Family friendly lakeshore cottage

Wow….i way underestimated how amazing this beautiful place would be until I got there. The owners are so kind and thoughtful . The cottage has such wonderful nice touches and was so comfortable and clean. The setup with the kayaks , canoes snd life jackets was such a cool option to partake in along with the cornhole setup . Of course we took advantage of the fire pit and make some smores. We will be coming back again and again 💯. It was just too amazing you will not be disappointed; thank you so much for the wonderful time !

Great Little Lake House

They have everything you need to enjoy the lake! Loved having all the kayaks, paddle-boards, etc., & life jackets. Fire pit at the lake was really nice and relaxing! Only a few minor complaints like the dryer not automatically shutting off (couldn’t let it run unless we were there to monitor) and had to buy shampoo and conditioner…other than that, it was super peaceful and we would go back!

Tiny gem

This is a small cottage on the back side of the hosts home. It is updated with nice touches. It feels updated, yet like a cottage. The waterfront access is literally right out the back door. They made your own parking spot- nice touch. Bed was comfy, shower was warm, heater was great, kitchenette was all we needed. WiFi was not great, TV was on WiFi and not great. The neighborhood is not the greatest to look at, but easily forgotten when you get inside. Traffic in the neighborhood was nuts at 7-7:30am and 5pm. Traffic on the main road was insane all the time except leaving for the airport at 3am on Saturday morning. Tons of restaurants to choose from. Grocery store was close by. It’s incredible the difference between the quiet cottage and the hustle and bustle of the main road a mile and a half away. We loved our stay and will be back for sure.

Property description is incorrect

I'm just being nice about the star rating i've given to these homeowners. I would of liked to say that this home was pleasant to stay in, but my family and I didn't even want to spend our night here. This property listing involves false advertisment as well as very rude owners. We found out that the cottage we were going to stay in is in these people's backyard, about 15 ft away from their actual home. There was no information in the description to inform us about this problem and my family and I felt very uncomfortable staying for the night. So, after we found this out, I got in contact with the owners to discuss what might of just been a mistake to them and could of been easily fixed. Apparently the owner didn't like to hear that I wanted a refund and made the situation so much worse than it was. In no way was she being professional or respectful throughout the process, being that she was yelling and arguing like a 40 yr old little kid. In other words, if your interested in this property just know that this cottage is in this womens backyard and the owners are not all that they seem to be unless your giving them your money. Safe travels everyone :)

Perfect getaway!

What a perfect little paradise! The cottage has been so thoughtfully planned out with the comfort and relaxation of the guests being the top priority. Came out for a quick girls paddle boarding trip with the dog and couldn’t have asked for a better location! So quiet and calm, we are already looking at dates to return as soon as possible!

Great Experience

My wife and I have stayed at many places on many different lakes this was our first time on Lake Lewisville it was definitely one of the bests places we have booked. My wife loved the cottage it was super clean and had everything we needed for cooking and comfort and loved the lights also lake view was gorgeous. If you love to fish I'm going to give a shout out to Ken he gave me a ride down to the boat ramp to get my truck and allowed me to dock my boat on the lake which makes a 4 days of fishing trip so much easier. Great host ,Great experience, Thanks

Quiet Oasis

We stayed at the cottage while we were visiting our son. We had visions of just relaxing and hanging around at the lake with him; sadly it was too cold and windy while we were there for that. The lake is however just as pictured and most times would be a perfectly lovely place to spend time at. The general area is experiencing a lot of development and area traffic was heavy. But shortly before you get to the cottage the road gets small and while staying there we had no sense of how much development is nearby. The cottage was absolutely great for our needs. It is small so where to put luggage, etc was a little challenging but in spite of its size it had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Lovely quiet both day and night. Owners let us know they were available if needed but otherwise didn’t interact. We had plenty of privacy and no issues. Would absolutely stay again should we return to the area..

Tranquil stay

The cottage was amazing! It was clean, well appointed, and everything was functional. Sadly, we were only there for two nights to visit family, but it was a lovely location. The Christmas decorations on the property were charming. If I ever have to go back to the area, I will stay again.

Hosted by Diana Weiss Garner

Host profile image
Ken and Diana Garner are superhost. Their passion is sharing their hidden gem "The Cottage" on the lake with others. The best part of hosting is creatng an experience just for you. Our guest have come from all over the world. We strive to equip the cottage with whatever our guest might need. We make sure the fire pit is ready. The propane grill is ready. The kayaks are ready. Life vest are ready. Your choice of pillows firm, soft, or something in between. A good night's rest. Choice of coffee's and beverages.

Why they chose this property

Why not. Hidden in the heart of a busy metroplex is a hidden escape, "The Cottage." Close to Frisco. Close to Denton. Your not far from the star or major shopping or nightclubs. When your done playing in the city come unwind and watch an incredible sunset. Share an evening around the firepit with friends. Bring your boat. Bring you jet skis. Have a mini staycation without having to travel too far if you are in the Dallas/Ft Worth metroplex.

What makes this property unique

Hidden in all this rush of humanity is a quiet retreat. Push the pause button. Its like going to camp at the lake. Very peaceful out here. We have all kinds of wild life. The sunsets are to die for. Its quite therapeutic to watch the wind caress the water. See you soon
