This is our 4th time staying at Toad Hollow. We loved it before and enjoyed it even more with the recent kitchen and bathroom remodel. This home has everything you’d need with clear tips on how to use things. Of course the patio is our favorite way to start and end the day. Thank you for helping us make family memories each summer!

We had an amazing experience at this lake house. The house has a huge lawn out back with spectacular view of the lake, which you can look at from the huge back porch. House was extremely well kept. Hosts go above and beyond to make the stay enjoyable and they succeeded with us.

Very cozy stay

Property manager made adjustments when we showed up early for checkin. We enjoyed a week on the lake during 100+ temps. It was nice to have a comfortable, cool home to retreat to. Marina is a few minutes drive away to keep boat. Plenty of seating on the covered porch.

Wish we stayed longer!

We could have happily stayed here a few more days. The house is so enjoyable, especially the deck and backyard, that we needed more time to hang out. Our girls loved being able to go right down to the water in the morning to play in the sand while I watched from the swing with my coffee. There are plenty of public boat ramps in short distance. Getting to Hell’s Gate was no problem. We will definitely be returning. Thank you Judy!

Perfect for a 50th Anniversary!

This property was PERFECT for our little family’s celebration of my parents 50th Anniversary. They didn’t want a party, just for all their kiddos to be together. We had tons of room, huge yard for soccer, sandy beach for swimming and the boat glided perfectly up on the shore to be tied off. We grilled, we lounged, we watched college football, we cooked s’mores. The back deck is DEVINE and we stayed out there almost entirely. The showers are both INCREDIBLE and we absolutely would stay there again.

Wonderful PKL Getaway!

We spent a week here with two families. Traveled from out-of-state with a boat, jet skis and kiddos looking for a place to relax, play and create memories. Toad Hollow turned out to be marvelous! The house is very clean and as described with fun & tasteful decor. The main floor has a great layout for families and groups, and flows nicely to the large covered deck out back which turned out to be a perfect place to relax as well as a good "staging area" for fun in the water. The AC works great, the kitchen is nicely furnished (w/ new appliances) and the beds are comfy! There is easy entry to the water from shore and a nice sandy bottom for swimming and playing. We had great water skiing right in front of the cabin and the sunsets are beautiful. The owners were gracious, generous and very responsive throughout the booking process and during our stay. They have gone to great lengths to create a special place for relax and make lake memories. Don't hesitate to book at stay here!

The best weekend!

We had such a fun and relaxing weekend. The back patio with a view of the lake was the best. You could watch the sunsets every night from the patio and they were gorgeous. The house was so homey and comfortable. It was decorated so cute and had a well stocked kitchen….everything you would need. The owners so helpful. The TV wasn’t working and I put in a call and he was there within the hour. He got the TV working in time for football!! I can’t say enough good things. We all loved it!

Amazing stay!

This place was awesome. You did not need for anything! The house is completely stocked, they had anything and everything you could need. We stay in a lot of VRBO's and this was the most well stocked house we've ever stayed in. It was clean and comfy. Everyone slept great. The back porch is what makes the house so incredible. HUGE porch with tons of seating options; hammocks and swings. Lots of yard games. Neat lights to turn on at night. It was our favorite spot for sure! It's close to the water so you catch the sounds of the water lapping on the shore, and the sun sets right over the water in front of the house. It was cute, charming, clean, stocked and comfortable! Also, it's only a mile from all the restaurants, close to a gas station too. Boat ramp was 5 minutes away as well.

If you’re looking for a little oasis get away, check no further than this backyard. Not only is the patio comfortable but the view is incredible. The owners were welcoming, professional and easy to access. I felt like I was home. Stocked with convenient items and loved the fact that we could just dock our boat in the bank.

Great property & great communication! Judy was just a message away. My husband & I plus 2 more couples stayed here. The atmosphere is awesome! I’ve never stayed anywhere that the kitchen was stocked with anything you could possible need to cook. Peaceful part of lake with sandy beach to play in water plus place to tie our boat & seadoos.

Great getaway close to DFW

The backyard and deck are incredible. We were able to bring our boat to the property's shoreline to easily pick up our passengers, which was essential because of the little ones. While we spent most of our time playing outside, the house is very well appointed with everything we needed and then some.

About the host

Hosted by Judy Cotter

Host profile image
Possum Kingdom Lake has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My family has called this area home for over 150 years, and we’ve cherished every moment spent here. I love sharing my little piece of paradise with others, and hope you’ll feel the same connection to this special place.

Why they chose this property

I chose this house for its great location on the east side of Possum Kingdom Lake. It’s close to family, conveniently near the heart of PK’s activities, and tucked into one of the quietest, most peaceful parts of the lake. The property sits on a one-acre lot with breathtaking vista views and fantastic sunsets.

Originally, I purchased this home with my husband to be close to my parents during their twilight years, as well as to create a future retirement destination. With a large family, I’ve loved having the space to gather for holidays and special occasions. From the moment I first saw it, I fell in love with the property and knew it was the perfect place to stay connected to family and eventually escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.

What makes this property unique

Toad Hollow Lake House is a true lakeside retreat designed for relaxation, connection, and comfort for guests of all ages and mobility levels. With over 100 feet of shoreline, a spacious 700-square-foot patio, and more than an acre of lakefront property, there’s plenty of room to unwind and recharge right on the water. Whether you’re enjoying a spectacular sunset, listening to the soothing sound of lake waves, or watching geese, squirrels, and foxes wander through the property, the natural beauty here is unforgettable.

To help make the home welcoming and enjoyable for everyone, we’ve added thoughtful accessibility updates throughout the property. Guests will appreciate ramp access into the house, an interior ramp providing easier access to the downstairs king suite and bathroom, and updated appliances designed with mobility needs in mind. The downstairs king suite offers convenient first-floor accommodations, helping guests enjoy the lake house comfortably and with greater independence.

For fun and connection, Toad Hollow offers horseshoes, cornhole, a cozy firepit, and expansive night skies perfect for stargazing. With two king suites, the home is ideal for couples, families, fishing trips, and lake weekends together filled with swimming, boating, and making memories. More than just a vacation rental, Toad Hollow is a place to slow down, reconnect, and create lasting moments with the people who matter most.
