About this property

"Creekside" a Lake, Creek, Forest & Rolling Hills

We are open and we have instituted additional and quite often duplicate cleaning and disinfecting practices. This will assure that our guests enter a home that is as clean and disinfected as possible. We have always been confident and proud of our cleaning staff and believe our reviews attest to our already high standards of cleanliness.

Air BnB and VRBO users can contact us for a list of all 7 homes they Sleep from 6-18 All Homes except Creekside are within easy walking distance of each other.

Creekside is the perfect property for those that want some room to spread out. As you approach through the gate and take your first corner on the driveway you'll see the house setting near the edge of a bluff. The home is neat, modern and well stocked for your stay.

Go in, unload and get ready to play. The property has several smaller trails that are perfect for supervised children to explore. Search for the spring that appears out the side of a hill and disappears again into the ground. See if the kids can find the conjoined tree. A tree connected by a big root where one side is dead and the other flourishing. Find the fern gardens and take note how much cooler it is with the springs feeding the ferns water.

One thing you'll notice is the bridge across the creek, which incidentally never runs dry. Cross the creek and you're on a dirt road that loops or takes you to the lake which is approx. 7/10th's of a mile away. Of course you'll want to continue exploring the property before venturing away.
Walk up the steep hill or go back a ways and take the easy hill.....you'll come up near the deck that overlooks what one of our guests named "Fern Gulley". The walk back to the house area lights up at night, sitting on either of the two large decks is a purely a matter of choice.
There are almost two climate zones on this property. firstly you have the lower wet lands and then the drier upper woodlands where you'll actually find species of cacti. We have also been told by a number of bird enthusiast the viewing is quite impressive.

Creekside has room to store and turn a trailer on the "sound" coleche driveway.

As always, we are a call or email away and are more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Absolutely wonderful!
Everything at Creekside was absolutely wonderful! It was super clean. The location was great. So quiet and peaceful. Our pup loved it - he had lots of space to roam. Everything that we needed for a great trip with our grandson. Highly recommend. Can’t wait for our next trip to Crockett so we can stay here again.

Wifi was hit and miss
Over all nice and quiet. For persons of the technical age was not so. Wifi was terrible and we all had at&t. No data or phones. I myself enjoyed being unplugged for a few days.

Serenity in the woods
Perfect little place in the woods. Nothing fancy yet everything you need.There was a burn ban in the area that had just been lifted, so I sent Mark a text and he responded right away that we could have a fire outside. Very secluded even though near the highway. Deer were in the yard when we pulled in.

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Brenda Copus

Host profile image
Brenda and I grew up in Massachusetts and moved to Texas back in 1978. We lived in Spring outside of Houston where we raised about half of our 5 kids. When Spring became Houston I couldn't take the urban sprawl and wanted to pull the plug.
We decided on Houston County Lake outside of Crockett because of the terrain and plentiful trees and wildlife.
It reminded us very much of New England.

We raised the last of our kids and they attended a small school in Latexo, a town of 200 or so just east of the lake.
The last child is now going through college and we have been fortunate to see the first 4 graduate U.T. Austin...with the 5th to follow.
As corny as it may sound, a very large part of the reason we pursued the vacation rental business is the enjoyment we get from watching and hearing about families re-bonding and kids catching their first or biggest fish.
It's a very rewarding business.

Why they chose this property

Wood, woods, woods! lol
When we bought this property to build Creekside a strange thing happened. I started getting urges to move onto the land as working there was so peaceful, relaxing yet invigorating at the same time.
Taking lunch made me realize how beautiful the wooded area was. Of course, I am only half of the equation and the other half loved the lake so much that I backed down and settled for doing chores to get my fix!

What makes this property unique

***** Come visit Creekside and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Take a walk in the woods!******
