About this property
The Serene Getaway
Escape to Your Lakeside Oasis: Just 90 Minutes from Dallas
Unwind and recharge at our serene lakehouse, a peaceful retreat enveloped by a canopy of trees. Wake up to breathtaking views of the lake, with the only sounds being the gentle lapping of water and the rustle of leaves. It's the perfect escape from the hustle of city life.
Spend your days casting a line off our brand-new dock—the fishing here is fantastic! When you're ready to cool off, a private swimming area is just steps away. In the evenings, gather on the spacious deck for a meal with a view, or roast marshmallows and share stories around the brand-new lakeside fire pit as the stars come out.
Our property comfortably sleeps 8 and features two separate buildings. The main house has two bedrooms and one full bathroom. A separate, detached bunkhouse provides the third bedroom and a second full bathroom, offering a private space for part of your group.
While the setting feels wonderfully secluded, you're only minutes from charming local spots. Explore the unique shops and delightful dining in downtown Mineola, or take a short drive to Lindale (15 mins) or Tyler (30 mins) for more options.
Your lakeside retreat awaits.

Amazing place on the water. We had a great time and didn’t want to leave! We participated in the Big Bass Splash and were conveniently located to Lake Fork! The host was beyond helpful in everyway!! We lacked nothing staying here! We Will definitely be back!!
It was a great visit and stay at this location. We didn't realize it was two different structures until we were almost there. It did say it in part of the listing, but we had to dig for it. It all worked out great though! The outdoor space is amazing!
This property was everything as advertised and much more. The kitchen was well equipped. There was firewood for the fire pit and chairs on the dock. It is an easy walk to the lake and very peaceful. The beds were all clean and comfortable. We did not encounter any problems whatsoever, but I felt like Tommy would take care of anything if there was. Very, very happy!
Our family really enjoyed our trip to this cute Lake House. The farmhouse kitchen was sweet and very clean. The beds were so comfortable that I took a picture of the tag so that I can order me that same mattress. Our over all trip was perfect. The Lilypad Lake Float was a ton of fun. We will definitely book through Tommy again the next time we come to visit my Aunt in mineola , Texas. Gina
We really enjoyed our stay at Tommy’s place. It was very homey and Tommy was responsive before and throughout our stay. I didn’t realize this when we booked but the two twin bunkers are actually in a room detached from the main cottage. While our kids (7 &5) didn’t get up the courage to sleep on their own in that room they loved it as their little retreat to watch shows, at, etc. which was also great for my mom and I because we’d maintain the main part of the house.

We love traveling & staying at different properties and this was a fabulous Thanksgiving getaway!
The property itself was clean, quiet, so much to do. Gorgeous dock to fish off of & cozy fire pit to sit around. The house has EVERYTHING you need. The downtown of Mineola is very quaint for shopping & has several restaurants. The host was beyond accommodating. We will definitely be back in the summer & plan on renting the boat next time.
A Must stay!!!!! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It was a quick getaway for me and my daughter. We had a fishing tournament. The host were great on helping me get inside with the door code. I was having slight problem. It was at 10:00. Appreciate them answering at that time. Place was clean and beds were soft. Bathrooms were modern and clean. It is close to Lake Fork, but on a smaller lake. This is nice as well. Will come back.
This property is amazing. The host is super friendly and answers. Any questions you might have immediately definitely recommend and we will definitely go back.
Great experience! The host was super friendly and responsive, the home was clean and had everything we needed. Fishing was great, we caught bass and catfish galore. We loved it so much we immediately booked it again for our sons birthday weekend!
I know it’s a lake front but I would have had the back deck cleaned up a little more and all the cobwebs cleaned off the dock. Only complaint. Otherwise it was a great place to stay!! Very clean. Comfortable!!
The house was perfect for us! It had everything we needed and the location was great for an event we were attending on the other side of the lake. We will definitely be back for another stay. Thank you!
This has to be the most wonderful place to spend a vacation. The lake was beautiful and peaceful. I recommend staying here for your next stress free getaway
Me and my co workers all stayed while we were out on a job in the area this stay was better than a hotel you have the view of the lake, very quiet and peaceful, very clean and comfy will definitely book again for a family trip or if I am out here for work.
