The Gregory

"Airbnb Review #1032724800585043620 #231409"

This is a great location with easy walking access to a beautiful lake. We stayed here because we needed the extra rooms for a big family Thanksgiving that we were having at my parents house just across the lake. The house was spotless and very comfortable. It is a perfect retreat if you are looking for a quiet weekend on the water. It's about a 20 minute drive into the town of Crockett from the house where you will find all of the usual stores (walmart, fastfood, gas, restaurants, etc). I highly recommend a stay here!

The place was great! We loved the peace and quiet and my kiddos loved seeing all the deer roaming the neighborhood! Will be staying there again in the future!

The Gregory was great. The boardwalk and dock were excellent. The backdoor living space was perfect. Highly recommend.

"Airbnb Review #992855185017006957 #224683"

Great location and easy walk to lake. Well appointed kitchen with everything you need for your stay. Enjoyed the lakeside deck and coffee on back decks.

"Airbnb Review #954452566174584467 #210943"

The place was stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and will always book with them when booking in the area.

We enjoyed our stay. It’s a really nice house and was a great bargain.

"Airbnb Review #886287508012804732 #197836"

Great place to stay! Responsive hosts, clean and tidy!

"Airbnb Review #873200993728191289 #195996"

Everything was wonderful! A hugh front porch! Beautiful decking and outdoor spaces with towering trees! Large rooms and plenty of indoor space. Wildlife - deer, birds, and even a horse outside the fence. The cell phone reception was not good. T-mobile seemed to work but AT&T had no reception at all. This was not a problem for our group. Would highly recommend The Gregory for your next lake adventure!

"Airbnb Review #854391716164227542 #192753"

I would definitely stay here again. Great property that is well equipped, clean, and comfortable.

"Airbnb Review #781207074245176880 #182276"

It’s a nice location, great layout, and we loved the outdoor fire pit. Firewood and starter was a nice touch. Brenda was very responsive to any issues that came up. She even brought us skewers to roast marshmallows. Just be sure to watch your step in and out of the front door.

"Airbnb Review"

The place was prefect, our kids had a great time! Brenda and Mark were superb hosts, we will definitely stay here again.

"Airbnb Review"

Had to come back again! That’s how good it was.

"Airbnb Review"

This is the perfect home for a get away. Not to far from the city, but not to close you cant enjoy the country. I loved how organized Brenda and Mark made using the house. they even provide food service menus, map of the lake, and more. They provide start supply of the house, when helped when getting in way late at night. The house is right by the lake, they even provide kayaks for use. You need a house for a perfect get away, this is the house! 10/10.

"Guest Book"

Great Time and Great Place to stay. Mark & Brenda thought of everything. We will be back for sure.

Thank You Chandler and Anhie

Perfect Getaway w Great Curb Appeal!...The Gregory is Adorable! Property had everything we needed...plus some. Great Front Porch...enjoyed morning coffee & watching the rain at Night. Bed was comfortable and had plenty of pillows. Loved all the Trees surrounding the home and adding shade. Thoroughly enjoyed fishing from the pier day & night. The Copus obviously take pride in their properties and it shows!

My girlfriends and I stayed at the Gregory for the weekend and absolutely loved it!! The lake and kayaks were amazing we spent about 5hrs on the lake! The home was so cozy we highly recommend this home and or try any other one Mark and Brenda have to offer you will not be disappointed the peacefulness was amazing and definitely priceless coming from the city of San Antonio with all the hustle and bustle it was heaven!! Can’t wait to go back!!

Beautiful house and property. Enjoyed the stay and will return

"Airbnb Review"

Great house. great backyard.

"VRBO Review"

The Gregory is part of a larger development all owned by the same people. The property is terrific, the house we rented was off the lake a short walk, 3 minutes, but still had it’s own dock and kayaks reserved. The dock, steps, entire structure is very sturdy and looks great. The dock has a great view of the water and is a great place to relax whether you want to kayak or not. The house was also very nice, comfortable beds, well stocked with all the dishes, silverware, basics anyone would need. The Wi-Fi works well and they have Roku. The house itself also has a couple of great patios which are very nice places to relax and eat meals, very nicely wooded area. They’ve also thought about a lot of small things to make staying there easier, they’ve labeled the kitchen cabinets, drawers, every light switch, and have plenty of other information around the house to make staying there easy and comfortable. It was mid March when we stayed, but you can tell mosquitoes thrive around the lake, nothing the home owner can do about this, though I think he has a mosquito misting system, so be sure to bring plenty of repellant and other tools to keep them away. This house and property are definitely worth your vacation time. Renters change all the time, but the ones we met while there were very friendly, making it much more pleasant to use the common areas on the docks. Thanks to the owners and we’ll be back!

Owner Response: Hi David and thanks for the nice review. We’re glad you enjoyed the property and do hope to see you back. I did want to clarify the Mosquito situation.. The bugs you saw likely weren’t mosquitos. They do resemble them and are easily mistaken for mosquitos but are quite harmless and do not bite. Periodically they are worse than other times and mostly at night and are attracted to light. We have signs suggesting outside rail lights be used with overhead or porch lights left off. This usually works quite well. We seldom have complaints about mosquitos though they do exist here. I honestly rarely get bit.
A little history on them, these bugs showed up for the first time about 4 years ago, prior to that they were non existent. We were hoping they would disappear with the big freeze but we weren’t so lucky it seems. We aren’t even sure what they are called but we do know they are attracted to light. We do fog for them in the late spring and summer and it helps but the best solution is to minimize lighting, they generally leave you alone but can be annoying at times.
A funny story, when we first moved to the area I was worried about the lake and mosquitos. As time went on and the weather warmed I noticed none of us were getting bit. I was talking with one of the local fisherman and asked why there weren’t many mosquitos and he said “ the fish eat them, they’ll eat the larvae in a heartbeat.”
It seems to have been true!

"Google Review"

Hard to imagine a more welcoming place to spend your time with friends and family than Vacation Country Rentals! After our first time a few years ago we really fell in love with the place and became regular guests. Everything is perfect here - lovely spotless very well-equipped houses (I believe we stayed in each one :-), comfortable beds, relaxing atmosphere, cute backyards or cozy decks with a nice view, if you prefer to stay on the lake. Vacation Country Rentals is suitable for recreation in any season and weather. Last time even two days heavy rain couldn't ruin our stay. In our hearts, Mark and Brenda have won the title of Superhosts forever.
Wow, what an awesome and much appreciated review!

What we do here wouldn’t be possible without the guests we’re so fortunate to attract. It makes our job not only easy, but enjoyable.
Thanks so much. Until next time!!’

Owners were awesome people. Great place for a get away!

Owner Response: Thank you Steve, it was great meeting you both. We hope to see you again soon.

The Gregory was the perfect home for us while we were in Crockett visiting with Family for Thanksgiving. We look forward to another visit in the future.

This location is just beautiful. The peace and quiet were just what we needed. The house was immaculate! They thought of everything you might need. The fire pit in the back provided a great time for smores and ghost stories. We will be back!

Guest Book:
We enjoyed our stay! This was a great way toi visit our son and meet his new girlfriend. The peacefulness was so nice. The weather didn't cooperate very well, but we spent a lot of time playing games and loved the fire pit. Making smores and telling ghost stories at this time of year was perfect. The house is great! You've thought of everything to make the stay comfortable and fun. We will be back!

"Air BnB Review"

“The Gregory is a perfect getaway for a small family. During our stay we enjoyed the private dock, where we fished and kayaked; the ample backyard space; the fire pit for roasting marshmallows; the grill for grilling great food; and the front porch swing to relax and watch the deer. This is a great value for this location, especially for a family wanting to spend as much time as possible outdoors. While the dock is not immediately adjacent to the house, it’s a short walk away, and not a problem at all. The dock has a picnic table with umbrella, fish cleaning station, and five kayaks with oars (there are life vests in the house). Needless to say, our kiddos were in heaven. The house is super clean, and very cozy. Recommend bringing a few extra bath towels if you don’t want to do a lot of laundry (the hosts are upfront about that, so this is not a negative criticism, just a tip for your visit!). House is not super sound proof so if you have kiddos sensitive to noise and want to watch a movie (or have other kiddos who are loud), it may be worthwhile to bring a sleep machine. Living room couch is super comfortable. Beds and pillows are good, too. Master bathroom is nice, though we couldn’t figure out the whirlpool tub to work (likely user error). The backyard is awesome. Lots of green space to play, multiple areas to eat, two grills (gas and charcoal), and a fire pit that was cleverly placed so you can see the stars (as the rest of the property is blanketed in beautiful, massive tree cover). Front porch is straight out of a country song with a porch swing and table and chairs. Both the hosts and the caretakers in the property are super lovely, kind, and responsive. This is a phenomenal value and highly recommend you book your next visit!”

“Great family place to stay for a weekend. Our family enjoyed fishing and kayaking at the lake and seeing deer on our walks. I would recommend.”

"VRBO & Guest Book Review"

The Gregory is a nice house. It is well laid out and well stocked. The outdoor space is so pleasant. I drank my morning coffee from the front porch swing. My youngest child and I went looking for (and found) many deer. My husband and I enjoyed beers on the dock while watching the sunset. The whole family enjoyed a meal of grilled steaks on the back porch and s'mores toasted over the firepit. The property as a whole is so pretty and thoughtfully put together. We enjoyed our leisure time at the lake. Also, Crockett isn't a far drive and had the conveniences we needed.

Our kids had a 3 day weekend off from school. We enjoyed very much our lake getaway. The area is beautiful and the accommodations were just right.

"VRBO Review"

We spent a week at the Gregory house by the lake. What a great little community and surrounding nature. We had access to our own private fishing dock complete with picnic table & umbrella. We utilized the kayaks and just had the best time jumping off the dock and swimming. The management seems to take a lot of pride in the property and the community. We can't wait to come back and enjoy the peace and solitude.

"Guest Book Review"

Thank you for providing us a nice getaway from the busy/crazy life in Houston. We will definitely be back!

"VRBO/Guest Book Review"

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and everything was well labeled and easy to figure out. The property owners were very nice and easily accessible. We also enjoyed the use of the kayaks and fishing dock.

Guest Book Review: We thoroughly enjoyed staying here for a little family getaway. The house was perfect, we hope to visit again.

Owner Response: Thanks so much for the nice reviews. We're very happy you enjoyed The Gregory and the dock area.

This was the perfect covid friendly property to getaway from all the stresses of city living.

“Great space and great location! Loved how spacious the house was and the surrounding area was beautiful! Mark and Brenda also graciously let us check-in early as we were evacuating from Hurricane Laura. We will definitely be back!”

Hi.
This place was really cool, but really chill. It was a nice getaway from all the mess that's going on right now. So basically it was a nice isolated Vacay. Anyways Thanks!

Jas 14 yrs
P.S. say our goodbyes to Cynthia and Derek the deer, Koichi the Daddy Long Legs, Fernando the frog, Weesnaw the horse, and last Harold the water measuring tool thingy that was in the lake. and Siren Head ( I didn't forget hime, he was a big branch so don't worry) and if you see a pink and white volleyball it was ours.

Owner response: I had no idea all these critters had names. Especially the branch. If only you had left pictures of Cynthia and Derek I'd know which two of the hundreds they were. In the meantime, we will keep our eyes peeled for that volleyball.

"VRBO Review"

The property is little one friendly; the house decor, the back yard, and the location. The two king size beds are very comfortable, the rooms were perfect size, the common area is great. The house is just a little walk away from the lake which means we could go swim when we wanted but the little one could run around and we weren't worried about him running to the water. The owner is very friendly and answered all our questions quickly. Totally recommend this place!

"Guest Book Review"

Nice Break and way to celebrate our Anniversary. We will be back.

"VRBO Review"

Very clean property, comfortable, well furnished and equiped. The garden is lovely and well-maintained. There is dock where you have access to kayaks and you can go fishing in the lake. This is a safe area if you have kids and it is only few minutes away by walk from the property. We had a very good experience overall and would recommend this place if you are looking for a getaway as a family.

"VRBO Review"

We had our family and some friends together. Everyone had a blast. It’s a walk to the water and those stairs are a kicker but it was well worth the sore calves. Quiet neighborhood and everyone was very nice. We will be returning!

Owner Response: Thank you Amanda. We often joke "Where else can you go on Vacation and get healthy! We do hope you utilized the parking spot at the top of the stairs and utilized the benches on the stairway for periodic rest. The hills are what attracted us to the area. It can be a workout but as you say, It's worth it!!!

"Air BnB Review"

“Our family had an AMAZING experience staying at the Gregory House. We booked our vacation during Covid and were very pleased with the cleanliness of the home. We enjoyed the privacy of the backyard-fitted with gas and charcoal grill, large patio table, separate covered cabana with table and fire pit with wood and starters included. Just a short walk away, there is a designated staircase leading down to a pier with kayaks and picnic table with umbrella ready host your family adventures. Communication with Brenda was perfect, she responded promptly with any questions we had. We will definitely be back!”

If you're looking to spend some time 1) out of the city 2) near a lake 3) somewhere quiet and relaxing 4) a clean, comfortable, and family friendly - this is it!!!

"Air BnB Review"

Mark & Brenda’s place was incredible. Our stay at the Gregory was perfect. The house was very clean, furnished to comfort, and included the most important amenities. We really enjoyed cooking on the grill provided outside and relaxing by the fire pit. The access to the lake and basketball court also made our stay very enjoyable. We are definitely coming back, and bringing more people with us, hopefully at Pat’s Place, to get a taste of our wonderful experience here. Thank you so much to Mark & Brenda for being great hosts and making this possible!!!

"Air BnB Review"

Extremely clean property - immaculate! Brenda & Mark allowed us to park our stock trailer in the driveway & even allowed us to check-in an hour early. We were in town for a Longhorn Cattle auction & found this great place to enjoy for our stay. In the evening we sat on the back porch, sharing a glass of wine & watching the deer bed down behind the house! In the mornings, we took a walk along side the lake view! Very relaxing weekend!

"Air BnB Review"

Great stay!

"Air BnB Review"

What a wonderful week I spent at The Gregory. I felt like I was home, and the lake is beautiful and just a short walk away. The backyard at The Gregory is so inviting, with a large deck with two grill areas, a gazebo, a perfect place for a cookout for a gathering of friends and family, as well as the spacious, open-concept interior of the home and relaxing front porch. Mark and Brenda were amazing hosts, and I am looking forward to returning to The Gregory!

"Air BnB Review"

Clean, spacious and well-labeled to help find everything needed. A wonderful accommodation.

Great place to stay. Don’t hesitate to stay its more than worth it

"Air BnB Review"

Expect an impeccably clean and comfortable house with extra touches you will not find elsewhere.

"Air BnB Review"

This home is beautiful and large rooms. It was a short walk to the lake and there are quite a few steps but they do have one spot assigned for The Gregory at the tops of the stairs if you would rather drive. We grilled and roasted marshmallows in the firepit. My favorite spot was the front porch swing where I could drink my morning coffee and watch the deer.

"Air BnB Review"

You will enjoy this stay. Cooking out, the lake life, making s'mores outside was just a few of our favs. Walmart and other restaurants near by. Owners are great and near by but privacy was not a issue. We will revisit but try a different property to check those out.

"Air BnB Review"

Mark and Brenda we're amazing hosts and so helpful and responsive. The place we stayed was so clean and comfortable, and spacious. Great weather for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and having a BBQ and fire in the fire pit. Mark and Brenda also gave us a tour of their available properties and we would love to come again with a larger group and stay in one of their other beautiful lake front properties.

"Air BnB Review"

Awesome space in a great location with stellar hosts and hospitality! Great house with a great backyard, spacious patios, and large covered front porch. Comfy couches. Plenty of pillows. Washer and dryer stocked with detergent. The lake is a short walk away and just great. Trees everywhere and plenty of deer out and about. Hosts really helped make the visit - super responsive, personable, happy to help, and just great. Highly recommend y'all check this place out!

"Facebook Review: Vacation Country Rentals"

Mark and Brenda were wonderful hosts and fun to talk to. They have several lovely rental places and everything is so clean and nice. Very well kept grounds too. We had a wonderful time staying on the lake and would definitely recommend to anyone.

"Air BnB Review"

This place is a hidden gem in the East Texas Piney Woods. All of us (two couples and three kids) were able to stay in comfort in this very spacious house. The owners are always easy to contact in case you need anything, and they are eager to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The property has plenty of parking, is meticulously maintained (inside and out), and has easy lake access. The pictures say everything. This place has all the potential for whatever you make it: - Wanna cook? Bring all the fixings because there's a full-size kitchen with plenty of seating. Or, you can eat on the private (and covered) deck out back. - Wanna swim? Walk down to the lake, grab a kayak or just jump off the dock (kayaks included). - Wanna fish? Bring your poles and fish right off the dock (dock included). - Wanna sit by the fire and cook smores? Head out back with the whole family and light a fire in your own private fire-pit (firewood included). - Wanna spend a quiet night with your special someone? Snuggle up with your special someone on the back deck and check out the stars. - Wanna watch a movie with the family? Why with all the great outdoors? Nonetheless, there are TV’s in each bedroom as well as one in the living room. - Wanna go for a hike? Walk down the dirt-road under plenty of shade trees and check out all kinds of wildlife.

"Air BnB Review"

When we first rolled into the driveway, we were blown away by how big the deck was! We got ourselves into the home and were amazed by the open living room and kitchen concept! Three bedrooms and two bathrooms were clean and tidy. Two of rooms I believe had King Size beds and the third had a bunk bed setup (bottom was a full, top was a twin). All bedrooms and living rooms had TVs but we were too busy enjoying what the area had to offer! We missed out on using the Kayaks but Mark and Brenda were very accommodating to our group.

"Facebook Review: Vacation Country Rentals"

We stayed at The Gregory, and could not have asked for a more relaxing few days!! The home was very modern, well furnished, and had a lot of peace and quiet with 2 outdoor seating areas, and lots of trees in a beautifully maintained yard. We were near lots of deer, raccoon, and squirrels wherever we looked. Our boys (6 & 2) had lots of fun making memories. The lake was a short walk up the hill, and had a private dock access to the lake. We enjoyed our stay, and are looking forward to coming back!!

Owner response:
We’re very happy you enjoyed your stay and are grateful for your nice review. We hope to see you return. Thank you

"Quiet getaway"

Great place for a birthday celebration and cycle race in Palestine. Backyard was really nice with the decks, grill and fire pit. Lake was quiet and relaxing. Owners were very nice and always responded to any questions promptly. The larger houses on the lake looked impressive - a great excuse to come back for a family reunion or gathering!

"Great Weekend Getaway"

The fish weren't biting, but our long weekend getaway was still a wonderful time and in no small part due to the accommodations at The Gregory. Back yard set up is awesome with a lit gazebo for relaxing and a firepit for all your s'mores and hot dog roasting needs. A great place to stay if you wanna stay inside or outside or mix it up. Docks make it convenient to fish with kayaks available to get out on the lake. Beautiful surroundings with plenty of wildlife to see. With kids or without, with friends or family, or just looking for a nice place to stay while getting in some fishing, The Gregory is perfect for all your needs.

Also, it should be mentioned that the few issues that did arise (as they always do) were met with quick and friendly responses by the owner who made sure everything was perfect for us. They even went above and beyond in offering help when they learned we were having trouble with our van.

"Beautiful Property"

We stayed at The Gregory in August. There were two families -- with three small children. The house is spacious, very clean and well-appointed with amenities. The backyard is large with lots of trees and a fire pit. We all loved the back deck and front porch. There is a deck off the back door, as well as a second deck with awning. Tables and chairs on both decks provide ample space for drinking coffee or chatting. There is a charcoal grill as well. The front porch is great! There was an afternoon rain shower on one of the days we were there, and it was so relaxing to sit on the porch swing and listen to the rain.

As far as the lake, it is a short walk up the road to a nice wooden stairway/pathway down to the lake. Someone put a lot of work into building that pathway! We did not try out the kayaks, but other guests staying at some of the other houses seemed to enjoy them. The dock for the Gregory has a picnic table on it, with a ladder that allows you to enter the lake for swimming. The water was warm and about mid-chest deep for the adults, and the kids wore puddle jumpers.

The owners are responsive and friendly, and all of their vacation properties in the area look very well-kept. We greatly enjoyed our stay!

"Beautiful weekend!"

The Gregory is a beautiful house! Perfectly clean upon arrival. Perfect for the 5 of us for a long weekend. The backyard was amazing. Loved morning coffee sitting in the gazebo and cooking dinner on the charcoal grill. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and glasses. We will definitely be back!

"Great Time"

We had such a great time. The Gregory was beautiful inside and out. We will be back. the place was very clean and ice in the ice maker. The tub was heaven. The property was so nice. We didn't eat out. My son bar-b-que both night that we where there. The lake was so pretty and clean. We did fish but, didn't catch anything. I would tell everybody if you make plans to go to Crockett stay at The Gregory.....................

"Julie C."

What a great place to relax and enjoy East Texas! The weather was perfect, lake was beautiful, and the property was so well kept. I can't say enough about our stay, the Gregory was a perfect fit for the 4 of us, with room to spare.

Hope to schedule a family reunion there using the entire place!! Thanks again for being available when we had questions!

"Girls Weekend Away"

Great place for a very relaxing weekend with my sister and niece. The home is clean, comfortable, and had most everything we needed including lots of outdoor patio/deck space. This was our third trip to this location and we will be going again next year.

"Great Scene, Great People"

Our small group came out for a weekend away & this place was UNBELIEVABLE. It features a great, open, spacious living area & kitchen with three bedrooms, and two large decks (front and back of the house). There's a large, open back yard with a bbq pit, fire pit, horseshoes station, and gazebo. Within five minutes of walking to the Houston County Lake, which is FULL. Definitely feels like your secluded as trees surround you, and it made for a great trip removed from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. Would recommend 100%! If you have the margin in your budget, Pats Place is right on the lake and it looks magnificent. Mark is super nice and graciously gave us an extra stack of logs for the pit.

"The Gregory Weekend"

My friends have made a yearly tradition of renting a vacation home to get away from the kids and city life in general. This is the perfect spot. It is spacious enough for 6 people to move around comfortable. It's very well maintained. There's a lake nearby, but we barely leave the house. It's equipped with necessary pots and pans to for your normal baking and cooking needs. We were looking to see a trio of female deer hanging right outside the front door. The only bad thing I can say is since we have talked to other people more want to join us and I fear we will outgrow the 7 people capacity.

If you are looking for a good get away this is the place to book.

"Exceeded our expectations"

The Gregory is a spacious and very clean house just a short walk to a shared dock lake side. My brother and I enjoyed fishing on the lake and relaxing in the quiet back covered patios in the evening. I look forward to staying again soon and would highly recommend The Gregory. The other properties surrounding (same owner) also look well maintained.

Overall it was a very pleasant place to stay on a beautiful East Texas lake.

"Wonderful getaway!"

Spent a three day stay and wished we could have stayed longer. The owners made us feel very welcome and part of the family. The house was immaculate, comfortable, and perfect for our three generation family with its split bedrooms floor plan. We hope to get the chance to spend more time at this family getaway. The hot tub was a big hit too!

"Quiet, lovely retreat"

There is a swing on the porch and shade from numerous trees. We walked the area and all their properties are nicely landscaped. It is probably striking in November with colorful fall foliage. Everything was clean and looked like new, and the kitchen well stocked for cooking. We are already planning a return visit with extended family to stay in one of their larger properties.

"WONDERFUL"

We stayed at the Gregory over the weekend and had an amazing time. Everything was delightful and peaceful. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone that would like to just go away and get out of the city. Thank you for providing us a very nice place to stay. Everything was amazing!

"Cousins weekend"

This is the second time we have stayed at the Gregory, and it continues to be our favorite!! Everything is so well thought out and detailed for you! We loved sitting out back watching the deer graze only 40' away. Just AWESOME!!!

"Family fun!"

We really enjoyed our stay at the Gregory. The house was spacious & very comfortable. The fire pit was wonderful and the horseshoes & basketball entertaining. The kids loved the hot tub, especially since the weather was too chilly to swim in the lake. The docks are beautiful & allowed for easy access to the canoe. Our favorite experience was seeing the deer in the evening. We would definitely go back.
