About this property

Quiet neighborhood with a beautiful lake view. Brand new dock.

Please do not park vehicles in the grass.
2,600 square feet of living space. 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, plus 2 living areas. Comfortably sleeps 6 adults plus a bunkbed and pullout sofa. We are located just a short 60 mile drive from Dallas and from Tyler. Eighty miles from Waco.

The breathtaking waterside lake views make this home a perfect place to leave everything behind and take in the lake life. With two porches, a large backyard, and there are more than enough places for you to relax and enjoy the tranquility of living on a lake.

This spacious 2-story home boasts two full living areas and the kitchen is a home cook's dream. The home is large enough for two families but is intimate enough for just a single family or couple. One of the most amazing and unique features of this home is the huge pecan tree growing through the eaves on the second story. Hence, THE TREEHOUSE ON THE LAKE.

The home is located in a quiet protected cove on the lake.

If you are interested in spending time out of doors, there are two back porches on this house....one on the second floor and one on the first. On the first floor porch we have two dining areas where you can enjoy a meal or your morning coffee.

It's more than likely you will catch glimpses of blue herons, egrets, and other wading birds in addition to cardinals, blue jays, and hummingbirds. If you are lucky, you may even spy one of the resident bald eagles known to soar in the area.

The backyard is huge and equipped with a fire pit for those after dinner s'mores or to warm yourself on a cool evening. Plus, the stargazing is unreal.

The owners are Stacie and Craig, and this is the only property we manage so we are able to offer family friendly service while responding promptly to any inquiries you may have. We live in the DFW area and understand the need to get away and take a break in a safe, serene setting with family and friends. We consider this home a dream house and would love to share it with you.

We booked the Tool Lake/Tree House VRBO because we were to be attending a wedding in Mabank.

The home is beautiful. We even saw one of the Bald Eagles and loads of ducks and some squirrels. It was extremely peaceful. We truly enjoyed our stay. We would highly recommend it to future travelers.

Why they chose this property

The house is located on a quiet street with many local full time residents. Please respect their privacy and there’s no late night outdoor music. Absolutely no fireworks on the property. Please do not get into the landscaped areas. This is lake property so we do have wildlife and snakes so please be cautious.
