About this property

Entire place

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

Not a Resort. Not a Rental. Something Better…

You’ve been meaning to slow down. Reconnect. Get the family in the same place — without the screens, the schedules, the stress.

But somehow every trip ends up being more work than rest.

The rental looks great in photos… until it’s not.
The kids are bored. The adults are overwhelmed. You spend more time navigating logistics than making memories.

That’s why we built Jerob’s Place.
Five acres of private joy — recently renovated and upgraded with families in mind:
– A swim spa and pool just for your crew
– A movie room with Love Sacs and surround sound
– A scavenger hunt that leads to a real hidden room
– King’s Fortress playground with soft AstroTurf for wild, barefoot fun
– A zero-gravity massage chair when it’s your turn to recharge

At night, circle up at the custom-lit firepit.
Tell ghost stories. Share old memories.
Or just let the kids load up s’mores while the stars come out.
Every detail — from the sidewalks to the toy closets to the Curious George room — was reimagined to create ease, delight, and connection.
Yes, even your pets are welcome.

Spots fill fast, especially for reunions and holidays.
Reserve your stay now — and give your people a trip they’ll talk about for years.

Jerob's Place hosted by Comfy Spots Vacation Rentals.
Pets are allowed to come with you on your get-away. The pet fee is $100 per pet.

5 Stars-A Perfect Family Retreat at Jerob’s Place

We just got back from the most incredible stay at Jerob’s Place, and I can honestly say it was one of the best family trips we’ve ever had. This home was perfect for our big, multigenerational family. Our younger kids were completely obsessed with the Avengers room. They couldn’t get enough of the superhero pictures and were absolutely thrilled by the hidden treasure room, arcade, playground, and even a costume closet. The grandparents in our group spent hours on the back porch in the rocking chairs, taking in the peaceful view of the trees and marsh, listening to frogs, and just soaking in the quiet. They loved how easy it was to get around outside—from the house to the playground to the pool, it was all smooth and safe for both the littlest walkers and the more seasoned ones.For us parents, the house was incredibly spacious and thoughtfully set up. The oversized dining tables (inside and on the porch) made gathering for meals and games super easy. The kitchen had everything—we didn’t need to bring a single appliance, and the coffee bar with a grinder and French press was a wonderful surprise. The waffle bar setup was such a fun and appreciated touch too.The pool area really sealed the deal for us. It felt totally private and safe, and the setup with a shallow end and deeper was perfect. We loved every minute and are so thankful for the memories made here. Can’t recommend it enough—we’re already talking about when we can come back.

Family Union

The house was plenty large enough for our family group and had great communal space for gathering, meals, games. The setting was lovely- water views, playground for kids and pool. The outside spaces needed clean up- we had to clean all outside furniture before using and some of the cushions were not usable. Though we did not opt to have the pool heated we were not expecting it to be dirty and unusable at all. Perhaps the seasonal clean up has not been done? I would also suggest toilets be replaced with handicap height- these were extremely short and small. Enjoyed our stay- had great fun with our family and that is what we came for!

Wonderful Inside and Out

We had a group of 16 co workers and we all had a comfortable space without feeling like we were on top of each other. Lisa was easy to contact and quick to reply. There were even 2-3 "extra" fun things that helped make staying at the house a fun experience. We didn't have any kids, but it would be so fun for families!!

Great Vacation

Our family absolutely loved our experience at this house! The owners have gone well out of their way to have things to do while staying. Our 13 year old niece LOVED the scavenger hunt!!!!Our 4 year old niece LOVED the toys and things for her to play/play on. And was totally into the dress-up closet!We all LOVED the amount of room we had. And we’re thankful there was a Christmas tree up for Christmas Really, the only way to improve would be maybe make sure all the light bulbs are working and make sure all the pots and pans are induction stove compatible.We've discussed coming back here in the summer!

Jameson Family Christmas

Our group of 18 loved everything about our stay. With ages ranging from 2 to 78, it's hard to find any location that has interests for all, but this one did. There was room for each group to take part in the activity of their choice without being on top of others and their interests. The kids especially loved the stay - they were busy from the time they opened their eyes until they closed them at night. They're already asking to do it again next Christmas!! Highly recommend to groups of all sizes/ages.

Beautiful property with lots to do

This house is both gorgeous and comfortable. Kitchen is great for cooking and there are plenty of areas to relax. Pool and pool house are very nice. Everything from lights to ceiling fans and tvs are all controlled with multiple remotes, so be prepared to spend some time figuring everything out and not all of it has good instructions. Check the temps of the pool or swim spa upon arrival and adjust them so they have time to warm up.

Hideout Place

We made the most of our time there and mostly enjoyed hanging out in the hot tub. I wish we had known beforehand that we didn't have access to the lake or that we couldn’t go fishing or kayaking. The additional cost to heat the pool was unknown. It was a bummer that the lights around the pool did not work during our stay. Also, watch out for the sprinkler that runs along the sidewalk makes it very slippery in some areas, our daughter actually slipped so be careful. The swamp access area was another area of concern which anyone can fall in and it also seemed sketchy. The house looked outdated and the lawn was not well maintained, so be careful of critters. The creepiest room was the kids hideout place behind a bookshelf, the whole group thought it was creepy and even the little door in the bathroom. We definitely didn't like the fact that most of the doors didn't have locks, including the bathrooms. We made the best of the experience, but we were all disappointed.

The house was more than large enough for the 16 of us. The pool was wonderful and we used it everyday. The kitchen was big enough for some us to cook and others to sit and talk while we were cooking. The kids and teens loved the movie room. We played lots of games at the large dining room table.

Star Gaze at this East Texas Home

I chose this property because of the great reviews. The amenities offered for my children and grandchildren were also important in my decision. Upon rental and before we arrived prompt communication with the owner was very much appreciated. Instructions for home entry, parking, etc were very clear. This house is in a beautiful, quiet community. There was plenty of room inside this large house. The outdoor amenities made it easy to sit and look at the night sky where the stars really are big and bright! Kitchen amenities were good. The coffee/tea bar was a nice touch. Coffee beans were available to grind. Other coffee “tools” such as the French press were a plus. The grandkids loved the pancake and waffle bar with owner supplied syrup and pancake mix. (thank you!) There were many activities for the grandkids such as arcade games, movies, books, and kayaks. The massage chair was a hit with the adults. The swim spa was nice and clean. There were a few minor issues that needed attention before our stay. However, in speaking with the owner after our stay he assured me that these issues were resolved. I'm rating this five stars because of the property amenities and beautiful location. This was just what I was looking for to have a great getaway enjoyed by my family.

We had a multi-generational get together at this home. Kids and adults had a great time. The check in was at 4pm. We got there at 5:30 and cleaning crew was still on premises which was a bit disconcerting seeing multiple cars parked in the driveway, but they were finished and very helpful.

Great house for a family gathering!

There are so many things to do on the property for a family of all ages. We had our 6 grandchildren there ranging from 7 years old to infant along with the adults. They had so much fun with all the toys and books and fun playground. The adults were afforded some quiet time while the kids all watched movies in the movie room (which is a great space)! The rooms were very nice and the kids loved the bunk rooms and toddler room. It was very helpful that there were baby gates provided too. The kitchen is spacious and worked well for our family meals and the tables accommodated all of us. It was a nice get away. Communication was very quick and easy with Lisa and Jeff. If you’re headed to that area, we highly recommend staying at Jerob’s Place.

You can't ask for a better family oriented property from the movie room, to the games available, to the play castle and the pool. This property has it all for all ages. But the best part is the property owners who stayed in communication with us throughout the process answering all our questions.
