About this house rental
Nestled along the serene coves of Lake Athens, this luxurious property offers everything you need for the ultimate vacation experience. This lake home is just 80 miles east of Dallas.
As you approach, you're greeted by the expansive 100 feet of waterfront, providing breathtaking views of the glistening lake. The centerpiece of the outdoor oasis is the inviting pool, complete with the option to heat it for year-round enjoyment. Adjacent to the pool is a soothing hot tub, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure.
A private dock awaits, equipped with bumpers for convenient boat docking. Additionally, you'll find a 30 or 50 amp RV hookup, catering to all your accommodation needs.
For aquatic adventures, two kayaks are at your disposal, allowing you to explore the tranquil waters at your leisure.
Step inside this spacious retreat that sleeps 16 guests, 20 if you include the couches and other soft spaces. Boasting 4 spacious bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Two living rooms provide ample space for relaxation, while a commercial washer and dryer ensure convenience during your stay.
The full kitchen and pantry are equipped with everything you need to whip up delicious meals, while the covered outdoor kitchen offers a propane grill and beverage refrigerator. Gather around the wood-burning fireplace with propane starter, with firewood provided for cozy evenings under the stars.
Take advantage of the two private patios overlooking the lake, as well as the front and back porches on the main level. Outdoor dining areas provide the perfect setting for al fresco meals, while numerous shade trees offer respite from the sun.
Entertainment options abound, with TVs in every room featuring streaming abilities, board games, and kids toys. A wet bar ensures you can craft your favorite cocktails with ease, while two ice machines keep your drinks cold on warm summer days.
Life jackets are provided for water safety, and s'mores gear adds a touch of nostalgia to evenings by the fire. Rocking chairs and lounge chairs invite you to relax and soak in the tranquil surroundings.
Parking is a breeze, with eight spots available without an RV and six with an RV, two of which are covered. Stay connected with Starlink internet, ensuring you can share your vacation memories with ease.
Escape to this idyllic lakefront retreat and create memories to last a lifetime!

Our family of 8 had an absolutely incredible stay at the Purple House on Lake Athens. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how spacious and well-designed the home is. There was far more than enough room for all of us to spread out, relax, and enjoy our vacation comfortably.The house itself is spectacular. Every room feels thoughtfully designed, and the amenities seemed endless. We kept finding little touches and features throughout our stay that made us appreciate the property even more. It truly feels like a luxury vacation experience rather than just another VRBO.The lake views are stunning and provided the perfect backdrop for our family getaway. The pool was a huge hit with our kids and quickly became one of their favorite parts of the trip. Between the lake, the pool, and all the space to enjoy together, there was never a shortage of things to do. Another thing we appreciated was how convenient local food and grocery delivery services were incredibly helpful on days when we wanted to stay at the house and enjoy the property without making a trip into town. Most importantly, our kids absolutely loved it. As parents, there’s nothing better than seeing your children make memories they’ll talk about long after the trip is over. We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals over the years, but this property stands out as something truly special! We are already talking about making this our annual summer family vacation destination!

Beautiful place with plenty of room for everyone - love that each bedroom has its own bathroom - pool and lake access is so relaxing - kitchen is stocked with everything you need including ice maker and huge fridge- towels are amazing - beds were all comfy with extra pillows in closets - outdoor kitchen and large closet filled with life jackets and pool toys - the grandkids loved the secret room under the stairs with squish mellows we didn’t want to leave

This was a Fantastic Property…..every square foot of it! Everything you could possibly need for your trip was at this vacation home. Super, Super clean! Communication from our host was top notch. She was very prompt and accommodating in responding back to any questions. After 2 days and 3 nights, the peace and beautiful sunsets will be hard to leave. Thanks for making our Moms 74th birthday so Special. Love this place!!
