Comfortable Stay in Flowermound

My friends and I enjoyed the house. It had everything we needed for our getaway weekend. Beds were comfortable, lots of areas to gather and great outdoor space. Location is great since it is a bit secluded right on the lake.

We were a family of six visiting the area, interested in a scenic place to stay, with access to boating and swimming, and not too far from activities in the DFW area. This home was perfect for us. It's nicely decorated, clean, and laid out well with plenty of space for sleeping, socializing, cooking, eating, and all you could want. Even better is the location: my daughter wanted to be "in the woods" and she thought this was great; but at the same time, Flower Mound's main commercial areas are only 15 minutes away. Our host was very responsive and friendly. We would stay here again, and we recommend it highly!

The only bad thing about this property was the weather! However, the rain forced us to be inside and enjoy the many areas of congregating as a family from the kitchen to the dining room, screened porch, living room, and gaming table. There are basically two masters (one up the spiral stairs and one downstairs) and plenty of beds for a large gathering. There are just two bathrooms total, however, just to be aware if you have a large group. We would very much stay here again if the need arose. The area of Flower Mound offers a great many options for restaurants, nights out, and things to do. And last but not least, if I only had a boat... : )

Fabulous large lake home with everything you need!

The hosts were gracious and so easy to communicate with. The spacious house is in wonderful condition, all of the amenities you want/need, beautiful view and surrounding property, right down to the perfect large oak out back with a tree swing! A getaway, but still so close to anything you want to do in nearby Flower Mound, Grapevine, etc... Would highly recommend and will return if need a central Texas getaway again, or a place for friends and family to gather!

Nice little getaway with great access to the lake and quiet neighborhood. A few items were out (soap and iron) and the property manager swiftly replaced them). Very well stocked with the day to day needs and very responsive host.

Worth the drive

My wife and I flew to Texas from Florida for our niece's wedding in McKinney. We decide to book Refuge at the Lake in Flower Mound even though it was an hour away from the wedding venue. We are very glad we did. The house was uniquely beautiful and had everything we needed- a hot tub, a gas fire pit, two large bedrooms with beautiful views of Lake Grapevine, a bedroom with a loft and four full size beds, abundant tables, chairs and couches and much more. However, what made this place worth the drive was the property itself. There are a number of nature trails right off the property that skirt the lake and loop around into the woods. During our wanderings we saw an owl and four large tom turkeys. We also saw a large herd of deer while relaxing on the porch and the trees on the property are a haven for a large number of smaller birds. This property is definitely what it claims to be- a "Refuge".

Great Girl's Bday Trip

We had a great trip, our stay was fabulous. I had no complaints. It was no need to contact the host at all during our stay. I did contact her prior to our stay and she was very prompt. House looks just like the photos. The kitchen had everything you could think of. Beds comfortable and ample space throughout the entire property. It was 8 of us and no issues with sharing 2 bathrooms. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.

Texas girls trip

We really enjoyed our stay- the outdoor space is perfect for morning coffee and meals and we enjoyed watching the deer wander by each day. The house had everything we needed. Location is a bit off the beaten path but grocery stores, etc are just a few miles away. We also visited the alpaca farm down the road which was super fun!

Bachelorette weekend!

This was the PERFECT place to host our friends for a bachelorette weekend! There was so much space for all of us, we loved spending time outside and we really couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Stephanne was super responsive before, during and even after our stay when someone realized they left some shoes behind. I think some of the girls booked for other times while we were there too! Thank you so much for the hospitality!

Great Location and Accommodations

The house has great potential to be a five star. The accommodations, floor plan, and location is fabulous. It is close to Twin Cove Lake and restaurants. The decor was modern and simple which was perfect for our girl's weekend. I would suggest that details are given to cleaning all areas of the home. It was too hot for us to use the screen-in porch, but it was very dirty with cob webs and gnats. It didn't look like the rest of the home. The door frames to enter the home needed cleaning as well. I would suggest investing in more wash cloths. I think we only had a total of four. There were plenty of bath towels and beach towels which was nice for our trip to the lake. I would also suggest lining the kitchen drawers and removing rusted pans etc. Lastly, the house was stuffy. I had to add plug-ins and burn candles upon the arrival of the others. I feel this is something the housekeepers should be aware of. The house didn't remain stuffy for our stay. As there wasn't anything going on with the vents. The beds were very comfortable and the furniture was in great condition. The wooden staircase is beautiful, which adds to the aesthetics of the home. We loved the location of the home. Waking up to a pack of roaming deer and wild turkeys was awesome! There's plenty of patio furniture as well. There are so many fabulous qualities about the home which makes for a great stay.
