Another fantastic trip to this amazing house! We’ve stayed here three times for our yearly family vacation and we will keep coming back every year! It’s a lovely place and the hosts are fantastic!
Very peaceful and felt private. Couch wqs super comfortable and loved the large shower! Clean and well kept. Let us store our car in the garage due to storms, much appreciated. Would stay again!
Great place to get away from it all. The house has been updated and has everything you need. Two full bathrooms with walk-in showers. The views are amazing! Also a great cove for fishing.
The house is very spacious and plenty of room. There is a large back porch and deck that is also very spacious and perfect for any outdoor meal with family.The location of the property is in a quiet cove with great fishing. We spent countless hours sitting on the private boat house dock fishing. We also brought our own kayaks and fished the cove when we weren’t out on the boat fishing the lake. Channel catfish were caught from the dock and a couple bass. This property has many features for any family to have a great time!
This lakehouse is absolutely the best. The house is very spacious and the lay out is great! Easy in and out for my boat and the kitchen is terrific. Fished for a week with my grandkids and being on the water made is very easy to zip back to house and tie up to the dock for a quick lunch and then back at it. I will no doubt stay here every time I visit Lake Bob Sandlin.
Beautiful spacious home with fully equipped kitchen with gas and charcoal grill. Provided everything we needed. The beds and pillows are so comfortable. Have a nice pier to fish off of and tie your boat there. My husband prefers a boat slip, which we rented down the street called Big Al barefoot marina for a very reasonable price. You would launch your boat there anyway. Caught a lot of fish even in the very windy conditions. Had a great time and will be back. Michelle W.Katy, Tx
This is our second time staying here and we thoroughly enjoyed this lake house. If you’re looking for a lake house that has great views and a great dock. This house is for you. My husband is a big fisherman and this place is fabulous. I love the views. I can sit outside and read my book and Enjoy the view all day. The house has everything you need. The host are wonderful to work with. They responded very fast if I needed anything. We stayed there for six weeks this time and really enjoyed. We got to relax and enjoy fishing. I highly recommend.
This was a perfect house to stay in with family and our 2 dogs. This was a gorgeous home that was better than property listing. It was clean and spacious for everyone. Had a great time and would absolutely come back !
We needed a little downtime and this was the perfect place! Spent a lot of time on the dock. Great amenities. It had everything we needed and wanted. We will definitely be back.
We had A fabulous time. Can’t say enough great things about this property. House, boat dock, fishing was all great. It was close to everything. We’ve been to a lot of places to fish. The dock at this house was the best. We will definitely be back.
Peaceful, and relaxing, with a gorgeous view of the lake. Loved how clean it was, too. Highly recommend! You can tell the owners take care of this place.
We rented the property for our son’s 13th birthday for him to fish with friends and family. The house was beautiful, clean, and spacious! The views were beautiful and so was the dock. We would 100% book again!
Property was amazing. I stayed the week with my grandson for spring break. There was plenty of room to park my boat while we were not on the water and during the day we could just come back and tie up to the dock for lunch. The kitchen was huge and well stocked. I would definitely stay here again.
This place is so beautiful and relaxing. We loved our stay here, we enjoyed the quiet peacefulness there. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook. We loved the gas fireplace and comfy living room sofa. The master bedroom has a gorgeous view out the French doors as well. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a great time at the property, very nice house and great yard with awesome views. WiFi was not working well, but that just forced the teenagers to do different activities outside so that was actually a positive!
Great location for lake access! Easy to get to a boat launch. Dock was great for anchoring our ski boat. Kitchen completely stocked with tools and appliances. Beds were so comfy! Bathrooms clean! Wonderful outdoor space - plenty of seating with tables and chairs for dining Al fresco! Highly recommend staying here with families.
The location was perfect for seeing family that live in the area. Beautiful view and felt very comfortable. I would choose to stay again. A very interesting bird in the area. I kept saying please say hi to that woman before I figured out it was a bird. Lol.
This lovely home is absolutely perfect in every way. It's beautifully updated, very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is amply stocked with dishes, utensils and all the pots and pans anyone would need. Our family enjoyed playing corn hole on the back deck and of course the gorgeous lake. The host was most cordial and responsive. We hope to return soon!
This Lake House is perfect in so many ways. CLEAN and COMFORTABLE is definitely an important part of the foundation to create a must stay property, this property sets a standard. A home away from home feeling while creating a new experience. It's hard to capture what to expect in pictures, it was definitely beyond any expectations we had. From inside to outside, we enjoyed all this property has to offer. We look forward to making this a part of our family Texas visits going forward.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
I thought I was getting a covered boat slip there was one there but it was occupied
We still enjoyed the house and water hope to be back real soon but the grills need some attention

What makes this property unique
A peaceful and picturesque setting surrounded by trees, with plenty of room for sun and fun. Located just 2 hours from Dallas on Lake Bob Sandlin. The home is situated within a no-wake zone cove, making it ideal for swimming directly off the dock. This lake is fantastic for fishing and recreational boating.
