A Perfect Lake Weekend

Only one word "Perfect". We stayed here in October 2021 and only thing was the driveway being dirt and messy after a rain. Well it's now concrete, so stay there if you can, you won't be disappointed. Clean, well kept, and minutes from a launch ramp.

Breathtaking

I chose this listing for a bday getaway to unplug. Everything about this place is remarkable. Communication with the host was great. As soon as I sent a message, within 2 minutes I had a response. Only issued that was had was the TV updating in the bedroom and wouldn't work but other than that everything was great! The listing is FULLY stocked. Everything that you could possibly think of was there and accessible.

Awesome A-Frame!

I got busy after returning home and neglected to post this review sooner. Jason provides an exceptional property for ANY visiting the Shirley Creek area. This A-frame cabin is super clean and comfortable. It is well maintained and chock full of modern updates. The location is excellent for just relaxing on the huge deck and enjoying the birds, shade trees, and people watching. This is a quiet little neighborhood just before you get into the state park and you can see the road from the cabin deck. We weren't there for fishing and didn't have a boat, but I'm confident that I could have maneuvered a medium sized boat trailer and my truck back into the available parking area with no problem. Another post commented on the muddy parking and, sure enough, we arrived right after a downpour that ended a long dry spell. Things were damp and soggy, but VERY manageable and NOTHING like the gumbo mud we have here in Corpus Christi. If you are headed to Sam Rayburn for ANY reason, this property is a MUST for your stay!

Relaxing Weekend

The cabin was great. Getting checked in was a breeze, Jason had everything ready when we arrived. We enjoyed our stay, it was quiet and relaxing. Our only complaint and reason we didn't give it a 5 star was the parking. It rained and the parking is on mud, slick mud. If the parking area had been different, we would have given the stay a 6 star if possible.
