9 Reviews of Property 130617 in Blanchard, Texas

My family and I stayed here in January 2013. The kids loved the game room and the large outdoor area. Everything was very clean and well cared for. We loved all of the outdoor seating and are looking forward to going back in warmer weather so that we can take advantage of that more. The boat house was awesome with a wonderful swing on the upper level. I was so surprised to see that the outdoor grill was super clean. We enjoyed a dinner of hot dogs and s'mores on one cold evening. The neighborhood was very quiet and beautiful for our daily walks. We had one incidence where the washing machine leaked but the caretakers were quick to respond and got it fixed immediately. The only thing I wish the owners would provide (even at an extra expense) would be internet. Although I do like to get away from it all, my kids are avid gamers and would love to be able to connect with their friends while on vacation. I would recommend this place to anyone who has kids. We're looking forward to revisiting this property in the summer when we can swim and maybe jet ski on the lake. Thanks for making this property available.

My husband, myself, and our 8 year old daughter came in from Chicago to spend time with my extended family in the area. We stayed for six days/seven nights, using all of the beds available.
The property was beautiful and well laid out. It had alot of wonderful touches that my large extended family appreciated and used. It is an older home and the kitchen and bathrooms, although adequate need to be updated badly. They are more of a cabin quality rather than a modern home quality.
The house was clean upon arrival but it is in need of a deep clean (walls in the bathroom had stuff on them, dust was thick on baseboards and bookshelves, etc.)
The game room was a wonderful part that we enjoyed but the pool table and other games in the room needed to be updated badly as well. They were pretty much on their last leg.
The property has lots of room and seating outside which was in good shape. We especially liked the two sitting swings that faced the water. Perfect for conversation and reflection. There is also a great iron table/chair set up on the deck of the house. We utilized the firepit, grill, and horseshoes, all were great.
The main suite upstairs which includes a bathroom is comfortable but in need of an update. It is decorated in mostly antiques and the daybed listed in the ad is actually a lounge type chair, which although nice, doesn't sleep well.
The couches in the living room and game room were very comfortable. The bunk beds in the house and game room had beautiful matching quilts that were a nice touch.
The home does not have wifi or dvd players which was inconvenient to a young family with children.
The caretakers of the property were super nice and gave us the utmost privacy. They also provided us with wood to do a couple of fires which was greatly appreciated.
You do have to literally bring everything needed for the kitchen and bathrooms which is inconvenient if you are coming in from out of town. There are alot of shopping opportunities in town but we would have rather paid an additional fee to have toilet paper, matches, etc provided for our stay instead of running to the store because we forgot something.
The owners were great to work with in arranging our stay and that part was fabulous.
Bottom line is the property is great and suited most of our needs but we would have enjoyed the property much more if it were more updated in the ways I listed.

I love this place!!! The owner was very nice and has provided all the info. needed, also Jimmy & Donna (the on-site caretakers) are great people. My wife left one of her dress in the house and it was mailed to us the next day. We're already had plan to go back to this house for another vacation in May. The house actually has 4 bedrooms (not 3 as listed), can accommodate 12 people easily. Also the sunset view is gorgeous. The fishing was great, we lost a couple of very big fish because our rod couldn't handle them. Make sure to bring all your fishing gears. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation.

Just spent a week at this property and found accommadations quite adequate. Family loved the pier for fishing and kids (young and old) loved the rope swing. Wonderful family vacation spot. Didn't need to go anywhere else for intertainment.
Jimmy responded immediately to any request we had, such as a burned out light bulb.

Stayed at this property two years ago and had a good time,however this June 2010 was a different story. The only maintance that i could see having been done was the yard was mowed. The kitchen sliding door was taped shut with duct tape,the living room slider took two people to open and close,the down stairss bathroom sink was stopped up with hair that we uncloged ourselves,there were roaches the size of texas in the up stairs bathroom. and the house had a very dated smell and feel.We had problems with the care takers and with George. Had our deposit kept for smoking in the game room,(the only smoking that was done was mosquito coils for the bugs. We will not stay there again

My fiancée and I spent 7 days at this vacation home and did not want to leave! The home is beautiful and the lake view is phenomenal. We enjoyed every sunset out on the sundeck with huge smiles on our faces. The landlords are of the most professional nature and very helpful every step along the way! We will definatly be spending more time at this lake house in the months/years to come! The fishing was great; we must have caught over 100 catfish in the week we were there!!! I have recommended this place to everyone I know! A must visit home on Lake Livingston! You will not regret it I promise you that!

We took a group of Prom kids to the Lake House and it was SO perfect!!! The bunkhouse was perfect because of the pool table, darts and foosball table! The parents were thrilled because the boys were separated from the girls! I think that place is sound-proof too! The kids had loud music in there and you couldn't even hear it until the door opened!

We had a great time in the evening by the bonfire cooking smores. The kids loved playing some of the games that were around the grounds as well as sunbathing and swimming off the deck! The boat rental was only a few houses away so that was perfect when we rented a boat.

From the first contact with the owners it was an extremely pleasant experience! Great people!! They worked with us and gave us great tips and ideas to make our stay better!

I highly recommend the lakehouse for a small or larger gathering! So peaceful!!!!

Thanks again for a WONDERFUL time!!!!!
