The Serene Getaway

Escape to Your Lakeside Oasis: Just 90 Minutes from Dallas

Unwind and recharge at our serene lakehouse, a peaceful retreat enveloped by a canopy of trees. Wake up to breathtaking views of the lake, with the only sounds being the gentle lapping of water and the rustle of leaves. It's the perfect escape from the hustle of city life.

Spend your days casting a line off our brand-new dock—the fishing here is fantastic! When you're ready to cool off, a private swimming area is just steps away. In the evenings, gather on the spacious deck for a meal with a view, or roast marshmallows and share stories around the brand-new lakeside fire pit as the stars come out.

Our property comfortably sleeps 8 and features two separate buildings. The main house has two bedrooms and one full bathroom. A separate, detached bunkhouse provides the third bedroom and a second full bathroom, offering a private space for part of your group.

While the setting feels wonderfully secluded, you're only minutes from charming local spots. Explore the unique shops and delightful dining in downtown Mineola, or take a short drive to Lindale (15 mins) or Tyler (30 mins) for more options.

Your lakeside retreat awaits.

Great Canton Shopping Girls' Weekend

The property was clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was a great location to select when shopping at Canton Trade Days. We would come home from shopping and sit by the fire pit, sip wine, and watch the boats on the water. Great place for relaxing with friends or family!

Great stay

It was a great visit and stay at this location. We didn't realize it was two different structures until we were almost there. It did say it in part of the listing, but we had to dig for it. It all worked out great though! The outdoor space is amazing!

A perfect spot for Thanksgiving week!

This property was everything as advertised and much more. The kitchen was well equipped. There was firewood for the fire pit and chairs on the dock. It is an easy walk to the lake and very peaceful. The beds were all clean and comfortable. We did not encounter any problems whatsoever, but I felt like Tommy would take care of anything if there was. Very, very happy!

Lake time:)

We had a nice time staying on Lake Mineola. We went to fish, and it was a great place to stay and hang out right on the water. The small house is just the right size for a few people. The main house has 2 bedrooms and1 full bath. The other two bunkbeds and the full bath are in the backyard separate from the main house in a tiny guesthouse, but very close and convenient to the backdoor and nice porch! Thomas was super easy to get ahold of and communicate with before and during our stay! This a great place to go relax on the lake and have some fun in the country!
