Cottage holiday rentals in San Jacinto County

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this cabin! It was clean, beautifully maintained, and comfortably cool thanks to the two A/C units—perfect for hot days. The kitchen was fully stocked (just missing a cutting board, but that wasn’t a big deal), and fresh towels and linens were provided. Wi-Fi was also available, which was a nice bonus. We loved fishing right behind the large, beautiful pool—just steps from the bank. I’d recommend bringing a couple of lawn chairs to relax while you fish. The on-site bar and restaurant offered excellent service, and the pool itself was fantastic. The restrooms near the pool were impressively clean and spacious—honestly gave off Buc-ee’s vibes! The location is super convenient, with a Brookshire Brothers just 5–8 minutes away and Walmart about 20 minutes out. We truly enjoyed everything about our stay—the location, the hospitality, and all the amenities. We’re already planning to come back with the family again!

Our week-long stay at Franklin's home was truly amazing. The house is incredibly beautiful, clearly built with love and attention to every detail, which you notice from the moment you arrive. Every part of the house felt cozy and private. The upper terrace was perfect for bird watching, dining, and reading. The Jacuzzi was extremely comfortable and a great way to spend time with the kids. The fire pit was splendid, and there were so many places for barbecuing. The dock had everything we needed for fishing, kayaking, and enjoying the water. The surrounding nature was stunning, with beautiful sunsets every evening and a variety of bird species. We even spotted a crocodile, turtles, and plenty of fish in the water. Our family was so captivated by the experience that we didn't want to leave, and my son keeps asking when we can return. Thank you, Franklin, for allowing us to stay in your incredible home!

Kim's home is as homely as one could ever feel like. The home is as genuine and authentic and real as Kim is. The experience was more unbelievable and amazing than we ever could've hoped for. I'll never pay to stay anywhere else in East Texas from now on. No other place could have been a better match, than Kim's, for my love for Lake Livingston and the East Texas area.

Our stay at Lagoon Ranch was great. We had our 8 month old with us and they even provided a bed rail for the bunk bed. The cabins were clean and brand new. A little bare on the decor, we only had one twin size blanket to share A/c worked great in the Texas heat, the resort pool was really nice and it was great having a restaurant on the premises. The Arcade was not ready and the mercantile was a little light on items. The WiFi was not strong enough so could not use the two tvs in the cabin. I also felt the pool bar was unkept for what I expected of a resort. I was kind of expecting some music and an active swim up pool bar but it was a little dead, and not very clean, once it finally opened the bar wasn’t wiped down from all of the bugs that had died on the bar the night before. Also would have loved if they had scheduled some live music on their stage for Friday nights, but that is preference from parents who don’t get out much and it would have been nice to see some activity.

This place is a HIDDEN GEM!💎 My family & I spent Father's Day weekend at Leslie's BEAUTIFUL lake house & WOW! The pictures really don't do this place justice! It was such a peaceful and relaxing place to spend time with family. Leslie was an incredible host and very quick to respond to any questions we had at any time! We spent most of our time fishing & caught some alligator gar & catfish! There were plenty of places for everyone to sleep, the wifi was great, & there were even extra toothbrushes and snacks available! We will definitely be back!!😊

Gorgeous and comfortable stay! If I’m ever back in the area, this will be the place we stay at again.

Great place to stay for our Thanksgiving getaway!

Amazing place to go with family and friends!

We had a great time staying here. Our two dogs were in heaven with all the space and were welcomed as soon as we checked in with dog bowls and dog beds 😀. Incredible view of Lake Livingston. Kartikes were fantastic hosts and very responsive to our questions. We will definitely be booking again ❤️. 5 Stars across the board 😀.

If you’re looking for peace, quiet and charm, this is the place. We really enjoyed our stay; waking up to the sounds of the frogs and birds is magical, and morning coffee on the porch is the perfect way to start a day. During the day you can birdwatch or fish from the bulkheads; we even saw a small alligator in the marshy area. At night you can see a million stars from the beach- and fireflies in the coastline areas! The house is so clean and tidy, everything was exactly as described in the listing. Jenna is an AMAZING host, her communication is very clear and so easy to follow. She’s put together a great binder of local things to do and places to go which was very helpful. Highly recommend this lovely lake cabin and will definitely be back for another restful weekend away.

Jennifer was the nicest host throughout our stay. She was always responsive and very considerate of all our needs. The house in itself is a beauty. There's also another little house on top of the garage that's so cute all set up like a hotel room. The outside area is huge and super private and the canopied deck was so beautiful to sit or swing and watch the rain. We'll definitely be returning here!

My cousin and I chose Mariska's place because of its proximity to my aunt who lives around the corner. It was an added bonus that the place was so nice, well-stocked and comfortable. Mariska is a generous host and I would not hesitate to recommend her place or return myself.

Gorgeous and comfortable stay! If I’m ever back in the area, this will be the place we stay at again.

The location was perfect, the home was cozy and clean. Host was very responsive and was accommodating. My family enjoyed our time there. Highly recommended

The property is really clean and uncluttered, very welcoming when you enter. The hosts were responsive and helpful. I would recommend this listing and these hosts to anyone wanting to stay in the area.
