Waterfront - Winding Trail Lodge, Sleeps 6, Enjoy Amenities on Holly Lake Ranch

Winding Trail Lodge has it all! A spacious, living area with a wonderful fireplace with lots of room to gather and visit, overlooking one of the clearest lakes around - perfect for fishing, canoeing or just lounging on the dock. Located inside Holly Lake Ranch, East Texas’ premier gated-vacation resort, you’ll enjoy amenities such as hiking trails, swimming pools, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, fishing, canoeing, golfing, not to mention an activities center with a game room, a mini-theater and 2 restaurants on premises. This fully-furnished, 3-bedroom, single-level lodge with a massive picture window is perfect for families, girl's or guy's getaway or 3 couples just wanting to get away from the big city for a while.

We offer a canoe to use for a relaxing time on this small private lake with no public access. You are welcome to bring kayaks as well. This lake does not allow boats with motors. Many fish have been caught off our private boat dock.

100 miles east of Dallas and within minutes of Mineola, Gladewater and Jefferson with scores of antique shops, lakes, wineries and some of the best motorcycle riding in the country, you may find yourself saying, “Do we have to go back”?

Please note that as of April 1, 2022 there will be a fee for guests to bring motored watercraft in to Holly Lake Ranch to use on the private lakes. The fee is $50 and is good for three days for watercraft on Lake Greenbriar or Holly Lake.

Great Place for a Relaxing Stay!
Owners were great to work with! The house was clean and beautiful. Great location in Holly Lake Ranch with easy access to all the amenities. Everything you need was supplied by the owners. The lake was quiet and we enjoyed kayaking and fishing. This rental has everything you need for an enjoyable relaxing stay. Highly recommended.

Peaceful and Private
Even though the home is in a neighborhood we felt completely secluded due to all of the trees. Viewing the lake from the living room windows, deck, or dock was very peaceful. We were a little surprised by the overgrowth of foliage on the grounds since the pictures show it to be cleared, but the kids enjoyed playing on the deck and all of the community amenities offered. We enjoyed the home, and the hosts were very accommodating and quick to reply. Wwereweresurprised by the

Solar Eclipse at Holly Lake Ranch
Over a year ago, we started looking for a place with natural beauty and within the band of totality during the April 8th Solar Eclipse. We also needed someplace affordable and although we zeroed in on Texas, it seemed that many places didn't meet our requirements. Holly Lake Ranch met all our needs and more. What a gorgeous and restful setting and a completely comfortable and clean home. The huge windows that look out into the trees and the path leading to the lake was my favorite thing and it's captivating. My daughter, son-in-law and son came for the eclipse and we enjoyed playing games, laughing, enjoying a great meal at "A taste of Italy" and then the eclipse and a BBQ on the deck. (The BBQ looked brand new!) A rainstorm moved in that night and the lightning was impressive through the picture windows. The kids left the next day but we stayed on, listening to the rain, reading in perfect comfort and stepping out for a meal in the evenings. So relaxing! We really hated to say goodbye to this beautiful home and it's wonderful surroundings.

Relaxing
The house was nice and relaxing. Just an fyi…bathroom right side sink is plumbed backwards (hit and cold) and has a slow drip. The jet tub also has a slow drip. Only one sharp knife. We did love the house overall.

Another great stay!
This was our 4th stay with our two adult children and their spouses. The house is very cozy with an open floor layout in the front and it accommodates 6 adults very comfortably. It’s nice to just relax with a cup of coffee and watch the lake from the large windows inside or the outside deck or dock. The grazing deer were plentiful this year. We also dined at the Red Rooster and Taste of Italy, which are only about 20 minutes from the house. We have never been disappointed, which is why we keep coming back!

Great Get-Away
This was our third time to stay at this lake house, went there to relax and and enjoy nature.. mission accomplished. Bonus got to see some deer on the property and catch some fish off the house dock. Could not ask for a nicer place to stay with all the accommodations and the most wonderful Property Managers Joe and Carolyn.

Beautiful place to reset
The property was absolutely breath takingl! It was surrounded by trees with a clear view of a beautiful lake. We enjoyed time outdoors with a hike, fishing, and a trip around the lake in the canoe provided. The owner thought of absolutely everything to make the trip easy, even providing life jackets. Nothing beat welcoming the sunrise on that dock. We also enjoyed some of the amenities, such as the pool. Everyone was kind and welcoming. Communication with the property manager was prompt and helpful. It was the perfect reset before the start of the school year and we cannot wait to go back! This will definitely be a new family tradition.
