Lakeside Retreat to Relax & Unwind, and take in the Best Sunsets on the Lake!

Enjoy the best sunset view on the lake! Time to slow things down a bit and have a change in scenery? Why not catch the birds as they pass over the water, just as the sun sets and the sky turns from blue to amber, before the stars begin to shine.

Come stay at our home - which is thoroughly cleaned after each guests stay. Perfect for a family get away or a group of friends looking for a weekend adventure. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath lakeside retreat is the place to make those memories happen. Wake up and enjoy your morning coffee on the fully furnished covered porch, while watching a flock of Ducks pass by. Later as evening arrives, take in the breathtaking sunset views on the open water. Lots of room for all to gather around the over-sized stone fire pit. Roast marshmallows, make s'mores and reminisce about the days fun filled events. A portable Bluetooth speaker is available for inside or on the covered elevated porch.

While inside this cozy retreat, gather in the kitchen while preparing dinner, looking out over the lake. With 3 fully furnished bedrooms, a pullout couch and additional bunk-beds, the home can comfortably sleep 6 -8 adults and/or 4 children. The open concept provides two living rooms that can be enjoyed by all or to provide the adults space to stretch out on the comfortable lounge furniture while the kids take over the game room. Board games and a giant Jenga game are provided for all to play. The home is equipped with 3 TV's with Roku's, so you have access to all of your favorite Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc., web based entertainment. WIFI is provided, allowing you to stay connected, however we do recommend 'unplugging' while at the lake.

The retreat is located within Indian Harbor on an over sized lot that offers a landscaped and enclosed side yard. Take advantage of the lake, bring your fishing gear and try your luck. Go swimming or just float in the expansive protected cove with beautiful lake views. There is easy access to 2 private boat ramps, visible from the home, so bring your boat and jet skis to enjoy. The home does have a covered boat house with a lift and a single jet ski lift. Please be sure to let us know if you would like to use them for your water craft.

Easy to get to, just an hour’s drive from downtown Dallas. This retreat is conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants in Gun Barrel City or Athens. Explore the largest flea market in the U.S. with a trip to Canton’s First Monday Trade Days (held on the weekend adjacent to the first Monday of each month), only 30-minute away! IF you like to get out and explore, a book of suggestions is provided along with tips for enjoying your stay.

We welcome you to come and enjoy Lake Life...Relax, Unplug, & Unwind.
C'mon, what are you waiting for?

The porch is my happy place!
The place was spotless and the side yard is great for fur babies. The neighborhood is a bit rough, but once you are at the rental is is amazing. The lake is so peaceful. The porch was where I relaxed with morning coffee and evening sunsets. Stayed the week of the eclipse and was able to observe totality from the backyard. The fire pit is really nice and we made some great s'mores ♥️

Great Stay
The house is really nice, and very clean. The manager met us at check in and showed us around the place and was there to ask any questions we had. We were hoping for warmer weather, so we could actually get in the water, but with the wind and the clouds we ended up just handing on the porch and by the water. Which was the second best thing, to swimming/floating. The view is wonderful, lots of bird and boats to watch. There are a lot of places to DoorDash from in the area, and we had a spectacular weekend just hanging out.

Needs Updates
Needs update: Carpet needs to be cleaned, unlevel floors, bedroom doors need to be held by a block, boat dock needs boards replaced and spider webs knocked down. The backyard view is amazing for sunsets! Clean bathrooms and kitchen! Great host! Jessie and Laura were awesome!

Very clean!
The place was very clean and decorated for the holiday. Host was responsive and even came to our "rescue" quickly when we locked ourselves out. The lake access is beautiful and can be enjoyed from the deck or the dock. We had everything we needed during our stay.

Lovely sunsets and Lake view
We really enjoyed the patio and lake view and fenced in side yard for our dog. The home was clean and not far from some retail areas as well. We also enjoyed fishing from the dock even though the fish were not biting that day.
