This place sits in the middle of a 566 acre ranch with a 25 acre lake just a short walking distance from the house. The lake was just rebuilt in 2022 so the fish aren’t trophies yet but you can catch catfish, bluegill and small bass. Sit and watch the deer and other wildlife from the porches, cook out on the back porch with the family, go for a nature walk or enjoy a nice fire from the living room or screened in porch fireplaces. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the marina ### Things to do - Fishing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101620000/101619800/101619758/38dde4bd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Stilt House on Lake Fork-Relax and Enjoy our Amenities Yantis - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 20 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=101619758&PinnedHotelID=101619758&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101990000/101983400/101983311/98f04d60.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakeside Retreat Summ Quitman - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.4 Very good 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=101983311&PinnedHotelID=101983311&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70040000/70035000/70034929/516b2c37.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake Fork Water Front with Boat Ramp and Private Dock Quitman - Pool - Hot tub - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=70034929&PinnedHotelID=70034929&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/83000000/82997300/82997272/fbe543ea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Lakehouse Mineola - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 26 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=82997272&PinnedHotelID=82997272&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76640000/76637300/76637273/178c3099.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stargazer Waterfront Luxe Retreat ✨Sand Beach 🎣Awesome Fishing🔥Campfires🛶Kayaks Mineola - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 103 reviews CA $228 CA $559 total includes taxes & fees Oct 5 - Oct 6 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-05&endDate=2025-10-06&selected=76637273&PinnedHotelID=76637273&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101270000/101263900/101263814/adf8367d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Near Lake Fork: Home w/ Fire Pit in Yantis!

Upon arrival there was a huge basket of snacks and goodies to enjoy. It was super clean and we all had room to spread out. Every bedroom had its own tv, which was very nice for our family of 5 to be able to relax and rest. Another perk was that our fur babies were able to enjoy it as well. I don’t even have the words to say how kind our host was. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing respite from the world. ##### Ashley T.
