About this property

Beautiful East Texas Cottage on Private Lake - VRBO Premier Property

GET THE FAMILY AWAY TO THE COUNTRY! FRESH, OPEN AIR. FISHING AND BOATING ON THE LAKE. AS PUBLIC OR PRIVATE AS YOU LIKE!

Come enjoy this 2100 sq. ft. guest house on the lake at beautiful Holly Lake Ranch just north of Tyler in the rolling hills and forests of East Texas. All fully furnished to make your stay relaxing. You can enjoy the lake view from the rocking chairs on the full length back porch. The clubhouse for the 18 hole golf course is only a block away. Fishing is great on the two private lakes as well.

Something for everyone!! Plan a visit to First Monday in Canton or visit Gladewater the Antique Capital of East Texas only 25 miles away. We are located in the heart of the Piney Woods Wine Trail with several wineries only a short drive away. It is only 30 miles to Tyler (45 min to Longview) for shopping, dining, movies, etc. An enormous variety of birds are on the property year round or migrating through. You might even see one of our magnificent bald eagles soaring over the lake or golf course!

If you need some down time, relax in a rocker on the back porch and gaze at our peaceful lake, beautiful sunrises and spectacular sunsets. Come and visit us and we are sure to see you again next year in our part of beautiful East Texas.

Enjoy our Outdoor Patio, Pergola and Fire Pit on the lake. Plan to enjoy an evening under the stars by the fire toasting marshmallows and telling tales.

GOLFERS – Our pro and his staff are constantly working to make the course better and better. The improvements are noticeable making for a fun and challenging round of golf.

BOATS
FREE! Two man, trolling motor powered, flat bottom boat and a canoe are available for guest usage free with signed liability waiver. Usage subject to availability.
RENTAL! A pontoon boat for cruising the lake! Bring an ice chest, drinks and snacks. Room for 8 - 10 people for a fun day on the water. Great for Crappie fishing! Not the best bass boat, but equipped with a trolling motor, two fishing seats each front and back and adequate in a pinch. Inquire if you are interested and we can send you rates and details.

NOTE: A daily fee applies for launching/operating your private boat, jet ski, etc on the lake. Check with owner before booking if this is important to you.

Take advantage of the lower Sunday to Wednesday rates for extending your stay or to take advantage of a lower cost trip if coming during the week works for your group. (Most stays.)
Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and 3 bathrooms. Limited housekeeping is available.

We had an AMAZING time with Family and Friends! This home is wonderful and has great views. If you're a fisher you will be thrilled. If you enjoy sipping on coffee, tea, or whatever, you'll enjoy the back porch. I can't say enough about Dennis, he is extremely welcoming. Our experience was a 10 out of 10.

Beuatiful location

The lake, that was right out our back door, was beautiful and so peaceful. The house was cozy, comfortable and just darling. Golf course was well kept and beautiful as well. Dennis was very accommodating as was his wife, they were very informative and friendly. We had all the privacy we desired and will certainly return when time and life allows.

Excellent Family Trip

Even from before we booked this location, Dennis provided excellent communication from the start. The home was clean and provided everything we asked for and then some. The four bedrooms worked out amazingly well, and even the singles were comfortable. Our family enjoyed an extended weekend fishing on the lake and enjoyed time in the home. The pool was closed at the time we visited so we can't provide info there. But, we couldn't have asked for more. We would love to come back!

The lake house was beautiful and the host was above and beyond friendly. He and his wife were available when needed but did a great job giving us our group privacy. It made for such a pleasant experience. And the added touch of the home baked cookies upon our arrival was the perfect touch. The house was clean and did I say beautiful?? The community had fabulous amenities, too. I would highly recommend this rental for your next Texas vacation.
