Would give this property a 5 Stars. Very clean, communication with Owner was excellent. We enjoyed the kayaks, walks in the neighborhood, grilling, and the wrap around porch was serene. Lots of reading and games as well. Thank you for great memories. Will definitely come back.

Love Blue Gill Bungalow!
We are seniors so the lack of things to do in the area wasn’t that big of a deal for us! It was to cold to go out on the lake, we were there in the winter months. Still, enjoyed the peace and quit and the wildlife! Howard was a gracious host! Comfortable beds & loved the openness of the house. I enjoyed using the jacuzzi bath! There are a lot of cute shops around Coldspring & in Livingston to check out. All in all, loved the property!

Relaxing wkend away
Enjoyed the peace and quiet at the Bungalow. It's décor is cute and the place had everything we needed. The drought kept us from accessing the lake from the property, but we drove to the state park close by and were able to get in from there. Communication was good with owner. FYI... don't use Apple maps for directions, it will send you to the wrong house and doesn't have updated roads in this particular area.

Bungalow of Joy
My husband and 12 yo son stayed in the bungalow over a weekend. We arrived at night, the place looked so inviting lit up. Seeing it in the day, made us light up. So much to see around the property and house, whimsical decor outside and in making it such a delight. Home was clean, linens smelled great, the owner has paid attention to detail to ensure you have a great stay.

Peaceful home
This was such a peaceful home to stay in. Loved having all the land to walk the dogs on. House had everything we needed. Large wrap around patio with plenty of seating. Peace and quiet. Great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Lake Livingston was easy to access (only a 7-minute drive to the marina).

A great weekend away
We had a great time at the bungalow! The place was very clean and well kept. It also was fully stocked with everything we could need, including a nice collection of DVDs which we enjoyed watching in the evenings. We spent a lot of time hanging out on the porch, reading/relaxing in the comfortable chairs/hammocks under the fans, as well as playing darts, frisbee, etc that came with the bungalow. We spotted some wildlife that we don't get to see often in the city including deer, fireflies, and a hummingbird. We also loved how close it is to Sam Houston National Forest. Overall it was a great weekend away for my family and not too far of a drive from our home.

Bliss!
We had the best couples get away! The house was so clean and the decor immediately relaxes you when you walk in the door. The owner is so sweet and checked on us to ask if we needed anything. The porch and kayaks are a great touch. We easily paddled out to the lake. The property is the perfect place to relax and unwind away from the city. We hope to return!!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Simply perfect!!
The Bluegill Bungalow is the most perfect place to go to unwind. Quietly nestled in the trees at the end of a road, this private bungalow is the perfect marriage between fairy-tale ans Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I needed a place to totally forget about work/life, to relax and rejuvenate. This was perfect!!! Cute, very clean, private and oh so relaxing. Perfect mother/daughter retreat...memories for a lifetime!! Thank you for such a wonderful getaway place!!! We will definitely be coming back again!!
