A public boat ramp is less than a mile from the home. Other outdoor activities abound nearby, including hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, canoeing and kayaking.

Please Note: CLEAN, DRAIN AND DRY your boat, trailer, livewells/bait buckets, and other gear before traveling to another water body to avoid spreading zebra mussels.

This lake is a source of water for Eagle Mountain Lake & Lake Worth. Be sure to check water levels, as they can fluctuate an average of 12 feet annually and may impact the ability to tie off your watercraft at the provided dock due to Highway 380 bridge. If fishing, state law requires you have a license unless under age 17. Buy your license online. 100% of your license fees go toward conservation efforts and secures the future of fishing in Texas.

Helpful things to consider packing include: propane tank for grilling, firewood for roasting marshmallows, lifejackets of specific sizes, beach towels, bait & fishing poles, sunscreen, bug spray, sunglasses, blue tooth speaker, adult beverages of choice, snacks & other food items.

Perfect Getaway
My husband and I rented this home for a long weekend just to get away (but still be close to home to go do farm chores a couple times a day). It's a beautiful house and the owners are responsive and accommodating! The master bedroom was gorgeous and the secondary bedrooms were large and beautiful. It would be great for a family or friend getaway. We caught a couple of fish off the pier and had just a genuinely relaxing weekend. Thanks so much and we'd definitely book again!

Amazing vacation
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting a 5 star stay. The host responses to any questions were prompt, the house was clean, views were amazing, the fishing was fun, and the back porch was relaxing. I will be back again. Worth ever penny!

Great lakehouse for the family!
This was the perfect lake house for our family to get together and enjoy Labor Day weekend! The house has all the amenities you need at the lake as well as comfortable sleeping arrangements for 3 families with kiddos. We look forward to coming back in the future.

Best place we have ever stayed
It was beautiful, inviting , comfortable, relaxing, everything we needed. We did not expect it to be so wonderful as it was! The dock was just outside and down the stairs! There were plenty of llifejjackets. Our host was very kind and always available for any questions. She anticipated our needs and was 'Johnny on the spot' with answers.
