Had a wonderful vacation in what turned out to be a magical location. So many things to do, so little time. Joyce is the ultimate host. Anything and everything was well thought out and her assistance during the visit was amazing. If you are looking for a tremendous get-away, this is the place for you. Cant wait to return.

We have stayed at several lake houses in Texas over the last couple of years, and this by far is our favorite. Great location on the lake with calm water and a beautiful view of the sunsets. The gazebo with the furniture and fire pit was such a relaxing area. The dock is covered and was great for fishing. The dock kitchen is a plus for cold beverage storage and a sink to wash hands. It was cooler weather for our stay so we didn’t use any lake toys, but there were plenty to take advantage of: kayak, paddle board, water shoes, life jackets, etc. The house was very clean, beds were super comfortable, gas fireplace was a plus, kitchen clean and well stocked. We used the grills (gas and pellet) every night right on the porch off of the kitchen. Circle drive gave us plenty of parking space for multiple cars. Grass and landscaping is all well maintained. We loved “doc at the bay” and plan to bring our family for another relaxing getaway soon!!

This lake property is truly something special. The views are beautiful, and it’s so peaceful and quiet — a great place to relax and unwind. There’s plenty to do too, whether it’s being out on the water, fishing, or just enjoying the scenery. Can't wait to come back!!

This is a beautiful home in a charming and immaculately maintained community. The view of the lake is wonderful, especially at sunset. We had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. 5 stars, would rent again.

We loved the place! It is beautiful, spacious, and comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of pots, pans, dishes and spices. Snacks and a bottle of wine welcoming us was a lovely touch. We particularly enjoyed fishing and sitting by the fire. We definitely want to come back!!
