Perfect Getway

We fell in love with this house. Very clean and amenities offered, it went beyond expectations. It is an open layout with windows all around. Beautiful views of the lake layer out in front of you. The owner landscaped so any views of other residents were instead plants and trees giving a secluded feel. Fishing off the dock or sipping your coffee in the gazebo. Rocking gentally in the swing as you watch the waves lap amd the sun set. It was perfection. Close enough to town for a run to the store, but far enough out there is no traffic to disrupt your peace of mind. Our time at the lakehouse will be one of those memories that will be looked upon fondly until we are able to visit again. I strongly suggest if you are reading these reviews, look no further and book it. You will have a wonderful time.

Peaceful Retreat

This was a wonderful property for our family to gather and finally hold a memorial for our parents who passed away last year during Covid. The lake, the house, the amenities were all just perfect. The host is super communicative and helpful. Wildlife watching and incredible sunsets every evening made this a spectacular rental. Thank you for everything.

Absolutely Amazing Vacay Home & Fishing!

This large & beautiful home is planted on the side of a lake and has its own pier with great fishing. The sunrise/sunsets are spectacular. Nicely stocked place with all of the amenities, and chatting with the host about fishing was really helpful. We will absolutely be planning on a future visit :) Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Huskey

Having lived in 3 countries and traveled the world, I can appreciate this house as being special.

Why they chose this property

The sunsets last for 2 hours. Featured in Better Homes and Gardens, The Houstonian Magazine, and Coldwell Banker Real Estate as one of the Top Custom Homes with a View in Houston. The floor to ceiling windows offer panoramic views that are unmatched. Lake Houston is the drinking reservoir for Houston. As a result, there are virtually no boats on the lake. It really does feel like your own personal lake.

This was the very 1st house on Lake Houston and the 2nd pier on Lake Houston. My grandfather got the first choice of lots. He chose 2.5 lots with the best sunsets.

This house has been in my family since I was born. I have spent thousands of hours fishing this property and installing fish habitat.

What makes this property unique

The View! Floor to ceiling windows in the living room. Terrazzo floors and a deck that surrounds the house. The Gazebo is perfect for meals. The privacy of the lot, the lake, and the serenity pond all serve as anti-stress.
