Lake Conroe Lakefront Home

Very nice house with covered deck, dock and boat lift. Great view of the lake. Nice location on the lake in a quiet neighborhood. I stayed for a month for the second year and hope i can come again next year. Plenty of space for 10 people. Very thoroughly cleaned. The house manager and owners are very friendly and very responsive. I highly recommend this vacation house for one person or for family gatherings.

Conroe Lake Trip

We have been on Conroe many times but this is the first time to rent a house. There are lots of Condo options but we really didn’t want to be “near people”. This was such a great find. Right on the water with boat tie up. Sunset views and good bit of shade. Two things that impressed us the most was the cleanliness and host communication. We hope to be back.

Mom's 101st Birthday Getaway

My family rented this lakehouse for 4 nights for my mom's 101st birthday celebration. It was just as advertised. The view was the greatest and it was so nice just having coffee out on the covered porch. There were actually 2 tables for eating outside on the back porch which were not in the photos and rails going down the steps to the water which were not pictured. Both were a great surprise. Hosts were very nice and the place was perfect! Would stay here again and recommend to our family and friends.

Worth a return stay.

A beautiful home wrapped on two sides with a covered deck stocked with tables, chairs, umbrella, grill, and an outside rinsing shower. The kitchen is well stocked making it easy to prepare large meals and the dining table sits 8-10 people. A half bath is conveniently located by the kitchen. Master bedroom and bath are on the main floor and sleeping accommodations for 8-10 others are on the second floor (three separate bedrooms and an open area with trundle and murphy beds) with two full bathrooms and a laundry closet. There are plenty of towels in the bathrooms and kitchen linen, too. Two areas on the second floor offer lovely sunset and full moon vistas. The owners and neighbor are personable, helpful, and thoughtful. One would be cheating themselves out of a great, relaxing vacation home. We are returning!

Home away from home!

The house has everything you will need for a getaway (and then some). I felt like the owners went above most VRBO's in what was supplied. I would highly recommend for family gatherings. The house is located in a quiet area (with the exception of one evening where neighbors were a bit rowdy; just bring earplugs). Overall, a great experience!
