About this house rental
Welcome to The Crappie House! Locally loved for its awesome crappie fishing, this cozy lakefront home sits right on the water at the quiet north end of beautiful Lake Palo Pinto.
You’ll be just steps from the lake — or walk right onto your private dock and boathouse, where you can cast a line, relax with a drink, or launch one of the two kayaks provided. This spot is known for some of the best deep-water crappie fishing on the lake, tucked into a peaceful, protected no-wake cove that’s perfect for paddling or floating the day away.
⚠️ Heads up: Please don’t dive off the dock — there could be stumps underwater!

🌿 A Note About the House
Because some of the wood used in the foundation and trim was treated with creosote, there’s a slight creosote smell inside. It’s not strong, but out of caution, we don’t recommend the home for guests with asthma or respiratory sensitivities.
To keep the air fresh and clean, we’ve added:
• HEPA-rated filters on the A/C
• A NuWave Smart Air Purifier with a top-of-the-line 5-filter system that removes pet dander, odors, fumes, mold, bacteria, and viruses.
You can breathe easy knowing we’ve got great air quality covered.

Patricia is an excellent host,answering all my questions. The house was really cute and the location was so quiet and peaceful and very safe. We didn’t catch any fish but still enjoyed sitting on dock.

Very clean , cute house with a pretty view looking at lake or back at shoreline. Several “fishermen” in our group and they caught quite few fish and at least a dozen keepers! Mostly catfish and one big stripper.

This rental is spacious and it was very clean. Sometimes the cabin on the lake can be a little "rustic". This place was not dusty or spider-y or anything. The master shower is excellent with tons of hot water and wonderful pressure. A couple of things we didn't care for. There was a really strong musty smell, the whole time, to the point out clothes and bags smelled like it when we got home. But there had been a big rain and it likely caused some mildew-y smells to "awaken." It's nature. I understand. We ran the air purifiers but it didn't help much. And the yard was sort of a mess of sticks, weeds, uneven terrain, and tall grass. I would probably think it needs to be mowed, but also a huge rain came through before we arrived and maybe that's the reason for the debris. All in all, I liked the house and our kids loved fishing off the pier. They even saw a beaver swim up one evening!
