Luxury Lakefront Lodge - Private Water Trampoline, Open Boat Slip, Family Ready!

5 bedroom house including a detached casita that comfortably sleeps 14 adults + more kids. Perfect for families, stocked with everything needed for a baby to big kid to eat, sleep and play. A gorgeous shaded backyard provides respite from the hottest Texas days for backyard games (provided). Detached climate controlled casita features a full sized queen bed and a half bath. The extra-long patio offers stunning views of the lake, including the most breathtaking sunset you’ll ever experience. Covered patio with grill has a picnic table (table cloths and fly tents provided) so you can enjoy the breeze and overlook the lake while dining.

The property has two docks: one where the jetskis are stored that is perfect for swimming, rope swinging & shaded lakeside-lounging, & second dock for boats. Lake seats, a stand-up paddle board and a kayak for your use are provided. The second dock houses the boats with an open boat slip to bring your own boat (without a lift, please see photo for measurements). The marina is a 3-minute boat ride away and a .2 mile drive to launch your boat.

MORE ON THE HOUSE
Enjoy astounding lake views from nearly every room of the house from the ample picture windows. All rooms are very comfortably appointed with plenty of cozy and practical seating options for gathering. Enjoy an evening around the game table playing poker, dominos, chess/checkers, or any of the other supplied games (including many kid games!) with a perfect view of the sunset. The house has two primary suites- a downstairs queen with an ensuite bathroom and an upstairs King with an ensuite bathroom. The upstairs king primary has a walk in closet converted to a nursery. No stairs are required to enter the house or enjoy the living spaces. The only space upstairs is the secondary king master and bathroom.

The bunk room features two XL twin over twin bunks so they are suitable for adults and kids alike.

Two living spaces offer a place for the kiddos to chill out at the end of the day while the adults do the same in a more serene space. Both the game room and living rooms have TVs. The game room has an Xbox with 4 controllers and lots of games, as well as many family-friendly DVDs. Main living room has provided streaming services available.

A fully stocked kitchen offers everything you will need to cook for and serve the up to 14 guests you may have at the house, including kids plates/cups/utensils.

The detached casita features a full sized queen murphy bed + a half bath. Tables and chairs in this room make it also an option for anyone who needs a quiet space to work during their stay. The casita also has a treadmill overlooking the lake, free weights, and other exercise equipment, including a detachable treadmill desk.

For those visiting during the winter months, an indoor wood-burning fireplace and an outdoor firepit make this lakeside lodge the coziest place to spend a dreary fall or winter day.

The house is powered primarily by solar panels! Cool off after a long day on the lake with energy sourced from the sun!

MORE ON THE LAKE AMENITIES
Lake floats, a kayak, and a stand-up paddle board are available for your use as are 35 - 55 lb lifevests for the kiddos. Upon booking a reservation, you'll receive information on renting watercrafts and lake toys with a discount code for Lakeside Lodge guests.

MORE ON THE LOCATION
Conveniently located in West Livingston, making it one of the quickest drives from the Houston area. Walk to the Wet Deck (21 and up only after 4 p.m.) for some nightlife or to grab a casual lunch with the family. Hop to the marina - a .2-mile drive - to launch watercrafts and gas up. A 5 - 10 minute boat ride will get you to the oh-so-loved Pine Island. Enjoy a handful of inviting restaurants, even a winery, within 10 - 15 minutes from the property (see my guidebook for more recommendations!). Lake Livingston State Park is a 6-minute drive. Livingston Municipal Golf Course is a 15 minutes drive, as is Matthews Street Park featuring a pool, trails, pavilions, tennis, playground, and more.

Another benefit of the West Livingston location…the AMAZING sunset over the lake. It can’t be beaten!
