Reviews

Peaceful, spacious, accommodation for family celebration
4/5 stars
This is not the 1st time we have stayed at Marlin House to celebrate an anniversary or birthday. It is on the water & very peaceful with ducks flying over, birds singing, watching boats full of fishermen coming in the channel quietly trolling & casting their lines. The hammock is a great place to relax - maybe even a nap there. The covered area with the table & chairs outside presented a picnic atmosphere for every meal & space for “hand & foot” card game! The space in the downstairs is right for the oldest generation - with walk-in shower & no steps- 2 bathrooms on this floor are handy. The upstairs with the foosball game & bunkbeds for the kids & big lounging area with big tv & comfortable seating was great for special family movie. We walked to the boat dock (for the exercise) & played tetherball!! That got us all laughing & making super fun memories! Marlin House is a very relaxing place yet great place to engage with family!

5/5 stars
We had a great time. Enough parking for a truck with bass boat attached and two other cars. Boat slip was awesome and worked great. Enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings on the docks as the sun went down. Quite neighborhood and close to town.
- Perry

It was a pleasure hosting you, Perry! I'm thrilled to hear that you had a great time at The Marlin House and that the parking and boat slip met your needs. The evenings on the docks sound wonderful, and I'm glad you enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood and convenient location. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and I hope to welcome you back in the future!

Awesome house.
5/5 stars
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit at the lake house. We caught some catfish right off the dock. It is located in a quiet community, but not to far from the city of Willis. The only thing I would change is to provide a 10-12 cup coffee pot, especially for a house that potentially holds 8 people. We hope to return soon. I highly recommend.
- Cynthia

Thank you so much for the lovely review! I’m glad you had a great stay and enjoyed some fishing off the dock. The quiet setting with easy access to Willis is one of our favorite things too. We do have a drip coffee maker available in the pantry, so sorry it was missed! We’d love to have you back anytime. Thanks again for the kind words and recommendation!
