Lots of Potential

The house sat on a great plot of land with plenty of room for kids to run around and play. There is so much potential for this home, though it does need a lot of maintenance and clean up to become a comfortable place to stay. The indoor pool was nice but very difficult to keep warm!

Fun Family Getaway

We had a family gathering of 10 adults and a toddler. The house has plenty of room, and many fun activities for guests to enjoy. The second story deck is huge and was a popular hang-out spot during our stay. Billiards, Ping-Pong, Pickleball, and Basketball were enjoyed thoroughly by our group. Sitting on the dock by the lake was so beautiful and peaceful. I highly recommend that! We cooked all of our meals and the kitchen definitely met our needs.

Warning#####

Host does Not refund ANYTHING. Paid for 25 guests (anything over 11 is an added charge) but only 20 were able to attend. Host would NOT refund me for the 5 guest charges. House was acceptable but there are safety concerns. Wiring needs updated. Pool roof needs replaced. Make sure you are aware of all fees. Very disappointed in communication with Host.

Family reunion getaway

The peaceful surroundings and multiple outdoor entertainment spaces made it an ideal place for our family reunion and birthday party. There were multiple levels and stairways inside that made it a little difficult to navigate for older people in the party but at the same time gave privacy to the different family groups when needed.

Family reunion

This place is great. We had a large group & everyone was accomodated. A little older place than we have had in the past but we made excellent memories. The pool inside was a big hit. We were a little worried about getting to come after Hurricane Beryl but they took care of the house & large yard area before we arrived.. owners were super quick to answer any questions. Great place for relaxation & enjoy time away from life’s busyness.

Not as advertised

This property was a big disappointment. Not professionally cleaned or maintained. We had dead bugs in several rooms, dead bugs in some beds, nails sticking out of the front stairs(tripping hazard), two people put their foot through rotted dock boards. The pool room is a joke, the pool table and ping pong table are so old they were unusable. Shaky toilet with smells coming from it. The master bath tub/shower was very dangerous to get into and out of. The listing doesn’t state how many stairs are in the property but it was very dangerous for small children.

Beautiful location with safety concerns- NOT good for families with children

We stayed at this property with a group of friends and young children. This property has a lot of “pros”: -Beautiful location- the view off of the deck was lovely -Secluded from general traffic and public -Lots of bedroom options with adequate bathrooms; can sleep a large group comfortably -Indoor pool for hot summer days Unfortunately, there were also some issues that made us not want to return with our small children: -Numerous safety hazards inside and out- my toddler found a bunch of wood screws in the foyer, space of balusters could easily fit a child’s whole body, areas that should have safety railings without them, cleaning supplies and tools left scattered about the home inside and out, exposed wires, etc. etc. -There was no lock on the front door- check in was easy because of this; all you do is open the door! Unfortunately, that means anyone could also do that! -There is a dog that wanders around the property- not in the listing. -While not listed in the listing when we booked, the owner lives a stone’s throw from the property, and you will see him a LOT. He came into the pool house while we were swimming and was often seen on the house’s deck and on the grounds directly around the house. It was very off putting. -The house was very dusty, had plenty of cobwebs, and we had to scrub the kitchen upon arrival. Normally, when I see only a handful of bad reviews, I assume the bad ones are from people who are unrealistic- but in this case, I was wrong!

Disappointed at Lake Conroe

the location and property are nice but not very well maintained, lots of insects, spider webs, we had a mouse in the kitchen, the second refrigerator didn't cool properly, we had to ask for the pool to be cleaned and one room we didn't stay in due to bugs in the bed and room. this could be a great property if updated and maintained properly, the owners live next door and it is not ideal. we had to ask for the BBQ pit to be connected with proprane, alot of things that should have been done BEFORE we arrived were not and for high price /night I would have expected a lot better property and cleaner. Also we had no hot water and we were short on towels. I can't emphasize how bad the insects were on the patio which caused us not to be able to enjoy the beautiful view and cigarette butts were left out.

Family Vacation 2024

Loved the whole experience!!!!!! We are a large family and this house gave us the sleeping space we needed. And lots of hanging out and visiting area both inside and outside. The on site boat ramp and dock were fantastic. Then after getting off the lake having the option for the kiddos to swim in the pool out of the sun was the best!!! Yes, the owners live on property but they were not invasive in anyway and were very helpful and responsive with any questions we had. Thank you for all the great memories my family now has!!!

Lake Conroe Peace

We enjoyed our stay on this "just the right size" home. The property backs up to Lake Conroe. The owners provided several kayaks, which were fun to paddle in the lake. There is a good size deck at the edge of the lake where we could watch our "kayakers" play. There is an outside volleyball court set up for our athletes. On the upper level of the house there is another large deck for weddings or other events. What a lovely setting. We enjoyed drinking coffee and experiencing the morning unfold on the lake in the mornings.

Overall we enjoyed our time here and really liked the location on the lake and the amount of space we had outside. The house was mostly clean and picked up but a few bathrooms did smell musty. The owner was very quick with communications through the VRBO App, but he and his wife do live on the property and we saw them a few times during our stay.

WARNING – NOT CLEAN, NOT SAFE

My wife and I booked our family vacation for 6 nights over Labor Day weekend 2023 on March 31, 2023. We have 7 children and their spouses and a 6-month-old grandchild, so we where excited about the space, number of bedrooms and baths and that the property was on the water. Last minute, a few days before Easter weekend we decide to celebrate our anniversary and book the same property we booked for a family vacation scheduled over Labor Day weekend. We could have stayed in a property that accommodate only 2 of us but thought this would be a great opportunity to see the place and get the lay of the land before our family trip. Thank goodness we did. We arrived at 4:00 pm on Friday. As we drove up to the house, we saw several cars on the circular driveway in front of a house adjacent to the rental property (This is where the property owner lives). This house was littered with trash, old furniture, and appliances (an eyesore to say the least). I was met by the property owner that was still getting the place ready. It was uncomfortable as we move our luggage in as he and his wife were still working. Example, we had to make a few trips in and out of the house and on one of the trips back in we notice several garbage bags that had not been there before, meaning that they entered the house after we had already checked in. The owner confirmed that he did live in the eyesore house and his son lives in an apartment over the pool house connected to the living quarters of the rental. As we unpacked, we noticed that even though the place was put together on the inside it just didn’t appear to be clean. My assumption was confirmed when the owner said he did not have cleaning service but that he, his wife, and son did all the cleaning. This is an 8 bedroom, 16 bed, 5 full bathroom property, you do the math. We entered the connecting pool as where his wife was still cleaning. The roof was leaking water onto a pool table that was uncovered which already appeared to have mold. After dinner that night we noticed that there was a lack of hot water as we were washing dishes. The next morning as we were going to take a shower there was no hot water. I messaged the owner and he promptly responded that he would investigate it. An hour later he came to the house and confirmed that his propane tank was empty and the meter on the tank must be broken because if reflected that there was ample gas. He apologized and said this has

Awesome Getaway Spot

The place is like the pictures. Really cool and unique spot. I went with 18 other friends for a weekend getaway in the woods and the place offered a lot of amenities and space for a great weekend. I read a lot of the reviews prior to booking and that helped in preparedness in what to bring/expect. The place does have lots of stairs. Wasn’t a issue for us. The stove and 2 gas grills/1 charcoal grill were great to cook steaks. We knew to bring charcoal. The place has 2 fridges, but I would only expect 1 to be working semi well. Takes forever to cool to the point you think they’re broke. Good thing we had several coolers so we didn’t have to open the fridges all the time cause it would have been more of an issue. Bedding and spaciousness of the house was great. Everyone was comfortable with our guests indoors. Internet here was basically nonexistent. Had to use phone service for any computers. No matter how you plug and unplug the router, still was poor signal or couldn’t connect devices. The pool space was awesome. One of a kind at a place like this. The back patio was huge, we enjoyed the fire pit, we tossed around the football and frisbee with plenty grass space (had several ant piles around), played spike ball, and took the kayaks out on the lake. Bruce stays nearby along with a couple other smaller properties on site. Both weren’t an issue. Bruce was helpful. Before, after and during, the booking. We would book again so you should book!
