Great place to relax and enjoy the local area (Jefferson downtown and Caddo Lake). House is remote and feels very private. Very clean and lots of special touches like snacks, water, and toiletries provided. Host was very responsive and helped us with a special request. Big TV’s in every room. Didn’t do any cooking in, but pots and pans looked to be in good condition. Washer and dryer were new and large (detergent provided). Overall a really good stay.

This property was great for some family fun, fishing, kayaking, and paddle boarding (we brought our own equipment). The host is amazing at communication. The lake view is beautiful, especially from the screened in back porch. The walk down to the lake is a little steep (there are stairs and a pathway) so just a heads up in case you plan on bringing grandma and grandpa. There are board games available and each living room space has it's own TV.

I have stayed at many vacation properties, but this was one of the best! The amenities were great and the hostess provided many complimentary items. We loved sitting on the screen porch in the evening watching the deer by the shoreline, and in the morning fishermen trolling. Just a 15 minute drive into Jefferson. I hope we have another opportunity to visit and stay at the Lakeside Retreat.

The house was clean, tidy, comfortable. We totally enjoyed our stay. The owners were amazing and we visited with them during our stay. The owners furnished snacks coffee pods, bottled water, bath essentials, etc. Kitchen was stocked with everything and then some. We will plan another stay as soon as we can.

We enjoyed our time in Jefferson. The peace and quiet while sitting on the screened in porch was restful. Covered parking was perfect especially when we returned from one outing in a downpour. But keeping the car out of the hot Texas sun was also a bonus.

Farm Work Weekend

We had our family gather together for a work weekend at a farm near Lake of the Pines. It was such a joy to be able to come “home” to a relaxing and welcoming home. We had plenty of room to eat supper together as a family and spread out to relax afterwards. The amenities and atmosphere was exceptional!

My party and I were thoroughly impressed with everything. We have not one bad thing to say. In fact, I was instructed by members of my party to leave,” An excellent review !” This place was is immaculate. Members in our other parties had an issue with the location that they were staying in; I contacted my host to see if they may have had any other properties or knew of any at around 9:00 pm Friday night and they got back with me immediately with a possible resolution. Being that it was the Fourth of July weekend, I was impressed with how quickly they got back in touch with me. The view of the lake from the fenced in patio, balcony area was excellent. The neighbors were very hospitable. We will definitely be going back.
