PARKING
- Driveway (4-5 vehicles)
- RV/trailer parking allowed on-site
- Boats welcome...one request is to use caution and go very slowly when bringing boat thru the front gate...the driveway is at a slight angle to the street and the double-gate is @13 feet wide. I take my pontoon in/out but I always have a person help guide me in so I don't snag the boat or damage the fence. The gate area is well lit too. We had 3 trucks with fishing boats side-by-side recently....plenty of parking space...just be careful at the gate...thx! Bill

They did a a great job with this lake house! Everything we could possibly need or forgot to bring with this was completely stocked for our use, and the property was very clean with everything sorted. The view of the lake was incredible and we even caught a catfish to cook and enjoy. One of the best lake houses I have stayed at to date!

We loved our stay. The house is perfect. The host is helpful and kind. He went out of the way to make us comfortable. We love Shelby ( the dog). She is the sweetest. We are definitely coming back in the summer! The beds are comfortable and the house is clean. However, the house has a casual feel. We weren’t afraid to allow the kids to play.

Family Trip

Booked this place for our yearly family getaway from home! Amazing place to stay! The lake is not far from back door, grocery stores right down the street! Our experience here was wonderful! Owners are a text/phone call away for any questions or concerns. Will definitely book here again and recommend family and friends to book here as well!

About the host

Hosted by Bill Strong

Host profile image

Bill & Mary Strong (and Shelby) discovered Lake Bonham many years ago. What an easy drive up 121 from D/FW to arrive at a peaceful, undiscovered 1K acre lake. Our cul-de-sac 'cabin' has all you can want for comfort, size and activities. We believe you and your family will enjoy your vacation experience...the value is unbeatable when considering hotels or resorts. BTW...Choctaw Casino is a short 30 minutes away! New boat ramp next to dock to launch your boat...

What makes this property unique

Quiet cul de sac with open water and new boat ramp for convenience.
