The cabin was great. Lots of space. Great bathrooms. The geese were noisy all night long and the roosters start crowing at 5 am.

Great Place For A Local Get Away
We enjoyed the weekend at the house very much. We had a boat so we were able to launch at a public boat ramp and spend part of Saturday on the lake. The house is secluded and private - care taker was a available and helpful by text message. Lots of inside and outside spaces for friends to gather and there’s a nice big kitchen for family meals. We would stay again since it’s also close to DFW.
