It was a perfect spot for a short weekend stay. Accommodations were as advertised. The neighborhood was quiet and hoping to go back and enjoy the outdoor area when we have more time.
My son, his wife, and I stayed at Blue Gill Cottage for 2 nights. The house was well stocked with nifty kitchen items, comfortable beds, and things to do.
This peaceful lake side property was clean, thoughtfully stocked and a wonderful place to relax for the weekend. We enjoyed coffee on the dock listening to birds each morning, and kayaking in the afternoon. And spent our evenings around the large fire pit.
This property was well kept and perfect for our family getaway. The lake access and amenities is what sold me but the cottage was a plus, it felt like home. My wife loved the kitchen and home decor and I loved the deck and fire pit areas. We will definitely stay again.
I was looking for something quiet and peaceful to celebrate my husbands birthday. It was a great location, very peaceful, and right on the lake that allowed my husband time to do his favorite hobby - fishing. Will definitely be back again.
This place was a great spot for us to stay while visiting family in Texas. Enjoyed the decks, kayaks, and paddle boat as well as the fire pit. Only negative is that with the hard water in the area you have to use a lot of bottled water and there isn't any recycling. Nothing that this place can help, but perhaps knowing that I can come better prepared if we were to stay here again.
Owner was very communicative and thought of everything. Truly a lovely place.
I had to visit my uncle who is in bad health and needed to find a place close and promptly. The host was very accommodating for arriving early and I appreciate it very much. I would love to stay longer to enjoy the amenities. We will be back.
We had a fantastic time during our stay at this property! The home was not only clean and well-maintained but also thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed to feel comfortable and at ease.One of the highlights of our trip was being able to spend quality time with our oldest son. The cozy and inviting atmosphere of the home made it the perfect setting for family meals, conversations, and just relaxing together. The location was ideal—quiet and peaceful, yet conveniently close to everything we wanted to explore.The hosts were attentive and responsive, ensuring we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It’s clear they’ve put a lot of care into making their property welcoming for guests.We’re so grateful for the memories we made here and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay. We hope to return again soon!
everything about the house always amazing. Clean, relaxing, had every amenity to make the stay 100% better. Would 10/10 recommend if you are thinking about wanting a lake getaway trip!
We spent a peaceful Fourth of July weekend here, and it was perfect. The neighborhood is quiet and welcoming, and the house is thoughtfully stocked with everything you need for a relaxing long weekend. We felt right at home in the cozy cottage, and the lake was clean and beautiful. We would gladly stay here again!
My family absolutely loves this place. So cozy and comfortable, just right for our family of 5. The kids love the pedal boats and kayaks and fishing right off the dock. Such a beautiful peaceful place. One of our favorite vrbos ever!
We had an incredible time staying at this little lake house! It was beautifully decorated, was thoughtfully stocked with items we'd need during the stay, and there was so much to do here (thanks to the host) between the paddle boats, kayaks, a fire pit, fishing poles, and dart board. This little lake was perfect, with many nooks and crannies to explore on the boats, as well as lots of fish, turtles, birds, etc. The host was also very quick to answer any questions we had during our stay. We definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing outdoorsy getaway!
One of the best mini vacations, ever!! My family and I felt right at home. The host was awesome. The house had everything we needed, including supplies, that made the trip even more enjoyable. This place is a keeper. My family and I plan to return during the summer!!
Everything was thought of in this wonderful cottage/cabin. Impecable cleanliness and top of the line amenities. Kayaks and Paddle boats were used each day and although not a single fish was caught, a great time was had by all. Will definitely be back!
