WATERFRONT House in Peaceful Cove w/ Great Fishing

Welcome to our beautiful lakefront home on Lake Sam Rayburn Reservoir near Broaddus, TX. This lake house is perfect for anglers, hunters, and families. Located less than five minutes from Broaddus, TX and the Jackson Hill Marina you will be close to stores, restaurants, and boat access while still feeling you are away from it all. Zavalla is twelve miles away and Cassels-Boykin public access is only ten miles away.

Walk less than one hundred feet and you are at the shore of a sheltered cove that is great for swimming, fishing and boating. Photography and birding possibilities abound-- regularly seen are bald eagles, cranes, egrets, hawks, turtles, otters, and deer.

For the anglers we have tried to meet all of your needs: conveniently located exterior outlets for charging your equipment, fish cleaning station, and shoreline tie-offs for your boat if you so desire. The fishing here is amazing as well, with large-mouth and other assorted bass, crappie, gar and catfish waiting to hit your lines.

Hunters staying here will be pleasantly surprised at how close they are to hunting in the Angelina National Forest just a few minutes from the property.

For the chefs and foodies out there we have a fully furnished kitchen with all the utensils and cookware you need to make your culinary masterpiece. In addition we have a gas grill on an outside patio for the BBQ aficionados.

This home has wifi and internet TV with Sling, Netflix, Hulu, etc. For the kids and young at heart we have board games, dominoes, cards, etc. Not to mention our fire pit where hot dogs and marshmallows find their proper tasty end.

Thanks for visiting our site, we hope you choose to make your memories with us!

Great place!
My husband and I and our dog stayed for a few days during the week and it was very peaceful. Weather could not have been more perfect. Lake house is very comfortable and well stocked with pots/pans, towels and basic household essentials. Great backyard with hammock and firepit. We launched our kayak right from behind house. Great cove for paddling around. We will be back.Host is quickly responsive. ccomfortable

Slice of paradise
This location had all the amenities of home, quite neighborhood, boat ramps within 5 minutes of location, places to eat from 5 to 25 minutes of location and was able to park the boats on the water just 50 yards out the back door. the only complaint I have is that there wasn't an electrical outlet near the water to charge the boat batteries and could use a third parking spot. overall, very satisfied with accommodations and the view.

Father’s Day weekend
Great weekend get away for the Fathers and Sons in our family. House had plenty of room for the 5 of us. Lake level was 6.5 ft above pool so bank fishing was much easier for the Grandpa in our group. This was our third stay here and won’t be our last.

Wonderful Getaway
I give this house A 10/10. Everything we needed , lots of room , and a wonderful view of the lake. We had had plenty of space to park 2 trucks with boats and another car. Boat ramp is right around the corner making the lake access super easy. I love the spacious back porch where you can sit and enjoy the evenings watching the sunset over the water. This house was exactly what I was looking for to enjoy a birthday getaway at the lake.

Nice place - roads need work
Quite happy with our stay but the neighborhood roads need work as it would be difficult for a 2-wheel vehicle to pull a 20 foot fishing boat through to the drive.

An amazing getaway
Our stay was amazing this little getaway house was right on the lake where you can walk just a few feet and fish and it has its own fire pit outside where you can sit make a fire and just relax and watch the water. I recommend this property to everyone it was just amazing. We had a blast. If there was a way to leave more than just five stars, I would it deserves more stars.
