WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR
Families with kids — The bunk room was made for it. Kids take the bunks, parents take the queen rooms, everyone ends up around the fire pit after dinner. The fenced yard lets dogs and little ones roam freely.
DFW weekend warriors — Two and a half hours from the Metroplex, this is the perfect Friday-to-Sunday reset. Leave after work and you're on vacation before midnight.
Fishing groups — Texoma's striper fishing is legendary. Launch nearby, spend the day on the water, soak in the hot tub when you get back. The washer/dryer handles the rest.
Couples retreating — The hot tub, fire pit, and hammock are built for two. Sleep late, cook breakfast, repeat. The
kind of reset you'll feel on Monday.
