Introducing The White House by HTH Stays: located on the lakefront of Bethy Creek. This 3B/2BA lakeside retreat is nestled along the serene shores of Lake Livingston; built in 1977, exudes the timeless charm of a rustic cottage with a touch of history. Once the residence of the late Mayor of Riverside, Texas, Frank Rich, this home carries with it a legacy of leadership and warmth. Meticulously remodeled, our rustic cottage seamlessly blends the authenticity of its origins with modern comforts, creating a haven that embraces the cozy ambiance and scenic views of the lake.
