Perfect getaway!

What a perfect little paradise! The cottage has been so thoughtfully planned out with the comfort and relaxation of the guests being the top priority. Came out for a quick girls paddle boarding trip with the dog and couldn’t have asked for a better location! So quiet and calm, we are already looking at dates to return as soon as possible!

Tranquil stay

The cottage was amazing! It was clean, well appointed, and everything was functional. Sadly, we were only there for two nights to visit family, but it was a lovely location. The Christmas decorations on the property were charming. If I ever have to go back to the area, I will stay again.

Peaceful, fun, and lovely!

I cannot recommend this stay enough for those looking for a calm yet fun summer getaway! My number one priority for this trip was to have lake access for swimming and other water activities and it was perfect! The space is very nice and has everything you need. We found ourselves staying in and having movie nights with home cooked meals every night. It's just the perfect little getaway from the normal hustle and bustle and I cannot wait to visit again!

Great Little Lake House

They have everything you need to enjoy the lake! Loved having all the kayaks, paddle-boards, etc., & life jackets. Fire pit at the lake was really nice and relaxing! Only a few minor complaints like the dryer not automatically shutting off (couldn’t let it run unless we were there to monitor) and had to buy shampoo and conditioner…other than that, it was super peaceful and we would go back!

Family friendly lakeshore cottage

Wow….i way underestimated how amazing this beautiful place would be until I got there. The owners are so kind and thoughtful . The cottage has such wonderful nice touches and was so comfortable and clean. The setup with the kayaks , canoes snd life jackets was such a cool option to partake in along with the cornhole setup . Of course we took advantage of the fire pit and make some smores. We will be coming back again and again 💯. It was just too amazing you will not be disappointed; thank you so much for the wonderful time !

Great Experience

My wife and I have stayed at many places on many different lakes this was our first time on Lake Lewisville it was definitely one of the bests places we have booked. My wife loved the cottage it was super clean and had everything we needed for cooking and comfort and loved the lights also lake view was gorgeous. If you love to fish I'm going to give a shout out to Ken he gave me a ride down to the boat ramp to get my truck and allowed me to dock my boat on the lake which makes a 4 days of fishing trip so much easier. Great host ,Great experience, Thanks
