Beautiful Location and even better host

I can't say enough nice things about this location or the host. Staci was extremely nice and readily available through out our stay. We stayed during our sons travel baseball tournament and she graciously allowed the coaches to come and relax with us in the evenings. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Davis Wedding Weekend

The Heath family went above and beyond to insure we had an amazing stay for our wedding weekend! The property was the perfect setting for our intimate wedding. We were greeted by a wedding gift bag, a pristine house, freshly landscaped flower beds, and mowed grass. All of this coupled with a stunning house and view of the lake made for a perfect weekend! Our wedding had a total of 23 people, and the house was able to accommodate our group perfectly. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to have our wedding at such a beautiful house/property.

Perfect Retreat Setting!

This property truly is a place to get away. I did not hear a car for two days. Very peaceful and very accommodating. The comforts of a nice resort set in the woods. We enjoyed the fishing, sitting on the back porch and the sights and sounds of nature! The hosts were very easy to communicate with and added the perfect touch of hospitality! I would highly recommend this property for your next get away!

Perfect Serenity

I was looking for an overnight get-away for a girlfriend group/birthday that was not too much of a drive from Big D. This Zen gem was the second property that came up in my search. I looked no further. As amazing as it looks and sounds online, it’s is so much more in person. It is an elegant, comfortable, well-appointed home perfectly positioned within a scenic natural reserve landscape. There is a coy pond and a hen house. We saw geese skimming the lake’s surface, turtles sunning on logs and fish breaching. It is a secluded, peaceful, wooded sanctuary. The front lawn gracefully spreads down to the private lake backdropped by a curtain of trees. The back lawn stretches out to the wood line where a 1 mile trail winds through the woods ending at the lakes edge. And although wooded, there are cleared spaces within the lawn where one could imagine family activities like touch football, volleyball, croquet or an Easter egg hunt. The dogwoods were just beginning to bloom at our visit but this landscape would be captivating in all seasons. The owners, Staci and Keith were gracious and accommodating. Their dog, Doc was a friendly, well mannered outdoor companion.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin and Staci Heath

We recently became empty nesters after raising four wonderful kids. We split our time between this wonderful property and our other home in Colorado.

Why they chose this property

Several years ago, we were scheduled to view this 50 acre property because we wanted to get out of the city. Ironically, we watched the movie "The Notebook" the night before we viewed it. When we arrived to this beautiful home with blue shutters and the view of the lake, we knew it was meant to be! We even created a "painting room" upstairs, where you can paint on the balcony with a beautiful view.
