The Big House is so relaxing it comes with one inherent risk: your guests won't want to leave the Big House. If energy is mustered to wander from the Big House, you're certain to find your guests enjoying any number of Lake Fork Getaways hidden treasures, all just outside your door. Perhaps your guests made it no further than the front porch and are sipping coffee while soaking in a sensational sunrise. Perhaps they're playing cornhole out back. Maybe your guests are relaxing poolside in our fully-fenced courtyard. With BBQ grills and plenty of outdoor seating, the nature nuts in your group are bound to be gathered around the community fire pit, swapping fishing stories or simply consumed by an expansive sunset. Your guests who prefer ceiling fans and air conditioning will be found in our brand new Recreation Room. Big screen Smart TV, board games, darts, billiards, full fridge and coffee bar, our Rec Room boasts meeting space for up to 25 people and is an ideal place for your family reunion, corporate event, church retreat or pre-dawn, coffee-fueled gear check before heading out to seize the day.

About the host
Hosted by Erica Boehmer
I'm that kid you sat next to in school that wiggled non-stop and could never sit still. I was the one who shared all my food with the lunch table then left to go sit with the lonely new kid. Voted "Biggest Partier" of my HS class, my affinity for hosting is undeniable. Wherever I've lived, I've hosted - Seattle, Germany, Canada, and all across America. So, when life threw me a curve ball, I suppose it makes sense that I'm rising up to find myself ... hosting for a living. GRIT HAPPENS!
Why they chose this property
Although it was a Lake Fork sunrise that initially sold me on this property, it's been the sunsets across the big sky behind the Getaways that's kept me.
What makes this property unique
Lake Fork Getaways brings boutique lodging to East Texas. We offer one guest house (sleeps 2-4) for sunrise enthusiasts at our Sunrise Suite. We offer 4 Lodges which each sleep 2-4 people. We offer the Big House for larger groups who wish to sleep, eat and play together under one roof. Coming soon, we'll offer a luxuriously minimal Tiny Home experience exclusively for intimate retreaters of 1-2 people (adults only). No matter your lodging preference, all guests are welcome to enjoy our unique and defining shared spaces: our newly remodeled Recreation Room (accommodates up to 25), an Outdoor Courtyard (filled with fun) and our Saltwater Pool.
