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. The space *Hurricane Beryl completely destroyed our bulkhead and damaged our land and boathouse in July 2024. We have just reopened the calendar in June 2025. It has been rebuilt/repaired, but new photos have not been uploaded yet as we are waiting on some final details from the contractor. If there are any significant differences to your experience, we will let you know, but we do not anticipate any at this time relative to the photos listed.* You won’t ever want to leave the huge, shady deck hammock with million dollar lake views, unless maybe it’s to jump off 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, your friends, your spouse, or 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. 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 two ladders 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 fishing 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! No smoking and no pets - signs of either one will cause forfeit of the security deposit. Guest access Ski 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, and there is plenty of room to park a boat trailer on the road at the house (so bring your own trailer lock). Do not climb on boat or boat lift. Other things to note Additional Perks: Keurig coffee station with single cup brewer, pods, creamers, and an AeroPress. Granite countertopped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and full kitchen including real dishes such as plates, bowls, mugs, glasses and silverware. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash in both bathrooms. Clean house towels and lake towels. Laundry detergent and dryer sheets. Gas grille on the deck with grilling utensils. Great AT&T cell phone service unlike many areas around Lake Livingston. (other carriers unknown) High speed wireless internet One smart TV in the living room Closet full of board games and puzzles & kids nook. Pack n Play and washable sheet in master closet. Notes: We do have one security camera pointed at the gate/parking spot just in case we ever had an unexpected trespasser. No other cameras on property. Please do not tamper with. There is a locked rope swing on the dock. It is not for guest use and we cannot provide the lock code as insurance shut that down.
