The cottage is sitting by Sleepy Hollow Lake, offering a peaceful experience but plenty of adventure, from fishing to kayaking/boating.

Pedal boats, kayaks and fishing gears are available on site (no extra fees). The place also offers a full kitchen with all essential supplies (oil, spices, sauces, etc.), bakeware, utensils and equipment (crock pot, oven, etc.).

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.

Wonderful place
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.

Just what we needed
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.

Peace and quiet
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.

Memorial Day Weekend - Amazing Stay
This property is AMAZING! Location easy to find using GPS - very, very clean. The paddle boat and kayaks were a hit with my family (pre-teen and 9 year old). Life jackets were available as well. House was stocked with toiletries and spices/cookware. This place is perfect if you are looking for a quiet neighborhood - quiet lake - fishing - riding the paddleboat on the lake. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic
The cabin was spotlessly clean inside and had everything you could possibly think of or need except groceries and firewood. It's a very quiet and very pretty location and we loved sitting out on the decks near the water and building a fire in the fire pit. My husband loves to fish and within 15 minutes of fishing from the dock he landed a 5lb 7oz LM bass. The lakes and parks nearby are great places to visit and the food in the area is amazing. The owner is very helpful and considerate. We can't say enough good things about our stay here.

Weekend getaway
We wanted to spent a long weekend not too far from the gulf coast area. We were lucky to find this quaint lake cottage beautifully decorated and only one and a half hour from Houston in the Goodrich/Livingston area. It is equipped with everything you may need for your stay. A really big kitchen with plenty of sitting, two big bedrooms, one bath with rain shower, a laundry room, and a large screened porch looking to the lake. The backyard is fenomenal with a fire pit, a dock for the kayaks and pedal boat provided by the owner. We had an absolute awesome time.
