The house itself was very enjoyable. There was ample space for our group of nine and we really enjoyed the large living space to not feel cramped. While eating outside on the wrap around porch is nice sometimes, it's impossible for the entire group to eat together, especially inside. While the listing states that there's only one bathroom, I must have skipped that when reading the home was fit for ten people. While we made it work, it definitely made the weekend more challenging. The dock was nice for fishing, but I wouldn't recommend swimming. The water plants are more overgrown than the pictures show, which can happen with seasonality, but it didn't feel safe to swim without getting legs caught and the plant life brought a plethora of turtles. Be warned if you plan to fish that you'll catch so many turtles too. This location is great if you want a relaxing weekend to sit by a fire or play games like charades inside and is super close to the bridge to get over to Louisiana. But I wouldn't recommend this lake as a vacation destination as there isn't even boat rental places nearby, you need to bring all your own stuff. That's not on the property, just affected our overall weekend.
Overall, I would recommend this home, we felt very comfortable and safe.

Great location near local fishing and tackle spots. Between to close parks to take kids swimming. House was clean and cozy. A market basket was about half a mile away. Had stuff for children to keep entertained. Will definitely stay here again

A great place. Very happy we stayed here. We have stayed at many different vrbo's around the lake area. Other places we have stayed, haven't always turned out to be what we were expecting. We found this listing to be completely accurate and what you see in the listing is what you get. We loved the location, privacy, lake access and boat launch. The owners are great and easy to reach.

This is a very nice home, and the property is somewhat private with woods lined on each side of the property line all the way down to the dock.
The first thing you wanna do is just get out of the vehicle and stand in the backyard looking at the lake. Well maintained property and home.
Very nice Kitchen and appliances ,has been updated recently and had everything we needed.
We enjoyed eating out on the balcony, where there is a table and plenty of comfortable seating.
I brought my boat, the boat dock with boatlift was a big plus, and you don’t have to worry about tying up the boat too much. It is protected from the wind here.
Sleeping at night was very comfortable and quiet. Living room has large TV with plenty of channels to choose from, Wi-Fi was great to use since phone service can be somewhat challenged in East Texas. Everything about this booking and using property was easy and minimal communication to the host was needed. Thanks

We have nothing but compliments for Amy and her cozy rental property! It’s an absolutely lovely property. It was very clean and had all the amenities needed for a wonderful getaway. It’s very spacious and all the extras like playing cards and gaming system was a great addition. My grandson loved it. The neighborhood is so quiet and the boat launch was literally a couple minutes away. We will definitely be repeat renters! Thank you Amy!!

Had a enjoyable stay at shore thing. The property was well kept up inside and out. Recently updated with nice features made it feel like a brand new home. Had everything available in the kitchen and batch that we needed for our three night stay.Beds were comfortable and had plenty of room for four adults and two kids. Plenty of room for parking even with a boat or two. Easy access to neighborhood boat launch which was also nice and maintained. Nice dock with electricity and covered boat slip. Doesn’t get much better than this place and can’t wait to go back.

Everything was amazing! The host answered all of our questions before our stay almost instantly and without hesitation. The only thing that could have made it better, would have been a ladder on the boat dock to get out of the water for people swimming. Overall it was amazing!
