Nice place.. needs little help

Nice house. Nice location. Not as clean as we waunted. Cobwebs in livingroom and game room. Most shower heads leaked out the back towards wall.... Windows were not clean.

Nice setting

Big and roomy for family with kids. Super game room away from other living areas. Need to do ant mitigation in kitchen (lost food from the little buggers) general maintenance/repair on stairway to dock. Provide tissues and ziplock bags. Delivery of paper towels and wash detergent at 9:30pm was awkward. Printer needs ink.

A fantastic getaway just outside Fort Worth

Our group had a fantastic and relaxing time during our stay. The location is a great getaway that is easily close enough to the City for anything you might need. We really enjoyed the dock and using the kayaks and canoe. Would recommend bringing extra kayaks if you have a large group. Thank you for a great time!

About the host

Hosted by B Andrew Bennett

Army veteran from Virginia living in Texas. We love to travel and hope this lake house helps families make memories. Our families are Swedish, Scottish, and Irish which you'll see in some of Båtstuga's design accents.

Why they chose this property

We loved this house because it's updated and inviting on the inside and has a great outdoor space for being on the water and hanging with friends and family. Plus, it's just 30 minutes from downtown Fort Worth and has all the amenities of city living but it still feels like you're in a private world once you're at the house. The deck off the main living area is covered so we love spending time out there enjoying the outdoors and watching activity on the lake. The dock is located on an inlet so it's calm for getting in and out of boats but a short paddle away from the bigger parts of the lake.

What makes this property unique

Unlike a lot of lake houses, this house feels like a modern house you'd love to live in that happens to be on the lake with a dock. The house has four bedrooms plus a loft that easily sleeps 12-14 comfortably. We have a lot of board games and puzzles (including the latest expansion deck for Cards Against Humanity), but the game room also has a mini basketball hoop game, air hockey and an arcade game along with a TV projector for games or movies. A great place for the kids to hang out while the adults gather downstairs. The house has a private boat slip if you want bring your own boat. We also have a few kayaks and other water toys that guests are welcome to use.
