Vacation rentals with lake access in Hood County

A beautiful and serene getaway for the whole family… Joy is so thoughtful to think of anything guests may need! What a blessing to stay at such a child-friendly home. Certainly a place all ages will thoroughly enjoy! 😀 We really enjoyed visiting Dinosaur World & Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose nearby with our son, but then coming back to “The Retreat at The Ridge” and feeling like we were truly getting away from it all and enjoying magnificent views & nature right out the back door! Thank you Joy!

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The house was spotless and well-maintained, with comfortable beds that made it easy to relax and get a great night's sleep. It was fully stocked with amenities that made our stay even more enjoyable—from a well-equipped kitchen to thoughtful extras throughout the home. The location was perfect—close to everything we needed, yet peaceful enough for a relaxing getaway. It was ideal for our family’s quick trip, offering both convenience and comfort. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this place—we’d definitely love to come back!

Perfect, open flow lake house for a family retreat!

Staying here with close friends was a blast! The host did an excellent job communicating, and went out of their way to provide amenities and services to us. I can wholeheartedly say that this is an experience worth every penny!

We had an amazing day! We booked last minute and we’re still able to check in a tad bit early. Beautiful home and highly recommend booking a stay.

Comfy stay, nice + clean space, good sleep. The back patio area was especially lovely with the soothing water sound + view and outdoor speakers.

What a great house! Plenty of room for our big family. Beautiful property inside and out. Beds are super comfortable. We’ll be back

A quiet, clean, and cozy place to relax and enjoy with the family. I'm sorry I forgot a piece of cake from my daughter's graduation in the refrigerator. It was delicious😩. I highly recommend this place.

Location was great. Everything about this property is awesome!

Our family had a great couple of days at Scott’s place. The kids loved floating in the cove by the dock & relaxing in the hot tub. Beds were all comfy, the master shower was wonderful! We are cook-at-the-house people and the kitchen was well appointed with pots/pans/knives/etc. BYO condiments etc with your groceries (HEB & Kroger are not far). We made some great memories and would love to go back again! (Also, I recommend the local public beach and Big Rocks Park in Glen Rose - SO FUN & free. And both have loaner life jackets for kiddos if you need).

We had a wonderful stay at the lake house! The home was very clean, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. It offered easy access to the canal, which made taking the boat out super convenient. There were so many activities for the kids—both inside and outside—which kept them busy and happy the whole time. The sunroom was perfect for letting them play safely indoors while still enjoying the view. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable experience for the whole family.

Thank you Liz for sharing this beautiful place. We enjoyed it for 6 full days celebrating our 40th anniversary. The weather and temps were great this week. We caught fish, grilled, watched beautiful sunsets and boats on the river. Very relaxing! We will book again! . Thank you again! Brenda and Lynn

If I could leave 10 stars, I would. Property is beautifully landscaped with plenty of shade, multiple decks, water access, expansive covered porch, lots of seating, table for outdoor dining /cooking, fireplace & screened porch. Interior very well appointed with upper end appliances and all of the normal kitchen tools/pots/cutlery. Bedrooms provided nice furniture & very comfortable beds. Bathrooms excellently cleaned. So many thoughtful items for their guests that I haven't seen anywhere else for children & adult enjoyment, even a frozen pie and banana bread in the freezer for you! During our stay, we requested a small adjustment for the comfort of a pregnant person & the host was there in 15 -20 minutes graciously providing the accommodation. The owners also came out a second time, in 15-20 minutes, when I reached out for information . There is a binder with thorough instructions for the home, local information & checkout procedure. A great house with truly excellent hosts!!

You cannot beat the lake views and swimming. Loved watching the sun come up. Plenty of room for our family and house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Thank you!

Autumn and victor’s lake house was amazing. It was priced just right had a nice little dock all the amenities. Directions were clear and hosts were always responsive to any inquiries we had. Will be definitely coming back in a couple months!!

Stayed here for work, didn't spend a whole lot of time in the rental other than to sleep and laundry but very nice! Was very peaceful and clean.
