Lake Palo Pinto<br>Rustic, waterfront cabin<br>Steps from private boat dock

Z Cabin is located west of Ft Worth (about one hour drive) on beautiful Lake Palo Pinto. The cabin is waterfront and is steps away from boating, swimming, and fishing.

There is a fully furnished kitchen and beds to sleep 6 (temporary beds are available for two additional guests; please request in advance).

The front porch offers unobstructed views of the lake and two 'country' swings for relaxing or watching lake activities or evening sunsets.

Guests can bring their boat and keep it in the private dock during their stay.

A grill is located near the porch for outdoor cooking. A fire pit is located near the water for roasting hot dogs or making s’mores or just enjoying the evening around the 🔥.

The closest town is Santo (7 miles) which hosts a small General Store for groceries, gas and bait. This store is not open on Sundays. A convenience store in Santo is open 7 days a week. It has limited groceries and gas.

Please note that cell phone reception is limited in this rural area. WiFi is available once you are on the property. TV service is provided via several streaming packages.

Weekend getaway

My family was able to spend the weekend at this site. The weather was perfect. We enjoyed fishing, cooking and eating together - played games and able to get away from the hustle of life. The serene atmosphere is just what we needed. Great WiFi was a plus though we spend most of our time outdoors -

Enjoyable Get Away

My Husband and I had a great time at this cabin on the lake. He spent the time fishing and I sat on the porch swing and enjoyed the view of the lake and the surrounding hills. The cabin was comfy and gave us a nice home away from home. We definitely would like to come back for another visit!

Great area

We loved the area. Quiet waterfront log cabin. Nice porch and yard. Great boat dock for fishing and easy access to launch kayaks. Very nice bathroom downstairs, none upstairs but that worked just fine for us.

Cozy, Family friendly, Great Lake location

We had the best weekend getaway. The cabin was clean and cozy, with a great porch facing the lake. Very nice spot on the lake where we caught really nice fish, and swim with our 6 year old twins right off of the dock. Our host and her granddaughter helped make our daughter’s weekend wonderful! Definitely a lake rental worth booking.

Quiet restful stay

Very nice little cabin. Was very quiet around the lake. Enjoyed sitting and fishing off the dock. The only negative really were the roads around the lake. Kind of rough and broken up in places, but overall would recommend staying here.

Great getaway

The cabin exceeded my expectations. Wonderful place we even met the neighbor who was very kind. We fished, they were biting in the evening and threw back. The ambiance was fabulous especially the way the owner decorated the interior. This is an EXCEPTIONAL relaxation getaway.

Great getaway close to the metroplex.

Great getaway for a quiet weekend. This lake is surrounded by trees and hills. The house is close to the water and there is deep water off the boat dock. We caught several large catfish and carp.
