I think property looked much nicer in the picture. There were no water near the property due to drought - which is understandable. We felt like it is little dated. There were cracks on the wall and some shifting - primary bedroom bathroom door did not close.It is still a nice property right on the lake, close to DFW.

We enjoyed ourselves very much and the communication between ourselves and the owner was outstanding. In my opinion, the only blemish about this property is if the lake is 3 feet or more down, there isn’t any water in front of the property. However, this is a great property if you just want to relax or have a home base for the area.

Great stay with beautiful views!! The back porch and backyard were so wonderful to spend time in during all hours of the day! From sunrise to sunset, there was so much to see, boaters, jet skis and nature! We were able to bring our puppy last minute which was a huge blessing. The kitchen was great to cook in and even had lots of spices on hand which was a wonderful addition! Would definitely recommend this home for a great family stay!
