C Thanksgiving

Kristin is a great host when communicating with the whole process from beginning to end. Staying in a lakefront property even in winter was great. Our family enjoyed sunrises and sunsets with hot coffee watching the amazing views off the back deck.The fire pit was a nice touch. There was plenty of room for all twelve of us. Will definitely try to stay here again. Thank you Kristin.

Perfect Getaway

My husband and I rented this home for a long weekend just to get away (but still be close to home to go do farm chores a couple times a day). It's a beautiful house and the owners are responsive and accommodating! The master bedroom was gorgeous and the secondary bedrooms were large and beautiful. It would be great for a family or friend getaway. We caught a couple of fish off the pier and had just a genuinely relaxing weekend. Thanks so much and we'd definitely book again!

Best place we have ever stayed

It was beautiful, inviting , comfortable, relaxing, everything we needed. We did not expect it to be so wonderful as it was! The dock was just outside and down the stairs! There were plenty of llifejjackets. Our host was very kind and always available for any questions. She anticipated our needs and was 'Johnny on the spot' with answers.

About the host

Hosted by Kristin Harris

Host profile image
Original southeast coast natives, we were married on a lake. Pridefully calling North Texas home for nearly a decade, we dreamed of recreating memories of former weekend lake escapes for our children. Lakeside Lanai has been that longing fulfilled. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do and it becomes a home away from home for you and your loved ones.

Why they chose this property

All rooms lead to the lake in this freshly painted & naturally flowing home packed with natural light & hard surface flooring throughout. Let your stress melt away as you are immediately greeted from the front door to lake views! Make memories here with loved ones while everyone enjoys their separate bedroom spaces. Multiple entertaining and dining spaces for all to enjoy comfortably. The home offers 3,000+ square feet of indoor and outdoor living and dining spaces for your loved ones gathering, all with 180-degree views of Lake Bridgeport. Nearby golf, marinas, dining and shopping areas abound within as little as a 10 min. drive.

What makes this property unique

The absolute peace and tranquility that comes from sitting on the back deck rocking in the chairs watching the sunrises and sunsets. The height of the deck and the closeness to the shore make it seem like you're hovering above the water, giving the appearance as if, you leaned over far enough you'd perhaps fall in. The gentle breeze, waves against rock and birds taking flight for supper make for quiet enjoyment. Compared to other homes in the area, our property is easily accessible by public roads and only a quick turn from Highway 380, which makes the city of Bridgeport and other area sites a quick drive away. Our property sits right at the shoreline making a quick walk to the water with none of the more common steep inclines for the area.
