About this property

Secluded cove! Fish, hike, hunt! Keep boat in water on private dock Sleeps 18

This beautiful A Frame is on a protected cove and nestled right in the middle of the Angelina National Forest on a secluded peninsula (six miles down Forest Service Roads) and right on gorgeous Lake Sam Rayburn. This spacious retreat sits on over an acre on a protected cove where you can fish and ski all day long. Boats can safely be kept in the water on a floating dock.
Since we are in the middle of the National Forest, you are steps away from hiking. Enjoy miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking and bird watching. Challenge your kids to a game of horse shoes, washers, corn hole or spike ball and then cool off in the lake.
The house has 5 bedrooms and two bathrooms and sleeps 18 in beds! It is fully equipped with Starlink high speed internet and Roku Smart Tv and DVD player and DVDs.
Plenty of dishes, utensils, kitchenware, pots and pans and everything you need to cook for a large group. Outside is a charcoal grill and a fire pit with a large grill top. In the garage is an extra refrigerator freezer and a washer and dryer. Inside dining seats 6 at the table and another 6 at the bar with seating for 16 outside on the deck. Bathrooms are stocked with plenty of towels and wash cloths, including beach towels.
All three downstairs bedrooms have queen size beds. The loft bedroom has a king bed and is upstairs. The bunk room is upstairs and has one queen, one full and six twin beds. All beds have very comfortable mattresses and high quality bedding and the full, queens and king beds all have super pillow top mattresses. They are so comfortable you won't want to get out of bed!!

The property has over 300' of shoreline. A two man kayak and a canoe is available with life vests. A large deck overlooks the water and has two large picnic tables and seating. If you're looking for the nicest place on the lake, this is it!

Awesome house on the lake

A beautiful house located in great area. This is my third time to stay here and will continue staying here. The owners were very nice and was sure to let us know if we needed anything to get with them. Definitely will be booking here again.

Beauty in the Pines

It was a beautiful place. The house had everything we needed. It made packing so easy. We had plenty of places to sit inside and out. They even have outside games and kayaks. We loved it there!

Great place to stay.

There has plenty of room for a large family. We used the canoe, kayak, paddle board, and ping-pong table and swam off the dock. While it is a little bit out of the way, you get more peace and quiet with the seclusion and the Brookshire Express in Broaddus is just a short drive. Also, the Dairy Mart restaurant also in Broaddus is a must. Would definitely go back.

Our family of 12 had an awesome time! This rental has everything you could want or need in a rental and Steve and Ferryn are so accommodating. They were next door and easily accessible to answer our questions. Our check in was a breeze. The place is so clean, with comfortable beds and a stocked kitchen. The guys caught lots of fish! The grandsons had so much fun fishing and using the little boat with the trolling motor! The girls enjoyed the Ping pong table and the games. This part of the lake was a good place for tubing and a short ride to an awesome beach area. The location is very quiet and secluded with beautiful sunsets. Thanks Ferryn and Steve for a great time on the lake. God willing we will see you next year!

Best Place on Sam Rayburn

18 Family members stayed for 4 days at this property from 12 to 68 and we always vote on the last day for next years location. It was a unanimous 18-0 vote to come back to this place next year. Which was shocking to me as I raised a few Prima Donna's lol. You could not find a better place on Sam Rayburn even if you doubled your budget

Family Reunion

Our family does a week together every year. It is a time in which we all look forward to. For the past several years, our family spent our time in Galveston, TX. This year we took a gamble and tried out Lake Sam Rayburn as we all spend our childhood there. Book the A-Frame was easy and met/exceeded all of our expectations. The area was quiet, the lake was right outside the door, the deck was wonderful, and the hosts were amazing and accommodating. Our kids spent every day in the lake and the fishing was top notch. We all agreed this was one of our best family reunions together.

Piece of heaven

It was a long dirt way drive for sure however it was the most peaceful, comfortable, safe place we have visited thus far. We started this family tradition trip since 2019. The host response was rapid and they were so kind. There were plenty beds and were super comfortable. The house was clean and homey, ac was cold and plenty of towels! Our kids loved the A frame design and walking out the back glass doors was the piece of heaven. The view along with fishing, swimming, canoeing, and hanging out it’s an all in one. Our family was definitely pleased and had voted to go back next year!

About the host

Hosted by Ferryn and Steve

Host profile image
We are retired teachers who live in the A Frame during the winter and at our next door cabin during rental season. We love to watch the sunsets, water ski, spot bald eagles and relax on the lake during the summer.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property in 2010 and planned to rent it until we retired. However, we are now retired and even though this will be our permanent address, we are going to continue renting because it has been such a positive experience. Our family owns the small cabin next door which enables us to enjoy the lake while renting the A Frame.

What makes this property unique

We use to think that the distance from Houston was too far (takes 2 1/2 to 3 hrs) but after spending time at some lakes close to Houston with the crowds, we think our lake is the best in Texas.
