Great property for large groups.
We stayed at this property for our Senior Trip. There was so much to do between fishing, the pool and the game room. The kids had a great trip. The property was perfect for our group of 18.

Great for a family reunion if you aren't too fussy
This is a beautiful property overall. It is right on the lake, and has a covered (but cobwebby) dock where you can watch the sunset. The amazing deck area has a built in firepit and seating. The pool area is lovely as well, and a lot of fun for the kids.The house is HUGE! Having 12 bedrooms was perfect for our group of 35+. The kids loved the game room, and having two large living areas was great for spreading out. That being said, this is not a luxury property. There are weird quirks and oversights. The doorknobs are tricky and some of the light switches are broken. The countertops in the kitchen are cracked. There were only one scrubber and two hand towels total for 2 kitchens (no dish rags or pot holders at all!). One bedroom has a motion sensitive light that turns on every time you shift in bed. There are gorgeous porch and pool areas that have virtually no seating (we were sitting on our coolers since there were no chairs). Some of the arcade games were broken, there were no air hockey pucks, and the ping pong table net was broken. If you can overlook these things, it is a great property. If these things are going to drive you crazy, don't book. Overall, we're glad we stayed since it was a good value for the amount of space. But a little more attention to detail would go a long way.

Strategic Offsite
This house is as amazing as it sounds. We utilized the house for a work offsite and it was perfect. The ample bedrooms and bathrooms made it easy to have 10 co-workers housed in the same location while providing everyone their own personal space. The amenities are great, being right on the lake with your own boat house, made it easy to rent a pontoon and jet skies. The private pool and outdoor decks are great for hanging out in the cooler temperatures. The 2 kitchens are fully stocked and made meal prep a breeze. The best part was the service. The host is very responsive and attentive. We noticed that one section of the house wasn't cooling when we arrived and notified them. They were out immediately and resolved the issue. I highly recommend this house for larger family gatherings or work retreats, as there is plenty to do for entertainment, plenty of space for connecting and relaxing. I can't wait to get back there again in the future.

Needs some TLC
Great spot for our family reunion for 32 people. The bedrooms and bathrooms worked well for our numbers. The layout of rooms is strange, and some rooms are disconnected from the main area. The pool was a wonderful addition added after our booking. However, the pump was broken and we had family members working on it to help clear up the pool throughout our stay. Beach box did send people to shock and clean the pool, but the pump being broken meant the shock didn't last long. The house itself was not clean. There were spider webs and dust everywhere. The bathroom in the bunk room was not clean and smelled horrible. The dock had fish pieces on the counter and the dock refrigerator couldn't be used as it was filthy. Poles and other equipment pictured were missing. The entire outdoor area had not been swept or cleaned, including the grill. The outdoor garbage had trash in it without a bag. Bedding was missing on several beds, they only had a mattress cover and a comforter. Towels were limited and we only had a handful of facecloths. The kitchens were oddly stocked and not organized or cleaned. The communication prior to our trip was limited. Several questions were unanswered. The response once we arrived was quick but not extremely helpful. We were told someone would come clean, then it was pushed to the next day, so we cleaned it ourselves. We left the place cleaner than it was. Towels were brought to us and apologies made. A new cleaning company will help with most issues.

Very disappointed
A week prior to our reservation, I sent two questions through VBRO and never received responses. The house is beautiful, and the space and pool are fantastic. Unfortunately, so many things (ice makers, light bulbs, dryer, disposal, sink drain, TV remotes) were non-functional, and the game room that looked so great had broken or missing parts to almost all games: No air hockey puck, broken ping pong table, etc. Rooms with no working lights (probably bulbs), a shower with no handle, and other problems were everywhere. Yard service came during our reservation. Finally, the A/C in part of the house quit working the day before our check-out. I called the assistance number and was assured help was on the way. Six hours and a lot of sweat later, I told them not to send help. We were checking out in the morning, and I was not waiting up for maintenance. House locks are so worn they hardly work, so not only did we have trouble getting in, we couldn't lock up when we left.

Disappointed
The pictures on the website are fantastic and this place looks like someone spent a lot of money to make it nice but it has not been kept up well. We sent a long list to the owner and they did send a maintenance guy out to fix what he could but it was disappointing to pay so much money for a nice place and have to find problems in almost every room in the house. It was also not very clean when we arrived. We rent a big house like this regularly for our large family vacations and this one was not worth the money in my opinion.

Needs upgrades
We stayed for a women's retreat. I am going to start this review with the positives. Home was in a great location, it was spacious and a/c unit worked well. Lots of dishes for cooking which is a huge plus for rentals. Now here is where we have to highlight some issues. Rental was not cleaned properly, there were bugs in beds(not bedbugs) maybe beetles, bugs all over stairs in master room, carpets, furniture and rugs were filthy. Even bedspreads had stains. Property shows signs of neglect especially with furniture new cleaners that take pride in their work is needed, needs major furniture upgrades. A house of this magnitude should have more pride taken in it. Also pool cleaners didn't come until the end of our last day. Overall nice location, plenty of space but definitely needs work.

Would not recommend
I'll start with the positives. Beautiful location with sunrises/sunsets, plenty of space to accommodate large groups, plus a large game room. Property management quickly responded to messages and was easy to reach. Now the negatives (all of which were brought to the attention of property management throughout our stay via pictures and emails). The house was not clean. There were mouse droppings in the kitchen cabinets and drawers. We found an old bag of donuts in the cabinets and old sugar caked in a container on the counter. There were items in several bedroom drawers, including screws and clothing). The master bath shower and one sink did not drain properly. Also the homeowner was installing a pool on the side of the house, to which we were told would not impact our stay. However, when we arrived there were trucks and workers moving about the property. Though we asked that work cease during our stay, we were told the work would continue. Workers were on sight everyday to include pouring gunite at 6:30AM on Saturday morning with several workers and 5-6 commercial trucks accessing the yard and driveway. The only thing the property management offered was to come by to look at the master shower and sink; however, we declined because we felt our family reunion trip was intruded upon enough and we opted to use other available sinks/showers. There's more but suffice it to say I would not stay at this house again or recommend it.

Amazing property and So much fun!!
One of our best big family vacations! The property is so big that it has something for everyone! Even though the water level of the lake was too low for boating we found things to do. The bunkroom was a hit for all ages. The beds/bedding were comfortable. The finishes inside and out were so nice and pretty. The two fully equipped kitchens and 2 dens were perfect for a large group. The multiple bedrooms & bathrooms accommodated all. Bring your own towels ;) The patios/decks outside were so relaxing. The area was easy to get to, quiet and overall a FUN time! The owner communicated constantly and professionally. A wonderful experience and vacation!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. There was plenty of room to stretch out and every couple had a private bedroom. The game room and pool table were a hit. Our only issue, which our host had no control over, was that Lake Livingston had a infestation of zebra muscles which prevented boats from being in the lake. Nevertheless we still had fun. Our host, Russell, was responsive to all of our needs.

Great location, needs a thorough cleaning
The location is beautiful! The house is spacious and the rooms were clean. However, there was trash from the previous renters all around the dumpster, but the host took care of it on our second day. The dock needs a thorough cleaning to be usable, and the screened porches on the house do as well. Our children really enjoyed the game room. We saw a couple beautiful sunsets!

We had our family reunion there with everyone traveling very long distances! It was the perfect getaway. We all really enjoyed what the property had to offer and appreciated having a small food mart close by for emergencies and blue bell ice cream! The only thing that could have made it better was if we had more than one towel per person in the house; between the 100 degree high-humidity, and the lake, we took a lot of showers and needed to wash towels often.

We had almost 20 people here for a long weekend. The pictures of this property only tell half the story. Even with 20 people, we still had lots of room, did not feel cramped. The converted garage with the bunk beds, video games etc., was the highlight of our stay. And Russel was very quick to respond to any questions no matter what time of day. Would definitely stay here again, hopefully with a boat!
