Stay was great - perfect accommodations for our visit with family in the neighborhood. Owner was immediately responsive whenever we had a question and so easy to work with in securing the reservation, checking in and checking out. Will definitely book again!

nice house, great location
The house was nice, the nature around it was even better.
This 3 bedroom home was very clean and we enjoyed the location across from the park. It was quite and comfortable. We definitely would book again. Our host, Kathy, was so sweet and answered any question we had.
Great communication with owner who answered all questions pre and post stay. Perfect and unique rental that worked really well for a couple as many properties only cater to big families. Great view and access to Lake Livingston. Highly recommend!

Thank you. It was wonderful having you at the Cape!
Katherine was kind and very accessible. She reached out to me within one week prior to arrival. We arrived at the property FRI at 11:30 PM, spent the night, and had breakfast with friends in the same community. The house was very cute and impeccable. We spent all Saturday Sailing and went for dinner to the wet deck bar at approx 30 min from Cape Royale. We left the cabin Sunday morning, hiked the Forrest path to the Marina, met our friends for lunch at their house, and drove back to Houston at about 6 PM. Our weekend was unforgettable. Thanks K!
Friends, I just have to take a minute and tell you what a wonderful person and host Katherine was to my family.
The short story is that my elderly mother, who lives nearby in the Coldspring’s area, had a tree fall on her house a few Sundays ago. She was not hurt, and friends came to help cover the roof, but the house was not livable due to water and power being knocked out in the storm. My mom uses a wheelchair or walker and has a nurse that provides care 5 days a week, so getting her somewhere comfortable was a priority.
I found the cabin on VRBO and made a reservation. I contacted Katherine and explained the situation. I'm getting a little emotional even now, thinking about how Katherine immediately responded, offered to help, asked about my Mom, and provided accommodations to help get her comfortable as soon as possible.
My deepest thanks to Katherine for all she did.
In addition, the cabin is wonderful! Peaceful, yet close to the lake and activities. Huge windows to look out toward the trees and water. We were even surprised as herds of deer would walk by the patio as the sun would start to set, and Katherine responded with "Oh, yeah. There is some deer feed by the door" because this is such a common event.
So, if you get the chance, don't pass up the opportunity to experience this get-away by Lake Livingston and enjoy the tranquility of East Texas.

I stayed during the off season so it was very quiet and peaceful. It is not water front property, but there is only a neighborhood park and street between the house and lake providing easy access to the shore. The house was comfortable and well equipped with everything I needed for my stay.
Katherine has been one of the most accommodative hosts we've had so far. This was our first time booking through VRBO and she was very flexible with a last minute reservation and made sure the house was in good shape for us. The location is beautiful with a ton of stuff to do, and the national park is close by. Also felt very safe in the community.
The property was awesome. The host was so gracious and captured every detail we’d need to make it feel like home. The location was amazing. I definitely recommend this property to anyone interested.
Katherine was very accommodating as we were evacuating from Hurricane Ida. They house was really nice with lots of amenities. It was right across from a little pocket park that overlooked the lake. We had deer visit us several times a day. The best thing about the house was the personal attention we got from the owner.
