COZY UP AT THE LAKE

This two bedroom, two bath home has been completely renovated into a contemporary dream and tastefully decorated in rustic modern decor. The living and dining area has an open concept for the togetherness you came for. You can watch the sunset inside from the reclining leather sofa or dinning table. The two large picture windows allow you to feel as though you’re on the lake and takes you out to the water.
The gourmet kitchen has granite countertops with top of the line all electric oven, convection oven microwave, glass stove top and dishwasher. There’s a side by side stainless steel refrigerator to load your goodies into. One small appliance treat is the Ninja blender to make delicious fruit smoothies. Also a Keurig for individual coffee time and taste.
There are two bathrooms, one has delightful turquoise and white colored tile with a tub/shower combination. The adjoining mud room is equipped with a washer and dryer, also towels for your lake swims. The other bath has a luxury shower with stone and tile. Both baths are filled with white fluffy towels.
The bedrooms are beautifully decorated for a cozy and tranquil sleep. The beds have one hundred percent Egyptian cotton sheets to slide into with comfy quilts and comforters. That’s the inside, now for the outside.
The large natural stone fire pit near the edge of the lake is where the most spectacular views are. They are ever changing from misty mornings to sunset evening and everything in between. The water constantly changes colors from the reflection of the sky. You never know what you will get. The wildlife certainly loves the lake as well. You will see an array of birds who just seem to stop by as they please. Brown Pelican, Great Blue Herons and Great Egrets commonly grace the lakefront. They may come in the yard or walk on the wooden dock. Off the dock is where you can go in for a refreshing swim. For the people who like to fish this is one quiet spot in the early morning or evening when the fish are jumping.
The long porch facing the lake has plenty of outdoor tables and chairs to have early morning coffee, have a breakfast or better yet a brunch for those who want to sleep in. There is a gas barbecue grill and if you desire you can eat dinner out there as well. Relaxing, rejuvenating and taking in nature and the lake will definitely ease your mind and body. This property is for those who want to read, relax, converse and just breath in the fresh air far away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Oh, and on a clear night, the stars are bright deep in the heart of Texas.

spring break getaway
We stayed here for spring break with my wife and two kids. The house was very clean and looked even better than the pictures. The kids loved the hammock and stayed on it for most of the trip. We brought our boat and there was plenty of parking which was a plus. The owners where very nice and easy to get a hold of for any questions we had. The only draw back was we caught fish and there is literally no where close to there to clean them, they don't want you cleaning them there, which I understand and also knew before hand. Other than that it was a great week although next time we will stay somewhere with a fish cleaning station.

Clean & beautiful
The pictures of their lake home are true and the communication with the hosts was excellent. It was a new experience for us from previous VRBO hosts. It was so relaxing and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of the lake and sunsets and plan a return trip next year.

Incredible Lake House
The Lake house was exactly as pictured but it was so much more beautiful in person. The home was modern and updated exactly what we were looking for. The attention to details in every room is what impressed us the most. We easily felt right at home. Great kitchen with everything we needed to cook a home meal. The unobstructed view of the lake from the living room, dining room and kitchen was breathtaking. We loved the fire pit sitting area so close to the water where it was serene and we immediately felt so relaxed. The most memorable was the view of the amazing sunsets from every front room. We don't usually get to see such beautiful sunset views in the city. Rich and Carol were outstanding in communicating throughout the process with any questions. This home deserves way more than 5 starts. It was the best place to celebrate my birthday along side my husband for a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend this Lake house and we will return.

Lakefront Getaway
This was an AMAZING getaway. If your looking for beautiful lake and sunset views, quiet time, peace, nature, then this is the place. Communication from the owners surpasses anything I've experienced before and everything lived up to the listing if not, exceeded. We had planned on eating out but after arriving the views quickly changed our minds. Grilled daily while enjoying the awe inspiring sunsets. We definitely recommend and will definitely be returning. Thank you so much for all the thought that went into this rental. Your attention to detail is second to none.

Lakefront Beauty
My wife and I spend eight wonderful night at this wonderful home. It location, directly lakefront, afforded a spectacular open water, fully unobstructed view. The house blended seamlessly with the outdoors and the lakefront....there are picture windows in both the dining and living areas. A built-in lakeside firepit makes for a wonderful place to enjoy the magnificent sunsets. In addition there is an outdoor hammock, sitting areas and fishing/swimming dock. The house is quite comfortable, and the hosts have provided many fine touches, making this feel like a very nice home. The two bedrooms each sport a comfortable king bed. The MBR has built-ins that provide generous storage space. The Hosts have done a fantastic job with the design, which would easily accommodate another couple. The hosts were great, accommodating and easy to communicate with. I fully recommend this Lake Livingston property.
