We loved this cabin!
We enjoyed and loved our stay at this lake front cabin! We enjoy the lake, having breakfast, lunch and dinner outside and enjoyed playing outdoors. Cabin is very equipped with everything needed. Bernadette was super informative, sweet and the best host! It was my son’s 5th birthday and she gave him a present! That melted our heart and he was super happy. Not just that, on Easter day they placed golden eggs in front of our cabin. We definitely be back to stay here! 🥰❤️

Birthday stay!!!!!
Property managers were friendly and easy to communicate with. Everything for staying comfortable was accessible and available. The lake level is extremely low, but we were informed of that beforehand. The boat docks could have a little more TLC with cleaning of spider webs. All in all it was a great place to relax and stay.

We booked this cabin on a whim and had a great time! Great views! Great meeting other families on the well established site. Clean and easy access to the water. Very responsive host. Only thing I could suggest is pack your own ziplocks or tin foil. Will be back.

RELAXING GETAWAY
Rick and Bernadette, the owners are very friendly and helpful if you needed anything. The cabin was dated, but clean and well stocked. The master bed was comfortable and the AC was great. Overall, my husband and I had a very relaxing time. If you want some entertainment, 25 miles away there's a Casino. We would visit again. Steve & Linda B.

Hey Steve & Linda, thanks for your review! And yes we purposely dated the cabins with knotty pine, etc, like the treasures of yesteryear (like when my parents took me to cabins at a lake in the eastern US). We loved it and it was our purpose to share that enjoyment. Look forward to seeing you again!

Overall not bad.
Master bed was great. The livingroom futon must go, It was beyond horrible. Hot water not so good.. Shower leaked all over floor.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 May 2022
Thanks for comments Perry. We changed the futon to a new leather couch, and in January redid the shower coving tile as it was slanted out instead of in. Both comment were good and corrected. Thanks!

The cabin was so cute and right by the lake. The host were so sweet and informative greeted us on our arrival and explained everything we had questions about. Our family had the best time the kids never left the water all weekend. Also they had everything you needed to make meals. We can’t wait to come back

Beautiful view, Excellent customer service
We had a great time of "get away" at B and R properties in Onalaska. The view of the Lake Livingston is great at day AND night. Our hosts were assertive in welcoming us and asking what our preferences were and offering help immediately upon requesting. They made things easy with regards to communication and accessibility and the cleanliness of our cabin. I wish we could have stayed longer. Plus, the amenities in the cabin and supplies are added detail, and the guide book. They take pride in their property and in ensuring guests have a great stay.

We were looking for a quit getaway location to sit and look at the lake and the wildlife. This location was crowded and near a noisy highway, so was not what we imagined a woodsy, lake retreat would be.

It’s a nice place but it’s by a high traffic road and it was noisy. Also it’s not a good fishing spot. Very shallow water even as we went out a few yards in a row boat.

It was a comfortable stay for what was expected
We had a great weekend "getaway" to the lake and appreciate the communication from the property owner. I felt it was odd that we "reserved" rentals for paddle boats and kayaks but then others used what we reserved and we reserved others. Given that we are in a pandemic, I was excited to be in a place away from others but am not sure if the property was/is professionally cleaned between stays. The last odd thing was that items in the place were listed with price tags to sale. I've never experienced that before. Otherwise place was nice, simple and about what we expected.

Hi Lauren, thank you for your review! We are sorry a guest took the 1 boat y’all rented which he said was cuz his legs were too long to peddle so he took another and when we found out that was why we let u use 2 others even though u only paid for 1. Cabins of course are professionally cleaned, disinfected w/ Proper bleach solution, counters/walls wiped down, furniture lysol sprayed, dishes and linens, beds covers, etc, in hottest water temperature settings, etc. We also flea treat after any pet (which few other places do), but that is what we use pet fees for and that also affects cleaning time 2 more hours. We also had blocked ur cabin a whole day in advance for Covid cleaning. Regarding price tags on some items, we thought it was neat on our anniversary trips seeing similar things done in more expensive places, bought items as momentum’s, and we had various people asked us if they could buy something In the cabin so we started adding a few tags and bought and store replacements in case someone wants something. You don’t need to purchase! Anyway your comments help give us opportunity to explain for other folks benefit so thank you!

Great Houston Getaway
Great Houston getaway! Our cabin was the perfect size for us- two adults and a baby. The owners were very friendly and checked in with us throughout our stay to see if we needed anything. We caught fish from the dock. The sunsets were beautiful. There’s enough grounds for everyone to feel like they have their own space to sit around a burn pit or barbecue. We came at a very hot time of the year, a box fan was provided outside and was a life saver for us. There are extension cords on the property so we were able to take the fan around to various spots. Swimming was an option for the kids, there is a lot of shallow area. The cabin was clean and well stocked and had great pots and pans. The air conditioners worked really well. Fishing boats/kayaks/paddle boats are available for an extra charge, which is a nice option. The cherry on top would’ve been an option to rent a motorized boat but the owner offered a nearby option. We ended up not going off site and still really enjoyed ourselves fishing off the dock. We had a wonderful stay and our family stayed in cabin number 4, what great memories!

Loved staying at Bernadette's lovely property. I got just the break I needed and was able to enjoy the scenic lake views with my morning coffee, bird watch, kayak, and sleep to my heart's content.

We didn’t catch many fish but the owners are so pleasant and kind. Bernadette checked on us everyday to see if we needed anything. She went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable. The cabin was cool, never became hot. Three ac units kept it nice and cool. Ceiling fans helped. Nice shower. Front porch was enjoyable to look at the sunrise over the lake and the piers are sturdy and equally enjoyable for the sunrise.

The cabin was compact and very clean with everything you need, just take your food and drinks. Rich and Bernadette were very gracious host and made us feel welcome. Supply stores were within minutes as well as fast food. If you are looking for an escape for a few days, this will work for you. we will be going back again. Don
