Great Family Getaway

This was a perfect choice for our family (three generations) to get together at the lake. Our stay was just what we wanted, a beautiful house, plenty of room, secluded, quiet, great dock for swimming and fishing. The house is fully stocked with everything you need so you never have to leave. Brent and Rosy were great hosts. Highly recommend.

Amazing Eclipse Experience!

What a spectacular way to experience the Great North American Eclipse in April 2024! This spot was beautiful and so peaceful. The decks and outdoor amenities are perfect for taking in sunrise, the lake, the birds, thunderstorms and all that this gorgeous place has to offer. Inside was tidy, spacious and well stocked. The beds and furniture were comfortable and welcoming. Brent was an excellent host, and communication and logistics were smooth. Thank tou!

Fabulous getaway close to Dallas

Beautiful and sparkling clean - a perfect family get away! The private first level with the two captain's beds were a hit with our teen and pre-teen. The views of wildlife and the lake are amazing - we saw deer, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, cardinals almost constantly throughout our visit. The owners were extremely welcoming, and generously equipped the pantry and kitchen with all the essentials, including thoughtfully leaving snacks. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the living room/kitchen area had great views of the lake, and was perfect for family game nights. A fabulous way to spend New Year's Eve! We will be back.

Loved everything about this place. House was great - big enough for everyone with plenty of space. Pool table and games galore! Comfortable beds! Well stocked! Right on the lake with great views from almost anywhere in the house. we brought our boat and caught several fish! Mainly bass but also a catfish. The boathouse with the lift was a huge plus. Communication with the host was great! Check in and out was super easy. Would highly recommend!! -
