We loved it - and have already booked it for our next trip to Lake Livingston!The house was exactly as described and has a great view of the lake. The dock is new and is good for fishing as well as using the rope swing to splash into the lake.There are plenty of seating options both inside and outside.Tony and Marilyn are great hosts!

Great place to stay, the owner was there to greet us when checked. Mr. Taylor worked with us on the check in and check out times which was greatly appreciated. With the winds coming up on the Lake he assisted my husband and son in getting the boat in the lift to prevent any damage to the boat. The residence was equipped with everything needed, just bring the groceries. No board required as fishing from the pier was great, plan to rent again. Have rented several difference places, this is best of them all.

Nice Getaway

The host is very communicative and responds to questions in a timely manner. They met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the property and where things were and how they worked. They are also very generous as we had lost power at our house to recent storms and they let us check in a little earlier than the stated check in time. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to just sit back and relax. We caught a lot of little catfish and a few small baby bass off the well lit dock. Overall it was an enjoyable weekend and we will be booking this location again in the future.
