Great family home for hosting multiple groups. Beautiful house layout. The best part was how clean the lake front was. Great for kids to play in water without worry.
This place really was a very serene location, off the beating path a bit, which we all really liked. It was just as advertised, beautiful views of Lake Bob Sandlin and very calm and quiet. The house was very clean and comfortable for our party of six. The lake was alive with nature, birds mostly, and the hummingbird feeders were active most of the day with hummingbirds. The host was very hospitable and a good communicator. This was my first time visiting this area of Texas and it was just about the perfect setting.
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!!
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!
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!
This property fits our family perfectly. We rented two paddles boards and used the kayaks provided for water fun. Fishing was wonderful, as we all spent time trying to catch something! The house was comfortable, well equipped kitchen and plenty to keep everyone from the 5 year old to the 66 year old happy. Thank you for sharing your property with us.
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!!
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!
