Wedding Weekend
We wanted a place close to the our daughters wedding venue and big enough to hold the extra family members that were going to stay with us. The house was amazing! The back patio over looking the lake was very relaxing for morning coffee and late in the afternoon for down time. The boys enjoyed fishing off the pier. Plenty of room inside for everyone. And so quiet at night, we all slept well.

Excellent property! Fun for all!
This was a great house for our family. We were attending our daughter’s nearby wedding and this house was perfect for our family of all ages. The game room was terrific as well as the porch and waterfront activities! We loved the sunsets over the lake and highly recommend this home!

Family Vacation
After abruptly having to change plans because of Hurricane Beryl we found “Hidden Haven” and I’m so glad we did. It was perfect for our family! We had plenty of room to spread out! The bedrooms were large and spacious to accommodate my children and their toddlers! The large dining table overlooking the lake was one of our favorite places to share a meal together. The back porch overlooking the lake was a great place for the toddlers to play and adults relax. The new dock was awesome and everyone enjoyed the fishing! My daughter and son-in-law enjoyed the kayak and paddle board! Even though it’s close to the city, it was so quiet and relaxing. The Host was EXCELLENT and so accommodating to our needs! We had a great time on our yearly Christmas in July vacation!!!

An excellent vacation home for families
This was a perfect location to watch the April 8, 2024 eclipse. Our teenage grandchildren really enjoyed sleeping in the game room above the garage. The patio was our favorite hang out in the evening with the wood burning fireplace and beautiful views of the lake We have stayed in many VRBO‘s and would rank this among the top five

Very comfortable and relaxing family gathering.
The exterior of the house was attractive and made a nice first impression driving up. The interior of the house was comfortable and very roomy. The view to the backyard and the lake was very relaxing and was the focal point from the main gathering areas and 2 of the bedrooms. The patio was also very roomy and attractive. We had a nice relaxing stay.
