LAKEFRONT CHALET, FLOATING DECK, LARGE YARD, GRILL, CHIMINEA, ALL NEW APPLIANCES

Cozy waterfront Chalet nestled in Big Thicket, 17 miles from Livingston, Texas, just outside Ace, TX, 56 miles north of Houston Intercontinental Airport.
This quiet, charming Chalet on a private cove will beckon you back, again and again!
Enjoy the slow pace, peacefulness and sheer beauty of nature all around you on this quiet fishing lake!

Grab a beverage, a good book or fishing pole and come relax on the floating deck! Have breakfast, lunch or dinner there! Gentle movement on water is guaranteed to wipe your stress away! Sitting in the comfy Adirondack chairs underneath the deck's tin roof, enjoy sunlight dancing on water, or bask in the sun on the foredeck, letting all your cares drift away, or just take a little snooze if you wish!

Accommodations: 1 cozy loft bedroom with queen size bed, 1 downstairs bedroom with full- size bed, air-conditioned, woodburning fireplace, electric fireplaces, Internet(high-speed DSL), ROKU TV, Blu-ray player, Cassette player, movie library, small reading library including children’s books, games, large yard, grill, Chiminea.

Area is great for bird and nature watching, biking, running, or just strolling in the country!

Pets:
Your house-trained dogs are welcome with a Pet Fee of $100 for a maximum of 2 canines.
Poop bags are furnished for picking up after your pet.
Leashes are required outside the fenced property.

ALL NEW APPLIANCES: Electric Stove with Air-Fryer/Convection Oven, Refrigerator, Dishwasher and
NEW and lovely, very comfortable, leather loveseat.
NEW Gel Cooled mattress in the downstairs bedroom.
ROKU TV.

NO SWIMMING ALLOWED: This is a stocked fishing lake. We do not permit swimming. One reason is due to the close proximity of the Trinity River. An occasional Alligator has been known to visit and make it their home.

NO BOATS CAN BE BROUGHT IN.
Outside boats are not permitted on our lake. In the past, they were allowed. However, we incurred over $100,000 in fees to clean out what outside boats brought in. We had to kill all plant life, wait a year and are still working on replacing proper plant life in the lake.

Unfortunately, our boat sank in the boat slip due to being vandalized. Sadly, it is no longer available.

SECURITY CAMERAS: This property is monitored by live video security cameras 24/7. They are there for the security of the property as well as for guest’s security. Guests are welcome to unplug the cameras while on the premises. They just need to be sure to plug them back in prior to departing. Thank you in advance for your compliance!

I looked at several options and feel so fortunate that I chose this special home. Patricia, our host, made the stay feel especially welcoming with the heaters on, fragrant candles burning and pup treats for the furbaby. She filled the bird feeders so the birds, brilliant cardinals, goldfinch, yellow rump warblers were abundant the entire stay. A few feet from the front door. Patrica is super easy to communicate with also. The location couldn’t have been more scenic and soul refreshing. The “Chalet” felt like a resort but so homey. Well stocked kitchen with modern appliances, wood ready for the fireplace. Waking up in the loft looking out the at the beautiful sunrise and feeling like I slept at the top of the oak tree. Large fenced yard for the dog. Catch (and release for me) big catfish! Great Egrets, Blue Heron, gator in the distance.I plan on returning for a sister trip.

Pretty, cozy little cabin tucked in on the lake, perfect for a couples get-a-way. Loved sitting on the porch or floating dock and watching the sun come up with a slight fog on the water. Lots of birds and squirrels to keep a person entertained. Even had the pleasure of watching a young alligator trolling across the water. Would certainly recommend.

An absolute delight

Patricia has such a keen eye for detail and ensured our stay was absolutely seamless. An absolute angel! First and foremost, the property description was spot on and her lovely cabin was exactly what we expected. The check-in and check-out instructions were incredibly thorough and we had all the information we needed about wifi, troubleshooting the TV, etc. There was bug spray, fishing rods, plenty of fire wood, cooking equipment, basic seasonings and tons more. Our two pups LOVED running around the huge fenced yard and lounging by the lake. We truly could not have asked for a better place to stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Peaceful Getaway

This property is just as pictured. It is a cozy, lovely little place with views of the water as your constant companion. It is very quiet and truly “away from it all”. We loved having coffee on the front porch and watching the birds in the morning and having cocktails in the evening by the water with a fire in the chiminea.

Very Dog Friendly Stay! 2 hour drive from Houston Tx

Amazing stay at this adorable 2-bedroom, 1-bath lake house, and I can't say enough good things! It’s super dog-friendly, which was a huge win for us. Our dogs loved running around the fenced-in yard, sniffing everything in sight! The house smelled incredible and was stocked with all the kitchen gadgets we could ever need. Make sure to wake up early to catch the sunrise over the lake; it’s totally worth it. We enjoyed watching the sun come up from both the couch and outside—it was such a peaceful way to start the day. I highly recommend this place! The host was super accommodating and easy to chat with, which made our stay even better. Since we live so close to Houston, we’ll definitely be back whenever we need a little getaway!

Relaxing Getaway

The rental is in a quiet and peaceful location. Nature is all around you and there are so many sitting areas outside to take it in.. My husband fished and I watched the squirrels and the birds. The floating dock was perfect. The kitchen is equipped with everything. Patricia is an amazing host. She provided restaurants for us to visit. She knew the best place for my husband to get bait.. The house is cozy and has books, games, dvds, VCR tapes and all kinds of things to keep you busy. We will be back, it was a cozy retreat and a great escape from the city.

Communication with Patricia was easy, a message was immediately sent after booking via VRBO with her cell number in case of any other questions. Our dog was also able to run around the fenced in yard without us having to worry about him getting out. There is also good fishing here, we caught lots of fish! So much fun!

We enjoyed our stay here on the lake. Patricia was prompt to respond and answer questions related to the water levels nearing our stay. The house was just as advertised. The loft room could get warm (especially with 100° outside) during the day but temperature was very comfortable on the main level and everywhere in the evenings. Kitchen had lots of pots and pans to cook. Views of the water were lovely and the area was quiet and restful for our weekend getaway.

Weekend Getaway

We enjoyed staying at this chalet. It was really cute. The fenced yard was huge which was great for our 2 dogs. The fishing was great, although the large tree overhanging the water made it difficult to cast in certain areas. (You could see lots of bobbers tangled in the branches. lol) There were some hiccups regarding entry into the neighborhood, but Patricia was very helpful in getting it sorted out. She is very nice and communicative and wanted to make sure we had a great stay. Overall, we had a really great time!

Big disappointment

I've stayed in dozens of VRBO properties for many years and this is the worst experience I have ever had. Two main issues. The property clearly says that there was a fenced yard with I took to mean it had a secure area for our dog. What we found was a fence on two sides and open water on the other two sides. I saw this in the pictures on the website but assumed that there was another area on the property that was properly fenced. This was a huge problem whether we had a dog or a child. The second problem was checking in. The check in information was never emailed to me and it did not appear on the website so we arrived at the property after an 8 hours drive and the gate to the property was locked. I tried numerous times to contact the owner but the call clicked off. I finally got her to call back by texting her and she was completely rude, condescending, and defensive. We ended up staying one night and left. Patricia never apologized or offered any compensation.

Perfect quiet getaway

My fiancee and I took our two dogs to stay at this lake house for a few days. The property is beautiful and quiet, there was ample space for the dogs to run and we enjoyed lounging around on the floating deck and by the fire in the outdoor chiminea. I highly recommend this place if you're looking to just get away and recharge, and if you wake up early enough to watch the sun rise over the water, you won't be disappointed.
