Lakefront updated home on Lake Palestine near Tyler TX
Relaxing waterfront cabin in a prime location on Lake Palestine. Come enjoy the East Texas pines on a large lot looking out over the water. Unwind around the fire pit, dine on the open deck or screened porch, and sit on the dock at sunset, or enjoy a morning coffee on the balcony - there are so many places to relax. This beautiful, updated home features large dining & entertaining spaces. Fully stocked kitchen with SS appliances and gorgeous granite counters includes plates, cookware, and utensils all available. Thee is a single ground coffee cup option and larger format Mr. Coffee pot available with 2 small ground coffee packets, some creamer and sweetener to get you started. Enjoy the ping pong table, basketball court, bring your own hammock for our hammock stand, feel free to use our kayaks and paddleboards, and be sure to catch a sunset or sunrise on the dock.
We had a great time at the lake. Outdoor space was excellent. Shaded pier worked very well for swimming and fishing. Note, water is only 4 ft deep off pier. Host included extras like essentials for making smores, sun screen, and bug spray. Each of the top bunks are only rated for 120 lb. My opinion is that the info should state 8 adults and 2 kids as max capacity. We had to have one person sleep on floor with mattresses.
We very much enjoyed our stay. The home was comfortable and you can't beat the lake front views. Plenty of room for all of us.I highly recommended a stay in this beautiful vacation rental.
Had a wonderful four night getaway to celebrate our daughterâs birthday as well as Easter. We loved the accommodations and the screened in covered porch overlooking the lake. Kids and adults both enjoyed catching fish off of the covered dock. Paddle boards, kayaks, lifejackets were provided. We had two small children, so we brought our own lifejackets, which I would recommend to make sure thereâs a good fit. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to create lots of tasty meals during our stay. Canât say enough good things about our experience. Look forward to making this a yearly trip. -Beth
Great place for family time. Just not for lake time in March.
We loved the property, and the house was lovely for what we wanted and needed. We took our grandchildren and allowed their parents to tag along with us. ;) In spite of the wind and cold, everyone still had a great time together. March is not a great time of year to go to any lake in Texas; we Coloradans are finding out. Since it is unpredictable in March, we will go someplace that is guaranteed not to be cold and windy for our spring break next year. You cannot take advantage of being on a lake in March, but come May, it's where you'll want to be for fun, sun, and family time.
The weather didn't co-operate but that was no problem! The screened in porch made an amazing hangout and Leslie was on top of everything! The only issue we had was that the cleaning lady was at the house at check in time and we had to ride around a bit....and that was no fault of the home owner! We are planning a time to go back in the summer and can't wait! The bottom of the lake is sandy and slopped at the dock and will be PERFECT for swimming and water activities!
This property was as advertised. It was a bit tight for 8 people (4 adults + 4 children), but everyone had a comfy bed to sleep in. The neighborhood was not as expected, but the property itself was lovely with a great view and access to the lake (lots of fishing!). I would stay at this property again with fewer people. Were happy with our stay!
Everything you need to have a great long weekend or extended stay. Beautiful home on a gorgeous lot! Great dock to fish from with pretty views. Thanks again for the wonderful weekend!!
This group of four ladies have been on many trips together over the last 15 years, and this was by far our favorite location. The lake house was spectacular - clean, comfortable, plenty of room to gather or have individual space, excellent amenities, well appointed kitchen with EVERYTHING we could have needed. Appreciated the welcoming touches of signage/instructions - even Sâmores makings, though sadly we didnât partake. We initially were drawn to the property because of the many relaxing outdoor gathering areas, and these didnât disappoint - screened in porch for morning coffee, outside deck for lunch, fire pit area, and adult beverages on the dock watching the sunset. Wow! The weather was perfect and we all agreed this was one of our favorite adventures. We also got tickets for the last Wine Train of the season on the Texas State Railroad. If you have a chance to go, you wonât be disappointed. Thanks for sharing your lovely home, Leslie. It was definitely the getaway we all needed!
Great place for a weekend getaway for the family. Enjoyed our stay, good fishing, beautiful scenery, and memories made. Communication with the host has been fantastic.
The house was great, right on the lake with its own dock and all the amenities were there. Our problems were with the owner. Sheâs got notes ALL over the place, which most times can be helpful, but this time it felt intrusive. âDonât use too much toilet paper!â Put it all in a book of house rules. Our 1st convo was her instructing us to limit showering and not to use the washer due to recent high rainfall. Itâs hot& the lake smells like fish and youâre asking us to not take showers? She then said that thereâs an extra lockbox in case the electronic lock on the front door doesnât work. It didnât work, and it took her almost 30min to get back to me to get the code for this lockbox âi havenât used in a while, I hope the codeâs correct!â The lock didnât respond multiple times throughout our visit and at one point the code itself wasnât working, which made it difficult for the 5 of us to have our own plans with just 1 key. She then used her smart thermostat in the house to change the temp we had set it to without our knowledge! We woke in the night sweating and uncomfortable b/c of that. I canât believe that someone would do that to their guests. Apparently, in her house youâre not allowed to go outside of 73-78F, which wasnât posted in her many notes throughout the house. I we did have it pretty low, but it seems sheâs concerned w/ saving $, not her guestâs comfort. Have fun with that.
Peaceful and beautiful. The ONLY thing that could have made this experience better was more time there! The house had everything you could need. It was cute, comfortable and very clean. The back porch and deck and boat dock were awesome. I caught nine fish off the walk to the dock in less than an hour. We sure hope to become regulars at this spot. Leslie is an excellent host. Thank you so much.
We loved this home - it had everything we needed and we loved that it was right on the water! Communication with Leslie was easy and helpful. Would stay here again in a heartbeat if we are back in the area. Thank you!
If your looking for peace and quiet, this is the place. Spent our anniversary weekend here and enjoyed the taking walks, sitting around the fire and on the porch overlooking the lake. Leslie was a great host with awesome communication.
We really enjoyed time out on the dock, very relaxing. Home is very nice and updated. Great location. It was actually cold enough to enjoy a fire in the fire pit with smores. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area.
Mom of 3 boys. We have so many wonderful family memories at this home. We come out as often as possible in between the kids crazy extra curricular schedules. I hope you find as much enjoyment here as we do!
With such great open spaces and so many places to relax, this is the perfect spot for family and friends. The screened porch is so nice in the rain or to escape mosquitos. The open deck is wonderful for an open air dinner by the grill. The firepit landing is perfect for late night lounging and star gazing and the dock is the SPOT for sunsets. We fell in love with this home right away and have never looked back.
This property is in a wonderful spot on the lake - near deep water and the dam- and we would be happy to recommend boat rentals or jet ski rentals as well.
