Summary: Overall property site is awesome and dog friendly. Could have easily been a 5 star stay all the way around but missing important details. -Refrigerator didn't cool properly and ruined 2 T-bone steaks/sides. Found everything warm the next morning. - Dryer heated but was not spinning and could not dry wet clothes- Propane on the grill was out- Down stairs bathroom was clogged

Summary: Location and water view is wonderful. Launched our canoe and paddled up and down the river on and offduring 4 day stay.Cooked on the grill and ate in the sunset. Played badminton with the children on the spacious fenced in grounds.House inside was clean but really needs some tender care. Beds were very clean and comfortable. Dinning room seating was only for four people needs two more chairs for a family to sit together. Kitchen fully equipped . Nothing flashy if you are looking for a glamorous house but comfortable if you are not fussy. Ac vents really need cleaning as do the windows. Stairs difficult with invalids or small children and need some repair . Living room could do with a couple of side lamps. It was a wonderful place but really needs a personal touch or you neepropertyrd

Summary: If you're looking for a house that is aesthetically pleasing, this is not it. However, if you're searching for a lake house where you can have a wonderful time with your family, you’ve found it. We have an overall mixed review about this house. Our family had the best time here and it was just what we need to get away and unplug. But there are a few things that could have been improved on. **Positives:** The location is fantastic, offering a perfect view of the river. It's a great spot for fishing and swimming. The outdoor space by the river was wonderful, providing a great spot to sit, have coffee, play games, or visit with family and friends. We spent the majority of our time outside, enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of towels. And the A/C works GREAT!! **Negatives:** The inside is a typical lake house with nothing fancy, offering just the basic necessities. The pictures need to be updated as the tree swing outside is no longer there and the kids were looking forward to it. The patio umbrella is broken and not useable. It would have been nice for the extra shade. The patio space needs to be swept and cleaned a bit. The inside REALLY needs a deep cleaning from the baseboards to the blinds. The dishwasher was filthy and did not get dishes clean so we had to hand wash dishes. And the microwave stopped working on our first full day. There were dead bugs and cobwebs in the window sills and corners and the floor didn’t appear to have been mopped. There is no Wi-Fi. The dining table needs a few more chairs, and it would have been nice to have a few extra chairs in the living room. The outside of the house also needs a good cleaning and pressure washing. Some of the steps need to be fixed for safety reasons. There aren’t screens on the windows and we found several windows left unlocked. The house is definitely not maintained very well and seems like they just clean good enough for the next guest and that’s it. If this house had a deep cleaning between each guest we would definitely stay here again.

Summary: Overall nice property. The outdoor space is perfect with the perfect spot to float/swim. The house could use a nice deep clean. The dishes appeared dirty and we cleaned before use (dishwasher looks pretty gross). The water has a very strong sulphur smell. It made the entire house smell the first night. Microwave did not work during our stay and there was no propane for the grill.

Summary: First of all, the proper manager was very communicative and the handyman was also able to take care of things that were broken. The property in person is not as representative of the pictures. It’s in a nice part of the river. Big lot with pretty trees. The terraces were definitely a selling point when I booked the property. Other reviews said it was older and not updated but clean. I can handle older as long as it’s clean. When we pulled up, the house was covered in spider webs and debris. The outside was a wreck with broken furniture, ripped and discolored cushions, goose droppings all around. The terrace which looked so nice in the pictures had debris and not set up at all. The lounges were broken, the umbrella was broken, the chimney was broken, the table was broken. There had been storms but this debris was piled up from neglect and had been there for quite a while. The whole exterior of the house is covered in spider webs and debris stuck in the webs. The windows were dirty. Inside didn’t get much better. The bar top was broken, blinds were broken, the ceiling fan blades were hanging down, the baseboards, cabinets and walls had dirt and grime all over them, the shower curtains had mold, the inside windows had bugs and webs in them, remotes had dead batteries, the tv/dvd combo the dvd player would not work, the other tv would not come on and the return air filter was filthy. The handyman did come fix several things but the condition was pure neglect.

Summary: The location is amazing and so peaceful. The house is older, but was clean and has everything you need. And the price is very, very reasonable for what you are getting.

Summary: Loved the scenery. Assistance was very quick with any questions. The only inconvenience were that the washer and garbage disposal smelled very very bad from the day we arrived but I bought a washer cleaner tablet from HEB to take care of that. Water was not working at all from when we checked in at 6pm until almost midnight when they sent over a kind maintenence man to check all the panels and well pumps. We both had to check multiple panels and lines at night to address the issue which was annoying since none of us could bathe, use the restroom or use the sink for almost 6 hours. It was finally fixed and glad we had hot water as soon as the pumps started working, could use a solid cleaning because the amount if pet hair on the window sills, under the bed and on and in-between the couches but overall it was a beautiful property with great peaceful scenery.

Summary: Loved how family friendly this property is. I especially loved that there are gates to keep the kids away from the water if you are busy grilling or have to make a quick trip up the stairs to the house. The concrete platform at the very bottom is awesome to take your lawn chair and fish. LOTS OF FISH! The house can use a little TLC but for our short stay it was perfect. Had everything we needed to cook all our meals. The AC is WONDERFUL! The cable isn’t the best, only cartoon network was available for the kids but we had our kids outside most of the time so they didn’t really care to watch tv. I do suggest if you have littles to pack them a life vest. The dam opens in the evening and the water runs at a pretty high speed. We enjoyed our stay so much we are already planning our next trip to this house. The outside of the property is what we fell in love with! So much room for activities lol. Lastly, communication with the property manager is excellent! We had a minor hiccup on arrival but it was fixed fairly quickly. We also needed more propane to grill out and they brought it to us right away. They were really good at checking in on us to make sure we weren’t in need of anything else. If you want to relax, fish and cook out then book this house!
