The only bad thing about this property was the weather! However, the rain forced us to be inside and enjoy the many areas of congregating as a family from the kitchen to the dining room, screened porch, living room, and gaming table. There are basically two masters (one up the spiral stairs and one downstairs) and plenty of beds for a large gathering. There are just two bathrooms total, however, just to be aware if you have a large group. We would very much stay here again if the need arose. The area of Flower Mound offers a great many options for restaurants, nights out, and things to do. And last but not least, if I only had a boat... : )

We were a family of six visiting the area, interested in a scenic place to stay, with access to boating and swimming, and not too far from activities in the DFW area. This home was perfect for us. It's nicely decorated, clean, and laid out well with plenty of space for sleeping, socializing, cooking, eating, and all you could want. Even better is the location: my daughter wanted to be "in the woods" and she thought this was great; but at the same time, Flower Mound's main commercial areas are only 15 minutes away. Our host was very responsive and friendly. We would stay here again, and we recommend it highly!

Comfortable Stay in Flowermound

My friends and I enjoyed the house. It had everything we needed for our getaway weekend. Beds were comfortable, lots of areas to gather and great outdoor space. Location is great since it is a bit secluded right on the lake.

Nice little getaway with great access to the lake and quiet neighborhood. A few items were out (soap and iron) and the property manager swiftly replaced them). Very well stocked with the day to day needs and very responsive host.

Worth the drive

My wife and I flew to Texas from Florida for our niece's wedding in McKinney. We decide to book Refuge at the Lake in Flower Mound even though it was an hour away from the wedding venue. We are very glad we did. The house was uniquely beautiful and had everything we needed- a hot tub, a gas fire pit, two large bedrooms with beautiful views of Lake Grapevine, a bedroom with a loft and four full size beds, abundant tables, chairs and couches and much more. However, what made this place worth the drive was the property itself. There are a number of nature trails right off the property that skirt the lake and loop around into the woods. During our wanderings we saw an owl and four large tom turkeys. We also saw a large herd of deer while relaxing on the porch and the trees on the property are a haven for a large number of smaller birds. This property is definitely what it claims to be- a "Refuge".

Great Girl's Bday Trip

We had a great trip, our stay was fabulous. I had no complaints. It was no need to contact the host at all during our stay. I did contact her prior to our stay and she was very prompt. House looks just like the photos. The kitchen had everything you could think of. Beds comfortable and ample space throughout the entire property. It was 8 of us and no issues with sharing 2 bathrooms. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.
