Nice home & great host!

This large home was perfect for our family stay. Dennis was wonderful to work with from booking through check out. Love that the house is set back from the road so even though you are close to everything, it feels secluded and peaceful!

Great for Family Getaway

Perfect home to spend quality time with family and fit the needs for my parents, my sister and our combined 4 teen/kiddos. We enjoyed the comforts of the home and found it to meet our needs. The large master bathroom was a treat and I loved sitting on the front porch in the mornings listening to the birds (and rain!) and drinking coffee. It's a great central location for us and close to our parents home. We would love to book again for our next trip!

Great house

This is a great house to stay whenever you visit Lake Fork. House is very clean and close to our favorite boat ramps. It sits a ways off the road and is surrounded by fields, I love the secluded feeling you get while staying here. Be sure to get owner permission for your boat.

Lake Property Hidden Gem

Unbelievable stay! We were so blessed to have found this lake house. Everything was so clean, modern, with such a wonderful layout. The kids played basketball, I grilled, lots of laughs in the family room. More than we could have hoped for and hope to stay again soon. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Oh, and we did some fishing and recreational boating fun...enjoyed the property so much almost forgot about that part ;) just a few miles away.

We stayed there for a wedding event over the weekend

Good property, but 50% of our rental fee was to a third party and we couldn’t receive a refund. So be sure to read the agreement first.

Fantastic Home

This is a first class high end home. It's exceptionally equipped, very clean, and very well kept up. The owner lives local to the area so he's very easy to contact and deal with. The home has more storage than anyone on vacation could reasonably ever need and came equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The owner has a policy of no boats or trailers on site so make sure you contact the owner and request permission in advance if your travel plans include a trailer. We found the owner very reasonable and easy to deal with. Just an exceptional home and an exceptional experience.

We came down for a fishing tournament and the location was perfect for us. Close to ramps and grocery store, etc. you do need to contact the host if you are bringing a boat to make sure it is ok.

We had a wonderful 15 year anniversary here! The place was fantastic and I could have just lived in that tub! The owner has a great sense of humor and was a lot of fun to deal with. It's quiet and set off from the road so it became a perfect sanctuary for us.
