Lakeshore Lodge - Waterfront at Lake Sam Rayburn

Beautiful house, I would stay there again.

While the name implies you will be facing water on the lake, this property actually faced a dry cove that supposedly holds water when lake levels are higher. That said, our objective for this stay was to have a place with space for a family reunion, not fishing off the bank of the lake. From that standpoint, this property delivered. There were multiple sleeping options and large rooms plus an outdoor deck to allow group gatherings. Kitchen was very well equipped and the house had two refrigerators and a large pantry to store food and supplies. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

I've really debated about making this review. I've stayed in many vacation homes and never given a bad review. However, I must say I was somewhat disappointed in some things. First off, we rented this house so we could be right on the lake. When we arrived, there was no water in the lake due to them working on the dam. We had to walk probably 200 yards to get to the lake. I totally understand it not being y'all's fault they were working on the dam, but you're renting the house as waterfront, so you should let your guest know before renting. Starter items, we had to dig under the cabinet just to find one dishwasher pod, and you only get one trash bag. The carpet in the living room is very stained and needs to be cleaned. The walkway to the front door was covered in pine needles when we arrived. Down at the firepit there were beer cans laying on the ground. The firepit needs to be replaced it's completely rusted out there's no bottom to it just a ring around the top. The house is very dated but that's okay other than that it was pretty clean. I just think for what you are charging your guest to stay there you should do a lot better.

The house was great for a large family. There was ample sleeping space and they kitchen was appointed very well. The second refrigerator was a bonus! We really enjoyed our stay!

Roomy, big, yet cozy. This lake house rental comfortably fit our family of 18. Large deck was our favorite for sure. Location on the lake was excellent easy access to water and local hot spots. We will be renting again in the future.

The property is great for family get togethers. It has a ton of room and everyone in my group was comfortable and had a great time.

Our family loved the home and we had plenty of room. The staff was friendly. While slightly dated, my family loved the place and we had a great East Texas family reunion there. Hope it’s available our next reunion!

The 24 hour hotline would not accept calls

The home needs to be restocked with a few cups for coffee, dishclothes and rags were not available and some rooms didn’t have trash cans and no extra trash liners.

Very friendly staff and awesome house with great lake access

Large Space comfortable for large groups 12- 15
