About this property
Monkey Island Escape sleeps 8, surrounded by nature with views of Grand Lake.
Welcome to your perfect lake escape. Nestled on a quiet, half acre lot on Monkey Island under the shade of Oak and Pecan trees, this beautifully renovated 1950s farmhouse has been reborn with touches of modern style and comforts, offering a serene escape for families, friends, or couples looking to unwind. With views of Grand Lake, this four-bedroom, two-bath haven sleeps eight comfortably and is designed for those who appreciate nature, and comfort. The open-concept living and dining area invites conversation and connection, while the fully equipped kitchen—with updated appliances and ample counter space—makes meal prep a breeze. Two full bathrooms provide convenience for groups, and four thoughtfully appointed bedrooms promise a restful night’s sleep. Outside, a large porch beckons with chairs and lake views. Sip your morning coffee as the mist lifts off the water, or enjoy an evening glass of wine as the sun dips below the trees. Deer, foxes, and a beaver frequent the area, and the sounds of birdsong and rustling leaves offer a soothing backdrop to your stay. Centrally located on Grand Lake and located just minutes from Tera Miranda Marina and the world-class Shangri-La Resort, you'll have easy access to local food spots, shopping, boating, golf, and spa experiences. Whether you're out on the lake, curled up with a good book, playing in the backyard, or doing a puzzle, this peaceful retreat offers the best of both relaxation and recreation. Reconnect with nature. Recharge with comfort. Reserve your stay at this Monkey Island Escape and experience lake life at its finest.

Stay was awesome, and loved the fully stocked kitchen so we could cook our meals and not have to eat out all the time during our lake adventure. Host was very friendly and responded in a timely fashion. Beautiful property and close to lake. Loved the views in the morning.
We had a wonderful stay at Monkey Island Escape! The check-in process was very easy. The owner was very quick to respond to a question. The home was very clean. Everything seemed new! The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was very well-equipped. The owners thought of everything, including coffee and hot chocolate! It was also located in a very nice, quiet area. My friends and I hope to come back and stay here again!
The photos were accurate of the interior of the house, which looks recently remodeled. The beds were very comfortable. It was great to have a fenced in yard for our dog. We had planned a cookout one night but the grill and deck needed a good cleaning.
