Peaceful oasis

The cottage is like a peaceful oasis away from the Frey. While we didn’t take advantage of the kayaks I hope to come back with my spouse soon and. Take them out on the lake.

Peaceful and Beautiful Landscape

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the bungalow. The house is surrounded by a generous expanse of grass and trees in the front and a slough with sloping terrain in the back. Very private. My husband and I enjoyed watching birds from very comfortable furniture on the front porch. Refrigerator was stocked with water bottles when we arrived. A very pleasant stay.

Peaceful, Quiet Bungalow in the Woods

We are four senior aged cousins who spent a relaxing week in the Bluegill Bungalow. The porches were an unexpected pleasure. The wildlife was delightful to watch. If you want peace and quiet, visit Bluegill Bungalow.

Weekend at the bluegill Bungaloo

Nestled in the woods near lake Livingston ,Tx just a few miles from Coldspring , Tx is a true gem . The Bungaloo has a lot of character with modern amenities . Deer , squirrels , hummingbirds , and numerous lizards are available to entertain. The large windows allow you to enjoy the woods and creek , and cattle can be seen grazing in the pasture across the way . The host , Howard Ransom was very helpful , readily available via email or telephone . I highly recommend this retreat, and will be using it again

Bungalow of Joy

My husband and 12 yo son stayed in the bungalow over a weekend. We arrived at night, the place looked so inviting lit up. Seeing it in the day, made us light up. So much to see around the property and house, whimsical decor outside and in making it such a delight. Home was clean, linens smelled great, the owner has paid attention to detail to ensure you have a great stay.

Peaceful home

This was such a peaceful home to stay in. Loved having all the land to walk the dogs on. House had everything we needed. Large wrap around patio with plenty of seating. Peace and quiet. Great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Lake Livingston was easy to access (only a 7-minute drive to the marina).

Off the beaten path

What a super find! We took a quick trip to visit family and this property was just a quick drive to the quaint little town of Coldspring. The little bungalow was very welcoming and super clean. I was extremely happy with the accommodations and the attentiveness by the owner to make sure we were checked in and all set. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a bit of privacy.

Bliss!

We had the best couples get away! The house was so clean and the decor immediately relaxes you when you walk in the door. The owner is so sweet and checked on us to ask if we needed anything. The porch and kayaks are a great touch. We easily paddled out to the lake. The property is the perfect place to relax and unwind away from the city. We hope to return!!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Relaxing wkend away

Enjoyed the peace and quiet at the Bungalow. It's décor is cute and the place had everything we needed. The drought kept us from accessing the lake from the property, but we drove to the state park close by and were able to get in from there. Communication was good with owner. FYI... don't use Apple maps for directions, it will send you to the wrong house and doesn't have updated roads in this particular area.

Simply perfect!!

The Bluegill Bungalow is the most perfect place to go to unwind. Quietly nestled in the trees at the end of a road, this private bungalow is the perfect marriage between fairy-tale ans Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I needed a place to totally forget about work/life, to relax and rejuvenate. This was perfect!!! Cute, very clean, private and oh so relaxing. Perfect mother/daughter retreat...memories for a lifetime!! Thank you for such a wonderful getaway place!!! We will definitely be coming back again!!

Awesome place to stay

We reallt enjoyed our time at the "bungalow". The property was exactly as expected. We enjoyed use of the kayaks, went fishing and hiking at Livingston State Park, and found the hammocks and porch accommodations relaxing. The kitchen was very well furnished as was the other amenities. You can tell Howard, our host, takes great care in providing a wonderful experience. From the small nice touches of large spa towels, brand new dishes and other extras, there were so many positives. We will definitely be back. I recommend this cute stay for families, a girls trip or anyone looking to relax and get away.

A great weekend away

We had a great time at the bungalow! The place was very clean and well kept. It also was fully stocked with everything we could need, including a nice collection of DVDs which we enjoyed watching in the evenings. We spent a lot of time hanging out on the porch, reading/relaxing in the comfortable chairs/hammocks under the fans, as well as playing darts, frisbee, etc that came with the bungalow. We spotted some wildlife that we don't get to see often in the city including deer, fireflies, and a hummingbird. We also loved how close it is to Sam Houston National Forest. Overall it was a great weekend away for my family and not too far of a drive from our home.

Could not have asked for a better experience

From the moment we arrived we were greatly impressed. The property is beautiful and quiet. The amenities were more than expected. The bungalow was extremely clean and smelled great. The front and rear porches were our favorite place to relax, even in the heat of the day. The fans make a huge difference. The beds were extremely comfortable and the sheets and linens smelled great. It was the most relaxing few days we have experienced in that area of the lake. We are DEFINITELY going to keep this one at the top of our list for a quiet and relaxing getaway.

Private Tranquility

My wife and I (with our two dogs) really enjoyed our stay at the Bluegill Bungalow. The home is well decorated inside to make you feel at home and very well stocked. We really loved the front porch area watching the dog's run the yard while sippin some drinks to decompress and enjoy the sounds of nature and mini fountain pond. The hammock (there are 2) on the porch was very comfortable too! The bedrooms provide for one softer queen bed while the other is more firm - so you can select which fits you best. There is very nice lighting around the home at night which looks real nice and provides good securtiy lighting. Howard was great and was available for questions we had prior and during our stay. We will be back to enjoy again!

Beautiful and scenic bungalow, perfect for relaxation

My husband and I just had the pleasure of being the first guests in this bungalow. Having stayed in quite a few VRBOs, we thought we knew what to expect in terms of amenities. The bungalow is gorgeous and perfectly situated close to the lake, but not right on the lake. There are scenic views from the wraparound porch of a creek and a beautiful garden. We enjoyed the comfortable patio furniture last night while having a glass of wine and watching a thunderstorm. The place is stocked with hotel-like bathroom products, all the fresh towels and pillows you’d want, and they thoughtfully left condiments, bottles of water, and supplies for a hot tea/coffee station. The beds were so comfortable and I could have spent hours soaking in the jacuzzi tub. If you stay, be sure to check out the Paradise Grill in town for breakfast. We will definitely be returning.

Nature lovers retreat!

My husband and I had a 4 days without kids. We loved this secluded retreat. The night we arrived we sat on the front porch with a glass of wine and enjoyed the wildlife--lightening bugs, deer, birds even an owl landed on the fence to say Hello. We were not directly on the lake but had access through a little canal behind the house. This spring has been a wet one so the water was high enough for us to use the kayaks provided to paddle out to the lake and check it out. The lake was so quiet in the morning we only saw one boat on the water while we were out. Very enjoyable paddle. The house is well laid out and clean. We were only two people so we did not need all the furniture provided but I am sure if family was together it would be useful. The attention to detail was very appreciative. Everything from coffee provided to clean smelling plush towels were appreciated. Howard the owner was very helpful and communicated quickly. We picked up groceries in Huntsville before arriving and went into Livingston one evening (about a 20 minute drive)and had delicious fresh Mexican food at Hacienda Palomas. We hope to get a chance to do this again someday.

my new home away from home!

my husband and i loved this little bungalow jewel tucked away in the woods of Coldspring! Everything was perfect - the house is cozy, spotless and decor is perfect lakeside! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and enjoy our meals. Comfortable beds, perfect bathrooms, cozy couch!The front porch is perfect place to watch for the deer in the morning and evening. The full moon and a sky full of stars made evenings on the awesome front porch perfect. We will be visiting again soon!

Deer, Cows, Donkeys, Bunnies visited us everyday. We spent the weekend in Coldspring at the house and really loved the seclusion. This place is great! LOVE the views front and back. The interior is comfortable and inviting. We are thinking about coming back again. Thanks for sharing this VRBO with us.
