Cabin was exactly as described and met our needs perfectly. It was a nice surprise to have a huge walk-in pantry as well for extra storage so everything wasn’t out on the countertops. The boathouse was also a highlight with the swings and fantastic views (and the ability to use the boat stall and lift was a must have for us so we’re thankful that was available as well!) We will definitely be coming back!!
This place in Pittsburg is a solid find if you're looking for a quiet spot on the water. The house has that great rustic, lodge feel with plenty of room inside, but we spent most of our time out on the massive patio and the dock. It’s a setup built for relaxing, whether you’re out by the lake all day or just sitting outside with a drink in the evening. If you want a straightforward, high-quality getaway in East Texas, this is the one.

Thanks, Donnie, for the kind words and very thoughtful review that will be helpful to future guests!
Wonderful place! The home was clean and had pretty much anything we needed during our stay. We enjoyed the dock and fishing! Would definitely come back!
Host was very easy to communicate with. Nice house with room to spread out. Enjoyed all the lake amenities…..fishing, fire pit, fire table and more. Plan to be back when weather is warmer!
The scenery was beautiful. The host had amenities I wasn't expecting which was great. Kitchen was stocked with what we needed so we were able to cook and grill. Loved the game room setup!
The Host was quick when responding to any questions we had. The property had 2 living areas with plenty of space our family of 5 and a baby. We loved being able to bring our Boxers without any problems. Very thankful we could include the whole family on our weekend get away!
This was a fantastic rental the host was exceptional and responds immediately toke care of everything we felt so welcome and had the best time and will for sure rent from them again highly recommend!!
Kitchen well stocked and equipped. Way better than most.Very quiet and peaceful lake. Not over crowded.

Thanks for the kind words Cynthia! Yes, we also absolutely love this hidden gem because the lake is never crowded, nor noisy (except for a week or two each year when pelicans and swans pass through on their migration ;).
My family thoroughly enjoyed this property. The house was very clean and we had everything we needed. There is enough entertainment for everyone. It is a very peaceful and serene environment.
Very nice home on the water. Boat dock was really convenient for our boat too! Lots of game to play, grill was clean, and the beds were comfy. Will stay here the next time we are at Lake Sandlin.
This is the second time we have stayed here an and absolutely love it! It is an oasis away from everyday life. It has something for everyone to enjoy and the owner keeps adding more fun things to do. This is the best owner of all the houses I have rented over the years. He is very responsive to any questions you have before and during your stay. You will love it to I promise !
