Fantastic property. It has everything and more. There is even a Starbucks around the corner. I had nothing but compliments from the family on booking it.

Thanks so much for the great review! We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed the stay (and the Starbucks around the corner 😊). You’re welcome back anytime!
The property and house was exactly as advertised and even greater then our expectation. Clean, perfect location for our events in Van, Tx. Management and owner easy to work with. We are planning our next visit already.

From the owner: "Hi Lois, thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at First Catch Lake House. It means a lot to us that you took the time to share your experience. You're welcome back anytime!"
House was very clean with lots of room. Beds were comfortable and everything we needed was already stocked. Close drive for First Monday. Will be booking again very soon.
This property was stunning. Great views, wonderful location. Would stay again.

Really great place to stay. Home is very nice, clean and comfortable. Received prompt answers to the few questions we had. Easy drive to First Monday Trade Days in Canton, and a very nice place to relax and unwind after a long day of shopping. The outdoor area is beautiful, right on the lake. Although we didn’t use the game area, it appears to be well equipped and is definitely spacious. Would definitely stay here again.
