About this property

"The Gregory", Kayaks, Dock, Decks and a huge front porch

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.
At this time we feel you, your family and friends can visit our homes and easily limit contact to those in your party, providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

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

The first thing you notice when driving up to The Gregory is the long porch with the big hanging ferns, (in season). Enjoy relaxing on the porch swing while reading a book or enjoy a cup of coffee while watching the deer roam the neighborhood at the cafe table. Park in the large circular driveway or pull down the side of the home.

Head into the home and you'll fall in love with the open concept and large spacious rooms. The home comes with wifi and televisions in every bedroom. The living room T.V. offers Netflix. The master bedroom is spacious and has a large bath with a shower, corner whirlpool and corner double sink vanity. The second king bedroom is also very roomy. The third bedroom is a twin over full bunk designed for kids. Of course the kitchen and dining areas are great and there's a lengthy bar area where everyone can enjoy visiting.
Walk out the rear slider onto the back deck where the gas grill is located. If you prefer, go sit in the cabana, turn on the fan and enjoy the evening. If it's chilly or you simply want a fire, light one with the complimentary stack of firewood. Maybe roast some marshmallows or make smores. Either way you're sure to bond with family or friends.

Head up the road a short distance to the lake and your own private section of pier.
you have a 14'x20' dock to use as well as a fish cleaning station. One of the best parts has to be the kayaks. The cove is small and sheltered (though caution should be used) and perfect for the adventurous souls to explore. People exploring the cove may see birds, deer and beaver. It's very undeveloped and pristine.
Houston County Lake is a beautiful quiet lake nestled in the woods of East Texas. We consider it one of the areas best kept secrets and think you'll agree.

We have many antique shops and one of a kind restaurants. Do some internet searching and see what the area has to offer. Our homes are on Houston County Lake

In memory of Greg "The Big Kahuna" Philipon.

Great Lake Location
Our family traveled for our reunion and this was the perfect location. Walking distance to the retreat and Lake. Our kids really enjoyed the kayaking, backyard had a fun setup, and the property was charming. Will definitely book for next year!

Really nice and quiet
We picked this house for a weekend getaway to take our boys to a concert in Palestine. The house is really nice, well maintained and the back yard is awesome. The private dock and kayaks are great for anyone with a boat or looking to fish.

Great Spring Break!
We really enjoyed our time at The Gregory! We were looking for a place to get away from all the things, and we very much found it. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake (my 8yo went by herself for the first time!), roasting marshmallows on the campfire, and just generally absorbing the peace and quiet. The house itself was well-equipped and just as described. It was just the recharge we needed to finish out spring semester, and we hope to be back :)

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Brenda Copus

Host profile image
Brenda and I both grew up in Massachusetts. In the blizzard of 1978 I lost everything and decided it was time for a new adventure. I moved down to Texas, eventually Brenda came down and we started a family and had five great kids. When I was young I started a construction business and had it for years. I always enjoyed building things but as the company grew, building was replaced with aggravation.
That's when we decided to make a change, use our skills and try something different. We enjoy watching families and friends bond. Not to mention, vacationing people are always happier!!

Why they chose this property

The Gregory was a vision after renting a house in Galveston. The whole week I kept thinking, I could do this.

Being our first home, it was Brenda and I that built it. We dual handedly, framed, plumbed, wired, built the cabinets, tiled, painted, roofed and performed most every other aspect of building this fine home. Yes, I am a Master Electrician as well as a Builder.
We tried it, it worked so we kept working hard and grew the business into 6 homes and an event center.

Brendas brother Greg passed away just prior to building the home so we named it after him, even though he would have killed us for doing that.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy this beautiful roomy home with its many porches, gas grill and firepit. When you're ready for some more fun take the short walk (or drive to your own parking spot) to the stairway leading down to the lake. There you can swim or use the kayaks.
