The house is so fun. I am unable to be in the sun so the crappie house was excellent. The host is so wonderful to work with. My husband and family caught a ton on fish. We were talking about coming back to the property in the future while fishing.

Our house is being remodeled and we needed a place to stay for a couple of days with our two Great Danes. This was the perfect place for a peaceful getaway! My husband fished, our dogs had room to roam, the house was clean and comfortable and I enjoyed the stars at night. Highly recommend. We didn’t even utilize all that the upstairs had to offer. Check in was a breeze and the host was so sweet to reach out and make sure all was wonderful. 5 stars all the way around!

Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! We are so glad the Crappie House provided a comfortable, peaceful sanctuary during your home remodel. It’s great to hear your husband got some fishing time in, the dogs had space to run, and you were able to relax under the stars. You are welcome back anytime to explore the upstairs!

This property definitely has an amazing lake vibe to it. The owner is great at communication, generous with her time to do so and has answers to all the questions about the area. Check in and out was quick and easy with no issues at all. The beds are very comfortable as are the pillows! So much space for our big Greater Swiss Mountain Dog and a covered dock to sit and play cards at as well as an enclosed dock with two kayaks and life jackets included. My mom absolutely loved the place and the architecture of the house.Son caught a good sized catfish while we were there and fun was had by all. We will definitely come back for all these reasons as well as the very reasonable pricing.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled that your family (and your gorgeous Greater Swiss Mountain Dog!) had such a great time at The Crappie House. It sounds like your son's catfish catch and those card games on the covered dock made for some perfect lake memories. We love helping our guests get the most out of the Palo Pinto area, and it's wonderful to hear your mom enjoyed the house's architecture too. You all were fantastic guests, and we would love to welcome you back anytime!

We had the most wonderful stay. The property was absolutely perfect for our family. The fishing was fantastic, and we spent hours kayaking with the grandchildren, memories we will treasure. The house itself is so unique and cozy, with thoughtful touches everywhere. It felt welcoming from the moment we arrived. Everyone we interacted with was kind and helpful, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back.
