Lakeside Retreat to Relax & Unwind, and take in the Best Sunsets on the Lake!

Enjoy the best sunset view on the lake! Time to slow things down a bit and have a change in scenery? Why not catch the birds as they pass over the water, just as the sun sets and the sky turns from blue to amber, before the stars begin to shine.

Come stay at our home - recently updated with new flooring throughout, updated 2nd bath and brand new sleeper/sectional in main living room. The home is thoroughly cleaned after each guests stay. Perfect for a family get away or a group of friends looking for a weekend adventure. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath lakeside retreat is the place to make those memories happen. Wake up and enjoy your morning coffee on the fully furnished covered porch, while watching a flock of Ducks pass by. Later as evening arrives, take in the breathtaking sunset views on the open water. Lots of room for all to gather around the over-sized stone fire pit. Roast marshmallows, make s'mores and reminisce about the days fun filled events. A portable Bluetooth speaker is available for inside or on the covered elevated porch.

While inside this cozy retreat, gather in the kitchen while preparing dinner, looking out over the lake. With 3 fully furnished bedrooms, a pullout couch and additional bunk-beds, the home can comfortably sleep 6 -8 adults and/or 4 children. The open concept provides two living rooms that can be enjoyed by all or to provide the adults space to stretch out on the comfortable lounge furniture while the kids take over the game room. Board games and a giant Jenga game are provided for all to play. The home is equipped with 3 TV's with Roku's, so you have access to all of your favorite Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc., web based entertainment. WIFI is provided, allowing you to stay connected, however we do recommend 'unplugging' while at the lake.

The retreat is located within Indian Harbor on an over sized lot that offers a landscaped and enclosed side yard. Take advantage of the lake, bring your fishing gear and try your luck. Go swimming or just float in the expansive protected cove with beautiful lake views. There is easy access to 2 private boat ramps, visible from the home, so bring your boat and jet skis to enjoy. The home does have a covered boat house with a lift and a single jet ski lift. Please be sure to let us know if you would like to use them for your water craft.

Easy to get to, just an hour’s drive from downtown Dallas. This retreat is conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants in Gun Barrel City or Athens. Explore the largest flea market in the U.S. with a trip to Canton’s First Monday Trade Days (held on the weekend adjacent to the first Monday of each month), only 30-minute away! IF you like to get out and explore, a book of suggestions is provided along with tips for enjoying your stay.

We welcome you to come and enjoy Lake Life...Relax, Unplug, & Unwind.
C'mon, what are you waiting for?

This was a great place for a relaxing weekend retreat. The neighborhood is sketchy until you get to the property, which was nice. The house was very clean and had everything you needed to have a relaxing weekend with the worry of forgetting stuff such as plates, utensils, etc. the check in process was very easy and they host/owners responded quickly. Even though the bowl dock was partially closed for storm damage repair , we were able to use it without issues. Would definitely stay here again.
