About this property

Reel Life Rentals - The Crappie House Getaway- Mins from Palo Pinto Mts State Pk


Welcome to The Crappie House! Locally loved for its awesome crappie fishing, this cozy lakefront home sits right on the water at the quiet north end of beautiful Lake Palo Pinto.

You’ll be just steps from the lake — or walk right onto your private dock and boathouse, where you can cast a line, relax with a drink, or launch one of the two kayaks provided. This spot is known for some of the best deep-water crappie fishing on the lake, tucked into a peaceful, protected no-wake cove that’s perfect for paddling or floating the day away.

⚠️ Heads up: Please don’t dive off the dock — there could be stumps underwater!

🏡 The Space
• 2 Private Bedrooms
• Downstairs: Queen bedroom + full bath
• Upstairs: Queen bedroom + full bath
• Upstairs alcove: Twin bed (walk-through to second bedroom)

Plenty of room to spread out inside, and outside you’ve got a half-acre lot with tons of parking space. There’s also a security camera at the entrance for peace of mind.

And the sunsets? Absolutely gorgeous. Kick back with a cold drink on the dock and take in those classic lake views — it’s the perfect way to end the day.

🌿 A Note About the House

Because some of the wood used in the foundation and trim was treated with creosote, there’s a slight creosote smell inside. It’s not strong, but out of caution, we don’t recommend the home for guests with asthma or respiratory sensitivities.

To keep the air fresh and clean, we’ve added:
• HEPA-rated filters on the A/C
• A NuWave Smart Air Purifier with a top-of-the-line 5-filter system that removes pet dander, odors, fumes, mold, bacteria, and viruses.

You can breathe easy knowing we’ve got great air quality covered.

📍 Location
