Peaceful waterfront house

Size was just right for 2 elderly parents and family of 4. We loved being right on the water. Slope down to the water was tricky for my father but stairs and railing were a plus! Read reviews regarding having issues with grass burrs; yes they're everywhere but it's nothing new to us. Kids asked to stray here again and probably would without our older parents.

You need to remove boat lift as an amenity _ it is inop and obviously been inop for a time Pans dirty- old coffee maker that barely works and takes forever to brew- back patio dirty and furniture full of spider webs- yard needs mowing and trimming- lot of money for a place that is borderline shabby

Relaxing family vacay

This was a perfect spot for our family of 5 and our dog! Our children enjoyed sp ending time swimming, fishing and kayaking while also having some of their usual creature comforts like WiFi. Mom and Dad were able to relax and enjoy spending quality family time. The backyard was fenced in which was great for our dog as well. The amenities included all the comforts of home.

Overall great mini vacation for the price.

We really had a great time, location was great, house had nearly everything and everything you could imagine. We loved the big inflatable island attached to the dock and spent most of our time there. Rooms were large. We appreciated being able to wash towels one night as there were newer washer dryer set and detergent. We had a family of deer come to the front yard one morning. Every kind of pot and pan you could imagine in the kitchen, 2 types of coffee machines for both pods and ground coffee, cups, dishes, silverware and all the cooking utensils, aluminum foil, cling wrap and a dual oven…but NO oven mitt. Had to use the the kitchen towel. And there were no extra kitchen trash bags. Had to go to the HEB 15 minutes away. Inside of house was super clean and tidy but the backyard had empty cans and water bottles, and used fishing line on the back porch. My daughter tried to use the jet tub and about 100 pieces of mold came shooting out into her bathtub so that was an no go. Only other complaint was the itchy sheets in the master bed. Mattress itself was super comfy but those sheets need to be replaced. We appreciated that Vacasa who manages the property was very responsive before and after our trip but during we didn’t get great response. Overall we had a blast and for the price we paid, I think it was definitely worth it. But if prices went up we probably would look elsewhere for next summer. Fingers crossed!

Wonderful place

Area's Retreat is wonderful! Very clean, comfortable and plenty of room. Great parking. We love that this house is on the upper quieter end of the lake. We spent most of our time on the back porch with a view of the water. The boat lift was a huge bonus and worked well. The boat ramp is just down the street and super close (it is tiny though and a $20 fee). We loved that we could bring our dogs and the whole backyard was fenced. If you swim off the dock, the ladder is not great. And the wifi was so bad that we had better service not using it. We spent more time looking at the views than our phones anyway. We will definitely be back!
