Shirley Creek Lake House at Lake Sam Rayburn

Come visit this small slice of heaven 2 blocks from the Shirley Creek marina (which has a boat ramp, swimming area and lake access). Our 1.5 bed/1 bath completely remodeled A frame house is walking distance to the lake and marina.

The 900 square foot A frame house is conveniently located close to the lake with huge trees, wrap around porch and amazing views.

It is ideal for 2-3 people. It has a downstairs bedroom with a queen bed. The upstairs loft has a twin bed. The kitchen is great for cooking in and enjoying meals on the 400 square foot wrap around deck. The bathroom has a custom shower. The house has central Ac/heat and WiFi to keep you comfortable while you visit and relax.

A Perfect Lake Weekend

Only one word "Perfect". We stayed here in October 2021 and only thing was the driveway being dirt and messy after a rain. Well it's now concrete, so stay there if you can, you won't be disappointed. Clean, well kept, and minutes from a launch ramp.

Really enjoyed the quiet, peaceful downtime in the cute cabin. No TV in living room meant more time doing things together like games and puzzles. More conversation! Would definitely stay again!

Breathtaking

I chose this listing for a bday getaway to unplug. Everything about this place is remarkable. Communication with the host was great. As soon as I sent a message, within 2 minutes I had a response. Only issued that was had was the TV updating in the bedroom and wouldn't work but other than that everything was great! The listing is FULLY stocked. Everything that you could possibly think of was there and accessible.

Very clean and accommodating. Great view and a nice place to retreat to in order to get away from the hustle and bustle of big city life. Everything was in order and definitely one of my favorite stays.
