About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I are Native Texans and have lived in the Houston area for over 25 years. We both love the outdoors, going to the Houston Rodeo and the Texans!

Why they chose this property

This property immediately spoke to us when we found it - to have a million dollar view on such a wonderful lake is worth sharing! We love the fact that its considered a nature lover's lake, so it's not littered with a sea of boat docks, tons of people and no trash- so serene and peaceful!

What makes this property unique

This waterfront property sits high above to receive maximum views of the open waters of Big Sam! It is also filled with deer walking right through our yard, as well as eagles nesting right next door! Lots of room to roam, explore and to get away from it all-
