Lake Tawakoni Family Vacation

Wonderful experience and accommodations for a family. Perfect size pool for young children and great boat dock with easy access to the lake. The lake was wonderful and provided great fun for our grandchildren. We are planning to make this trip again hopefully very soon.

Comfortable stay

The house was extremely well equipped and big enough that the eight of us had plenty of room to spread out. We especially loved early mornings on the dock as the sun came up. The beds were comfortable and nights were quiet. The kitchen had everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent. We would definitely stay here again!

Fishing get away

The property was awesome and located on the lake. It was beautiful and we had fun. There were 9 adults and there was so much more space for twice as many people. Great for big groups with kids too.

Perfect Family Summer Vacation

The property was everything we expected and more. Loved the Large dining table for my family to eat together and each bedroom had its own bathroom. The outdoor space was perfect for swimming and fishing. The fire pit was a huge hit with my family for s’mores too. Perfect place to see the fireworks. Loved the property. Will definitely stay again.

Lakehouse Paradise!!!

Everything from the booking process through the check-out process went smoothly. The host is top notch! We fished every day and caught enough fish to feed 14 people and had leftovers! This lakehouse has everything you could possibly think of. There is even a Pac Man machine in the Pool Room (for us old school folks). We rate our experience a 10 out of 10 and will definitely book this lakehouse again!

Beautiful property. We had to book this property last minute due to a last minute cancellation. It was perfect for our families. The kids loved the pool and lake. We had so much fun. House was comfortable and tidy. The only downside which wasn’t a big deal was that we had to go out to the dock and deck to clean up a bit. (Dusty, bugs, cobwebs) it was a bit of a mess. Thank you!!

Amazing place !

Very clean, nicely decorated, lots of space , soundproof rooms, comfortable beds. The organ was very entertaining. Loved the upstairs patio & downstairs pool house ! Pool table & pac man video game was a plus. Pool was clean & cool all day. There was enough seating for everyone by the pool. The boat dock was very accessible. Enjoyed the Canoe & Kayak . Host was very accommodating & was quick to respond when questions came up. Felt very safe & relaxed. Would definitely come back . We had 9 girls & 4 1/2 bathrooms 😊 I would give this house 10 stars ⭐️

Great weekend getaway!!

We had a great time here. The kids loved the pool and bunk house. My husband loved the dock and stay out fishing most of the time. The home is great plenty of space. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed. The patios are peaceful as my daughter said. She loved the one by the dock looking out at the lake. My kids had a wifi withdrawal the first 15 minutes but forgot about there phones and internet. Once they got in the pool. Wifi was spotty the 1st day but fine the rest of the timeHost had great communication and responded fastEverything was great!! Hopefully we can rebook for another weekend getaway
