Thank you! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the peace at The Love Shack!
The Host was great . The only thing , I had to clean burnt black stuff out of electrical oven to be able to bake a cake. I have pictures. Everything else was great
The hot tub worked good I think the temp needs to be recalibrated but it worked fine. It was very clean and peaceful. House was exactly as show in pictures. Would definitely recommend!!!
Great place very clean Hot tub and a complimentary bottle of Champagne were a great touch !!! Don't hesitate to book wont be disappointed !!!!

Beautiful relaxing property
Such a great stay. We went to Bullard to take our final paramedic exams and we all passed! The hot tub was the perfect celebration. Thank you for the lovely stay!
I went for a weekend getaway to do some healing. It was a beautiful place and was pet friendly. It was just my French bulldog and I and we had a great time. I do plan on going back again sometime.

best anniversary
clean, very nice stay, we laughed at each other after we finally figured out how to turn the tv down.
We loved this little lakeside getaway. It is a fantastic space with great waterfront access, including a great fishing dock. The hot tub was wonderful and the covered outdoor patio was a great place to unwind and enjoy the view of the lake! We loved the greeter "Blue" who helped make sure we were enjoying our stay!! The only downside was that the mattress was not comfortable but otherwise the space was just what we needed for a weekend to unwind.
A weekend getaway for my husband and I celebrating anniversary. We had everything we needed, neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Great watching the sun set over the lake! And our dog was able to hang out with us!
I wanted to title this review WARNING: DO NOT STAY HERE...because you will never want to leave, but thought better of it. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We made fiends with Blue and lazed around after exploring Tyler and Palestine. The only draw back was that the bathroom is very small and took some time to get used to navigating it.
Directly on the lake, most thoughtful accommodations, easy to contact owners if needed. 12/10 we will be back.

Restful Refuge
We so enjoyed our anniversary getaway at the Love Shack! Loved being at the peaceful lake, even off season, with the amazing sunsets, while we enjoyed our grilled salmon around the romantic firepit. The stars shined so bright in the night sky over the lake! Loved being in God's creation together with my beloved and can't wait to return to this restful refuge!
