Phenomenal.. one of the best stays my family has ever had!!
10.0 / 10.0
It was wonderful! The Shepherd Cabin was perfect for our family. We appreciated the large kitchen, eating space & so much nice seating in living area. The things for little ones was much appreciated. The pool was totally the kids favorite & much time was spent there. All the outside activities available were great. The lake being so close for those who wanted to go on the boat was nice, too. Our kids said they would definitely come back. Shan was a perfect host - checking on us & making sure we had everything we needed. We had a really fun time!!!

This property will make you feel like you hit the vacation rental jackpot. It is a mini resort with a beautiful pool, pickleball courts, basketball court, multiple fire pits and seating areas outside, as well as billiards and other game tables inside. The amenities are too numerous to mention and everything is in working order. We have stayed in properties around the world and, without a doubt, this is one of the absolute best. Our family of 13 meets every year at a lake lodge to reconnect and enjoy some outdoor fun time. The owners of this lodge have thought of everything. Our family ranges in age from 10 to 76 and not one of us was ever bored. Some of us were tired — but never bored. Thank you to the owners for your kindness and hospitality and for sharing your beautiful property!

We rented this house as basically a central location for our family to celebrate my 70th birthday. There was a total of 16 of us for three nights, and the space and amenities could not have been better. We were never even remotely crowded inside the house. The grands are 7, 10, 12, 14, 15 and 20 and they and the adults enjoyed all the games inside when it was rainy or dark (pool table, shuffle board, poker, etc.) and the outside activities (mostly the pool and pickle ball) when the weather was clear. No one had to be entertained by Gramma. Yay!
We ate all our meals there and everything needed was supplied. The sleeping arrangements were perfect as well, especially loved that each bedroom had it s own bathroom. The owners were on site and very helpful. Everything you could possibly need is supplied . . . including a storm shelter, which was needed while we were there. A tornado warning sent us rushing to the shelter in the middle of the night. There were probably 28 people in it with no space issues.
We would definitely return. All agreed it was a great experience. A beautiful house and grounds. Loved it.

This house has everything you need to enjoy time with friends and family! We especially loved the pickleball courts and teepee! The house is very spacious and clean. The host, Shan, was very personable and helpful! Would definitely recommend! 10/10 rating!

We stayed here for New Years with 5 families and 18 people and it was absolutely perfect. We had 8 teens/preteens with us and they spent the entire time outside playing with all the outdoor activities.
The house itself is perfectly setup. It has everything you could possibly need. We will be booking again.

What was a little slice of heaven off Lake Texoma! We booked both houses for a girls weekend away to play pickleball and were so impressed with the whole experience! The house is so well organized, so clean and meticulous, and has everything you need. There is so much space inside with still room for seating, pool table, ping pong, and poker table.
The backyard space with the multiple fire pits, lighted pickleball, and the wonderful seated teepee was beyond our expectations! The couple who owns it was so hospitable and answered all our questions and were just so wonderful to meet! The lake is an easy 5 minute walk! Highly recommend! We will be coming back!

This house was the perfect place for our group. Plenty of space for all and lots to do, enabling relationships to grow and deepen. The owners were supper gracious and helpful, available is needed but left us to enjoy our stay. The kitchen was excellent and had everything we needed. Bedrooms were clean and very comfortable. We look forward to coming back in the coming years.

Worked well for multiple families with plenty of indoor space for our large group to sit together or spread out. We plan to come back during summer to enjoy more outdoor activities.

The set up with both homes was perfect for our large group. There was so much to do from all the games, pickleball and cooking out. The owners were very nice and taught us how to play pickleball. We highly recommend this place and plan on having future get togethers at Shepherds Lodge.

Me and 16 of my friends stayed at this house for 3 nights. It was such a fun getaway! We played pickle ball thanks to the wonderful host showing us and teaching us how to play! We relaxed, watched movies and made a quick trip to Tishomingo for dinner at Blake Shelton’s bar and restaurant, Ole Red’s. It was a wonderful time! Wonderful hosts!!!

Sheperd Lodge was perfect for our annual "Smith Family Weekend!" The kids loved the short trip to the lake, the girls were close for a Spa day in Durant and the guys spent a morning out on Lake Texoma on a guided fishing trip! The house was perfect for famliy fun time AND napping babies. The kitchen was VERY well stocked with all the things we needed to fix large meals. The bunk beds in the bedrooms are pure genius for the families and each bedroom having it's own bathroom was luxury. The outdoor area was also great! We had plenty of room to set up a large blow up pool underneath the porch for the toddlers. We will definitely stay here again if we come back this way!

A wonderful week spent at Lake Texoma in this beautiful house! There were 14 of us, so finding a place to accommodate us all was paramount! The Shepherd Lodge did not disappoint!! Plenty of activities for the older kids (pool, ping pong table, sport court), in addition to the lake of course ? The adults enjoyed shuffleboard and the poker table! The kitchen area was well appointed and served as a great “hang out” area for everyone. Each bedroom was, once again, well appointed. The owners literally thought of everything! The lake and marinas are in close proximity to the house, allowing for morning and night walks, enjoying the scenery. We even met some of the year round neighbors, who were all very warm and welcoming. The planning has already begun for our next adventure at Shepherd Lodge ?

This house is far enough away from North Texas and the utter contemptible chaos there, that our group of friends can get in a car, drive 90 minutes and just unwind. Spacious? This is super duper spacious. Every bed is long and wide enough for full-grown adults to sleep comfortably. Spacious in the kitchen when people are loitering around eating chips, cooking, and chatting. Spacious in the living and game rooms. There isn't a tight space in the entire house. Our group of friends have had getaways every year for the past decade. We've visited this same house now twice and have settled that this is our yearly gathering spot from here on out. We couldn't ask for a better spot to get away from the chaos of work and life and the wives. We're already talking in our email thread about our next visit for next year. I can't recommend this spot enough.

We had a wonderful vacation in Kingston. The home was perfect. There was so much to do at the house for everyone and sooooo much room. The hosts thought of everything! The kitchen was stocked with all the pots, pans, baking dishes, and utensils that you would need (and a gas grill outside). There's playground goodies outside and tons of games inside. The lake was within walking distance but we always drove (hauling too many kids and too much gear). There was a wonderful peer that made it easy to get on/off the boat. What a top-notch experience!

This property had everything we needed and then some!! We had an excellent, fun, relaxing time! We had the honor of meeting the host face to face and they were a lot of fun! They took wonderful care of us!

The Shepard family did a truly amazing job creating this beautiful lodge! The upstairs bedrooms lent a space for quiet retreat and the great room provided more than enough space to enjoy each others company. Due to the insane heat the days we were at the lodge we did not use the ping pong table; however the billiards table, shuffle board and poker tables were enjoyed daily. Having the well equipped kitchen labeled saved us time in finding what we needed to get our meals on the huge dining table in record time!
We hope to be able to plan another trip to the Shepard lodge in the future!

This house has everything you need for a great time!! Games, pool table, shuffle board, pingpong! Lots of room for entertaining everyone and Only a couple blocks from the water (including small beach and fishing dock and boat ramp). We had a little over 20 people and there was plenty of sleeping space . The property manager happened to be next door the weekend and was nothing but helpful. Looking forward to making this our yearly meeting spot!!

We had our annual pledge class reunion over the weekend. It has been almost 36 years since some of us saw each other! The home was absolutely perfect for our group. The great room with two oversized sectionals gave everyone a seat while we visited and played games. The kitchen was designed for a crowd. We prepared meals for 15 and were all able to sit at dining table. Bedrooms are great, as it allowed many of us to choose a bunk and not share a bed. Each room has it’s own full bath. We didn’t use the shuffleboard or pool table, but can imagine it would be great fun! There was not one item we needed in the kitchen that wasn’t there. And we took a short walk down to the lake, which is a pretty view. Home is great for families, guys or girls trip, retreats, etc. If I need a home in this location for a group, I would most certainly book it again.

Newly built house has it all. This property was perfect for a large group of guys. Plenty of room to sleep 16 adults, huge fully stocked and furnished kitchen, oversized fridge, and accommodating outside seating. 2 minute drive to lake and fishing pier. Tv's and games everywhere. Won't have a hard time staying entertained if the weather is bad. Owners were super flexible and accommodating as well. Would definitely consider again if headed back to Texoma with a group.
