Relaxing getaway

We had a relaxing couple of days here - enjoyed the games, Frisbee by the lake, fire pit etc. The owner has definitely made updates in most of the rooms but not all. If it's chilly, be prepared that one restroom is off the front porch (but has a heater in it). The upper deck above the house was a treat for the kids.

My stay

Overall the property and my stay was fine. The WiFi was broken during our stay and didn’t get fixed, not too big of a deal for me but my mom was a bit irritated, and it made communicating with the owners more difficult due to bad cell service as well. Some reviews say it has water access across the street but the closest public water access was about a 5-10 minutes drive, everywhere has gated property and we couldn’t get to the water to fish or boat easily. The state park was a short drive so we went there for a day and had a great time. Great recommendations on the wall from the owner for food and night attractions.

Country Cabin near the Lake

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Perfect escape from the city with my sisters and within in walking distance Lake Tawakoni. Cozy & comfy interior with all the necessary items needed to make your stay simple. So pleasant to sit on the front screened patio with the breeze through the huge oak shade trees and listen to the frogs chatting in the pond, the birds singing, and none of the noise of the city to disturb you. Spent all our time outdoors either by the fire-pit in back, on the front porch, or down the street at the Private Community Park on the lake front. Short drive to Quinlan with all the conveniences of a small town; WalMart, Brookshire's, restaurants, gas stations, shopping, and Hunt County Trade Days(every Saturday and Sunday). Ben was very gracious and made sure our stay was hassle-free.

We had a bad fishing weekend because of the wind,but the house is stocked with everything I was told. It's very quiet. Very clean. Fire pit, charcoal grill, gas grill. Plenty of indoor and outdoor furniture. We had six men take a shower all in a row and never ran out of hot water. Those are what I care about. Two thumbs up.
