LAKEFRONT CHALET, FLOATING DECK, LARGE YARD, GRILL, CHIMINEA, ALL NEW APPLIANCES

Cozy waterfront Chalet nestled in Big Thicket just outside Ace, TX, 56 miles north of Houston Intercontinental Airport.
This quiet, charming Chalet on a private cove will beckon you back, again and again!
Enjoy the slow pace, peacefulness and sheer beauty of nature all around you on this quiet fishing lake!

Grab a beverage, a good book or fishing pole and come relax on the floating deck! Have breakfast, lunch or dinner there! Gentle movement on water is guaranteed to wipe your stress away! Sitting in the comfy Adirondack chairs underneath the deck's tin roof, enjoy sunlight dancing on water, or bask in the sun on the foredeck, letting all your cares drift away, or just take a little snooze if you wish!

Accommodations: 1 cozy loft bedroom with queen size bed, 1 downstairs bedroom with full- size bed, air-conditioned, woodburning fireplace, electric fireplaces, Internet(high-speed DSL), ROKU TV, Blu-ray player, Cassette player, movie library, small reading library including children’s books, games, large yard, grill, Chiminea.

Area is great for bird and nature watching, biking, running, or just strolling in the country!

Pets:
Your house-trained dogs are welcome with a Pet Fee of $100 for a maximum of 2 canines.
Poop bags are furnished for picking up after your pet.
Leashes are required outside the fenced property.

ALL NEW APPLIANCES: Electric Stove with Air-Fryer/Convection Oven, Refrigerator, Dishwasher and
NEW and lovely, very comfortable, leather loveseat.
NEW Gel Cooled mattress in the downstairs bedroom.
ROKU TV.

NO SWIMMING ALLOWED: This is a stocked fishing lake. We do not permit swimming. One reason is due to the close proximity of the Trinity River. An occasional Alligator has been known to visit and make it their home.

NO BOATS CAN BE BROUGHT IN.
Outside boats are not permitted on our lake. In the past, they were allowed. However, we incurred over $100,000 in fees to clean out what outside boats brought in. We had to kill all plant life, wait a year and are still working on replacing proper plant life in the lake.

Unfortunately, our boat sank in the boat slip due to being vandalized. Sadly, it is no longer available.

SECURITY CAMERAS: This property is monitored by live video security cameras 24/7. They are there for the security of the property as well as for guest’s security. Guests are welcome to unplug the cameras while on the premises. They just need to be sure to plug them back in prior to departing. Thank you in advance for your compliance!

Relaxing Getaway
The rental is in a quiet and peaceful location. Nature is all around you and there are so many sitting areas outside to take it in.. My husband fished and I watched the squirrels and the birds. The floating dock was perfect. The kitchen is equipped with everything. Patricia is an amazing host. She provided restaurants for us to visit. She knew the best place for my husband to get bait.. The house is cozy and has books, games, dvds, VCR tapes and all kinds of things to keep you busy. We will be back, it was a cozy retreat and a great escape from the city.

Our Happy Place
We’ve been coming to The Cozy Chalet for almost 3 years. The lake view is magnificent and unobstructed . We love the personal getaway and retreat feel we have when we are here. We love that we can bring our dogs and that they are as welcome as we are here. Patricia always makes sure we have everything we need. She decorates for every holiday, giving it an extra feeling of being at home. Thanks for sharing the Cozy Chalet with us time and again.

Best Birthday Trip!
We stayed at this wonderful property for my 55th birthday and had a fabulous time! The property was so charming and peaceful. All amenities were as described and we had everything we needed. The property owner was very nice and very responsive to correspondence before and after the trip. The days were spent fishing and hanging out. The nights were beautiful and serene. The State Park is nearby and a must-visit. I will definitely be making an annual visit to this property!

Super Cute, Relaxing Lake View Chalet
Wonderful stay and very relaxing! This host has thought of almost everything! Kitchen and bath were both well stocked with everything you will need and then some! Communication with Patricia was easy, a message was immediately sent after booking via VRBO with her cell number in case of any other questions. Our dog was also able to run around the fenced in yard without us having to worry about him getting out. There is also good fishing here, we caught lots of fish! So much fun! Thank you for sharing your lake house!

Charming cabin on the lake.
We had a great stay at your charming cabin on the lake. Sitting on the front porch was very peaceful, I loved the group of ducks that came flying in the morning and evening.

Weekend Getaway
We enjoyed our stay here on the lake. Patricia was prompt to respond and answer questions related to the water levels nearing our stay. The house was just as advertised. The loft room could get warm (especially with 100° outside) during the day but temperature was very comfortable on the main level and everywhere in the evenings. Kitchen had lots of pots and pans to cook. Views of the water were lovely and the area was quiet and restful for our weekend getaway.

Perfect quiet getaway
My fiancee and I took our two dogs to stay at this lake house for a few days. The property is beautiful and quiet, there was ample space for the dogs to run and we enjoyed lounging around on the floating deck and by the fire in the outdoor chiminea. I highly recommend this place if you're looking to just get away and recharge, and if you wake up early enough to watch the sun rise over the water, you won't be disappointed.

Caught some nice catfish
Very peaceful area. So many beautiful birds. Fishing was good and a plus was the late evening gators crossing the point. House is a work of eclectic art - you could spend a couple of hours just looking through all of it. All in all a good time.
