We had an amazing stay. House was everything and more than expected. It was clean and had all of the essentials. The pool was great, which was nice to have after a long day on the lake. Property was well taken care of, which is always a plus. We will definitely be making this our home away home, on our annual trip. Also Shane and his wife were amazing hosts, you could not ask for better.

Perfect New Years Getaway

We stayed here for New Years with 5 families and 18 people and it was absolutely perfect. We had 8 teens/preteens with us and they spent the entire time outside playing with all the outdoor activities.The house itself is perfectly setup. It has everything you could possibly need. We will be booking again.

Perfect place for large families with young kids

We just returned from a great first trip to Lake Texoma and are already planning a return trip. The house was perfect with each room having its own bathroom. The hosts truly made us like old friends. The grounds with pickleball and basketball courts and fire pits for s’mores made a perfect place for the 8 kids under the age of 11 to run around and play! Truly a wonderful place, property, house and hosts!

Wills Family Vacation

It was wonderful! The Shepherd Cabin was perfect for our family. We appreciated the large kitchen, eating space & so much nice seating in living area. The things for little ones was much appreciated. The pool was totally the kids favorite & much time was spent there. All the outside activities available were great. The lake being so close for those who wanted to go on the boat was nice, too. Our kids said they would definitely come back. Shan was a perfect host - checking on us & making sure we had everything we needed. We had a really fun time!!!

This property is amazing! My extended family goes away for a weekend together each fall and our kids range from 1 all the way to 17. There were activities for all of them, none of them got bored the entire weekend!! The pickle ball court and the big "tent" with the fire pit were huge hits! We have 4 families so each family had their own bedroom and bathroom, which was really nice to each have our own space. The kitchen is well stocked with every appliance you could ever need and big enough that we weren't stepping over each other during meal prep. The hosts were very welcoming and responded quickly to any questions we had. I have zero complaints and will definitely visit again!!

Best reunion ever in the history of family reunions.

Great house, comfortable everything. Beds, couches, recliners for napping, tables for eating. Hot days with kids running in and out all day and the A/C worked like a champ and never skipped a beat. Where I'm from that's very important. We rented both houses right next to each other with about 50 or so and never once felt crowded, or bathroom issues. Overall just a great experience. Will definitely be using again.
