WONDERFUL COUNTRY LAKE HOME AT LAKE JACKSON W/ FREE PONTOON

Richard and Dottie are awesome people to rent from! This was our 4th year in a row at Lake Jackson renting one of their two lakefront properties. We do a management retreat every year for some team building and bonding and the house leaves nothing to be desired. It is beautifully furnished, well stocked with amenities, and the included pontoon boat is the icing on the cake! Richard always makes an appearance to welcome us and provides some great advice on good fishing spots and things to do in the area. We could not be happier with the house, our time on the lake, or our experience with Richard and Dottie. We are repeat renters for a reason - a great house, helpful owners, beautiful views, all at a fair price. Our family is trying to plan a weekend trip in the next few weeks and we are already planning our 2014 management retreat! Thank you Richard and Dottie for the memories.......

I can't say enough about our recent stay at this Lake Jackson home. From the moment we made contact with the owners, everything was pleasant and easy. The home was spotless when we arrived. Filled with extras that you do not expect when renting a home for the week. There was firewood for the fireplace, dish soap, trash bags, hand soaps, and other items that the owners are not obligated to provide but do so. High quality linens, towels, tastefully decorated rooms. But that just sums up the whole experience, more than what you expect. A beautiful lake house with great views, free use of a pontoon boat, fishing poles, and so many other things. We had a great time and I would definitely recommend this home to others. Thank you Richard and Dottie for all the extras you do to make the stay so welcoming and enjoyable! We really appreciated it and hope to be back on one of our next vacations.

The overall experience was fun but the house needed a little T.L.C. I'll start with the negative and end with the possitive. The bed comforters were dirty and some of the sheets had makeup stains, The kitchen applliances ,cabinets and drawers needed to be emptied out and thoughouly cleaned. The floors in the bathrooms and halls needed vacumed. The chimney is probably full of leaves because when we tried to light a fire the entire house was filled with smoke. The flew was open. The house had wood floors throughout including the stairs so you could hear every move everyone made from every room in the house. It states it sleeps 10 but there are really only 3 bedrooms. One master with its own bath . Two bedrooms upstairs one with a king that shares a bath with a room with 2 queens. The other beds are over a garage with no access to a bathroom and the beds are uncomfortable futons. The 3rd couple that was staying with us actually left early because of the accomadations. Having to go down a flight of creeky stairs in the middle of the night to use a bathroom was kind of a drag. The basement had a great bathroom but no bedroom. If you wanted a hot shower that was where you were going to get it. We actually checked out a day early because we had to go to a wedding and my family of four was tired of cold showers. Now the possitive. The owners came over with new bed linens, brand new comforters and refunded us $300.00 for the cleaning fee. They put lights outside that had burned out during the winter. The hot tub was kept emaculate, the pontoon boat was a lot of fun and over all a good time. So here would be my owners honey-do-list.. Hire a new cleaning service., clean out the chimney, fix the hand rails on the porch, detail the kitchen, soundproof a bit, fix the creeky stairs, fix the shower head in the master suite, check into some hotwater tanks so everyone can have a shower, make a bedroom in the basement where there is the only bathroom with a hot shower and get rid of the uncomfortable futons in the room over the garage . The owners were very responsive and were greatful to be told about the issues. I am sure the next families to stay there will find everything in perfect order. .
