Fabulous property in a wonderful location !
Our second visit to this property; we'll no doubt return again. Lucinda is a wonderful host; great communication; very hospitable. The house is superb. The grounds are expansive and private. The inslet to the lake is secluded and very quiet. Proximity to shops is great. The lake is lovely. The sunsets are amazing! Recommended .... absolutely!

Family Getaway
From arrival to departure we enjoyed every detail of our stay. The beds were comfortable for a great night of rest. There is plenty of space to spread out on the property and enjoy the sunshine. We kayaked, used the paddle board, played yard games, grilled out, sunbathed, played cards checkers scrabble and made great memories. Lucinda was incredible to give space and still stayed in touch for any needs. We would recommend this property for sure! The fireworks and air show over the lake area were a great Fourth of July bonus too.

Wonderful Property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We were only there for a weekend to see and photograph wildflowers in nearby Ennis, but the house and property were perfect for our family. The property is as described, but even nicer than the pictures suggest. The owner was very communicative and responsive to questions and needs. When I inquired if there was an electric kettle in the house, she initially responded that there was not, but when we arrived there was a brand-new electric kettle there for us. Also, on the road there I realized I had forgotten to bring s'more supplies but were happy to find s'more supplies waiting for us there along with fresh baked cookies! We definitely plan to return when we have more time to enjoy the lake.

Secluded lake property with the extras of a resort
Spent a fantastic weekend with our sons. So thoughtfully appointed with coffee pods, tin foil, shampoo and books of all types. Games, horse shoes, corn hole, blackberries ready to be picked, vegetables in the garden, canoes, kayaks. This property is well-designed and landscaped yet still very natural. Would rent again. The owner, Lucinda, responded very quickly to our questions, which is so helpful when renting.

Best spot on the lake!
Lucinda was an amazing host again, making sure we had everything we needed for a fun weekend with the kids. The Ranch House and Hideaway are so comfortable, we cant wait to go back. Plenty of games both inside and outside kept us all busy. The improvements on the property along the shoreline are so well done; easy access to the water for kayaking, paddle boarding or just floating. This is the best cabin on the lake!

Amazing views and amenities!!!
We had an amazing time and enjoyed all the views and amenities this home offered. It literally has everything. My wife sampled some Cauliflower from the fresh garden and we enjoyed the kayaks and yard games and grilled every night. The home is full of adventure and games for young children along with the beautiful yard to get lost in. Thank you very much for our stay we will be back.

Beautiful well detailed home
My family and I truly enjoyed our stay. The property owners has this home well stalked with bug spray, sun block games and water items. My kids truly enjoyed their stay! My son became a master checkers player in a week and my daughter enjoyed swimming all day in the lake. We truly enjoyed every minute of our stay.

This is such a beautiful property. We had a wonderful time and would love to return. This is perhaps the most well appointed and comfortable home rental I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at. The hosts truly thought of every detail and the outdoor grilling and hanging out situation is definitely top notch. All the furnishings are beautiful and the beds are very comfortable.

Beautiful, Well-Appointed, and Cozy!
Everywhere you look is another beautiful sight! We have stayed in many VRBOs, but none have had as many details attended to throughout the home and grounds to ensure a wonderful experience as this one. Excellent communication with owner as well. This is a treasure just an hour or so from DFW - a perfect tranquil escape with lots of possibilities for fun included! We kayaked, fished, cooked out and in, enjoyed a bonfire and complimentary s’mores, played croquet, horseshoes, checkers, relaxed in several gorgeous seating areas, and loved every minute!

Perfect Labor Day Weekend!!
It was a wonderful weekend! We were greeted with cookies and music, but it just got better from there! The house is beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you could need. We had the Roadhouse and the Hideaway which gave our group of 11 plenty of room for privacy when needed, but lots of room for gathering together for meals, board games, and conversation, as well. Comfy beds, nice linens and a fully stocked kitchen! There is so much to do here, we never had to leave. Tons of games and puzzles for indoors and so many outdoor games, we didn’t have time to play them all! The sunsets in the evening were magical and we loved sitting around the fire at night! We were struck by how quiet and peaceful it is here. You’d never know the hustle and bustle of the city is just one hour away. What a wonderful retreat! We are talking of making this an annual event!
