Nestled in La Porte, this charming house for $149 per night is a great choice for your next break. We may be just a little bit biased but this fact is true! Stunning lake + Fun updated home = 1 Hidden Gem! This cottage on the lake is all about family fun, whimsy and a little bit of "glamp" done just right. Clean, comfortable and ready to welcome your family! Year 'round enjoyment prevails! Perfect for families or couples looking to escape from it all. With the seasonal lake and beach activities or colder month amusements such as board games by the fireplace, or perhaps a campfire in the firepit (S'mores ingredients always included with your stay) tucked out front on the lake, it's all here to make it your own vacay. Water scapes from almost every room and that beautiful sunset every night, this view rivals our original bnb and then some! Enjoy mixing drinks in the Margaritaville machine, taking a leisurely bike ride, kayaking in our 2 kayaks, ping pong in the driveway on our outdoor table, or walking just steps to the beach to play in the lake in old-fashioned inner tubes or at the playground. Our place on the lake sleeps a whole crew and will be sure to give your family something to talk about long after the sun sets and the sheets AND comforters are clean once again....sigh.... Guests have the entire house! The garage contains the ping pong table to be moved to driveway weather permitting. We provide a remote mode of entry for our guests and will give instruction upon booking and before arrival. We are happy to meet with our guests at their request or leave them to their privacy. The neighborhood is quiet and residential. In the warmer months many people take to the beach and neighborhood to walk, run, ride bikes and push cute babies in strollers. There is also another Airbnb next door and we have befriended them over the past few months and they are awesome:) We provide a bike or 2 upon request, otherwise grocery and restaurants are within a 5-minute drive We have security cameras on the exterior at entries both for your safety and ours. Cameras reflect images outside only. The base unit is behind TV in main living area and needs to remain intact during all guest stays. - No additional guests beyond those included on the reservation or without prior approval for your liability and ours. Please bring the outdoor furniture cushions inside at night or during rain. -Our cleaning team works very hard! Our fee covers basic cleaning like laundry, floors, windows and stocking of toiletries. Please clean up your own messes in the kitchen, at the stove, garbage etc. -We are a "no shoes type of family" and we hope that you can tell we take pride in our surroundings. With that said we ask that you refrain from shoes in the house as much as possible and off the furniture. - Quiet hours after 9pm please.... neighbors. - The pond behind the house is actually a private "toad" pond... free to look but not ours. Although it's tempting to throw a pole in, we try not to. And trust us, we haven't caught a fish yet! - No street parking which is strictly enforced by the city and park departments. Driveway accommodates 4 cars easily. Street is one way heading southwest. All ages count toward the guest count and will be updated accordingly.
