House in Alba Texas.
Very comfortable place to state. Well maintain and felt welcome. Would stay here again.
This was a perfect home for connecting with nature while disconnecting from social media. The lake view was beautiful and the host provided everything needed for a comfortable stay. I’m definitely planning to stay here again - really enjoyed my time here.

April Fishing Trip
The property was excellent, clean and comfortable. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend anyone planning a trip to the Lake Fork area to consider this property.
We enjoyed this house alot. Close and convenient to launch the boat. Listing said no cell service but we all had cell cervice with us cellular, verizon, and AT&T. We would definitely stay here again if we make the trip back down again.
The property was pleasantly secluded, neighbors were very nice. Photos on the site doesn’t do justice to the house. Spoke with the owner and he was a super nice guy.Looking forward to visiting again
We very much enjoyed our stay here! It is in the perfect location if you are a fisherman, even the dock was great to fish off! The local contact was amazing and very friendly. Made sure we were taken care of. Beautiful property! Would highly recommend!
This home was filled with everything we could have needed. Extremely clean, super friendly owner! The location was perfect. We have already discussed going back. Thanks for an incredible experience!
The check in and out process was very easy. Directions were simple, but thorough. House was clean and equipt with everything needed. Beds were comfortable. Shady back yard made it nice during the Texas heat.

Wonderful Vacation Getaway!!
This was everything we expected and more! It was, beautiful, relaxing & fisherman friendly! We brought our Bass Boat & able to back it into the garage plus tie it to the boat dock whenever we wanted. The kitchen was stocked with condiments and plenty of cookware. The charcoal grill on the back deck was handy for grilling steaks! Great place!!

Peaceful Retreat
Excellent location for fishing. Great house layout for family or group of 5-6 people. Boat dock offers excellent fishing opportunities for bass, crappie and catfish depending on the season. House is located within 10 minutes of boat ramps, marinas and several restaurants. Very peaceful and quiet neighborhood for a great retreat. Highly recommended.
Very nice, matched right up with listing. Hot but did some fishing not catching. But all good, was more of a get away. Didn't really expect much on the catching as I have been on Fork a lot, used to have a camp here. Would definitely rent again.
The house was clean and well stocked with lots of thoughtful touches. Great location right on Lake Fork, short drive from Alba or Emory. Host very was responsive once he made first contact with us a few days before our stay. (NOTE: questions through VRBO’s “Contact Host” function went unanswered.)All appliances were in working order. Kitchen was adequately stocked with basics for cooking, including the best cookware set I’ve seen in a rental. The bedding and towels were nice, and there were plenty for the number of guests. Large area to sit outdoors under the canopy of trees when the sun is on the deck. Wide path down to the boat dock. Two things missing from the VRBO listing were that the property does have a basic charcoal grill and that the coffee maker is a drip coffee maker. There is no cable, dish or internet but cell service was adequate. Host has an antenna hooked up for TV which was fine for our needs.
Our host was very cordial and gave us good information before and during our stay. It is a lovely house, well furnished with a beautiful lake view. We would definitely stay there again.
This was everything we hoped for. Extremely clean, with a great location. No through traffic on the Street and quite. Sits on a large lot. Back deck gives an awesome view of the sunup which is priceless. My brother is a disabled Vietnam Vet, and this place was truly perfect.
