We took a last minute trip to Texoma before the kids had to go back to school! We rented this home, which was at the end of the road with a nice view of the lake. The water is only about a 50 yd walk from the home if you just want to take a stroll down by the lake. It was a peaceful location, & the home had everything we needed, except food & our personal care items. They even provided nice linens on the very comfortable beds, & towels in the bathroom & kitchen! The kitchen is very well equipped w/ a double oven, electric stove, microwave, fridge/freezer w/ built-in icemaker w/ everything you need to prepare & eat meals (pots, pans, serving bowls, platters, utensils, plates, glasses, large coffee mugs, BBQ utensils, BBQ lighter, coffee pot, toaster..even leftover containers for your use while you are there and even a corkscrew). The air conditioner works beautifully to keep the home cool. The master bedroom & the bedroom off the kitchen are a little warmer, but they stay cool if you leave the doors open so the air can circulate. The outdoor grill was nice & clean and there was even satellite TV, a DVD player, a movie library & a couple of games in the TV cabinet. There is no internet, which would bother me if I was traveling on business, but it was nice that the kids weren't tied to their computers/gaming & they actually interracted with each other & played board & card games together at the coffee table & watched the game show network while I cooked meals! It was a wonderful bonding experience for our relatively new blended family. There is only one shower, but it worked out fine for us with our family of 7 (we split between morning and evening)...& the water pressure in the shower was really good! The neighbor behind the home & resident manager for the owner (Jeral) was such a sweet, gentle soul & was very helpful with anything we needed! There is even a dock for your boat, however, the water was too low to use it this time, but don't let that deter you. Lighthouse Marina is only about a 3 min drive away & it's only $5 to launch from there! They also have pontoon boat rentals at Lighthouse (plus tubes, kayaks, etc) & a general store there, and the lady that runs the place is very nice! We will definitely go back & would definitely recommend this rental! Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home! ITEMS TO BRING: Food/drinks, personal care items, coffee, cooking oil, charcoal/fluid, foil, baggies, fishing poles, water shoes, sunscreen, bug spray)
