Birthday celebration

Would give this property a 5 Stars. Very clean, communication with Owner was excellent. We enjoyed the kayaks, walks in the neighborhood, grilling, and the wrap around porch was serene. Lots of reading and games as well. Thank you for great memories. Will definitely come back.

Love Blue Gill Bungalow!

We are seniors so the lack of things to do in the area wasn’t that big of a deal for us! It was to cold to go out on the lake, we were there in the winter months. Still, enjoyed the peace and quit and the wildlife! Howard was a gracious host! Comfortable beds & loved the openness of the house. I enjoyed using the jacuzzi bath! There are a lot of cute shops around Coldspring & in Livingston to check out. All in all, loved the property!

Relaxing wkend away

Enjoyed the peace and quiet at the Bungalow. It's décor is cute and the place had everything we needed. The drought kept us from accessing the lake from the property, but we drove to the state park close by and were able to get in from there. Communication was good with owner. FYI... don't use Apple maps for directions, it will send you to the wrong house and doesn't have updated roads in this particular area.

Bungalow of Joy

My husband and 12 yo son stayed in the bungalow over a weekend. We arrived at night, the place looked so inviting lit up. Seeing it in the day, made us light up. So much to see around the property and house, whimsical decor outside and in making it such a delight. Home was clean, linens smelled great, the owner has paid attention to detail to ensure you have a great stay.

About the host

Hosted by Howard Ransom

Buddy and Leo have owned this amazing lake property for over twenty years and we have enjoyed many wonderful memories with our family and close friends! The bungalow has been transformed throughout the years with several different and innovative renovation projects. In the early years of ownership, we added the covered patios, stone sidewalks, picket fence & pergolas and much of the landscaping plants/trees/grasses. In 2016, we completely renovated the interior of the home to create the double master bedroom & bathroom suites, the kitchen remodel with Amish-made wood block countertops and we even added the family room stone fireplace for a flair of romance!

What makes this property unique

Bluegill Bungalow is a unique property because of its semi-secluded location with over five acres of fenced natural beauty as well as easy access to Lake Livingston through the adjacent water slough(Big Creek).
