WATERFRONT House in Peaceful Cove w/ Great Fishing

***IMPORTANT NOTICE - LAKE SAM RAYBURN WATER LEVELS: Please be advised that the water levels are currently very low due to ongoing dam repair operations being conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. As part of this work, water is being drained from the lake. There is no projected completion date for these repairs at this time.
While we understand that lake access and water activities may be an important part of your visit, we want to be transparent about current conditions. Boat and water access in the cove are NOT POSSIBLE at this time.
PLEASE NOTE: Refunds will not be issued due to low water levels, as this situation is beyond our control and has been clearly communicated in advance.
We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to reach out with any questions. Updated March 1, 2026***

Welcome to our beautiful lakefront cabin on Lake Sam Rayburn Reservoir near Broaddus, TX. This lake house is perfect for anglers, hunters, and families. Located less than five minutes from Broaddus, TX and the Jackson Hill Marina you will be close to stores, restaurants, and boat access while still feeling you are away from it all. Zavalla is twelve miles away and Cassels-Boykin public access is only ten miles away.

Walk less than one hundred feet and you are at the shore of a sheltered cove that is great for swimming, fishing and boating. Photography and birding possibilities abound-- regularly seen are bald eagles, cranes, egrets, hawks, turtles, otters, and deer.

For the anglers we have tried to meet your needs: conveniently located exterior outlets for charging your equipment and shoreline tie-offs for your boat if you so desire. The fishing here is amazing as well, with large-mouth and other assorted bass, crappie, gar and catfish waiting to hit your lines.

Hunters staying here will be pleasantly surprised at how close they are to hunting in the Angelina National Forest just a few minutes from the property.

For the chefs and foodies out there we have a fully furnished kitchen with all the utensils and cookware you need to make your culinary masterpiece. In addition we have a gas grill on an outside patio for the BBQ aficionados.

This home has wifi and internet TV with Sling, Netflix, Hulu, etc. For the kids and young at heart we have board games, dominoes, cards, etc. Not to mention our fire pit where hot dogs and marshmallows find their proper tasty end.

Thanks for visiting our site, we hope you choose to make your memories with us!

The property was great, very peaceful, quiet neighborhood. Friendly neighbors who keep an eye on things and really make things feel safe. Lots of shade trees, and walking distance from the water even though the lake was about 8ft low. We were able to beach our boat and walk to the house. Also, there was plenty of room to park the truck and boat in the driveway. Also, a great location on the lake.The house itself was clean and had just what we needed. Cold AC (and plenty of heat, we had to use both during our stay), stocked kitchen, and very comfortable mattresses and pillows.The hosts were very responsive and answered all of our questions. We would definitely stay here again!

It was just as described, lovely and peaceful. I was told ahead of time that the water level was low due to the damn being open. I chose to rent anyway and i am glad i did. Great little property tucked away in a quiet area.

Owners were very quick with communication. We had to adjust our dates after booking and they were very quick to adjust. Very clean and convenient location for daily fishing. If you’re not fishing, you can sit on the back porch and enjoy looking at the lake or going for a swim right from the back yard! We will be staying again! Highly recommend!

The property itself was just fine. A disclosure was given that the lake water level had been lowered. What we did not expect was to find that the cove behind the property was bone dry. We had brought fishing equipment and a kayak. This could have been better communicated we think.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Dec 2025
Dear Mitchell, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the property itself enjoyable, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify the water level situation. As clearly stated in the property description, the cove behind the home currently has no water access due to extremely low lake levels due to the level being lowered for repairs at the dam. This information is provided to help guests plan accordingly. We understand that fishing and kayaking were part of your plans, and we regret that the lack of water impacted your experience. Your comments are valuable, and we’ll continue working to ensure this information is communicated as clearly as possible for future guests. We hope future guests will thoroughly read the low water level notice and contact us with questions before booking.

Great little get away spot

Cute small lake house was the prefect little get away spot. Right on the water, we could leave our boat out. Let me just say the deer were out and about. When we first arrived there were 3 deer right near the back porch, it was so neat to see. Quiet area. Would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Erin

Host profile image
A group of friends bought this wonderful lake house home to share with their family and friends. Our eldest partner is a decorated Vietnam veteran who has many kids and grand-kids who enjoy the cabin. The two other partners are a dedicated couple who love to fish and participate in competition BBQ and chili cook-offs (Viva Terlingua!).

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the lakefront location and view first and foremost. The house has windows front to back so you never feel separated from the great outdoors. The property perfectly combines the feel of a quaint cabin with modern amenities including wifi and internet TV. We can't forget to mention the cove the property sits on as it is one of the best fishing coves on the lake. We routinely see tournament fisherman casting directly at our shoreline and catching big bass.

What makes this property unique

This is truly a lakefront property, not just a lake view. We have added some unique additions to enhance your stay like a fire pit with recycled pine tree seats, a fish cleaning station and an outdoor heated shower.
