This place had everything we needed. Space for our group to sleep, large back yard for kids to play in, direct access to the water, a dock perfect for our fishermen. We loved our stay here.
Have stayed at the haven two years in a row, loved the location and communication with property manager is always prompt, thank you for another great stay!
We had a lovely family vacation here and really enjoyed our stay. Our kids loved the beach and the pier. The deer were also entertaining! I love the location too since it’s close the the park and the walking trails. We have already discussed booking again this year.
Everything was as described and as shown in photos. Since I was the first one there, I was surprised that I had to turn on the water out by the back fence (underground) and turn on the hotwater heater. I'm in my 70s. The 3rd bathroom (outside in bath house) was in terrible shape. We had counted on getting to use it. There are 2 bathrooms inside for 4 bedrooms. One bedroom has 7 beds. There are septic tank issues. The grands loved the little beach. Deer came to visit every morning and every evening.
The house was a the perfect size for our family of 10. Each adult couple had their own space and then the large family bedroom was perfect for all the grandkids to claim as their own. Two bathrooms are a little inadequate for the number of people it sleeps, but we made it work. The fenced area right outside the back door was convenient for the dogs to use - especially since it rained the entire 4 days we were there. And, it kept them from chasing the deer who were hanging out in the yard. We only used the kitchen for breakfasts as we were eating meals with the rest of our extended family who own a home just down the road. However, we noticed the kitchen was well stocked, so it would be convenient to prepared meals inside or outside by the lake. The outdoor space is amazing with a grill and smoker, a tree house and plenty of room for a soccer game or a family game of football. We want to return in the summer so we can enjoy it!
Excellent communication and helpfulness on the part of the property manager, perfect preparation of every room and the grounds, the beautiful setting, meticulous condition of all aspects of the spacious and gracious house without its being in anyway “fussy” or “too precious”—these aspects and others made these accommodations the perfect place to relax, play, converse, cook & eat, sleep soundly, and have a wonderful “headquarters” to hang out for six days while attending a nearby wedding. Our contacts who live nearby will definitely recommend it to other family members and friends sojourning in Possum Kingdom in the future!

The location of this house is great!
Our family was at this location from August 10 thru the 15th. A wonderful sandy beach and the lake view from the house is very relaxing. The kitchen area has been recently up dated and large enough for multiple people. Friendly deer visited us daily and the grandkids had plenty of yard room. Possum Kingdom lake is beautiful and relaxing. Hope to visit this location again soon.
We loved our stay at this property. The house is very well equipped and the management was great to work with thru the entire process. The only reason for the 4 stars on the neighborhood was that the neighbors dogs spent most of their time in our yard instead of their own. Their dogs are friendly, but we took our own as well and there was a confrontation between them anytime they were both outside at the same time. Other than that, the house is in a perfect place on the lake and is still our favorite place to stay on PK.
Thank you for having us,
The Mondens
Everything in our stay was excellent. We did some fishing and they have an extra boat lift which made it very convenient. We just hoped the weather would have been better. Either way we had a great time and everything in the house was as described. We will definitely return soon!! Thank you!
The property was very nice and clean. It met all our needs. Thankful there was one bedroom downstairs for our 91 yr old mother. The only issue we had was getting onto the WiFi. The email we received had an incorrect password. We found the correct one in a notebook left at the house. Overall, our experience was wonderful!
This place was fantastic! The house was awesome and the location was better than we had imagined. Gorgeous stargazing and great yard for playing with the kids.
Great property to enjoy family on the weekend. Large yard, quiet neighborhood, and great access to water. Fished from the boat slip and store nearby for grocery items.

My wife and I have 5 children and have lived in Abilene for over 30 years. Since our children have now grown and spread out a bit over Texas, family get-together's are of highest priority and 'The Haven' provides that for us. We hope you enjoy 'The Haven' as much as we do!

Why they chose this property
Our favorite feature is the sandy beach at waters edge. This make the home as 'grandchildren' friendly as a lake house could be with plenty of space for our family.
