Lake view
The location was perfect. Right on the lake. You can see the view of the lake from all rooms. The dock with its swings was perfect. The kayaks were a huge hit. The fire pit was well stocked with firewood. A very enjoyable time with family

The weather wasn't kind to us this trip but we still had a great time. There's something about just being at the lake that provides peace and serenity. Staying at the Lakeside Getaway always does that for me.

Great Family Getaway
This was a perfect choice for our family (three generations) to get together at the lake. Our stay was just what we wanted, a beautiful house, plenty of room, secluded, quiet, great dock for swimming and fishing. The house is fully stocked with everything you need so you never have to leave. Brent and Rosy were great hosts. Highly recommend.

Great location
We absolutely enjoyed the cabin on the lake. We even caught some fish! We rented a pontoon for the day and got to tie it up at the dock. Very convenient! The house was very clean and well stocked. They thought of everything! The grandkids enjoyed fishing on the dock as well and loved the game room. Let’s not forget about the view of the lake.. it has the most amazing view! We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone needing a relaxing vacay on the water!

Amazing Eclipse Experience!
What a spectacular way to experience the Great North American Eclipse in April 2024! This spot was beautiful and so peaceful. The decks and outdoor amenities are perfect for taking in sunrise, the lake, the birds, thunderstorms and all that this gorgeous place has to offer. Inside was tidy, spacious and well stocked. The beds and furniture were comfortable and welcoming. Brent was an excellent host, and communication and logistics were smooth. Thank tou!

Bob Sandlin Lake House
Our stay was perfect. My husband and I met my daughter and son in law. My husband caught several bass fish daily! The early fall weather was the perfect mix for nighttime fires/s’mores & our dog loved the lake swims. The details covered by the host are outstanding. Everything you need for a magical family trip. We will be back!!!

Annual Family Lake Trip
This is the 7th year our family has taken a fall lake trip. For many years we visited the same location and loved it, then it was sold. Last year we tried our first NEW location, and were disappointed. So this year finding this gem was truly a gift. The house, the lot, the dock, the lake all hit it out of the park. Our family was sad to leave and so looking forward to returning sooner rather than next fall.

Pictures don’t do it justice
There were 7 in our group ranging from age 7-46 that included our children & grandchildren. This house was perfect for fitting all of our needs. The home was much nicer in person. We enjoyed using the boat house. The kids were able to swim right off the dock & we were able to tie our boat up. The house was much nicer in person. We enjoyed our 6 day stay.

Fabulous getaway close to Dallas
Beautiful and sparkling clean - a perfect family get away! The private first level with the two captain's beds were a hit with our teen and pre-teen. The views of wildlife and the lake are amazing - we saw deer, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, cardinals almost constantly throughout our visit. The owners were extremely welcoming, and generously equipped the pantry and kitchen with all the essentials, including thoughtfully leaving snacks. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the living room/kitchen area had great views of the lake, and was perfect for family game nights. A fabulous way to spend New Year's Eve! We will be back.

Slice of Paradise
WOW, absolutely stunning!! We had the greatest time staying at this cabin. No need to leave once you have your groceries... You won't have trouble finding something to do! The cabin is spotless, and the beds and couches are so comfortable! The kitchen was full of all the necessities. Beautiful yard with a gorgeous view of the lake! The dock is where we spent most of our time relaxing. We enjoyed taking a blanket to the dock and laying down looking at the Stars at night. Our boys who are 16 and 13 had so much fun and enjoyed kayaking, swimming, and fishing! When we had a question Brent was so fast to respond. Best vacation yet!! This cabin is definitely on our radar for next year! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your little slice of paradise!

This place is a DREAM!
We have stayed at several lake homes and cabins over the past couple of years and to date this was our BEST experience. There was something for everyone in our family of three couples and kids. Age range 7yrs to 74yrs. The lake house is designed with every creature comfort and space enough for all. The dock house comfortably fit our entire party on it to enjoy the lake and we easily docked our pontoon to it. The place is gorgeous both inside and out. We are a family who loves to entertain and cook and there was nothing we needed. We actually brought some kitchen and bar items just to be sure we had what we needed and ended up not even having to unpack those items. We stayed for five nights and still didn’t experience everything this lake house has to offer. Brent & Rosy were hands down the most organized and thorough owners I have communicated with yet. Staying there was an absolute delight and my entire family agreed we would be back.
