The dock of the bay was simply stunning. The lake view and water activities were wonderful. Pretty friendly with large fenced back yard. Home was clean and very well supplied. The host was responsive. Me and my family had a wonderful, relaxing time. Would definitely do it again.

We had a wonderful stay at this lake house. It was the perfect setting for a relaxing family escape, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy themselves.The dock and outdoor spaces were definitely a highlight. We spent a lot of time outside relaxing, taking in the lake views, and enjoying the peaceful setting. It gave our family the chance to slow down, reconnect, and really enjoy the trip. (Having towels down at the boat dock was an especially nice touch for the kiddos swimming!)The house also had plenty to keep all ages and interests busy, which made it easy for everyone to have a good time. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed for meals during our stay. Everyone agreed we need to stay here again!

The Lake house was beautiful. The outside had a gorgeous view with covered docks which was so nice because we had a little rain. The property was clean, with so many amenities. It was the perfect place for our group of 10. We will definitely be renting property again.

About the host

Hosted by Joyce Repsher

Host profile image
Having being Texans for over 30 years, this lake house was the shared vision of my late husband "Doc" and me--the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Dallas. Tucked away in a quiet cove, it offers magnificent sunsets, comfortable living, and endless water activities right at your fingertips. It is an ideal retreat for families of all ages to relax, reconnect, and enjoy time together.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood for its quiet atmosphere and uninterrupted lake views, free from facing the intense west summer sun. It feels like a true retreat, yet it is conveniently close to grocery stores, restaurants, and only a 30-minute drive from Tyler, TX.
