Lovely Stay!

The property was large, clean, and very nicely decorated. Loved the large front porch facing the lake, the roomy kitchen, and the fun game themed decor. Perfect for large families or groups of friends.

Great place to stay! Quiet area with minimal traffic in the neighborhood and the lake. Didn’t realize the lake access wasn’t attached to the house property until we arrived. It’s actually a short walk across the road but not far at all really. Other than that everything was as described.

Loved our stay

This is a beautiful home and has everything you need to enjoy a family vacation. We loved the "Game On" theme. Direct access to the lake with plenty of kayaks and other water vessels so you can fish or just enjoy being on the lake. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect weekend getaway

This property is beautiful, and has everything you need for the perfect getaway. This trip included my 3 best friends, and 2 of our moms. We had plenty of room to spread out and relax, sleep, cook, and just rejuvenate. The game theme was so much fun, and the front porch of this house is perfect for morning coffee and evening wine!! We will definitely keep it on our list!

Nice stay by the lake

The house was inviting and open with all the amenities that you would ask for. The neighborhood was quiet and it was just far away from town but close enough. There were groceries shopping and restaurants nearby and it was also in close proximity to Lake Fork.We fished like Holbrook as well as lake Fork and both are great Bass Lakes. There is a boat ramp for Lake Holbrook that is about five minutes away and you don’t get on any major highway. We probably saw about an average of four boats on that lake each trip out.It is likely we will stay here again

Small Town Retreat

We very much enjoyed our stay at Game On. The house was well appointed, the kitchen was stocked with everything needed to make a nice meal and grill out. We stayed in the winter and weren’t able to enjoy the outside amenities, but it looked like you could have a great time on the lake. The kids loved the game wall and the bunk rooms, super family friendly. I would stay here again.

The theme is game on. There are games everywhere perfect for a family with kids of all ages. Connect four on the wall, Scrabble magnets board games, cornhole, table hockey, ping pong and even tetherball. They also had kayaks and paddle boards and a canoe with life jackets available. Got on a paddle board for the first time in my life and I definitely enjoyed it. Husband fished a little bit only caught a few small ones. The bunk beds in one of the rooms are not as sturdy as they should be. But that's really the only not so good thing I can say about it. Everything else was perfect the front porch. Little bitty doc. And the Sandy Beach.

Will return😍

We came to Game On as a birthday/girl getaway. So nice and quiet in the area! The house was lovely…perfect for us. We love to paddle, so the kayaking was enjoyed by all. We took a nice long hike at the beautiful Mineola State Park that’s a short drive away. One of our group plans to return with her family and I would like to return with my grandkids. Thanks Martins for a great stay!

Weekend Friend’s Celebration Perfection

Six women, all over the age of 70, found this house perfect for a lazy, fun weekend. There’s plenty of beds and space for everyone. The bathrooms are huge and luxurious. Comfy living room gave us a place to watch movies. The single carport makes for loading/unloading plus keeps the weather at bay. Would be even better during the warmer months. Huge front yard, plus even larger lake front area, would give even more space for kids to play. Definitely recommend!

Ryan and Roxy were amazing to communicate with from the start. The house was super clean, comfortable and well equipped. If you like games, this is your spot! We enjoyed the beautiful weather and fished, kayaked and relaxed on the front porch. Only complaint is we could only stay 2 nights since it was so booked! Ha ha! We will have to return and stay longer next time.

Perfect for any getaway!

This game themed house is perfect for any getaway. There are games everywhere you look. There was a lot of thought out into the theme and decor. The lake was so close. We picked this weekend to go to Canton first Monday. This is close but not so close you have to deal with lots of people or traffic. Host was very responsive. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanksgiving 2023

The property was exactly as the hosts said it would be. The kitchen is stocked with utensils, there are plenty of games and things to do for all ages, it has a lakefront fire ring where we spent most of our evenings. Everything worked well for us with the exception of the sleeping arrangements but that had nothing to do with the house but the size and age differences of our kids & grand kids. We all had a great time!!

A Women's Getaway

Five women ages 65 to 90 stayed for four days. It was great for us. Beautiful setting, close to Mineola, good accommodations. But, two sets of bunkbeds were ON THE FLOOR which was hard for us to get up and down, but GREAT FOR CHILDREN. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and dishes. Could not find extra trash bags. I would bring trash bags, napkins and coffee.

Thanksgiving Family Vacation 2023

Our family had a great time in this beautiful home on the lake. There were lots of things to do to keep our 11 year old grandson entertained. We especially enjoyed the foosball and ping pong tables. The kayaks were great as well. The water in the cove was perfect for beginner kayak users. The large front porch was a real treat to sit on and enjoy the view of the lake. The home was very clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking our meals and the open floor plan made it easy for everyone to be together. Communication with the owners was excellent. They made sure the rental went smoothly. We definitely want to rent this home again when we visit the Great State of Texas. Thank you Ryan and Roxy!
