About this property

Almost 200ft of Shoreline at a Newly Renovated Gaines Bend Retreat!

A completely renovated lakefront retreat on one of Possum Kingdom's most coveted addresses — Gaines Bend. Nearly 200 feet of private shoreline, a wall of windows facing the water, and enough room for three families to spread out and never step on each other. Luxury finishes, zero pretension.
________________________________________
The Space
Sleep up to 13 guests across five dedicated sleeping spaces: three private bedrooms each with king-sized beds, a custom bunk room with built-in bunks, individual reading lights and storage for every sleeper, a loft, and a large game room with a queen pull-out for overflow. Whether you're coordinating a multi-family Fourth of July or a big extended family reunion, everyone has their own place to land.
Inside, the open living area is anchored by a wall of windows and sliding glass doors that frame the lake like a painting. The kitchen is fully loaded — two dishwashers included, because nobody came to PK to do dishes.
________________________________________
The Outdoor Kitchen
This isn't a grill on a patio. The fully equipped outdoor kitchen features a Big Green Egg, a full gas grill, granite counters, a sink, and an outdoor TV — all under a covered tongue-and-groove ceiling. Pull up a stool at the outdoor island and cook while the kids play in the yard. It's the kind of setup that turns a Tuesday into a dinner party.
________________________________________
The Yard & Covered Patio
The yard is genuinely one of the best on the Gaines Bend peninsula — wide, green, and shaded by mature trees. The covered outdoor living area with cushioned seating, ceiling fan, and those sweeping sliding glass doors gives you a front-row seat to the water without leaving the shade. Adirondack chairs, a picnic table, and hammocks round out the outdoor spaces. Fire pit under the stars at night.
________________________________________
The Water
Nearly 200 feet of private shoreline with a full stone retaining wall and stair access connects the yard directly to the water. The dock is a destination in itself — a covered outdoor lounge with string lights, a full sofa, a porch swing, and all the good vibes that come with watching the sun go down over PK. Water carpet off the dock for swimming, three kayaks with life jackets for exploring, and easy tie-up access if you're arriving by boat. Hell's Gate is five minutes away.
Binoculars provided — the wildlife watching from the dock is worth it.
________________________________________
The Game Room
Rainy afternoon? Late night after the kids are wound up? The game room has you covered — basketball arcade game, telescope for stargazing, and a queen pull-out for overflow sleeping. The loft above adds another layer of fun for kids who want their own perch.
