About this property

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!

Pleasant Stay

This is a cute A-frame with excellent views of the lake! The drive into the subdivision is dusty but so worth it. The fishing was very good! There are a lot of amenities. Check-in and check-out was very easy. I highly recommend this rental. Ferryn was friendly and helpful.

Great Place

We have used the place for the last 2 years for our Family Vacation. Absolute best place I have found for a large group at the absolute best price. You could spend double the amount and still not have as nice a place / Location as this. I 110% recommend the A Frame House

Beautiful location

This A frame is located on a beautiful lake with tons of wildlife and stunning views. Me and my family loved the trip. The home comes with everything you need to have an enjoyable stay. Plenty of room for the 15 guests. We had our wedding at this location and was perfect. Hosts are very friendly and easy to communicate with. The only downfall I would say is there were multiple large cobwebs throughout the home that could easily be removed along with the pillow in the home could for sure use replacing. When leaving and taking the pillowcases off to be washed we noticed multiple pillows with very large yellow stains and one appeared to be blood.

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.

Absolutely fantastic

Our families reunion with our matriarch and her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We have been going to Lake San Rayburn for over 50 years and I have to say this was the best time we have ever had. A lot of this was the A Frame house and location. Host was great, house was very accommodating. They had everything we needed and wanted. I would give this 5 stars everyday. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay

Didn't Want To Leave

My husband, his brother, our sister-in-law, and I went for a 4-day getaway. It was heaven! We met one of the owners the first night. He was very friendly and gave us some great tips for getting supplies and food. We enjoyed the fishing and the quiet surroundings. The A-frame is comfortable and set up for a huge gathering. I would recommend this location to anyone with kids or who loves to fish or just enjoys being outside to soak up nature. It's a wonderful place!!!

Great getaway <3 hrs from Houston

We had a great time at the Aframe trying to beat the Houston heat and celebrate August birthdays. Great access to the lake, amenities for outdoor activities, fishing was excellent. Cabin was well equipped and our group was as comfortable as we could be despite the 100+ degree heat. We would definitely consider coming back with a group again in the future!

Relaxing with plenty to do!

Stayed here a few days with the family, the owners were super nice to let us in early and let us take what time we needed to leave! The view is absolutely beautiful from inside or outside the house, we loved sitting out on the deck while the others fished and moved closer to the water as the day went on. A fantastic spot to fish/canoe/swim, and to just spend quality time with family! We look forward to booking this place again in the future!

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

About the host

Hosted by Ferryn and Steve

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.
