Awesome LAKE front cottage offers relaxation and fun! Great for Families!

La Vida Loca Cottage offers a relaxing get-a-way and lake front enjoyment. The house is perfect for leisure weekends as well as fun venue for entertaining the family for a week with kayaking, boat rentals nearby for water sports and fishing from the dock.

The southern exposure on open water, and wrap around covered porch is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the predominantly southern breeze. A fresh cup of coffee in the morning on the deck overlooking the lake is a must. The cottage offers a large living area with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, expansive windows, a spacious well-appointed kitchen, and large informal dining bar. Outside the approximately 800 square feet of decking creates the perfect outdoor environment where you and lucky guests will enjoy east facing open water views and unlimited entertainment possibilities. In addition, there is a private boathouse with large sun deck.

We have 2 Kayaks that are available for our guests use.

The house is in a clean and safe well-maintained neighborhood.

Great Vacation Home

We had a great stay, clean and comfortable. We stayed in for dinners, good selection of dishes, cookware, etc. Only stayed 2 nights this trip but will definitely return to this lovely home. Kids loved the yard to play in and also the air hockey table! Would highly recommend this home for future stays!

Beautiful Home/Location

The home was very clean, open, and bright. It was a comfortable place to be. The back windows overlooking the lake and the back porch were incredible. The owner of the property was very considerate and responsive. We enjoyed out stay tremendously.

Relaxing weekend away

This place was open, relaxing and enjoyable. My only criticism is to add a screen door to the back and front door to allow that amazing morning breeze to blow through the house while enjoying a cup of morning coffee. This place was exactly what we were looking for. A+++++ property.

Gorgeous view

We had a pleasant stay. The house is nice and cutely decorated. The patio is amazing with a spectacular view of the lake. It's on a fairly quite stretch of the lake and the neighbors that were around over the weekend we're nice. Kids enjoyed swimming off the private dock Very nice place to soclally distance while enjoying your vacation

Wedding weekend

Because we were here for a nearby wedding, we didn’t have time to really enjoy this great house. It is clean, the kitchen is very well stocked and the beds are comfy. We want to come back so that we can really enjoy the lake and the beautiful open water lake view.

Perfect getaway!

We loved this house! It was exactly as pictured on the website. The owners really have thought of everything to make it comfortable and easy to relax. There was plenty of room--both indoors and out--for our large group of eight adults. We would definitely come back!

Family Weekend

This was just a quick family weekend get together. It was great that my grandson could play in the water right in front of the house. Even though the water is down in the lake we were still able to bring our pontoon boat right up to the dock.

Perfect Get-Away from Dallas!

This Property is wonderful. We stayed three nights and had the most relaxing time. We canoed, grilled, watched the sun rise and set, swam in the lake, laughed and had one of the most carefree times in a while. The back porch is just perfect, offering enough shade throughout the hot days to cool off. Marcie was gracious throughout and made us feel welcome. We plan on coming back again to the same spot if we can. Thanks again for offering us your home; we enjoyed it!

Amazing Short Vacation

We just wrapped up an amazing 3 day getaway. I hope we can return again soon! The homeowner was so great and easy to deal with. Marcie was friendly, professional, and communicated in a timely manner. She was helpful with restaurant and activity recommendations! The home was clean. The location was perfect. My days started and ended with a perfect view of the lake!! My family is revived and full of joy after such a great trip in a cute house on beautiful land and a beautiful lake!!!

Great Stay!

The location was great. The water was higher this summer so we were able to float relatively close to the house. The bottom is soft but not too squishy so you don't have to wear water shoes if you don't want to. The house was very clean, they provided lots of bed linens, shower towels and beach towels. It says it can park 4 cars on the listing but it easily holds 6! Super close to public boat launch in Log Cabin and Lee park is pretty close as well! I would definitely stay here again. Great house! Thanks Marcie!
