Reconnect with your family, your partner, or old friends at this beautiful, quiet lakefront house. Create memories that will last a lifetime.

Just look at that sunroom, with a fantastic view of Sandy Creek Cove. Enjoy several seating areas in the sunroom, the deck, the living room, or the patio below. Go up six steps in this split level home and you will find the dining table and well-stocked kitchen, or use the charcoal grill downstairs on the patio.

Great primary bedroom suite (shower plus Jacuzzi tub) and second bedroom are upstairs. Downstairs is the third bedroom with a queen size bed and a great couch to sleep on, if needed. NOTE that the downstairs has a separate entrance and, I’m afraid, NO BATHROOM. Add to that the pull-out couch in the living room and you have four queen size beds for your group.

Relax outside in the hammock, fish, swim, or gather round the fire ring. Two kayaks are available for your use.

Within 20 minutes are restaurants, golf courses, bowling, a casino, and Lake Livingston State Park (details at house). Or catch your dinner right off the dock - it seems that the catfish are always biting. Sunsets are breathtaking, and tons of water birds every morning and evening - there is a bird nesting ground nearby.

You have access to all that Heron's Nest has to offer, inside and out. Due to HOA restrictions, we can only have a maximum of 8 people.

Included in your rental:
*Well equipped kitchen: plates, bowls, glasses, pots/pans, mixing/serving bowls, utensils, basic spices & condiments, coffee maker (Kuerig and Mr. Coffee) and coffee, waffle maker, and of course a blender!

*Charcoal grill, fire pit, hammock, and two kayaks.

*WIFI throughout the house, Netflix, DVD/VCR player.
*Lots of board games and frisbees for the back yard
*Towels and all bedding
*Hair Dryer
*Washer and dryer

You should bring:
*Water toys and fishing gear (and license)
*Lawn chairs if you plan to use the campfire
*Food & drinks
*Personal toiletries
*Camera and binoculars
*’beach’ towels if you plan to swim

The House is not specifically child-proofed and the water is, of course, a hazard. Please supervise children carefully.

Easy parking for four cars on premises. Absolutely no parking on street, per HOA rules. Not suitable for large gatherings. Three night minimum on holiday weekends. Early check-in or late checkout MIGHT be available for a $50.00 fee.

    We enjoyed our stay very much. The lake views were exceptional and did some bird watching too. The house was inviting and comfortable. Our host was accessible and provided us with all the information we needed. Highly recomment Heron's Nest.

    Location is great. House is nice and clean. The sunroom is the best room in the house. We had great sunsets each evening. Host Susan is easy to reach. We could not enjoy the outside areas because everything was covered in bugs and spider webs. The owner is aware of the bug problem. The master bedroom is crazy hot because it is over the garage. The owner is aware, but it’s very uncomfortable. Would stay here again if issues have been resolved.

    The property was very comfortable for a relaxing 3-day weekend. We found a hand-made ice cream shop in Onalaska that we had to pay a return visit.

    Needed to just get away and chill for a few days. The house was nice, close to town, and had such gorgeous views. Owners were nice and very accommodating.

    This was a great place for a quick getaway from work and the city. Peaceful and quiet house right on the water. Gated neighborhood was nice to keep out everyone but locals. House is fully equipped inside and out. If you have a boat bring it too. Boat ramp down the street and boat dock behind the house. I highly recommend this place.

    The location is ideal in regards to the proximity of our family. There is deferred maintenance that needs to be done (i.e., loose steps/decking, warped decking, peeling/chipping paint on the deck, and an overall cleaning of the exterior); the cleanliness of the interior was somewhat lacking as there was dust and cobwebs in every room; spiders & their webs in the kitchen/dining room; burned out light bulbs inside and outside the home. The furnishings are very nice and the owner was excellent in her responsiveness!

    We needed somewhere near Livingston to stay for a local funeral. This was the perfect location. Top notch across the board! Clean, well stocked, comfortable, great communication.

    The booking process was seamless. Host provided all the information we could possibly need. At the rental there was even a small book with information about the rental, community, and the surrounding area including restaurants. A great stay and a better view/access of the lake.
