Men’s yearly fishing trip

This is our 3rd year staying at the lodge. Courtney has always been absolutely a pleasure to deal with. The property and location are exactly what we need. Plenty of rooms, showers and outside area for the boats. The lodge is always clean and plenty of space to cook and eat in the common areas. Always a pleasure and look forward to next year.

No electricity

A thunderstorm knocked the power off at 6 pm the first evening. We sweated through the first night and did not open the fridge. We went to Lufkin and ate breakfast. Still no power at about 3 pm. We could not let our family reunion food for Saturday spoil so we had to go home. We asked the hostess for a complimentary visit the first Saturday of June next year, but she said she woukd ask but is not hopeful. This building needs a generator for backup since she sad the are is prone to power loss

BEST HOUSE ON RAYBURN FOR ANGLERS

House is awesome! 6 bedrooms, comfy beds, room for 6 boats under each Carport with plug ins, 500 yards from castle boykin ramp! Courtney the host is awesome! Very professional and polite and willing to help if you need anything! House was very clean! Only thing is the house is on well water like every other house there so bring your own drinking water for coffee etc! And that's no fault of the owners! Love this place! This house is a diamond in the forest of rayburn! 5 stars! We will be staying here again! Thank you so much Courtney!

Fishing Get-away

The rental was awesome and that is an understatement. Plenty of room to park (4 boats and vehicles), plenty of room for 8 fishermen, close to a well equipped boat launch. Lots of room for a large group, very clean rental. The host is very accommodating and always willing to help. Thank you so much, Courtney. I understand why this is a very popular rental.

Perfect fishing camp

Great fishing camp. Lots of details for fishing and all your fishing needs! Comfy beds! Only issue is the water in the area stinks, but nothing the owner can fix. Bring plenty of drinking water!

Great place to stay, plenty of room. Two covered carports for parking your boats under. You legitimately could park 6 under them if needed. You don’t have to worry about the weather bothering your gear. Great place!

This property was perfect!

We stayed at this property Sunday-Friday and for our group of fisherman it was amazing. They covered parking was a huge plus that you don’t find very often. They even had lights for doing stuff at night in the boats. With a boat ramp less than a minute down the road it made it extremely easy. There were a few small general stores and tackle shops just a few minutes down the road as well. It was clean and had everything we needed.
