My stay was a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy life. I had stressful family business in Dallas (not far away) that had to be done but all my burdens seemed to melt away when I returned to Mallard's Mist. It's easy to unwind when you pull in the drive and there is a beautiful heard of deer.

The property is very nicely maintained and the deer come and dust and dawn.

They are so curious, they come right up to you, as long as you don't make any sudden movements.

If you do spook them they move very fast.

Perfect for familys with little kids

The property is safe and perfect for adults and littles. The walk up beach front is perfect for everyone to easily get in and out of the water. Fishing was great at night even while it was hot. Plenty of shade all in the back and great ac in the housem

The Mallard Mist.

This place was truly amazing next to the lake. The home was clean, every needed was there, towels dish cloths, dishes were well stocked as well as cookware. The children really loved it because they could swim in the lake everyday. Our host was nice and explained everything we needed to know. We decided that we would love to come back another time. I recommend this rental to anyone wanting to stay on the lake.

Our Favorite Lake House!

We have been coming here now 7 out of the last 8 years for the 4th of July. Can’t express how much we love it here, the house is right on the water and able to walk right in. The yard is always kept up and the trees provide great shade during the day. We have been out here with anywhere from 4-10 people and never felt crowded. Jon is always very attentive and deals with anything that comes up very quickly. We highly recommend staying at the Mallard Mist!!

The Perfect Getaway—A Hidden Gem on the Lake!Our stay at this charming, older lake house was nothing short of amazing. We had a group of 8 older teens and adults, plus one energetic 3-year-old—and not a single complaint from anyone the entire time (which says everything).From the moment we arrived, the cozy, homey feel of the house made us feel like we were staying at a beloved family retreat. We swam, caught fish, ran barefoot through the soft green grass, and stretched out under the sun with nothing but the sounds of nature around us.But more than anything, this was the perfect place to unwind. No pressure, no rush—just space to relax, reconnect, and enjoy each other’s company. It’s rare to find a place that keeps every age group happy, but this lake house truly delivered. We’re already talking about when we can come back!

About the host

Hosted by Matthew Goforth

TN guy west TX gal lived, worked in Dallas almost 40 years then discovered the lake life! Longtime sailors, nature lovers.

Why they chose this property

For its waterfront view, accessibility, no traffic, surrounded by trees, wildlife, few yet nice neighbors, only 2 miles to full retail services and 15 min to medical facilities.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful, on water, views but safe from boat, pwc traffic, only 5 min from all services but you feel totally away from town. Can sit on deck and watch kids play, swim in shallow water or join them in the large protected cove. No road traffic. Safe for kids, walking, pets.
