Lakefront “Treehouse”: Private Retreat in the Pines!

We love to call this place The Treehouse — ok so it’s not a literal treehouse, but it’s as close as it gets. Enjoy a private lakefront escape embedded in the amazingly tall Lake Livingston pines.

You won’t ever want to leave the huge, shady deck hammock with million dollar lake views, unless maybe it’s to jump off the dock into the refreshing waters of the 90,000 acre lake.
Filled with board games and fresh coffee and lake charm and loads of memories, our lakefront treehouse will be sure to leave you refreshed and in love … with your family, with your spouse, and with the great outdoors.

Speaking of love, the master bedroom is designed to be a romantic getaway and is the perfect destination for an anniversary weekend … a glass of wine on the private deck, sunrise soaked coffee mugs, or a sleep-late kind of morning in the comfy king bed — all lend itself to reconnection and relaxation.

If you’re planning a big family kind of weekend, we’ve got that covered too! 2 private bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and one big loft full of beds and extra special touches for the kiddos. A closet full of board games and puzzles and a basket filled with toys for all ages ... there will be many a game played and coloring book colored on the unique and happy biergarten table and benches in the loft. WiFi, DVD player and a SmartTV in the living room are included for internet use and entertainment.

One of our favorite features of this home having had little ones is that the kids are either at the house OR they’re down by the water with you. The huge deck is completely enclosed with a gate leading to the walkway that goes down to the water. This feature makes mama’s heart a lot more comfortable with little ones at the lake!

For the big kids (literally and at heart), the large boathouse dock is a perfect swimming platform with a ladder leading out of the water. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and lemonade make the perfect dock picnic, as long as you bring the sunscreen. The water is 7’-8' immediately off the bulkhead, and the boathouse is complete with a fish cleaning station, electricity and running water. Our cove is known for its catfish and Lake Livingston is known for all kinds of fishing, including white bass, crappie, striper and black bass galore. Get lucky and you'll spot a bald eagle soaring overhead! (look for white head and white tail)

Pontoon boat and boathouse storage is not available for guest use, but there is a public and free boat launch only .8 miles from our house, plenty of room to tie up your boat to the dock (as long as you have the ropes and bumpers to make you comfortable), and there is plenty of room to park a boat trailer on the road at the house as long as you can maneuver a dead end street "culdesac."

Our street is a quiet dead end street and our house is the very last one on the road. A church is across the street and we only have one neighbor that you can barely see. Morning or evening walks to the public boat launch just down the street or through a neighborhood close by are lovely and the space is as private as it gets.

You’ll only be 21 miles from Huntsville if you need any of the chain stores or restaurants, 8 miles to Onalaska for donuts or a grocery store and 14 miles from downtown Coldspring which is as cute as can be. We’re also LESS THAN ONE MILE from Pearls in the Pines wedding venue so a perfect spot for visiting wedding guests. And a Family Dollar & Dollar General are a mile away in case you forgot any essentials.

We look forward to hosting you and helping you to make memories as stress-free-ly as possible. Please contact us if you have any questions — can’t wait for you to experience our not-literal-but-very-cool-treehouse on the lake!
