Just east of Dallas TX lies the Golden Triangle… out east to Sulphur Springs, down south to Canton, then back to Dallas … an area of unsurpassed beauty with woods and lakes. Centered around Lake Fork, come to fish, hunt or simply explore the many quaint and unique towns that make up this great area.
One such estate at Lake Fork is this stunning luxury house setting over 8 acres of wooded land with private protected bay, seasonal beach and over 800 feet of private shoreline.
Bring your boat and enjoy this exclusive lakeside location for fishing. The house is centrally located on the lake and make it very easy to run to any fishing point. There is a private boat ramp within the property making it easy to get on the water. You could park your boat at the dock, charge your boat and not have to fight the lines at public ramps. There are plenty space for up to four boats. Since it is located at a calm protected finger, you could also beach the boat instead.
Don’t forget to bring your fishing poles. As one of the country's premier trophy bass lakes, 65% of the Texas Top 50 largest bass (including the current state record) were caught from this lake. There is a “green monster” submerged fish light near boat house attracting fishes. We have caught trophy largemouth bass, strip bass, gar, crappie, trout, catfish, sunfish, and much more in the cove and around the dock/pier.
Making your way inside this grand home, you will be greeted with high ceilings, beautiful tile floors, soft comfortable hardwood furnishings, and custom windows that capture the surrounding beauty of this expansive estate.
Upstairs is the master bedroom with king bed, private on-suite bathroom, walk-in closets, and balcony overlooking the acreages. Downstairs has one guess bedroom with queen size bad and one study/bedroom with bunk beds, open kitchen with dining area, and the bright sun-filled living room with sofa that surround the warm, inviting fireplace and large 58” smart TV - the perfect place for a family evening or a romantic night.
At night, watch stars on the dock, firework on the shore, fish on the pier, or just sit around the fire pit for S’mores.
Guests have private access to the entire property (excluding the boat, boat lift, garage, and cabin), as well as boat dock, free high speed Wi-Fi, and a laundry with a washing machine and dryer.

Usually, the water is much higher, almost to the deck level around this time of the year. However, we didn't have much rain for the past winter and this spring,.. fortunately, we have deep water here, so the ramp and boat dock are still usable.
Yes, this house is at the center location of lake Fork so it is easily to go anywhere you want to fish and very convenient to attend all the fishing tournaments.
Lake Fork was a Bucket List Trip that we started planning in Nov 2025. The pictures of the house don’t do it justice. Absolutely spectacular property, especially for a fisherman. Has its own boat ramp, plenty of space, everything is lovely. It is exactly what I would have if I owned a property on that lake.Thank You for the opportunity to stay in your lovely home
First time staying here. The property is awesome and lake access is good as well. It rained most of our trip, so we didn't get to experience all it has to offer. Hopefully we can return another time when the weather is more cooperative. The host was very hospitable and even offered a late check-out due to the terrible weather.
This property delivered. Great communication with property manager and an awesome stay. Private boat ramp was super convenient. We will definately stay here again. Thank you for the great stay.
Good Location and Facilities for Fishing Enthusiasts
Great location on Lake Fork with very nice pier and boat ramp. The house was great and host was very responsive and helpful. This was our first time to use VRBO and will do it again based on this experience.
