About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Not a Resort. Not a Rental. Something Better…

You’ve been meaning to slow down. Reconnect. Get the family in the same place — without the screens, the schedules, the stress.

But somehow every trip ends up being more work than rest.

The rental looks great in photos… until it’s not.
The kids are bored. The adults are overwhelmed. You spend more time navigating logistics than making memories.

That’s why we built Jerob’s Place.
Five acres of private joy — recently renovated and upgraded with families in mind:
– A swim spa and pool just for your crew
– A movie room with Love Sacs and surround sound
– A scavenger hunt that leads to a real hidden room
– King’s Fortress playground with soft AstroTurf for wild, barefoot fun
– A zero-gravity massage chair when it’s your turn to recharge

At night, circle up at the custom-lit firepit.
Tell ghost stories. Share old memories.
Or just let the kids load up s’mores while the stars come out.
Every detail — from the sidewalks to the toy closets to the Curious George room — was reimagined to create ease, delight, and connection.
Yes, even your pets are welcome.

Spots fill fast, especially for reunions and holidays.
Reserve your stay now — and give your people a trip they’ll talk about for years.

Jerob's Place hosted by Comfy Spots Vacation Rentals.
Pets are allowed to come with you on your get-away. The pet fee is $100 per pet.

Wonderful Inside and Out

We had a group of 16 co workers and we all had a comfortable space without feeling like we were on top of each other. Lisa was easy to contact and quick to reply. There were even 2-3 "extra" fun things that helped make staying at the house a fun experience. We didn't have any kids, but it would be so fun for families!!

Jameson Family Christmas

Our group of 18 loved everything about our stay. With ages ranging from 2 to 78, it's hard to find any location that has interests for all, but this one did. There was room for each group to take part in the activity of their choice without being on top of others and their interests. The kids especially loved the stay - they were busy from the time they opened their eyes until they closed them at night. They're already asking to do it again next Christmas!! Highly recommend to groups of all sizes/ages.

Great Vacation

Our family absolutely loved our experience at this house! The owners have gone well out of their way to have things to do while staying. Our 13 year old niece LOVED the scavenger hunt!!!!Our 4 year old niece LOVED the toys and things for her to play/play on. And was totally into the dress-up closet!We all LOVED the amount of room we had. And we’re thankful there was a Christmas tree up for Christmas Really, the only way to improve would be maybe make sure all the light bulbs are working and make sure all the pots and pans are induction stove compatible.We've discussed coming back here in the summer!

Wonderful getaway

The house was more than large enough for the 16 of us. The pool was wonderful and we used it everyday. The kitchen was big enough for some us to cook and others to sit and talk while we were cooking. The kids and teens loved the movie room. We played lots of games at the large dining room table.

Beautiful property with lots to do

This house is both gorgeous and comfortable. Kitchen is great for cooking and there are plenty of areas to relax. Pool and pool house are very nice. Everything from lights to ceiling fans and tvs are all controlled with multiple remotes, so be prepared to spend some time figuring everything out and not all of it has good instructions. Check the temps of the pool or swim spa upon arrival and adjust them so they have time to warm up.

We had a mother/daughter trip for a group of 17. Plenty of room for everyone. The girls enjoyed all the home had to offer and the moms had all the necessary amenities. It was a perfect fit for our group. Gigi was very accommodating and an absolute dream.

Everything you need

This home is awesome! We had 15 adult ladies staying in the home and we had everything we needed and extras. There was enough space for everyone. There were board games, arcade games and a cute scavenger hunt game waiting for us. You will not be disappointed. We would totally book this place again.

Jerob's Place was a Dream House

The house has everything you could dream of for a family reunion AND MORE! From the beautiful pool, custom playground, theater room, trampoline, costume closet, arcade games, well stocked library, hidden rooms, and even a fun little treasure hunt upon arrival. Jeff and Lisa were exceptional to work with and made sure we had a fantastic time. We can't wait to come back again! We would DEFINITELY recommend Jerob's Place. 5 stars.

A great home for family gatherings

We had a multi-generational get together at this home. Kids and adults had a great time. The check in was at 4pm. We got there at 5:30 and cleaning crew was still on premises which was a bit disconcerting seeing multiple cars parked in the driveway, but they were finished and very helpful. Communication with owner was easy and responsive. We had a great stay and highly recommend this house if you want a great place to just hang out together and relax.

We had a group of 5 families that consisted of 11 children. There was so much for them to do the whole time. We loved the pool and playground the most. The kids enjoyed the scavenger hunt to find the hidden treasure. Jeff and Lisa were very available and would answer any questions we had. The kitchen had everything you can think of. We are ready to plan another stay.

Property was beautiful.. we had a lot of fun exploring and enjoying ourselves.. Biggest hit was the massage chair!! Few thing could use attention hot tub never got that hot and the grill is on its last leg (literally). House had everything we needed, but it does either have ghosts or some electrical issues.. lights kept flickering.. other than that everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.. would totally do it again!!

Great house for a family gathering!

There are so many things to do on the property for a family of all ages. We had our 6 grandchildren there ranging from 7 years old to infant along with the adults. They had so much fun with all the toys and books and fun playground. The adults were afforded some quiet time while the kids all watched movies in the movie room (which is a great space)! The rooms were very nice and the kids loved the bunk rooms and toddler room. It was very helpful that there were baby gates provided too. The kitchen is spacious and worked well for our family meals and the tables accommodated all of us. It was a nice get away. Communication was very quick and easy with Lisa and Jeff. If you’re headed to that area, we highly recommend staying at Jerob’s Place.

New Year's Family Reunion

You can't ask for a better family oriented property from the movie room, to the games available, to the play castle and the pool. This property has it all for all ages. But the best part is the property owners who stayed in communication with us throughout the process answering all our questions. And when an issue came up with the previous occupants that would impact our stay, Jeff immediately called us with options to manage the issue. Everything worked out fine. We highly recommend this property with it's easy access to East Texas activities , amazing hosts and fabulous family fun on property. Thanks Jeff and Lisa
