About this property

Newly Remodeled 4BR Lake Texoma Retreat - 5 Min to Boat Ramp on Wooded 1/2 Acre!

Relax, unwind, and enjoy all that Lake Texoma offers from the modern comfort of this newly renovated home. Nestled under a canopy of trees, this ½ acre retreat offers a spacious and breezy deck, an outdoor fire pit, a children's playhouse, and a private bonus suite. Just a short walk to the lake and community boat ramp in a charming lakeside neighborhood, this peaceful oasis was designed for groups of friends and families. Create memories to last a lifetime at "Idylwood at Lake Texoma"!

Idylwood is a 2,250-square-foot home with beautiful natural light and a lovely outdoor space. The main section of the home, plus the lower-level bonus suite (which is the 4th bedroom), can sleep up to 10 guests. Located one hour north of Dallas and just a 5-minute drive to the shores of Lake Texoma, this is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

*** Please note that the 4th bedroom bonus suite does not have indoor stairs connecting it to the main part of the house, so it would not be suitable for young children to sleep alone. You must walk outside between the bonus suite and the main house. ***

The Main House
The main section of the home has three bedrooms with three full bathrooms and can sleep up to 10 guests. The open-concept living/dining area offers plenty of seating for dining and gathering with your group. The living room has a 65-inch Smart Roku TV, which allows you to log in to your own Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and other online streaming services. Host a family game night using the variety of classic board games to add to your memorable vacation!

The well-stocked kitchen includes everything you need to create delicious meals during your stay.

Master Suite – King Bed, Twin bed, Smart Roku TV, Desk, Private Bathroom

Second Bedroom – King bed, Smart Roku TV

Third Bedroom – Twin-over-Full Bunk Bed, Twin-over-Twin Bunk Bed, Bean Bag Chairs

4th Bedroom Bonus Suite - The lower-level bonus suite has a private entrance and includes a full bathroom and can sleep up to 2 guests in the twin daybed with trundle.

There is a full-size washer and dryer available.

Outdoor Space
The outdoor space is wonderful for experiencing the sights and sounds of nature. Enjoy the breeze and listen to the birds sing while you enjoy your cup of coffee on the deck, read a book in the double hammock under the trees, or do your yoga routine on the patio with the exercise mats provided. Get some friendly competition going with a game of Ladder Toss. For dinner, use the outdoor grill to cook up your favorite meal. Afterward, gather around the fire pit for a relaxing evening.

Playhouse
The playhouse is a charming hideaway for kids to use their imagination and have fun with the toys provided. This space also has high-speed internet and a desk and can easily be used as a quiet workplace. The playhouse has an air conditioning unit but does not have a heater.

Parking
There is room for five vehicles to park in the circular driveway. There is a covered carport with a 7-foot maximum height.

Community Boat Ramp and Dock

The neighborhood boat ramp is a five-minute drive (approximately a 10-minute walk) and is available to use for a $10 daily fee. A small public dock is available for dropping in a fishing line or sitting by the water.

Walking Trails

There are several walking trails accessible directly from the house with great views of the lake. The eclectic neighborhood provides plenty of quiet, hilly roads for runners and fitness lovers out there!

Great house!
Everything was perfect for our stay - just as described, comfortable beds, and lots of room indoors and out. Just a short walk from the lake which we were able to easily do even with a bunch of 3-year-olds. The house was very well-stocked unlike some places I've stayed where the kitchen only has the bare minimum - they had everything we could need and more for cooking, extra blankets, first aid, even extra toiletries/packed tooth brushes which came in handy when we forgot one. The house was closer to the street than I expected but the street was very quiet and low traffic. We maybe only saw a couple cars go by in total all weekend. When we arrived, I also received an immediate reply to my text about check-in. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip
We really enjoyed everything about this home. The layout was great. Location was great. There was a ton of space in general, as well as sleeping space / beds. The outdoor patio was amazing! The kitchen was so well appointed and had everything you could possibly need. Extremely clean. There is a separate downstairs apt that's great (not for 'only' little ones though - separate from the main house!). Any questions we had were answered immediately. Highly recommend.

We had a family trip to catch stripers at Lake Texoma and we stayed here. It was an exceptional experience and the house and property are every bit as advertised. Stephanie was great to work with and their property was magnificent. We’d definitely go back.

Everything you need
Owner was easy to contact and work with. Property is very nice. Lots of trees on a big lot. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms for large groups. The beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with all necessary cooking and eating equipment. Neighborhood was fairly quite even on a holiday weekend. We had a great time. Thank you for the use of your home!

Clean and spacious
The property was clean and ready for our check in. We had everything we needed except the can opener didn’t work. The remodel was done very nicely and the bath and shower options for our needs completely. The TV streaming worked without interruptions. Just wish it was closer to the swimming areas on the lake. It was about a 15-20 minute drive to get to some nice swimming areas.

family vacation
Traveled the 6 hours with entire family. We have three grown children and their significant other. The property is conveniently located to multiple areas of interest. We traveled the short distance to Irving to our son’s graduation, then on to Arlington to watch a Texas Rangers ballgame. We also visited Eisenhower State Park, Denison Dam and Hey Day in Denison as well as local fishing on our own and with a guide. We enjoyed a rainy day in the house and binge-watched movies and a fire on the outdoor firepit The property accommodated the four couples nicely. The living/dining area was a nice place to gather and enjoy each other’s company while we cooked, ate, played games, and watched television. The outdoor sitting area made it a great place to begin our day with a cup of coffee. It is nicely stocked with all basics only having to run to the grocery store once for paper towels, coffee, and aloe vera lotion. The property owner quickly responded to my question on attraction information as this was our first-time visiting Lake Texoma. She provided us with arrival information prior to our arrival which helped answer my questions. She was kind enough to ask for permission for groundskeeper to come to the house while we were there.

Home just as pictured online!!
Very pleased with this stay! There were no bad surprises when we arrived. Everything is just as seen in the pics. The boat was a lil challenging to park on the property but we made it happen. Great for big families with or without kids! We were dreaming of next trips with more kids for this place. We would stay here again!

Hi! I’m Stephanie!

My husband, Stephen, and I live in Allen, Texas with our two children and Goldendoodle puppy named Benji. I have been a surgical nurse practitioner for many years and now volunteer as a primary care provider at a non-profit clinic for uninsured residents of Collin County.

We love to travel, hike, bike and spend time with our kids, friends, and large extended family. Our favorite trips together have been to South America, Italy, Ireland, Canada, and the Caribbean. We loved exploring the Pacific Northwest while we lived there.

After staying at some wonderful vacation rentals while traveling with our young kids and enjoying the extra space and unique experience it provided, we decided to give hosting a try ourselves! I have always enjoyed taking care of people and entertaining my friends and family, so hosting is a perfect fit! And I promise to use my operating room skills to make sure our property is as clean as can be!

We will do our best to make sure your stay is comfortable and memorable! Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions regarding our listing.
