NEW and lovely, very comfortable, leather loveseat.

NO SWIMMING ALLOWED: This is a stocked fishing lake. We do not permit swimming. One reason is due to the close proximity of the Trinity River. An occasional Alligator has been known to visit and make it their home.

NO BOATS CAN BE BROUGHT IN.
Outside boats are not permitted on our lake. In the past, they were allowed. However, we incurred over $100,000 in fees to clean out what outside boats brought in. We had to kill all plant life, wait a year and are still working on replacing proper plant life in the lake.

Unfortunately, our boat sank in the boat slip due to being vandalized. Sadly, it is no longer available.

SECURITY CAMERAS: This property is monitored by live video security cameras 24/7. They are there for the security of the property as well as for guest’s security. Guests are welcome to unplug the cameras while on the premises. They just need to be sure to plug them back in prior to departing. Thank you in advance for your compliance!

Caught some nice catfish

Very peaceful area. So many beautiful birds. Fishing was good and a plus was the late evening gators crossing the point. House is a work of eclectic art - you could spend a couple of hours just looking through all of it. All in all a good time.

Perfect quiet getaway

My fiancee and I took our two dogs to stay at this lake house for a few days. The property is beautiful and quiet, there was ample space for the dogs to run and we enjoyed lounging around on the floating deck and by the fire in the outdoor chiminea. I highly recommend this place if you're looking to just get away and recharge, and if you wake up early enough to watch the sun rise over the water, you won't be disappointed.

Peaceful

My daughter and I stayed here to find some peace and relaxation. We enjoyed that it is away from town, but close enough if we needed anything.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this cute little house, and it was an absolute gem of a getaway. The coziness of the space was perfect, and it immediately felt like a home away from home. We settled right in, and every corner of the house seemed to be thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional hospitality of our host. She was not only kind but also incredibly attentive throughout our stay. Before our trip, she had informed us about the lower lake levels due to the drought, even offering us the option to cancel our reservation. We decided to proceed with our plans because the house itself was so lovely, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the lake, despite its lower water levels, remained just as beautiful and serene as we expected. I would wholeheartedly recommend this charming lakefront chalet to anyone in search of a simple, tranquil getaway. Our experience was nothing short of fantastic, and we give it a solid 10/10!

Charming cabin on the lake.

We had a great stay at your charming cabin on the lake. Sitting on the front porch was very peaceful, I loved the group of ducks that came flying in the morning and evening.

About the host

Hosted by Patricia Vackar

My late husband and I fell in love with the area while visiting friends who owned weekend houses there and, in 1980, we had the shell of the house built. With the help of wonderful friends, we worked weekends building out the interior. The project took about a year to complete and I have so many great memories of those times. The chalet became our escape from the hectic weekly pace in Houston. We put heart and soul into building out the chalet! When my husband passed away in 1993, the only way I could rationalize keeping the property was to rent it out to vacationers. I've had the good fortune of meeting so many wonderful people who have rented from me since that time and look forward to being blessed with many more!

Why they chose this property

Why this property?
BECAUSE it provides THE most peaceful and relaxing get-away anyone would want!
BECAUSE the grounds and property are very well maintained and the house is kept sparkling clean! The house has had new Laminate flooring installed, was freshly painted, and furniture updated in Living room and Dining areas in 2014.
BECAUSE we provide everything but your clothes, your food and libations! No need to pack up a bunch of essentials, linens and towels because they will be waiting right there for your arrival!
BECAUSE we are so thankful for our renters and want to ensure their stay is the most wonderful experience possible!
BECAUSE our prices are very reasonable for everything we provide!
SO, pack your suitcase, bring your family, even the four-legged members and prepare to ENJOY!

What makes this property unique

Serenity Now!!!! ;) feel the stress of every day life and all your cares drift away immediately just driving down the winding road to the property. Taking in God's incredible creation of nature all around is icing on the cake while cooking in the delightful little kitchen with its great view of the lake, or fishing, lounging around, reading, playing games, sitting in the swing, observing nature, taking a stroll, completely relaxing in the quiet beauty of the atmosphere of Taylor Lake! When I arrive, I never want to leave!
