RELAXING
This is definitely one of our favorite vacations. The house was beautiful and uniquely designed which made the stay even more fun. We and our dogs enjoyed the large fenced in yard. The outdoor eating areas and deck were a favorite spot for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked and the bathrooms all had plenty of towels. The fishing pier in a quiet area was my husband’s favorite hangout. It was a relaxing way to spend Christmas week and we enjoyed it immensely. Our host Kristi was amazing and a GREAT communicator. It’s obvious Kristi has put a lot of love and thought into this VRBO home. Highly recommend this home - it’s comfy for 2 but also has plenty of room for a big family

A delightful house.
We were looking for a house for our family of 6 (my kids are ages 13 to 19) that would set us up to do the trade days as well as other things that east Texas offers. This house was the perfect place for us. Not only were we close to lots of restaurants and things to do, the house itself was great. The first thing we noticed when we walked into the house was the beautiful view of the lake. The back wall of the house is full of windows overlooking the docks and Callendar Lake. We loved it. The house itself fit us perfectly--from a kitchen that had everything we needed to beds that were very comfortable. We spent a bunch of time on the back porch playing games, and even though there was a fire ban while we were there, we sat around the firepit with the string lights on after dark. We used the kayaks and paddleboards provided with the house and enjoyed the beauty of the lake, and I went on several walks in the morning before my family woke up. Great place. We recommend it heartily.

Family memories we will cherish forever
This was our first overnight trip here in Texas with our two littles and we made memories we’ll remember forever. The house is nestled in a stunning location and was filled with things to do. We absolutely loved our stay here, so much so in fact our kids didn’t want to leave.

Family Vacation
We had a great week as a family enjoying the lake house. Property is beautiful and relaxing. The only suggestion I would make is that for the price we pay for cleaning that the cleaning service do a better job. Patio chairs were covered in spider webs, the interior window frames had spider webs and the air filter cover was covered in dirt. Overall the time we had was wonderful.

Unique and Awesome!!
We stayed here over the weekend to celebrate my birthday and this property did not disappoint! The spinal stairs was very unique and the upstairs “playroom” was a great hangout spot for movies or games. The fire pit had plenty of seating and the dock had ample room for everyone to spread out and relax! A few cobb webs around the furniture outside but nothing a broom can’t handle! Thank you for having us!

Perfect Family Getaway
We enjoyed our Spring Break vacation at this lake house. Our 2 families (with 10 people in total) found the house clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking (we picked up groceries at the Walmart in Athens). The rooms were comfortable and spacious. The kids had fun playing Pac-Man and watching movies. The patio overlooking the lake was perfect in the mornings and evenings. We enjoyed fishing (the neighborhood store had bait), kayaking, paddle boarding, and swimming in the lake. The kids didn’t mind the cold water! We made smores using the outdoor fire pit, which had plenty of seating and fun string lights. We enjoyed meals at The Forge (great burgers and pizza) and The Farmhouse (amazing rolls and pies). This was a great location for hosting our extended family vacation. We hope to come back someday!

Beautiful Lakehouse
This was such a wonderful vacation spent at this beautiful lakehouse :) The property had everything we needed. The lake is just steps off the back porch and has an absolutely amazing dock that is partially covered. The lake toys made our stay even more amazing. The house was so accommodable with many beds and bathrooms and the ac blew cold the whole time even though the temps were over 100. We are hoping to come back here next summer and make even more memories :]

The property was beautiful. The house cozy and roomy. We spent alot of time on the outdoor balcony watching the kids kayak and play in the lake. The 4 bathrooms were great with 11 people. The stairs were a fun adventure everytime, very steep. It is a nice place to getaway and relax.

Great Lake Escape
This was a much needed escape to the lake with friends and family! Easy check in. Adorable house and it accommodated our party of seven perfectly. It was nice to have a bedroom on the main floor for those who didn’t want to take the spiral staircase adventure. Every room has a bathroom/shower which was great! Having access to the Maui mat and kayaks made lake time a blast. If you are looking for a quiet lake to relax on this is a hidden gem!

Weekend getaway
My family of 6 stayed for a long weekend and loved it! It was hot and humid so jumping in the lake/relaxing on the Lilly pad was very refreshing. We rented a jet ski from the marina ( great people and quick to respond), kayaked and used the SUP! The only issue we had and the owner addressed was the wasp/bugs down by the dock. Luckily the hail storm that came through got rid of most of the bugs lol. The kitchen had everything we needed but only 4 wine glasses. We ended up visiting the Green Goat Winery a family owned business with really great wine and lovely owners and bought a couple glasses back with us. We also visited the White Fox winery for a tasting, sweeter wine but we really enjoyed the visit. Overall we loved our stay and would be back!

Great family fun time!
We had a fantastic time. My girls, ages 10, 14, and 16 really enjoyed all the lake toys, especially the aqua mat. I was really pleased the host had life jackets available. House was very clean, neighborhood was very quiet. Everything was well stocked. Plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets. Beds were good quality and very comfortable. The driveway was very steep, as in the description. The circular stairs were charming but you did have to be very careful on them! Overall a fantastic stay and I hope we can go again!

Family getaway
Kristi was responsive and helpful from the beginning to the end of our stay. Beautiful house with beautiful views and easy access to the lake. Many beds for people to sleep in and beds were comfortable. We loved that each bedroom had it's own bathroom. My family and I enjoyed fishing on the dock and lounging on the chairs and hammocks. We also rented a jetski from Callender Lake Marine and the staff was really kind and helpful. We didn't realize we were on a private lake and it was a nice size and deep. The kitchen had some pots and pans but if your cooking for a big family and need bigger pots and pans bring your own. There were plenty of bowls and utensils to use. I appreciate the cleanliness of the inside of the house and the decoration was simple and clean. I think the house also had a water softener because the water felt nice and soft on the skin after showering. One thing I would recommend is that the spider webs be cleaned from dock and balcony. Otherwise my family and I had a great time. My daughters enjoyed using the Maui mat and the canoe. The fire pit in the backyard was relaxing and we had a great time making smores. Overall a great trip and the house was beautiful and relaxing. A great place for family memories! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy this home.

Perfect Lake House!
This was the perfect place for my wife, myself and our 4 kids. The house is very unique and setup perfectly for a large family. While the weather put a damper on our water activities, I can say the kids would’ve spent the entire trip in the water if it was warmer. We were still able to fish some and I caught the biggest bass I’ve ever seen right off the dock. Will definitely stay here again when we return to the area.

Great Father/Son Trip
We needed a last minute place to stay for a three generation Father/Son weekend. We were so lucky that this property was available. We had a great time. The house had plenty of comfortable beds - we all slept great! The weather was pretty cold so we were inside most of the time but did enjoy grilling and a roaring campfire each night. The property Manager, Lauren, was awesome and we can certainly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quite comfortable get-away. Clean, comfortable, quite - what more could you ask for?
