About this property

The Lazy Possum Cottage @ PK

The Lazy Possum Cottage is a modern fishing cabin on the north side of Possum Kingdom Lake. This remodeled waterfront property offers a gentle slope to the water perfect for swimming and wading. It is usually deep enough to moor a boat or jet skis right at the shore although if the water level fluctuates you might have to tie it up a little further out or use our boat slip at the marina less than a quarter of a mile down the road. This is also the closest boat ramp.

The house has 2 bedrooms, one with a king size bed and the other with a queen. It will sleep 6 if the queen sized sofa bed is used. There is also room for floor mattresses if prior arrangements are made. It also has 2 full baths, one with a shower and deep tub combo, the master offers a walk in shower next to a jacuzzi tub. A laundry room with a full size washer and dryer is off the first bathroom. The large open kitchen with its granite countertops and farmhouse sink offers appliances including an oven, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher as well as small appliances such as coffee maker, blender, and toaster oven. Included are dishes, silverware, cups, barware, pots and pans, tea kettle, hand mixer, knives and baking dishes. A complementary starter array of coffee, tea, and hot chocolate is provided. The large living room doubles as a dining room that seats 6. There are 2 televisions both equipped with the ability to sign in to your favorite streaming service. There is surround sound in the living room and you can connect to the system via Bluetooth to stream music inside and on the porch. WiFi is provided. There is a gas fireplace that is available for use in the colder months.

On the lake side of the house is a screened in patio complete with a gas grill. Grill utensils are available. There is a built in eating bar facing the lake so you can enjoy the view. There is plenty of yard for the kids to enjoy and an outdoor shower to rinse off with easy access to the bathroom through the side door.

This location is right down the street from several restaurants, bait shops, gas stations, a small grocery store with an awesome meat counter, and a liquor store. Nearby are lots of trails for hiking and biking. Boat and jet ski rentals are available near-by and if you are looking for fishing services, let me know and I will get you in touch with an awesome local guide.

Beautiful and peaceful lake home!

This place is absolutely perfect!! It’s beautifully renovated, clean, and comfortable! The space and amenities were very accommodating for our family of 5. The screened in porch and evening sunsets were my favorite! It had everything we needed. We had a great time! We will definitely be coming back!

Nice little house, perfect for a small get away. The small boat ramp down the street from the house made it easy for us to launch our kayaks for the tournament.

Lazy Possum is Awesome

This is not our first time to stay at the Lazy Possum and it definitely won't be our last. Steps away from the lake, all things you need or want come with this cottage. We love late nights just sitting, relaxing on the screened in back porch as well as having coffee in the mornings there too. House is comfy, cozy and just perfect for my husband and myself, we love it!

Water View

We enjoyed our stay. Great location on the water! Lots of restaurants within 10 min. Bring starter fluid if you want a fire on the beach. We did not care much for the memory foam mattress, but we are spoiled with our sleep number bed at home. The screened in porch and updated furnishings were nice.

Perfect long weekend getaway

The cabin is older but the interior is beautifully remodeled with modern touches. The master bath is amazing with an oversized shower and a relaxing jetted tub. The kitchen was well-stocked with skillets, pans, cookie sheets, etc. We aren't coffee drinkers but there were multiple coffee pots, sweeteners and creamers. The only thing we wish we had was more seasonings (garlic salt, etc) to use for our meals but that's on us. The lakefront is beautiful. We spent hours in the lounge chairs at the water's edge reading a book and enjoying the peace. Every evening multiple deer would walk into the front yard to hang out and we were entertained by ducks and geese the entire time. We enjoyed our stay and plan to return!

Amazing property!

The property is very roomy and very clean! You step out onto the screened in back porch and you are at the lake. Shade trees cover the seating area. There were floats and beach toys for the kids to play with in the sand. The AC works amazing! It was so nice and cool when we returned from our baseball tournament! Courtney was an amazing host and answered my questions within minutes!

Beautiful cabin on the lake

This property is all it says it is and more. We had a wonderful time. The cabin is gorgeous and very up to date. It is right on the water. If you have a boat they have a boat slip you can use. Also you can just pull your boat right up to the house. Courtney was fantastic answered all questions in a very quick manner. All in all a wonderful time and a place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Courtney Thompson

Host profile image
I grew up visiting Possum Kingdom Lake almost every weekend in the summer. My career brought me back but requires me to live on site. And as my dad and I did most of the remodeling on the house, it meant too much to me to sell it. So this way, I get to share the lake I love and the house I brought to life with my own two hands with other people and help them make awesome memories too!
