Lakeshore Lodge - Waterfront at Lake Sam Rayburn

We had a fantastic stay at this VRBO! Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish—quick, clear, and very helpful, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free.The house itself was beautiful, clean, and exactly as described. It had everything we needed and more. It was the perfect space for our group of six, offering plenty of room to unwind and relax after long days of work.We truly appreciated the comfort and attention to detail, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommend!

Beautiful house, I would stay there again.

While the name implies you will be facing water on the lake, this property actually faced a dry cove that supposedly holds water when lake levels are higher. That said, our objective for this stay was to have a place with space for a family reunion, not fishing off the bank of the lake. From that standpoint, this property delivered. There were multiple sleeping options and large rooms plus an outdoor deck to allow group gatherings. Kitchen was very well equipped and the house had two refrigerators and a large pantry to store food and supplies. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

I've really debated about making this review. I've stayed in many vacation homes and never given a bad review. However, I must say I was somewhat disappointed in some things. First off, we rented this house so we could be right on the lake. When we arrived, there was no water in the lake due to them working on the dam. We had to walk probably 200 yards to get to the lake. I totally understand it not being y'all's fault they were working on the dam, but you're renting the house as waterfront, so you should let your guest know before renting. Starter items, we had to dig under the cabinet just to find one dishwasher pod, and you only get one trash bag. The carpet in the living room is very stained and needs to be cleaned. The walkway to the front door was covered in pine needles when we arrived. Down at the firepit there were beer cans laying on the ground. The firepit needs to be replaced it's completely rusted out there's no bottom to it just a ring around the top. The house is very dated but that's okay other than that it was pretty clean. I just think for what you are charging your guest to stay there you should do a lot better.

The house was great for a large family. There was ample sleeping space and they kitchen was appointed very well. The second refrigerator was a bonus! We really enjoyed our stay!
