Peaceful quiet country getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful country home. It was perfect for the four of us. We especially enjoyed getting up and having our morning coffee in the sunroom and watching the deer run by. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to the country.

MEMORIAL WEEKEND GETAWAY
We had some issues with the TV and it did finally get resolved with the owner. The inside of the house was fine, you could tell no one had stayed there in a while, some things needed attention. The outside needs some TLC, path down to lake is very unstable, outside needs some cleaning up. We did have fun with staying in Holy Lake, we have some friends there. We will be back to Holy Lake for sure. Thanks

Perfect Getaway
We stayed here in March during Spring Break. The drive here was gorgeous with all the wisteria in bloom. We always try to choose a waterfront VRBO, and this one did not disappoint! The home was very comfortable and relaxing. We spent lots of time on the dock and caught endless numbers of bluegill using just tiny pieces of hotdog. There was a huge bass living under the dock that also tried to catch our bluegill! We also enjoyed the other amenities of this community, such as the waterfall hiking trail, mini golf, and pickle ball. Would definitely come back!

We love this place!
We’ve come back to this beautiful cabin in the woods several times. The area is beautiful, the house is spacious, the yard is big with lots of trees and lake access, and there is a lot to do in Holly Lake Ranch. We did hear some of the amenities may be shutting down, so that’s something to check on. But we’d probably still come. It’s that great of a place. And Joe & Carolyn are super responsive and helpful as hosts.

Wonderful family gateway
Hosts were great communicators and made finding the place and getting settled in a breeze. The house was fantastic. So many cozy places to enjoy the lake view, a very well stocked and functional kitchen, comfortable beds, and plenty of room for our family of 6 to spread out. Master bath and closet were so spacious and nice, everything was just really comfortable. Lots of nice outside areas to sit as well and the dock was great. So much to do in the surrounding areas although we could have stayed right at the house and kept busy all day. Kids, teenagers, adults, we all had a blast!

Everything you need in a family getaway in one location. Fun to be found with all the activities in Holly Lake. Then you go to this beautiful property and enjoy peace and relaxation. Beautiful and well maintained. Loved sitting on the lake dock with a cup of coffee. The lake is still and gorgeous. Perfect for quiet dock fishing. Will go back.

Great place to stay!
A magnificent experience! The house is very well equipped with everything you need: pots, pans, kitchen towels, pot handles, laundry pods, drying softener sheets, etc. The view is spectacular and quiet of the place make it formidable to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city and relax. Definitely, and despite the details that need to be improved, we would stay again and recommend this place. However, there are several details that must be improved: 1. You can see many spider webs around the house, specifically on the roof of all the rooms. 2. The exterior chairs of the back porch and the master's porch are so deteriorated and dirty that we could not use them. 3. The BBQ Grill is very dirty and we couldn't use it. 4. We had to go out to buy light bulbs for the 2 back balconies because none of them worked. 5. The entire exterior needs maintenance, because it looks neglected.

Best spot for a quiet getaway!
I went by myself for a retreat to rest and work, and it was amazing! The property is surrounded by trees with a beautiful view of the water. No matter the weather, you can see the scenery - there's a wonderful sunroom, a screened-in porch and an outdoor porch and sitting area. I can't wait to return with my family to enjoy the amenities. The owners were also very attentive and sought to ensure that my stay was perfect. This will be my go-to spot from now on!

Holly Lake is always a win!
We have been coming to Holly Lake for several years, and it's always a huge win for our family. With kids getting older and a new toddler in the family, there is a lot for everyone to do. The landscape is gorgeously wooded, and this house and land in particular are great: spacious, private enough, lake front, great communication, great views, great spaces to hang out in. It's all great.

I love East Texas
We had stayed at another East Texas lake house the week prior, and loved it so much we scrapped other plans and booked at Holly Lake Ranch. It’s a gated community with lots of scheduled activities, two outdoor pools and several lakes. We loved using their canoe and our paddleboard off the dock each morning. The first day we paddled to the swim beach and then swam. Then we learned it’s alligator territory! The HOA keeps an eye out for gators that make their way to the busier end of Holly Lake, and rehome them if they get too big or friendly. I was told they’ve never had any incidents, but it did inspire us to check out the pools! The pool nearest the cabin (on the West side) is less busy and we loved it! Pool toys included. We saw deer, raccoons and a blue heron, all in our yard! We also saw a white egret (I’m not a birder, so that’s just a guess) and a turtle while canoeing. The house was lovely, and if the owners ever want to sell, I’d love a chance at it! It does need the gutters cleaned out; I was so tempted to do it myself. And the garage door needs help, but since we didn’t have garage access, I didn’t worry about it. There are lots of lights and switches, so I appreciate they were labeled well. We loved the porches—air conditioned with windows, screened and open. So great! Joe also helped us get the dates we wanted. We wanted Sunday through Thursday, but as we were booking, it stopped showing Sunday (the following day) as available. I didn’t want to miss out entirely, so I booked Mon-Fri and reached out to Joe. He was quick to respond and make the change for us. I was glad, because we had driven to find wifi in order to change our plans. Anyways. Long review, but I highly recommend this place! Oh, and Circle M Crawfish is a great restaurant relatively nearby.
