Lakefront updated home on Lake Palestine near Tyler TX

This was a great getaway for a family with older kids. Life jackets were provided, and the kids enjoyed fishing from the covered dock. The s'more fixings were a nice touch!

All good

Absolutely amazing accommodations! We loved our stay so much. The property had everything we needed and more. We loved the chairs on the dock and the fire-pit. The screen porch was a great place for meals and hanging out. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

The house was great, right on the lake with its own dock and all the amenities were there. Our problems were with the owner. She’s got notes ALL over the place, which most times can be helpful, but this time it felt intrusive. “Don’t use too much toilet paper!” Put it all in a book of house rules. Our 1st convo was her instructing us to limit showering and not to use the washer due to recent high rainfall. It’s hot& the lake smells like fish and you’re asking us to not take showers? She then said that there’s an extra lockbox in case the electronic lock on the front door doesn’t work. It didn’t work, and it took her almost 30min to get back to me to get the code for this lockbox “i haven’t used in a while, I hope the code’s correct!” The lock didn’t respond multiple times throughout our visit and at one point the code itself wasn’t working, which made it difficult for the 5 of us to have our own plans with just 1 key. She then used her smart thermostat in the house to change the temp we had set it to without our knowledge! We woke in the night sweating and uncomfortable b/c of that. I can’t believe that someone would do that to their guests. Apparently, in her house you’re not allowed to go outside of 73-78F, which wasn’t posted in her many notes throughout the house. I we did have it pretty low, but it seems she’s concerned w/ saving $, not her guest’s comfort. Have fun with that.
