About this property
The Serene Getaway
Escape to Your Lakeside Oasis: Just 90 Minutes from Dallas
Unwind and recharge at our serene lakehouse, a peaceful retreat enveloped by a canopy of trees. Wake up to breathtaking views of the lake, with the only sounds being the gentle lapping of water and the rustle of leaves. It's the perfect escape from the hustle of city life.
Spend your days casting a line off our brand-new dock—the fishing here is fantastic! When you're ready to cool off, a private swimming area is just steps away. In the evenings, gather on the spacious deck for a meal with a view, or roast marshmallows and share stories around the brand-new lakeside fire pit as the stars come out.
Our property comfortably sleeps 8 and features two separate buildings. The main house has two bedrooms and one full bathroom. A separate, detached bunkhouse provides the third bedroom and a second full bathroom, offering a private space for part of your group.
While the setting feels wonderfully secluded, you're only minutes from charming local spots. Explore the unique shops and delightful dining in downtown Mineola, or take a short drive to Lindale (15 mins) or Tyler (30 mins) for more options.
Your lakeside retreat awaits.

Great experience! The host was super friendly and responsive, the home was clean and had everything we needed. Fishing was great, we caught bass and catfish galore. We loved it so much we immediately booked it again for our sons birthday weekend!
The house was perfect for us! It had everything we needed and the location was great for an event we were attending on the other side of the lake. We will definitely be back for another stay. Thank you!
Our stay was AMAZING!! The bunk house turned out to be such a benefit. Everything was just stellar!

Cute cabin on Lake Holbrook outside Mineola, about 30 min from First Monday Trade Days in Canton. Booked for a group of ladies going to Canton. The listing says it sleeps 10, but we had 5 and it was a little tight in the main house so a couple of us slept in the adjacent bunkhouse. The lake view is beautiful and exactly as described- very serene!! The beds were all comfortable, and the heaters/AC units worked well. We did have a few issues… the counters in the kitchen, main house bathroom, and bunkhouse bath were dusty and had dead bugs on them. There were no washcloths, hand towels, or a bath mat in the bunkhouse, and the kitchen dishrags were dirty/stained. Trash from the previous renters was stuffed in the back of the pull out trash bin. There is a coffee maker, but the filters provided were the wrong size and caused an overflow/spill. Just overall needed to be cleaned and stocked better - especially for a larger family or group. We were greeted each evening and morning by the sweetest stray pup who truly felt that her place was inside the house which made it a little difficult to enter and exit. We all agreed that the lack of cleanliness in the unit(s) overshadowed the positives.
This has to be the most wonderful place to spend a vacation. The lake was beautiful and peaceful. I recommend staying here for your next stress free getaway
Me and my co workers all stayed while we were out on a job in the area this stay was better than a hotel you have the view of the lake, very quiet and peaceful, very clean and comfy will definitely book again for a family trip or if I am out here for work.
This was such an amazing property! We enjoyed every second of our stay. Very clean & the host was so kind and responsive. Plenty of things to play with at the house and some of the best back porch sittin around. I highly recommend this property!!!
It was a great visit and stay at this location. We didn't realize it was two different structures until we were almost there. It did say it in part of the listing, but we had to dig for it. It all worked out great though! The outdoor space is amazing!
Amazing place on the water. We had a great time and didn’t want to leave! We participated in the Big Bass Splash and were conveniently located to Lake Fork! The host was beyond helpful in everyway!! We lacked nothing staying here! We Will definitely be back!!
The property was clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was a great location to select when shopping at Canton Trade Days. We would come home from shopping and sit by the fire pit, sip wine, and watch the boats on the water. Great place for relaxing with friends or family!

So Glad yall had a great time, Cant wait to have you back...
We had an awesome time, the location was perfect the view of the lake was awesome and very relaxing, We had our family gathering there for the weekend, everyone loved the home the lake and all the lake toys and we also rented the boat which I loved, because we didn’t have to go elsewhere to rent. Fun and relaxing 💯💯💯❤️
We had a nice time staying on Lake Mineola. We went to fish, and it was a great place to stay and hang out right on the water. The small house is just the right size for a few people. The main house has 2 bedrooms and1 full bath. The other two bunkbeds and the full bath are in the backyard separate from the main house in a tiny guesthouse, but very close and convenient to the backdoor and nice porch! Thomas was super easy to get ahold of and communicate with before and during our stay! This a great place to go relax on the lake and have some fun in the country!
This property was everything as advertised and much more. The kitchen was well equipped. There was firewood for the fire pit and chairs on the dock. It is an easy walk to the lake and very peaceful. The beds were all clean and comfortable. We did not encounter any problems whatsoever, but I felt like Tommy would take care of anything if there was. Very, very happy!
