We had a great stay! Everything went smoothly, and the place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The slide was a lot of fun, and having extra life jackets available was a huge plus! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

From the moment we walked in the house, it felt like home. So comfortable and spacious. Having coffee on the deck while listening to the water and birds was so relaxing. Could not have asked for a better place to stay. Will definitely stay there every time we come back to the area.

I brought my 3 grand kids and a friend to the lake. We all had a wonderful time. Fishing, swimming and paddle boarding. The kids made use of the slide on the dock too. The view from the cabin was beautiful. Morning coffee on the porch was a great way to wake up and enjoy the view and a little peace and quiet. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Kitchen could use a few more supplies. A larger skillet for cooking breakfast for a family would be helpful. The convenience of a washer and dryer in the cabin helped with the wet swimsuits. We will definitely come again.

The house was a perfect setup for us. The kitchen is well stocked and spacious, the grill works great and it was very nice to be able to clean our fish at the boathouse. Worked out great for the 6 of us and we will be returning! Thanks!

Our family got together this past weekend at the lakehouse and we all had a wonderful time. There were only a couple of things that needed attention around the house but nothing that interfered with our stay. If we had advised the owner, I’m sure both items would have been taken care of immediately, but we didn’t find either that important. If we ever come back to this area, we would definitely consider this home again. Maybe next time in the summer so we could take advantage more of the outdoors.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the lake house over the holidays—it was the perfect spot for our family gathering! The large deck offered stunning lake views that we enjoyed every morning with coffee and every evening watching the sunset before roasting marshmallows with little ones. Fishing was fun and we caught some right off the dock. Hosting our Christmas party here was a dream—the spacious layout accommodated all the kids, grandkids, and even the great-grandkids comfortably, with room for games, meals, and opening presents by the tree. Everything was clean, well-equipped, and just as described. We would book again in a heartbeat! We made lasting memories and Penny, our host was very kind. Highly recommend for family getaways!!!

This was about the most perfect house we’ve ever rented! The bedrooms and living spaces are huge! So many times pictures make places look better/more spacious than they really are, but there was no false advertising here! The deck and deck furniture was perfect for enjoying the outdoor space as well and the view of the lake was absolutely incredible. The kids loved the deck on the boat house and had a blast playing in the water. This was the most perfect family vacation in the most perfect house! There is even a water cooler with filtered water which was awesome, it drives me nuts to always have water bottles laying around every where. Another wonderful surprise was laundry soap that was also provided! A few notes, the main bedroom has a VERY firm matress, which was a bit difficult on my back because I’m a side sleeper. Make sure you bring your own toiletries, only hand soap was provided in the bathrooms, and if your stay is more than a couple of days, bring an extra roll or two of toilet paper. Overall, this is an absolutely incredible house that I hope to rent again in the very near future!

The house was clean. Peggy was very quick to respond. I wish my husband was going back to the area for work before school starts we would come again. We enjoyed the views and the slide. Next time we may try to catch a fish or 2 !

Lake Murvaul Hidden Gem

Stayed here for my son’s weekend baseball tournament in nearby Center with my family of 5 and my parents. It was wonderful. They even left a good luck baseball sign and snack basket for my son who loved it! We fish a lot since we have a large pond behind our house and we very much enjoyed fishing here! It was great and we caught a lot! The portacool on the deck was a very nice unexpected treat in the June Texas heat. This was a hidden gem that we were so pleased to have found and we can’t wait to hopefully visit again! Thank you!

My husband and I kicked off our first summer as empty nesters with a stay at this perfect lake house. It is right on the lake with great views. My husband was pleased with the dock and the fish-cleaning station and the space to park his boat. The public boat ramp was close and the marina was only a short boat ride away. We were impressed with the quality of the bed and towels. I was also happy with the items that were provided such as bottled water, soaps, shampoo, laundry and kitchen supplies, etc. there was also a large first aid kit. The house is very spacious and could definitely work for our future family gatherings. Communication with the host was awesome! We will be back.
