Bluegill Cottage was amazing. We went here for a quiet relaxing weekend and that is just what we got. From s'mores around the fire to jumping into the lake. Lots of great memories were made here. And the lake house was the perfect size for our group of six. Tuan was also an amazing host! It was taking a little longer than usual to cool off the house and since he couldn't get anyone to come check the air conditioner that day, he did not hesitate to come over & make sure it was running properly. We will definitely be going back!

Awesome getaway!

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. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about staying!

A Peaceful Retreat

I was looking for something quiet and peaceful to celebrate my husbands birthday. It was a great location, very peaceful, and right on the lake that allowed my husband time to do his favorite hobby - fishing. Will definitely be back again.

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.

We had a fantastic time during our stay at this property!

The cozy and inviting atmosphere of the home made it the perfect setting for family meals, conversations, and just relaxing together. The location was ideal—quiet and peaceful, yet conveniently close to everything we wanted to explore.The hosts were attentive and responsive, ensuring we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

Wonderful place

This place was a great spot for us to stay while visiting family in Texas. Enjoyed the decks, kayaks, and paddle boat as well as the fire pit. Only negative is that with the hard water in the area you have to use a lot of bottled water and there isn't any recycling. Nothing that this place can help, but perhaps knowing that I can come better prepared if we were to stay here again. Owner was very communicative and thought of everything. Truly a lovely place.
