It was a nice stay. The lake house has nice and surrounded with big trees for an outdoorsy feel. There was a tree swing our toddler enjoyed out back. Went down to the dock to fish. The home was clean, and the owner was very friendly.

Amazing Cabin

My family stayed here for the 4th of July weekend and had the best experience!! We fished, swam off the dock, watched fireworks from our boat and enjoyed watching all the deer. The cabin had fantastic A/C which we were very grateful for. There is plenty of space and tons of living space which is great for family time! The dock was a little bit of a walk but worth it. We were able to keep our boat tied up in there and it was so easy to take it out for short or long periods! Would definitely rent this cabin again, we had an amazing experience and a memorable weekend!!!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad it was a good weekend for you! The 4th is usually a really fun time on Lake Brownwood! And we are working on a plan to create access to the dock that does not include a walk down the road!!! Patti Jordan

Thanksgiving at the Lake House with the Family!

Patti had everything at the Lake House that you could want or need for your stay. Pretty much just need to bring your food. If you love nature it's the place for you all you have to do is just treat the property with love and respect. Deer grazing in the yard, turkeys gobbling, fish in the lake, etc. I WILL ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE and again Patti is the BEST! Thank you for making our family Thanksgiving AWESOME ma'am!

A wonderful, cozy cabin by the lake

This little house was perfect for our little getaway weekend! The pictures speak for themselves. There's plenty of space -- no close neighbors -- and comfortable places to sit and relax, either around the table, in the living area watching tv, or sitting outside on the patio under the trees. The lake is a short hike down a steep, rock road. The walk might be a challenge for an elderly person, for example, but there's plenty of shade and fresh air by the house, too. We will definitely try to stay here again in the future!

Miles Family Reunion

The host wad great as usual. It was super hot that weekend but the A/C was great. We stayed last year and there was a very noticeable difference in cleanliness inside and outside. Parking wad difficult. Trees and grass needs trimmed all aroukd the property. Patio was is disaray. TV was very small and hard to see by all. Boat dock was great and we enjoyed being able to dock our boat. Inside floors were not as clean as last year. The cabin was good, but not as good as last year. We still had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Patti Jordan

Host profile image
Our family's cabin was built by my grandparents in 1943 while my dad was overseas fighting in WWII. They lived at the lake for several years and I enjoyed lots of time there with all of our family from near and far.
After my parents' death, I bought the house from my cousins with the purpose of keeping it for our family and generations to come. It has become a place for weekend visits and family reunions!

Why they chose this property

This property is not finely manicured but instead has a well-maintained yet natural look to give you a secluded country feeling. Many of the homes in our area are full-time homes for the people around the cove. Others are vacation homes. But all are situated on beautiful Lake Brownwood and that
means fishing, swimming and fun!

What makes this property unique

We hope you'll enjoy the large patio that overlooks the lake. It is ready for you with a grill and seating for 8. The sun comes up over the lake on the patio side, so be sure not to sleep too late so you can enjoy the changing colors of the beautiful and unforgettable sunrise.
