought it would be and the icing was the people around the neighborhood. One lady made cookies and brought them to the kids! Will definitely be booking again here if we stay in the area or have a tournament.

Hidden gem!

I almost don’t want to leave a review because I’m afraid it’ll be harder to book in the future, and I will absolutely be staying here again! Ian is an awesome host! I’ve stayed at many VRBO properties, and he’s the best host I’ve ever encountered. The neighborhood is super quiet and safe. There is a boat ramp right there in the neighborhood. The house itself is comfortable and has plenty of space for multiple guests. Will be back!

Family friendly and safe area

Ian is everything other reviewers said. He lives across the street and makes himself available whenever needed but never makes it feel like he’s watching you or being intrusive. He’s the neighbor you wish you had at home. The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful and safe. Feels like the old days where everyone watches out for each other and you could leave your doors unlocked without having to worry; although, no one would do that these days. The house is neat and clean. There is a fan provided for each bedroom. At this time, one king bedroom has a mattress that is a little firmer than the other so it was nice to have a choice. Everyone slept comfortably and rested well. There are several boat launches nearby including one in the neighborhood that is in excellent shape. If you have others with you that don’t fish but enjoy sitting by the water and watching wildlife, the boat launch is close enough to walk to and has a picnic bench in the shade next to the launch area that is perfect to watch the squirrels play and listen to the birds while taking in the beautiful lake view. Would definitely recommend this place.

Loved this cozy Cabin

This was a perfect stay! The house literally had everything we needed right down to wood so we could enjoy an outside fire. The boat ramp was super close for our early morning launch for the Bass tournament. The hosts were so kind and friendly. Would stay here over and over again!

Family Time

It was a wonderful week, we wanted to stay somewhere that all of our grandchildren could come and visit, if they could make the trip. We played tons of games cooked instead of going out to eat. The grands were able to have their own rooms and sleep late if they wanted to. The best thing was just to relax. Thanks Ian and Gayla for helping with our red headed step child, we often wonder about him. This was an experience we will not soon forget. Great place to slow down.

Home away from Home

Where to even begin! My husband and I planned our 1yr wedding anniversary trip here and we couldn’t have asked for a better place! Ian and Gigi thought of every detail including having gifts for us for our special day. The house was loaded with everything you could need and what we didn’t have, they were just a text message away from letting us know where we could get it or bring it to us! The beds were comfortable, the location was amazing if you have a boat as it’s close access to the boat ramp. We enjoyed a full day in the beach like water just floating in our floats and laughing until we cried! We enjoyed every minute of the serene peace and quiet and water fun! Thank you Ian for being so attentive and responsive and thank you Gigi for treating us like forever friends! We will not forget this trip and we will be back!! Now back to reality!!!
