Decked out
My family of 5, my sister and niece and a couple of boyfriends rounded out our group of 9. We had a wonderful time. The deck was great. We enjoyed the view and the location at the end of the lake. Great space for lawn games. Cool fire pit. Air conditioning units in bedrooms were awesome. We had one minor issue and it was resolved promptly. We were able to secure our jet skis on the dock. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Sparrows nest stay
The property was beautiful... just as advertised. The checkin checkout process was archaic.. and a waste of time. Is it too much to ask that the check in and check out process be managed by electronic keys/locks?

Plenty of room to play volleyball, Bocce ball, Frisbee, hang hammocks and slack lines. The only improvement would be a beach…hint, hint. Love Lake Bellaire.
