Everything was thought of in this wonderful cottage/cabin. Impecable cleanliness and top of the line amenities. Kayaks and Paddle boats were used each day and although not a single fish was caught, a great time was had by all. Will definitely be back!

This place was perfect!! We rented it for 2 nights to celebrate our 21st anniversary. Close proximity to Lake Livingston State Park and Livingston. We also visited the Johnsons Rock Shop in Indian Springs East of Livingston. The neighborhood is very peaceful and quite. You can hear the birds chirping in the morning, see squirrels playing and enjoy the beautiful lake view. We did not fish or build a fire as it was a drizzly weekend but we very much enjoyed the stay. The cottage has all the essentials and then some. I also got two bullseye on the dart board!! Very nice place to stay. Wr highly recommend!!!!

Everything was fantastic! This VRBO had more pots and pans, kitchen, utensils, and a full spice rack, which I have never seen before in a rental.The deck and lake are picturesque. It wasn’t quite cool enough for a fire, but the fire pit is perfectly situated beneath the stars.All in all five stars aren’t enough to give this property! I can’t wait to go back.

Relaxing getaway

This peaceful lake side property was clean, thoughtfully stocked and a wonderful place to relax for the weekend. We enjoyed coffee on the dock listening to birds each morning, and kayaking in the afternoon. And spent our evenings around the large fire pit.

Wonderful home and everything was so wonderful. Well stocked, within delibe3ry for Walmart so we just got there and had groceries delivered. Only issue was i forgot to get pancake syrup. Definitely not the properties fault! Kods loved the kayaks and peddle boats. It was so cold we had to bump up the heat. I bet it is a very lovely home in the summer as well. We streamed tv, played many games at the location, and i loved cooking in the kitchen. Very relaxing place to stay!

Absolutely enjoyed the weekend, even with a little rain. Will be booking this place several times a year! The house is extremely well kept and comfortable. Had a great time playing darts on the back porch. The fire pit area was amazing in the evening. Enjoyed taking the kayaks out with my son to go fishing.
