Host was very welcoming! Strongly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet little getaway. Amenities are great and host provided game boards, smart tv’s and plenty of towels which were an added bonus. Lake is a short walk away with amazing views.

A nice cabin on a lovely piece of land right by the lake. We particularly enjoyed the views over the lake and walking around the property.

Loved our stay!

10/10 recommend this adorable cabin. Just a short walk from the lake and .2 miles from a public boat launch- literally around the corner. The cabin had everything you needed and the hosts were the sweetest couple. Super clean and comfortable. If you're looking for a nice place to relax and unwind- this is it!

Gorgeous Getaway

I chose this spot for the excellent stargazing and boy did it deliver! The house and property were perfect and the lake was just mere steps away with chairs to sit and watch the water. I hope to go back again!

The cabin was absolutely amazing. Everything you could ask for was there. The hosts were very friendly and an absolute joy to be around. The place was beautiful and we spent my birthday weekend here and finished it up getting engaged. Couldn't think of a nicer or more intimate place for this.

Great place for a quiet stay and comfortable homey feeling! Host was awesome - very friendly and provided everything for my stay! Loved the decor in the cabin and full furnishings! The bed was comfy and warm in mid November! Lake was too low to fish and there is plenty of space for hiking and nature - loved the deer coming to greet me! Not too far from Lufkin for plenty of supplies and restaurants! On their private land, it is so peaceful and enjoyed a couple of fires! Thank you for a refreshing stay!

Just an awesome getaway

The tiny home doesn't lack anything someone could need for even a longer stay. Samantha, the host and her husband are so nice and sweet and fun to talk to. We have felt very welcome on their property and will be back. The tiny home is located just a few yards from lake Sam Rayburn. It was a joy to sit on the covered patio and to enjoy the morning coffee while we could watch the deer feed in a close distance. We highly recommend this property to everyone who wants to spend a few relaxing days in nature.

Superb Hosts & Excellent stay off the beaten path

The tiny home itself was wonderful and cozy. There were so many special touches that added the perfect charm to a tiny home on the lake. Our hosts met us upon checking in and were very nice and friendly. It was so quiet at night, not even a car on the road could be heard. They provided coffee and items to be used in the Keri, a grill with propane was there, as well as basic kitchen amenities. The lake is about a ten minute walk or a two minute drive and can be seen from the tiny homes patio. The bed and pillows were super comfy and there was plenty of hot water to go around! We will definitely be staying here again. It was close enough to home, but far enough away for a weekend getaway for two.
