Lake House Retreat-Magical Stay For All Ages-Boats, Firepit, Hammocks and More

Beautiful home and lake view, amazing layout and everything needed for a wonderful lake experience. Rich and Carol are fabulous hosts and we highly recommend this property. We hope to come back in the summer. 😊❤️

My wife and absolutely loved this location. This was one of the best places we’ve vacationed at and I would go back in a second. The house is wonderful and right up against the lake. It’s well covered by trees and has everything you need to enjoy a quick getaway. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive. This is a great place and I look forward to going back.

The Lake House was perfect for our family get together. It was so relaxing and the owners were available when needed. It was also beautiful there. Quiet and serene. We peddle-boated, paddle boarded, kayaked and canoed as well as fished off the pier. We had a blast and would definitely return!

Our crew of 4 adults, 2 teens and 2 dogs had a wonderful stay! Even though the weather was colder and wetter than expected, we were able to spend time on the water in kayaks, canoe, pedal boat and paddle boards. We also enjoyed the many outdoor areas on the property, including the comfy lounge chairs on the dock (great spot to read and watch a storm come in). Inside, there was plenty of room to find a quiet corner to read, a well stocked kitchen for cooking, and good space to eat, and play cards and dominoes all together. We also found lots to do nearby including Trade Days in Livingston, a beautiful hike on Beaver Slide Trail (part of the Big Thicket National Preserve), a trip to Livingston Lake State Park and delicious BBQ at Florida's. These were all within about 20 minutes of the lakehouse. The hosts were very pleasant and super quick to respond to any questions.

This stay was a great three day getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We really enjoyed the cabin and overall it was great experience. Here are the pros and cons:Pros: plenty of room for our party of 5 Full suite in both up and down stairs Great views of the lake Direct access to lake Quiet and relaxing 2 floating decks A lot of boats to rent Fire pit Grills Fully loaded back yard with life jackets, outdoor toys, hammocks, firewood, fishing poles, towels All linens were clean and provided All paper goods provided House was cleaned before arrival Easy check in and out Fun, funky decor Good WiFi Lots of indoor games Very responsive host Dog friendly, made our dog feel welcome Cons: Boats are not provided with the booking, they must be rented House was clean but not deep clean( we found items and food from other guest under furniture Outdoor areas are very cluttered There are a lot of tripping hazards inside and outside Upstairs porch railing is very wide and a small child or dog could easily fall Neighbors dogs barked at us a lot Upstairs bathtub cracked and needs replacing. Upstairs bathroom plumbing is placed above downstairs bed. My teens loved this place and already want to return.

Any possible activity you can think of, they have it! Boat, kayaks/canoes, 3 docks...yes 3! Foosball, movies, games, books, hammocks, a golf green, even a guitar and amp. They have simply everything! No doubt I've forgotten items, shoot I'm not even sure i saw it all. Add to that, the hosts are so thoughtful. When symmer gets her, I'll be going back!

This lake house is in Linda Lynn Lake a small private lake surrounded by beautiful trees. Each morning we took our coffee to the dock to listen to the woodpeckers, watch the turtles and enjoy the view. Every photo on this listing is accurate! Bring everything you need because you won’t want to leave. We happily did not move our cars for a week. The property has everything you need. Outside there is lots of seating and a hammock. It was absolutely the best place to unplug and turn off your devices. The lake is beautifully calm and without power boats so you can swim or float. This is my 2nd time staying here and I can’t wait to go back again.

My family of four and my mother enjoyed our time here the week between Christmas and New year’s. The setting is peaceful and beautiful. So many fun little seating areas to enjoy time. But we found the weather to be great and spent most of our time on the dock visiting, reading, playing with the neighbor’s puppies, relaxing. We kayaked and enjoyed the paddle boat. I bet summer would be great here! The hammocks were nice. The home had all we need. Carol was so responsive and helpful and supportive. It made for a nice stay. We played Foosball, Pac-Man and galactica, games, cards, watched some movies or games. There are also darts inside (magnetic) and outside. So many extras here! We had all of our meals in. We did enjoy some time antiquing in Livingston and the nearby Dollar General the opposite way came in handy. The beds were comfy. Heat kept up with the cold nights. Had all the towels and bedding and pillows we needed. Kitchens well-appointed. The house is on a hillside and there are stairs in the house as well as down to the lake. Keep that in mind before booking if that would be a problem for you or your guests. Great private lake. A great getaway! Thanks, Carol!

This place was everything I could’ve hoped for. It was my wife’s birthday, and I really wanted to take her someplace away from worries where she could enjoy nature and we’d also be able to bring our dog. This place was so beautiful and relaxing, very spacious, and had everything we needed to enjoy our small vacation! It’s very clean inside, there’s a kitchen upstairs and downstairs, and they have all the tools necessary to cook something up. They also have plenty of water toys you can rent from them to have some fun in the water, as well as a fire pit and seats to enjoy some s’mores or just hang out and enjoy nature. Richard and Carol were very helpful anytime I had any questions and they were also very accommodating. I can’t thank you enough! We will definitely be back with friends and family!

My family enjoyed four nights at this home in mid-March and enjoyed every moment. The owners are wonderful, extremely thoughtful and go the extra mile for their guests to feel comfortable and welcome. Our family enjoyed HOURS on the lake in all the boats available. The lake is very small, quiet and peaceful. My husband and kids also spent so much time fishing and were very successful. I loved spending time reading in the lounge chairs on the dock. There is so much to do in the house and opportunities to have fun together. The beds in the house are super comfortable, I wish I could have brought the downstairs bed home with me!

The property was clean and I loved that there are 2 units with separate entrances. This allowed for separation of space in the evening. The property literally has everything you need and then some. The indoor games were awesome and allowed for some friendly competition. The outdoor area is shady, perfect for a warm August day. The family loved the pedal boat and canoe which were great for the beautiful lake. We did plenty of swimming, floating and fishing. And yes, we did catch fish from the dock. And the owners were great. They answered quickly and were friendly at all times.

The VrBo was so relaxing! We all enjoyed it including our dog. There were activities for everyone to do of all ages! The only thing was that there was bugs in the restrooms but again may come with the area and wasn’t horrible overall would recommend and will definitely be back!

The pictures don’t do this property justice. It was so much more than we expected. The walk to the house was covered with beautiful trees. The house was clean and just perfect. There are so many places to sit and take in the views. Multiple balconies, decks and boat decks. We loved the peddle boat and enjoyed fishing. The property is well maintained and can accommodate groups. The downstairs suite was amazing. I can’t believe we were only one hour from Houston. The lake is so quiet. The only noises we heard were woodpeckers and owls. It was the perfect getaway! The owners were so awesome and prompt with responding to all of our questions and needs.

Overall experience at the Lakehouse retreat was pleasant. While it wasn’t perfect my family would return. We did have a few suggestions that would have made the stay even better. The grounds with my pets were lack luster. Too many spider webs “everywhere” as if they’d never had been cleaned. There was no Landscaping done which was frustrating because we literally had to pick up poop, clean and wash off chairs due to spider webs etc. The layer of leaves on the yard caused me concern of ticks for dogs. We u set stand leaves fall but again knowing we were staying would have been nice to have been cleaned up. Equipment in the closet was hard to get to again as if no one had touched it in months. We wanted to spend time outside which is what we booked this. The paddle board was falling apart as far as the paint and liner on the board. I loved using it either way because we made the best of it. Inside the accommodations were good. Downstairs it was a bit unnerving to hear the pipes every time someone used tue bathroom. The wifi and TV never worked. We could never log into our apps or watch TV. My son loved foosball and the arcade games. The kitchen downstairs were accommodating being right next to patio. We had all we need to cook and the temperature in the room was good once we figured out the AC. All the tape markings were rubbed off so it was hard to know what it all meant. The add’l accommodations were unfortunate. There was a beautiful hammock with no instructions how to use it or put it up. The Matt on the floor for addl slewing were very uncomfortable. My son ended up sleeping on the little couch. Upstairs the accommodations were good. My family enjoyed the space. The main issue was watching shows or football games. We had hoped to watch 2 Mai games and it kept freezing or going out. We could not log into our apps. Which caused issues for the family. With how much we rely on technology the devices on the wifi slowed it down extremely. So overall we had a good stay out hope is the feedback provided could help improve the next visitor and possibly us in the future. Thank you for sharing your home.

It was lots of stairs twist and turns . We didn’t understand the water drippings in our bed when the upstairs was being used but overall great stay. Loved the scenery from the peddle boat.

Everything was as described. We had all we needed to enjoy a weekend of peace and tranquility. Enough room for 6 people and our dogs. We all enjoyed the weekend relaxing outside by the water or on the water. Would definitely be happy to come back, I’ve already had several friends ask for the info to this property since being back. Highly recommend!

It is not in the best neighborhood and parking is not ideal. The kitchen was good and well equipped. There was no TV service so bring a Ruko if you want to watch anything other than CD's they have. The kids liked the foosball and the firepit was good. The plumbing pipes are exposed downstairs so whenever anyone flushed the comode upstairs it comes through pipes in the room downstairs and is loud. The downstairs bathroom and bed are actually in the large downstairs room and are separated by curton. You pay extra to use the canoe's and stand up board. The washer and dryer are in a building in the back of the house and are not available for you use. We had a person who got wet and I called and they did give me the code to get into the laundry room.For a rustic get away retreat it works.

These were all within about 20 minutes of the lakehouse. The hosts were very pleasant and super quick to respond to any questions.

There is something magical about this place. The lake is beautiful and serene. All the water toys really make it worth it. Everybody had something to be in the water. So fun. In the evening, games abound the dining table. It's my favorite family place and the folks that host it... fabulous! They are quick to answer questions and never make you feel like your annoying. They were fabulous. This was my second time here. Almost want to play it down so it will available (ha), but want others to experience it too.

It was a wonderful stay all the accommodations were above and beyond.Speaking with Richard and Carol was very simple and they made our family vacation wonderful we will definitely be back very soon.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LAKE HOUSE SEE YALL AGAIN SOON

We took our kids here for a week long summer vacation. This stay was amazing. Our kids loved the paddle boards and my husband and I had a great time fishing. We would come back! Bonus: The hosts are incredible. I’ve never had such quick response time from hosts and we stay at quite a few rental homes every year!

The owners were beyond accommodating!!! They were super quick to respond to questions and gave helpful and fun tips. We rented the boats/kayaks and had so much fun!!! The area outside is perfect for everyone, they have so many different areas to hang out❤️. The beds were so comfy, I was super worried because I forgot my pillow at home, but there’s were great. We are looking forward to our next visit💕

My friend and I needed a base camp for a fishing trip on the Trinity River and a nice place to cook a nice dinner and relax at the end of the day. We were within 10 to 30 minutes of all the boat launches where we meet our guides, and came back to a well equipped kitchen and charcoal grill to prepare a nice fresh fish dinner. We’d sit on the dock dunking worms to end each evening. We will be back!

You will want for nothing. Everything and then some is provided. The location is peaceful and private. My husband fished and we all enjoyed getting out on the water. We only left the property once, and that was to go into Goodrich to Gokeys store. That is a cute place to shop. The home owners are very responsive to any issues that come up. We all enjoyed our stay and would love to return.

Everything we expected and more. All was great and relaxing. Plenty of stuff to keep the kids entertained and the views were outstanding.

This location is perfect for a getaway. The property is amazing & has many amenities to entertain everyone regardless of what you like doing. The big pedal boat is an absolute must when going out on the lake. I highly recommend anyone trying to get away from the rush of the day to day to come here & experience the views, peace, & beauty.

My Grandnephew and I spent the day fishing on the Trinity River and the afternoons and evens relaxing at the dock with fishing lines in the water. The listing is a good description of what you will experience.

Totally enjoyed the stay, grand kids and children felt at ease to fish, bbq, run around and play. Everything you needed was there. Lighting was awesome !
