We were already planning another trip to this wonderful get-away while we were on our first night! Plenty of room and a beautiful location on the Lake. Even though it rained almost the whole time we still loved our stay!
Fabulous property on the water, fantastic lake views, and great fishing straight from the massive dock. Tracy is simply the best host we have encountered in the years of renting properties.
This is our second trip back to this property. We will continue to use this property year after year. Great facilities, great location, and fun for the entire family. This time we took advantage of the marina down the road and rented three jet skis for a few hours. Great fun for the entire family. Location has everything that you need. We will absolutely stay here again.
The house was perfect for a family weekend with plenty of room. The dock was great for hanging out and getting sun! Nice neighborhood and friendly neighbors! The home owner is very accommodating with check in/out and use of their things. Overall great place to stay on the lake!
This place was amazing! We got our family together for Christmas here and there were so many places to enjoy it never felt like we were on top of each other. The owner so accommodating and friendly! We will definitely be coming back here for future family gatherings.
The location, house, property, view - everything was excellent. We got home yesterday and booking another stay in a few months. Thank you Tracy for the recommendation for the sunset cruise. It was a lovely evening.
So much to do here - have to book another stay to enjoy it all! The most generous and helpful hosts we have ever had with VRBO homeowners. We have been renting for years and can truly say this is the best hosts we have ever had. Our young adult children enjoyed the pool table and visiting brewery down the street. The golf cart there made it easy to go to rentals extended family were staying at that were on the same street! Kids wanted to use rope swing and water mats but we were there during a cold front. They enjoyed lounging in giant cushioned chair on upper boat deck, playing corn hole and poker, and fishing instead. Will come back to enjoy water another time. Thank you so much Tracy and Keith.
We completely enjoyed our stay at the lake. The property was perfect, the location was fantastic and I have zero complaints whatsoever. The owner was very laid-back and very flexible to work with. We will definitely stay there again. We stayed for a few days and enjoyed our time on the lake. We caught seven catfish from the dock, and enjoyed our stay completely.
This is by far the best rental vacation home we've stayed in... ever!Tracy was an atentive host, and the place is marvelous! We could not think of anything we would need that wasn't provided. Swim in the lake? There's vests and towels. Want to relax inside? The best furniture in the livingroom downstairs and upstairs as well. Want to relax outside? Enough rocking chairs, rocking couches, hanging chairs, beach chairs, cushioned deck furniture for everyone, both on the front AND back yards! Anything you can think of as far as kitchen hardware, laundry, fully equipped bathrooms, linens, comfortable beds & pillows... Great outdoor activities - fire pit, fishing, kayak, cornhole -, game room with billiards, and more board games than you could possibly play in a week! Also plenty of tv sets equipped with Roku and 2 fireplaces if that's your thing. Just the best family getaway in a good while, congratulations on a place set up as it should be for people who just want to R-E-L-A-X!
This was an amazing place to stay on Lake Livingston!! From the layout of the house, the tree house for the kids, the boat dock and the fishing was outstanding! We have stayed at a lot of places on Lake Livingston and this has been by far the best! The host Tracy was amazing as was Blake! Highly recommend! Thanks Tracy! Justin
We came here with our 3 kids and my parents. Everything was perfect! There was plenty of room for all of us and even with the gloomy weather we always found something to do. Fishing off the dock was definitely a highlight. Tracy, the host, was so accommodating and quick to answer any questions we had. We will be back!
Wow! Our experience was nothing short of spectacular! The property was stunning, spotlessly clean, and had so many cool games and activities. The outdoor patio was a paradise for morning coffee and magical sunsets ,perfection!
The host was amazing, super responsive, and filled with insider tips that made our trip unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway! I’m counting the days until I can return. Highly recommended!
This home was the perfect spot for our family gathering - My husband and I, our two grown children and their families. There were plenty of bedrooms and a number of living spaces so everyone could have their on place when needed. We were able to rent a boat and able to catch fish off the dock. The treehouse was an added adventure for the grandchildren. We also had 2 dogs and the fenced in yard was perfect for them to run. Tracy was responsive every time I sent a note.
Our stay at Tracy's house exceeded almost every expectation we had! A fully stocked kitchen, tons of games, spacious rooms with comfortable beds, and a boathouse complete with Lake toys, chairs, and rigged fishing poles! There were several beautiful areas to sit and enjoy the surroundings, either in the deck, the porch or the platform over the boathouse, and an early morning walk through the neighborhood (or a ride wih the golf cart) was quiet and peaceful. The property is perfect for large family/ friends gatherings, and with extras like the pool table, cornhole game and Smart TVs, noone is going to be bored!Tracy and Keith were very accommodating and generous with our requests, and we felt like they had opened up their family to us as friends instead of as renters. We will definitely be returning!
Everything about this property is amazing, but the best feature is the white glove experience offered by the host, Tracy. We have stayed in several Lake Livingston properties, but Tracy goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need for your stay and a also offers a proper, in person, tour/introduction to the property and it's amenities. Thank you for sharing your lifelong creation with our family. As long as you are willing to share, we will be your loyal tenants. Sincerely, The Hebert's
This lakefront home we rented to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!There was plenty of room for everyone, The home is spacious and BEAUTIFUL, The kitchen is fully stocked. There is also a detached game room with a pool table and other games, There is also a very cool treehouse on the property! BUT the best feature was the amazing boat deck (2 levels) WITH fishing gear and LOTS of sitting/longing areas. We are over the moon for this lovely lake front home, Our hostess Tracy was ALWAYS available and helpful. Blake, the local fishing expert with "The Lake Life Concierge" stopped by and gave us some fishing tips. All in all this was a fantastic stay and we will definitely be coming back for another visit!!
The house is setting at a beautiful lake side where you can enjoy sun rise and the moon from the decks. The pictures on VRBO are not justified the true beauty of the house. The owner, Tracy was very friendly. She has everything ready. She even took her time to welcome us at the property on the first day and shown us where are things in the house. The city water system has some issue when we forst get there and Tracy was so nice to find out whats wrong and response to us right away. The issues resolve in 15 minutes. All The rooms were clean and neat. The house decorations are really nice. It would be better if the extra blankets were clean and some part of the floor at the living and bed room carpet smell better. The house were full of kids activities. The owner has many board and card games at all play room up stair, down stairs, garage, and on the lake. Our kids from age 10 to18 enjoyed endless acrivities for the whole weekend. We would love to stay at your house again when we visit Livingston. THANK YOU Tracy for your hospitality, your prompt responses.
