★ALL COMMUNICATION MUST GO THROUGH THE BOOKING PLATFORM★ To help keep everything clear, secure, and easy to track, we ask that all communication before and during your stay takes place through the booking platform. Triple H Retreat has a few important guidelines for communication and guest expectations, and every booking guest is required to review and sign our **THR Rental Agreement**. Taking a quick look ahead of time helps answer most questions and ensures a smooth, stress-free stay.
Please keep an eye on your inbox—messages sent through the platform are the fastest way to reach us, and we respond as quickly as we can.
**Courtesy hours are 10 PM–8 AM** (unless it’s an emergency). If you expect to arrive or check in during courtesy hours, just send us a quick note in advance so we can plan accordingly. Once you’ve checked in, we’ll provide any additional contact options you may need.
Our host communicates remotely, and we also have nearby team members who help monitor and support the property. To protect the home and maintain a peaceful neighborhood, any situation that could create a community issue—or any violation of house rules—may result in guests being asked to leave and forfeiting remaining nights.
These guidelines are simply here to make sure everyone has a safe, respectful, and enjoyable stay at Triple H Retreat.
★Our home is in a simple, quiet neighborhood, so it’s best suited for relaxing stays rather than large parties or events. To help ensure a great fit for both our guests and the community, we may ask a few quick questions during the booking process. For everyone’s safety and to help care for the property, the exterior is monitored 24/7, and we may review exterior activity as needed during your stay. These measures help us protect the home and preserve the peaceful feel of the neighborhood.
★A friendly heads-up: some of our neighbors have free-range chickens.★ You may see them wandering around from time to time—please don’t touch, chase, or disturb them if they come onto the property. We really appreciate your kindness and respect toward our neighbors and their animals.
★PARKING We’re happy to offer convenient on-site parking. Our driveway can fit up to **4 vehicles** (depending on vehicle size). To help keep the property and neighborhood looking great, please **park in the driveway only**—no parking on the grass or on neighboring properties. Street parking is very limited in our area, so **parking for more than 4 vehicles isn’t feasible**. **Boat trailer parking** may be available **upon request**—just let us know in advance.
★FRONT DOOR LOCK For your security, each reservation receives a **unique door code**. Your code will be provided **once the full balance for your stay has been processed**.
★CAMERAS For the safety and security of our guests, the home, and the community, we use **exterior-only security cameras**. There are **4 outdoor cameras** that continuously record **audio and video**. To be completely clear: **there are no cameras or recording devices inside the home**—you’ll have **100% privacy indoors**.

Camera locations are: - **Camera #1:** Front door (front walkway) - **Camera #2:** Driveway/street view (covers the entire driveway) - **Camera #3:** Back patio (facing toward the dock) - **Camera #4:** North side of the home (yard/lake/street/shed view)

Location is AH-MAZING. Plenty of space for our crew and lots to keep us busy. We fished, we floated, we cooked in the awesome kitchen, we played games in the SUPER FUN game room. Very comfortable. Just like home with a much more beautiful view. We will be back!
From the moment we arrived we were in awe. Quiet neighborhood and big corner lot with plenty of room inside and outside with the most beautiful view. The host made us feel so special from all the little surprises and amenities that made us feel at home. Would recommend this home hands down the best little family getaway. We will be back for sure.. found our new traditional vaca spot!!
My husband and I had a great time fishing, kayaking, grilling and relaxing. The house is clean and is stocked very well. We brought all of our food and didn’t need to leave the house once. The game garage was a nice bonus. We will definitely be back.
We had a wonderful time at Triple H Retreat. The house has everything you need, super great location on the lake and perfect size for our family. My teens/young adults loved the bunk room which sleeps plenty!! Great areas to relax and hang out/play games together, etc. The house is on a quiet cul-de-sac and a super quiet part of the lake. We rarely saw another boater on the lake! Highly recommend this home! We will definitely stay again!
Ya'll! This was a great experience! Jennifer is an amazing hostess. She was always fast to respond and had great insights to ensure a wonderful vacation. The house was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed, plus more! Great location on the lake! The lake is huge! We had an absolute wonderful time and am very thankful to the time that Jennifer put in to help make it a great time.
This home has everything you might need or want for you and your family to enjoy a wonderful stay! Outstanding are the coffee bar, the large kitchen; fully supplied, the selections of games and books, the plush bedding, and the large covered porch.
The microwave died while we were there. I notified Jennifer and there was a new one on the front porch within an hour. What more can I say?
Great stay at the lake house. Location was perfect with unobstructed lake views. The house was very clean upon arrival and had all the things we needed. We had two kids, two infants and four adults. The second bedroom was a little small with a pack & play for our infant, but understandable given it wasn't the master suite which had plenty of room for another pack & play and great lake views. Dock was great and we used the kayaks in the inlet with our 3 year old which was alot of fun. Would recommend for a quick stay less than 2 hours from Dallas. Thank you Jennfier!

PERFECT GETAWAY
As Fall Break grew closer and closer, the requests for school activities piled up. Our plans for a week long retreat were gone. But Triple H Retreat was there for me and my FIVE Daughters. Just an hour away, we were out of DFW and lakeside in the beautiful country of East Texas in no time! The house is beautiful and spacious and the lake is calm and fun. We got less than a 48 hour break, but we ENJOYED EVERY SECOND at Triple H Retreat!

Always an absolute joy!
This is our second time staying at Triple H Retreat and it's quickly becoming our happy place at the lake! Clean, chock full of amenities, wonderfully decorated, and very spacious (the patio is my FAVE!) We took another couple and between us had 3 kids and everything was just perfection as usual! This time we did some guided fishing tours and everyone (including the kids!) had an absolute blast (plus we brought home enough fresh fish to eat for weeks ha ha ha) - bonus was that they were able to just pick us up directly from the dock at Triple H! If you're looking for a getaway I couldn't recommend Triple H and hosts Jenny and Dan enough, they will make your stay absolutely phenomenal! Thanks again, you know we'll be back soon!!!
We rented this home for Labor Day weekend as a group of college friends getting together. Even though the house isn't huge, it's set up great and was plenty of room for 11 adults to sleep and live comfortably for the weekend. The location on the lake is great, perfect if you want to fish or quickly get out on the main channel. Would definitely stay here again.
