House was very cute and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and really nice. The property was great, we enjoyed the backyard, the screened in porch, back porch and hot tub. Unfortunately the lake levels were low which we already had expected, so I can’t hold that against the host. There are many opportunities to still get some fishing in off-site. It was very clean and the host was friendly and responsive.

We had a wonderful getaway at this property. It was clean and spacious - it would be perfect for two couples and a bunch of kids. Communication was great. Our dog enjoyed the fenced yard (but if your dog is tiny or jumps over fences it may not keep your dog in). We enjoyed the lake view and hot tub. Something to know: as of March 2026 the lake level is quite low.

We absolutely loved this house. The neighborhood was peaceful & friendly. We spent lots of time in the back year in the deck or in the sitting area with a TV, the screen room, and the hot tub! My son loved the extra bedroom in the garage, and we loved the bed & rain shower in the master bedroom. We were down fo spring break, and to visit our son at TVCC. We visited Triple N Ranch Winery, Russel Stovers in Corsicana, the fish hatchery, and the aboretom botanical garden, & the TVCC rodeo. Our favorite thing was evening walks to the boat landing to see the sunset! Needless to say we can’t wait to visit again!

The house was perfect for what we needed. Inside is clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the hot tub. The only thing that would have made it even better is if there weren’t so many spider webs throughout the outside patio and deck area. This home is great for a summer get away at the lake!
