Mom's Favorite Waterfront Cabin #4, Onalaska, Lake Livingston, Texas

Cabin #4 is our Mom’s favorite cabin. It seems made just for that romantic couple, or just one, getting away for rest and relaxation, is super nice, right in front of the water, has old ship lap exterior siding, knotty pine interior, full kitchen with hickory cabinets/white marble counter, tile shower bathroom, queen log bed, large covered porch right at waterfront which opens to full 23 mile long Lake Livingston.

There are 3 piers, 4 boat slips, boat launch, 2 fish cleaning stations, and various small craft row boat, kayaks, canoes for rent.

We also offer;
> small craft rentals at $35/day per kayak, canoe, &or row boat.
> Jon boat w/trolling motor, 2 batteries, paddle and life vests at $50 for 4 hours, $10 (for each additional hour), or all day $75.
> pontoon boat rental when available w/ captain for touring, fishing trip, and or family fun $175 (up to 4 people for fishing approx 3 to 4 hours, or up to 6 people fir 2 hiur tour, extra $15 per adult after 3rd).

The entire property has 5 cabins. This cabin is the coziest at 350sqft but is open studio type layout making it still spacious for a couple on vacation. Please see the pictures at the bottom of the picture list to see the rest of our cabins which are bigger 500 sqft, 4 person, 5 person, and yet the largest is 800 sqft 2-story cabin for up to 7 people.

In addition we have 8 RV sites, boat & boat slips, and FM 356 near.

Other cabins and their availability are at;

cabin 3, 2bdrm, sleeps 4, at Vrbo: 1323933

cabin 6, 2bdrm, sleeps 5, at Vrbo: 1340797

Cabin 5, 2bdrm + loft, sleeps 7

cabin 1, 2bdrm, sleeps 4, at Vrbo: 9464533

Cabin has double wood siding interior & exterior that keeps it quiet inside, good people & rules make it great or we help enforce quiet time rules. FM 356 traffic is normally quiet at night but can have some traffic noise during day.

Also not in cabins and or not normally any nuisance to people, but guests should be aware that we are on a natural lake and there can be in wetlands area across the street or in brush, snakes, spiders, snapper turtles, alligator across the bridge, hawks, eagles, raccoons, etc. No real danger but occasionally for a couple days usually in spring or early summer, mom alligator will come and drop baby alligator hear every couple years then leaves, baby tends to be about 3’ to 3.5’ when this happens, is too small to be issue, can only eat size of bullfrogs at this time, is kind of fun but then normally leaves as well within a few weeks cuz too much activity from us. Parks & Wildlife and licensed trappers both said to leave them alone when this small, just do what we do keep swimming and boating because most the little one can do is eat bullfrog and will leave to find different home if we keep up our activities. And for 8 years we’ve seen they are correct.

Everything was wonderful, cabin was clean and really cute. Bed was very comfortable. Road noise was a little bothersome, especially at night, but we picked up a fan at the Dollar General and problem solved. Overall a wonderful stay

Cute Little Cabin on the Lake

We really enjoyed our stay. It was my husband and 2 dogs. There were other people on the property but it's so quiet, you feel like you are there alone. And although the county had a burn ban and the lake levels were very low, our host reached out the day of our arrival to let us know of the changes. Very cute cabin, clean, really nice parks nearby to go exploring.

Weekend Stay

Description as described. Cabin was cute and comfortable. It rained during our stay, so not much fishing was done and the lake was bit low- no fault of the owners. However, the property was muddy from getting to and from cabin to vehicle. The owners very responsive and friendly.

Our first vacation

My partner and I finally had the time to take a vacation together and we jumped on the opportunity with this cabin. It was an excellent choice. A very nice and clean small cabin for two people with room to cook together and have wonderful time reading on the porch. The property managers are honest and give you all the information you need. Highly recommend a vist.

Amazing getaway

My husband and myself were celebrating our two year wedding anniversary. This place was exactly as listed. Clean and very quaint. Super comfortable. Perfect for what we needed. We fished right off the pier. The owner was super nice and greeted us. We will definitely be going back. Every one we encountered was super friendly. Local eats were delicious. Beautiful scenery.

Absolutely Perfect

We had an amazing time. The cabin was really neat, with every amenity we could have thought about needing or wanting. Fishing was great. Caught a few catfish, a striper, and one fresh water drum. Loved watching the shad come in, and the cranes around the property. Plenty of outside chairs to laze around the outside. Very comfortable. Very Happy with our stay!! Thank you for having us. We will be back! 😊
