Welcome to our rustic waterfront cabin with spectacular views of world-famous Lake Fork. The cabin sits on 3 acres tucked in an expansive cove. Open concept LR/DR/kitchen. Private boat ramp, expansive covered dock with 1-stall boat lift & fish-cleaning station. Home features fire pit, propane grill, 2-tiered back porches, outdoor fireplace, lighted sidewalk to boathouse, carport, granite c-tops, SS appliances, breakfast bar & butler's pantry w/beverage fridge.
Dogs allowed WITH HOST APPROVAL & SMALL PET FEE.
Hoping to catch “the big one”? Craving some rest & relaxation with the family? Five Points Lake Fork—a rustic, private, waterfront deluxe cabin on 3 private acres—has it all. Perfect for your fishing weekend, couples’ weekend, family vacation/reunion, girls’ getaway, retreat, or bridal/wedding party.*****
We invite fishermen, nature lovers, and families to check out our rustic retreat, with its open concept LR/DR/kitchen and expansive upper and lower back porches, as well as aN expansive, overwater, open-air dock, 1-stall boat lift, and fish-cleaning station.
Our peaceful, spacious log cabin is nestled in quiet No Name Cove on one of the hottest bass fishing lakes in the US. The large open-air covered pavilion offers shade and breezes spring through fall. The private, concrete boat ramp and fish-cleaning station make your fishing getaway a breeze. Located just minutes from several towns, including Quitman, Mineola, Emory and Yantis makes the cabin the perfect home base for antique shopping; plus, the World-Famous First Monday Trade Days in Canton is only 30 miles south. The guys can fish while the girls shop ‘til they drop! Also, each town has various festivals, fairs, and other activities throughout the year.
The Colorado ash wood interior, floor-to-ceiling custom stone fireplace, hardwood floors, and open floor plan with incredible lake views make this cabin one of the best places on World Famous Lake Fork. Whether you choose to sip iced tea (or wine) on the back porch, take your boat out on the lake, or roast marshmallows in the outdoor stone fireplace, you’ll feel stress just melt away. The grassy area in the front of the house is quite large—with ample room to play catch or touch football. We also have horseshoes and corn hole available. Imagine the fun your family can have!
If you don’t have a boat, no worries—fishing is an option right off the dock. Or, contact The Boat Rental at Lake Fork. They can deliver and pick up from the cabin.
Enjoy the well-lit pathway to the boathouse with tree lights, or tell stories under the Edison-bulb lights on the back porch and patio area. Sunsets on the lake are spectacular, and the stars at night are big and bright!
Prefer to stay indoors? We’ve got you covered there, as well. With the wall of French doors, you can enjoy the lakeviews from inside. Play games, enjoy free WiFi, watch cable on DirecTV, or snuggle up while you watch a movie. Family bonding time has never been better.
The well-equipped kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, a butler’s pantry with beverage fridge and all the appliances, pots and pans and cooking utensils you need to prepare meals for your family and friends. Cook up your catch of the day, or have a crawfish boil. However, if cooking isn’t your thing, you can visit one of the several local restaurants for some good home cookin’.
We allow small to medium-sized dogs WITH HOST APPROVAL. Small fee required.
We allow small parties WITH HOST APPROVAL. Additional fee required.
THINGS TO NOTE:
1. Host is not liable for any incidents in regards to the house, boat house, property, and/or lake.
2. With the recent popularity and increased frequency of online meetings, we want to let guests know that our Internet may not support online video conferencing calls. They do connect, but often there is a delay, which can be frustrating for people on both ends of the call. Also, streaming on multiple devices at the same time can exacerbate this problem. Thanks!
3. Because we are now living in a world with COVID, we encourage you to purchase travel insurance that will cover "pandemic" when you book your stay. We have a strict cancellation policy and will not refund payment. Thanks for understanding.
NOTE: We do not allow RV hook-ups on this property, but there are several RV parks situated around Lake Fork.
Sleeping Accommodations:
King Bedroom #1—Downstairs: King ranch-style bed (linens provided) and brand-new foam mattress. Multiple windows with stunning lake view. French doors have blackout curtains. TV sits atop a storage armoire. Guests are welcome to use the mirrored dresser. This room also has a western-themed loveseat and cedar chest at the foot of the bed.
King Bedroom #2—Upstairs: King bed with cedar chest bench at its foot. 8" thick futon opens to a full-sized bed.

Bedroom #3—Upstairs: The Red Room has a queen-sized bed with a comfortable, thick mattress and equestrian-themed bedding. Red blackout curtains hang over the French doors that lead to the balcony with the same wonderful lake views.
*Note: Bedroom #3 and #4 are adjoining bedrooms so you must pass through bedroom #4 to get to bedroom #3. We have installed a fabric screen to give additional privacy to guests in bedroom #4 (the pass-through room).
Bedroom #4—Upstairs: Full bed with blue & white bedding.
Living Room—Leather sofa, fabric sofa & a plush recliner (a favorite of many), with a large coffee table, fireplace and TV.

Bathroom #1—Downstairs: Large master bath with slate walk-in shower, jetted tub, and his and her sinks.
Bathroom #2—Upstairs: Large Jack-and-Jill-style with walk-in shower
Guests will be able to access both the cabin using a keypad on the front door. We'll send the unique code on the day of arrival.
NOTE: Hosts are not responsible for low lake levels. However, that doesn't happen very often.

About the host
Hosted by Leslie Wilson
My husband, Bret, and I enjoy hosting people from all over the U.S. and the world at our three rustic homes, all with spectacular views and lots of privacy. We've discovered we have a knack for creating spaces that make guests feel at home by adding special touches like outdoor lighting and rustic furniture and by capitalizing on natural settings. Our rustic-industrial-boho-farmstyle vibe may not be what people would choose for their home, but they enjoy it for a getaway!
Bret and I also enjoy making rustic-industrial furniture. Our homes showcase pieces we've built, including dining tables, TV stands, coffee tables, headboards, night stands, desks, and shelves. The things we couldn't build we discovered at First Monday in Canton, Texas, one of the largest flea markets in the U.S. NOTE: Canton, TX is less than 45 minutes from both of our homes.
By day, Bret works as an investment advisor. I (Leslie) split my time between marketing for a local urgent care and writing/editing/speaking. We have six amazing children (three by birth, three are our kids' spouses) and four grandchildren.

Why they chose this property
We have carefully curated upscale, rustic homes that offer privacy and a chance to shut out the hectic world. We enjoy staying at all of our places as we have time.
We currently have three properties--all with exquisite views:
Five Points Rockwall is a 4/3 estate home on six acres in Rockwall, TX (less than 25 miles from downtown Dallas) that overlooks a 1.5-acre private pond. It has a large screened porch that opens to the beautiful pool and backyard.
Five Points Lake Fork is a 4/2 log home in Alba, TX situated on No Name Cove on Lake Fork, one of the world's premier bass fishing lakes. It has an expansive back deck that overlooks the fire pit and backyard.
The Best Little A-frame in Texas: a 1/1 A-frame waterfront cabin on is on Kitsee Inset on Lake Tawakoni, TX. We added on a large multi-level back deck with close proximity to the fire pit.

What makes this property unique
We offer consummate getaways--wonderful places for you and your family or a group of friends. And we do it right, using furnishings that match the style of homes and the rustic nature of the elements.
Since we stay in short-term rentals frequently when we travel, we keep our eyes open for amenities we might like. We've added things like a Keurig, hotel-sized soaps, foaming hand wash, outdoor lights, fire pits, etc. because we enjoyed them (or appreciated them) in other hosts' homes.
