Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Payne Springs

John was a great host! Extremely helpful and responsive. House was beautiful and loved the location. The water access was truly amazing. It rained 3 of our 7 days, so that was unfortunate, but we took our kids to Dallas to do some fun things which wasn’t too far of a drive! Only things to note that were annoying was the AC was controlled/set to specific ranges because of past guests altering it beyond acceptable ranges or breaking it. As I understand John’s concern, that was kind of annoying. We asked him to lower the setting and he did, so that helped, but even then…the AC would revert back to the previous setting and it would be too hot in some of the rooms. Some of the kitchen items like extra trash bags I could not locate and the soap that was provided was hand soap, not dish soap. I asked John if he had these items at the house so I could clean up and he ended up having them delivered to the house! Very response and helpful host! Beautiful location and we would stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful 3-bedroom beach house at 401 Admiral Drive in Gun Barrel City, TX. The property is perfect for a family getaway — our group of 10 stayed comfortably for two days and had an amazing experience. The house was clean, well-maintained, and had everything in great working condition. The backyard is truly a highlight — spacious and peaceful with direct access to the water, a fishing dock, and a beach volleyball setup. We also enjoyed water sports right from the property, which made it even more special. The owner, Shinu, was extremely kind and helpful throughout our stay. You can tell they really care about the guest experience. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, fun, and family-friendly escape. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We had a wonderful stay! The lake house was just as described and so much better than the photos! We will definitely stay here again!

We had a family reunion with 3 families and ALL of us are still talking about how awesome the homes were. First off let me start by say Danelle the property manager made this trip extra special. From the first text 6 months ago she has been so helpful. Recommending Cedar Creek boat rental, the nicest people. Checking in to make sure if we need anything and answering my text in minutes. Thank you Danelle for having a great team around you the homes were so clean, just stocked with all the things you need. I’ve rented many Airbnb this is by far is the best. Home away from home!

The house is amazing but the back patio is the real show stopper! We were able to cook all weekend and really appreciated how stocked the kitchen was with utensils and other items to make it easy. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a nice quiet getaway.

What a beautiful and restful place!! Perfect for a weekend getaway as we begin celebrations for my daughter’s wedding! Everything was just pristine and so comfortable—and the home is just such a beautiful layout! We will be back for sure!

Gorgeous view! Whether out on the big porch, snuggled on the couch, in the kitchen, or at the dining table we enjoyed the soothing view of the lake. Enjoyed a lot of quiet time on the sofa reading & being able to glance up at the lake view, watching the family enjoy fishing & kayaking. We loved sitting on the dock watching sunrise & sunset over the lake. The porch, with the lake view & lush yard full of trees, was a gathering spot for talking & laughing while relaxing with our coffee or drinks. A spacious kitchen stocked with cooking equipment & dishes. Close by grocery stores & Walmart so we could get anything we needed. Easily accommodated our family with plenty of well furnished and comfy rooms, cozy beds & very good AC to keep us cool. The master suite was so comfortable, with a shower & HUGE tub! Great access to tv streaming, DVD’s, books, board games, with several places to snuggle in to watch/read. Ideal lake house for our family vacation. Had the best time!

We had a wonderful stay at Selah’s Place in Athens, TX! This cozy 2-bedroom villa was the perfect getaway for our family. The home was well-equipped with everything we needed—from comfortable beds and beautiful bathrooms to a fully stocked kitchen with a French press, Keurig coffee maker (with plenty of pods!), and a fridge/freezer that made ice. The outdoor furniture on both levels was a great touch for relaxing mornings or evenings. It was also incredibly convenient to have a washer and dryer on-site, along with cleaning supplies and laundry detergent provided. A true home away from home! Our grandkids had the time of their lives fishing and releasing fish and feeding the turtles—they’re still talking about it! Selah’s Place offered not only comfort but also some great memory-making experiences for the whole family. Highly recommend staying here, and we will definitely be back!
