We have been up and going now for a few months now.  In that time we have hosted 6 super awesome groups and families and the reviews are in.   These are some of the wonderful reviews that our past guests have left us! 03/12/2024 - Ches L. (Tyler, TX) Was a great place to hang out for a few days of spring break and put in some practice for an upcoming bass tournament. We had a great time. I watched the sunset every evening and enjoyed just sitting on the porch.  The neighborhood is very quiet!  We were very comfortable here & you have decorated perfectly!  The kitchen had everything we needed - Thanks for everything. 03/01/2024 - Cody M. ( Collinsville, TX) Stayed the weekend for a fishing tournament. Place was as advertised and plenty of room for boat parking. 02/25/2024 - Patricia (Euless, TX) This lake house had everything we could want and more! As soon as we walked in we were greeted with the relaxing feel of the home and we were impressed with how ...

Trimmed back mesquite trees and nuisance scrub brush that was growing near the shore and basically blocking the views.  I think it is looking so much better now.  Still a lot more to do.  What do you think?  Let us know.  Posts will probably be a bit slower now.  We still have a lot of plans and improvements to make but they will be done now in between guests.  Come check us out!

We got around to naming the rooms.  Yes. It's pretty silly.  But we are too.  I think it will make it easier for everyone to claim their favorite room or know where to unpack their stuff.  Also if anyone notices any changes or updates that we might need to make, this helps out also.  So here they are. The Eagle's Nest (The Master Bedroom) The Sunrise Room The Sunset Room The Roost (The Upstairs King Bed Side) The Bunkroom (The Upstairs Bunk Bed Side) 🏡 The Sunrise Room The Sunset Room & The Bathroom (haha) I will post photos of the other 3 later. What do you think?  Let us know and hope to see you soon.

We put in some much-needed additional railing on the back porch.  Now we just need to stain it.  I might even put a little gate on there too. I got the fence repaired again.  This seems to be a never ending job.  I am probably going to have to drop the hammer and replace a lot of these boards. But the price of lumber is outrageous. What you are looking at here is a wonky angle photo of the new heater unit installed in the master bathroom.  It still has the tape around it, because we had to touch up the paint on the ceiling. Put up 3 new smoke detectors. Installed a carbon monoxide detector.  Pretty useless because everything in the house is electric.  But the short term rental websites require one. So we have one. Got a ring toss game for the porch.  Now I just need to put it up. I converted some unused space above to microwave into additional cabinet space.  ...
