Great stay at the house. Husband brought a blow up boat and caught over 30 fish! Kids had RC boats and raced everyday at the pond! Property is beautiful!House is nice, beds are decent, but 1 bathroom is laid out weird. I don't understand the shower concept of not having a full door to keep water out. I didn't use that shower. I used the other bathroom. It wasn't so drafty.Overall, I would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing stay
Very relaxing! Loved looking for the turkeys, deer, coyotes, and geese every morning. View of the lake was serene. Fished, but didn’t catch anything. Walked the trails. House was very clean and comfortable.

Space to Roam
This property was great to just go and relax. Lots of room to just roam around walk dogs explore fish etc. the only discrepancy I found was that the listing says it sleeps 15 but I really only found sleeping arrangements for 11. It didn’t affect our group as we only had 5 but for future people staying. Be aware of this, you can’t fit 4 more people on the couch in the living room so I don’t know where the other 4 people are supposed to sleep if you bring 15. But it was a very nice place overall.

great out of the way place to relax!
Being our 6th time, we pretty much love staying here on occasion when we want to get away from DFW area. The acreage is gorgeous, spacious and the color of the leaves at this time was perfect for Fall! The house has been updated nicely Our dog loves the space to run "leash free" around the yard outside of the house. There are coyotes nearby at times so be careful with pets. Also deer do sometimes come in the morning! The covered porch is the perfect place to view them and just relax!

Acreage is .incredible and able to witness wildlife - fabulous. Fishing was great. Dogs were able to run free - super to watch. Very relaxing. Only critiscism was there were very little in supplies - no trash bags no soap no paper towels. Cooking pans have seen better days. Fridge freezer not making ice. However, having said all this we would stay there again!

Lake Murray
Perfect location in relation to Lake Murray State Park. Property is super well kept, and the house is exactly as described. With the vast grounds and the small lake/pond on property, you wouldn't ever even need to leave unless you were here specifically for Lake Murray. Zero complaints at all and very happy with our stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us
