Lake Sam Rayburn - Enjoy the Fishing and Outdoors

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.
