Sam Rayburn stay
We went over to fish the McDonald tournament and were looking for a place on the North end of the Lake. found a couple places to rent but after looking at reviews felt like this cabin would suit our needs. The house was as described, probably a little over a mile to the Shirley Creek Marina which is just a handful of boat ramps accessible due to low water. The house was very clean and had any necessity's that was needed. The wifi was great allowing access with computer. I've stayed at several rentals and this VRBO was in my opinion 10/10 and will defiantly book again. Miss Kelly and Mr Greg were easy to get a hold of and quick with any question or request we had.

Great Place near the Lake
Very clean and homey feeling. It was in a quiet neighborhood with wildlife and just a short distance to the lake. Had everything you would need to stay in and enjoy hanging with your family or head out and go fishing.

Shirley Creek
The house was very nice and ckean with plebty of room and had all the accessories and things we needed for our stay. Check in process was easy. The only issues we had were unleashed neighbors dogs and their barking at our dogs House was a bit farther from the lake access than i thoufht it would be but we stayed over Memorial Day Weekend and the access was extremely crowded. Overall the property was nice and quiet as long as the neighbors dogs werent barking. We would definitely book this property again if we decide to visit Big Sam in the future.
