• Great place!

  5/5

  We were here in business for work so me and my crew needed a VRBO! This place was nice and clean and the towels were so soft and the beds so comfortable!

• Perfect Lake Escape

  5/5

  Upon arrival the the tall piney woods and lake draw you in like the perfect lakeside movie you watched as a kid. The House welcomes you in like your own home and you adjust within seconds. The home had everything we needed, was exceptionally clean and had a wonderful view with deer roaming just across the lake. We were are excited to fish, sit by the fire and hold a marshmallow over the flame getting it just right to build the perfect smore. . The owners are attentive and check on your stay. I would highly recommended this beautiful VRBO to friends and family. Perfect for a fishing and awesome weekend this summer! You won’t be disappointed!

• Loving the Lake Life!

  5/5

  This is a terrific home that is so comfortable and beautiful! The directions were perfect-- just an easy 80 minute drive from the heart of Dallas. Upon arrival, we were able to park our car in the clean garage, which is nice. We had one cloudy day, but it didn't matter, we just lounged on the comfortable furniture and enjoyed the spectacular view from the huge living room window. We used every inch of the well appointed home, inside and out- had drinks on the sizable covered patio and watched the sun set from the fire pit! The owner was so so kind and hospitable-- quickly answering questions in advance and left us a very generous and delicious welcome gift in the fridge to get the party started! The kitchen had every thing we needed-- high quality pottery, great barware, serving trays, storage bowls, etc. We will be back again and have already recommended this property to others.

• Wonderful getaway spot!

  5/5

  This was the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend with friends. Already thinking about going back. Perfectly appointed with all the comforts of home, and some we only dream of. Loved the ease of cooking on a gas grill, eating on the back porch with the sunset view over the lake. Firepit made a great place for happy hour.

• Quiet Oasis

  5/5

  This property far exceeded my expectations! We stayed here as a weekend getaway with my family of 4 and another family of 4! We each had two kids under the age of 6! When you first drive up you notice the expansive front driveway, complete with a tree swing for the kids. As we unloaded the car, the kids rode their bikes up and down the driveway and explored the front yard!We unloaded and found two refrigerators, which were perfect for overflow for our crew with all the food and beverages we brought. We were first greeted by the beautifully renovated, open concept main living area with nice cozy living set, plenty of pantry space, and a perfectly placed dining area to have the adults sit and talk while the kiddos played in the front living area or watched TV on the massive 75 inch screen! Great sound system too. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful serene patio views of the calm cove, in addition to a lovely fire pit! We ran out and had to grab some supplies for SMORES! We also discovered some lake toys- Lily pad, paddle boards, etc., in the garage which will be an awesome bonus when we come back for our summer vacation! Also plenty of room to park one car in the garage.The kitchen was well stocked with all the amenities, double ovens and a gas stove for when we cooked our big meal! There were four new white bar stools instead of the two in the pictures which came in very handy. Also grilled steaks and hotdogs one night on the Weber Genesis grill which my husband loved. The covered patio is great for grilling or dining especially in rainy weather.We had plenty of towels and complementary toiletries for everyone. The bathrooms were updated and immaculate!!The Sheets and bedding were clean and cozy and way nicer than the typically rentals we have stayed in! There is a large new Samsung TV in the master which was not in the pictures, very nice. We did had some trouble finding the cushions for the upper deck chairs and had to call the house manager. They responded immediately and helped us find them. The view of the cove from the upper deck is amazing! We will be bringing our boat and jet ski next time when come back this summer!! The dock even has mooring whips in case you have guests come by on the water! I do not normally write this detailed of a review for our VRBO stays but this is a truly wonderful house that felt more like home. Highly recommend!
