Charming lake house set up for fun family weekend. Plenty of indoor/outdoor activities. Furnished with corn hole, foosball, board games, fishing pier, jacuzzi, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Minutes from Abilene in a quiet older neighborhood. We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful morning coffee on the screened in porch.

Charming Lake Cottage
This little bungalow is perfect for families with young children. It's in a secluded, country neighborhood with minimal traffic, and the back yard is fenced. There's lake access as well, and the neighbors have several friendly animals (dogs, cats, lambs, chickens). There are plenty of toys and games for the kids, and we thought the selection of wholesome books (Laura Ingalls Wilder) was a nice touch. We had our son's 6th birthday party here with grandpa and some dear old friends. There's enough room to host a small (4-6 guests) gathering comfortably. This property feels like you're visiting your own / a relative's vacation home at the lake.

Stay at The Lookout!
Our family had a great experience at The Lookout! The directions provided made getting there a breeze. It is easy access to anything you need but far enough away that the location is quiet and peaceful. The house was clean and provided more than expected with soap and shampoo dispensers in the shower. We slept well in the comfortable beds and had plenty of room to enjoy family and friends. We would definitely stay here again!

We are from the area but needed a place to stay while having some home renovations. Everything was clean, easy check in/out process, and it was nice to be just outside of town!

Nice place to stay
It was just an overnight stop, for my wife & I on the way back from picking up our 3 year old granddaughter. Much better than a hotel, our granddaughter had plenty games & toys to keep her occupied. Great half way point for us. We will try & stay here again if it available.
