Come Enjoy the Quiet Side of Lake Life

The lake may be low right now, but lake life is still calling. ❤️

If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, a place to unplug, spend time with family and friends, watch beautiful sunsets, grill, relax, and simply slow down… our lake house is ready for you.

✨ Peaceful surroundings
🌅 Gorgeous sunsets
🏡 Comfortable lake-house living
🔥 Relaxing evenings with family & friends
🌿 A quiet escape from the everyday hustle

Sometimes the best getaway isn’t about having a packed itinerary—it’s about having a beautiful place to breathe, relax, and reconnect.

Come enjoy the quiet side of lake life. ❤️

The breathtaking waterside lake views make this home a perfect place to leave everything behind and take in the lake life. With two porches, a large backyard, and there are more than enough places for you to relax and enjoy the tranquility of living on a lake.

This spacious 2-story home boasts two full living areas and the kitchen is a home cook's dream. The home is large enough for two families but is intimate enough for just a single family or couple. One of the most amazing and unique features of this home is the huge pecan tree growing through the eaves on the second story. Hence, THE TREEHOUSE ON THE LAKE.

The home is located in a quiet protected cove on the lake.

If you are interested in spending time out of doors, there are two back porches on this house....one on the second floor and one on the first. On the first floor porch we have two dining areas where you can enjoy a meal or your morning coffee.

It's more than likely you will catch glimpses of blue herons, egrets, and other wading birds in addition to cardinals, blue jays, and hummingbirds. If you are lucky, you may even spy one of the resident bald eagles known to soar in the area.

The backyard is huge and equipped with a fire pit for those after dinner s'mores or to warm yourself on a cool evening. Plus, the stargazing is unreal.

The owners are Stacie and Craig, and this is the only property we manage so we are able to offer family friendly service while responding promptly to any inquiries you may have. We live in the DFW area and understand the need to get away and take a break in a safe, serene setting with family and friends. We consider this home a dream house and would love to share it with you.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful lake view, quiet neighborhood, spacious interior, and found our communication responsive throughout your stay. We’re sorry the weather and outdoor conditions during your visit limited your ability to enjoy the upper and lower porches. The outdoor spaces are an important part of the property, and we understand that extreme heat can make them less comfortable at certain times of the year. We appreciate your feedback and are always looking for ways to maintain and improve the property so our guests can enjoy both the home and its outdoor spaces.

Inside the Home was very clean and Layout of home is wonderful and unique. There is a whole other private apartment upstairs’, and another great view of Lake. AC works great and we slept great! View of Lake is beautiful, and close to the Marina.Outside of home needs some cleanup, pine needles everywhere. Lake is very low right now, had to use neighbors boat ramp to swim in lake, with neighbors approval. Even if lake were full, ladder on dock is great for young people. Adults might have some difficulty.Overall, I would stay there again!

We booked the Tool Lake/Tree House VRBO because we were to be attending a wedding in Mabank.

The home is beautiful. We even saw one of the Bald Eagles and loads of ducks and some squirrels. It was extremely peaceful. We truly enjoyed our stay. We would highly recommend it to future travelers.

Why they chose this property

The house is located on a quiet street with many local full time residents. Please respect their privacy and there’s no late night outdoor music. Absolutely no fireworks on the property. Please do not get into the landscaped areas. This is lake property so we do have wildlife and snakes so please be cautious.
