About this property
Lake Sam Rayburn - Plenty of boat parking
If you are looking for a romantic get away, this place is not for you. If you want to bring your fishing buddies to kick back, relax and BBQ after a long day, this place is for you.
Come enjoy the famous Lake Sam Rayburn Reservoir. Stay in a recently remodeled home that is located less than 1 mile from Zavalla, TX, which offers a grocery store, restaurants, tackle store and more. The property is not waterfront or waterview, but is centrally located near all the conveniences that the town of Zavalla offers. Only a 5 minute drive to boat ramps Monteray Park, Cassel Boykins Park, and Jackson Hill. Hanks Creek Park is only a 10 minute drive away and it offers swimming and picnic areas for the family to enjoy. We offer plenty of boat and ATV trailer parking with outside plugs. Parking is large enough to hold over 4 boats and trucks without ever unhooking. There is an outdoor grill, firepit and seating under a large shaded trees.
Lake: Sam Rayburn Lake is an army corp lake for flood control that is surrounded by national forest. There are no piers or boathouses allowed on the water and in fact there are very few houses on the lake. Lake has minimum access except for a few parks which we are only a 5 - 10 minute drive to 3 of the main parks being Hanks Creek, Jackson Hill and Cassel Boykins. Be sure to bring your binoculars. There are unbelievable views around the lake where you can sometimes see bald eagles, otters and later in the year possibly an alligator.
Area: Deep East Texas has very limited industries as a result there is rural poverty in the area. With that said, there is an older mobile home within site of our rent house. The guy who owns this does not maintain his property to most peoples standards, but by no means is he a criminal. He is one of the best neighbors that looks out for our property and we are blessed to have such a thoughtful neighbor.
House: The house is very clean and comfortable and should meet all your needs, however this is not waterview but a short distance drive to the water.
None of this is to discourage you! We do not want anyone to be misled since most visitors are not familiar with the area. In this area of the lake, we are by far the cleanest, roomiest, and most modern place for the price.
Located in Zavalla, this vacation home is in a rural area. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Angelina National Forest and Boykin Springs at Angelina National Forest.

Clean and well kept. Kitchen was supplied very well. First thought of being away from the lake was not good. But, it worked great for us to be central to each of the boat ramps where we fish. The internet was the only poor thing of our stay. Once we learned that we can drive the block with the boat, that became super easy.
Nice place with easy access to boat ramps and weigh in area for fishing tournament. Not fancy, basic accommodations. Fishermen will like it just fine. I do feel like it’s a little pricey for the size, location and amenities. There is a slight smell in the place that we couldn’t put our finger on, if you have a discerning nose. It gets the job done. Communication with host was great and they even allowed a late checkout.
The house was clean and worked well for our fishing trip, close to the lake and had plenty of room for boat parking. The host responded quickly when we had problems connecting the internet and the problem was resolved quickly. I will stay here again when going on our next fishing trip to Sam Rayburn reservoir.
Very nice place with excellent accommodations! Had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend this property and location to others. Thanks to the Keith and Jana for sharing their home with us.

Spacious property and cute house. Rooms were large enough to accomodate our big family.

Good set up for fishing a tournament
I enjoyed my stay. It was once of the better places to stay close to Sam Rayburn, from the stories I heard from other fisherman. Wifi was super fast.
