Fantastic stay! This Airbnb was clean, comfortable, and in the perfect location. There were tons of activities to keep the kids entertained, and we caught plenty of catfish during our stay. It truly couldn’t have been a better spot for a lake getaway. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Waterfront Lake House Peaceful Retreat - 5BDR 3BA

GenevieveRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Beautiful house and lot with a private dock. Everything we needed in the kitchen was there including spices. The stairs were a little difficult to climb as the heights vary. Separate thermostats were great

Ashcove Lakeside retreats @ Lake Tawakoni.

JenniferRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Beautiful Lakehouse! Love being outdoors but also very cozy and feels like home inside. This was our second stay. We love the cove that the house backs up to. We enjoy not having to go anywhere and have everything we need while we stay. The beds are all extra comfortable. Large home with lots of space. Even enjoy the large bathtub! We will return next year!

Our Place @ Lake Winnsboro

TysonRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The home was absolutely incredible—spacious, spotless, and tucked away in a beautiful, private setting with plenty to do nearby. Sherry was an outstanding host—communicative, helpful, and incredibly understanding. This AirBnB had everything you could possibly need or want, plus a few thoughtful extras you wouldn’t even think of. I genuinely have no complaints. The only minor hiccup was finding the right house at first—the side facing the street wasn’t the front entrance, which threw me off a bit. But the locals were amazing and really helped us out, even sharing info on local events. If you’re looking for a peaceful lake getaway, this place is a hidden gem—and for the price, it’s hard to beat. I’d absolutely come back!

El Sueno (The Dream)Lake House with Beach Front

SanthoshRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful 3-bedroom beach house at 401 Admiral Drive in Gun Barrel City, TX. The property is perfect for a family getaway — our group of 10 stayed comfortably for two days and had an amazing experience. The house was clean, well-maintained, and had everything in great working condition. The backyard is truly a highlight — spacious and peaceful with direct access to the water, a fishing dock, and a beach volleyball setup. We also enjoyed water sports right from the property, which made it even more special. The owner, Shinu, was extremely kind and helpful throughout our stay. You can tell they really care about the guest experience. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, fun, and family-friendly escape. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Jacuzzi Lakefront Home w/ Game room+play structure

AllieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The house is way larger than it appears! The backyard has plenty to do and it is excellent size. This is the perfect Airbnb for a family with young children. It was extremely quiet and peaceful. I actually grew up in this neighborhood and we come back once a month for work and we will be staying here again.

Luxury Lake Living, Heart of Cedar Creek Lake!

GuadalupeRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Great stay with the family! The house was just like the pictures clean, cozy, and with a beautiful view. The kitchen had everything we needed, and there were fun games for the kids. Only downside was the outdoor grill and furniture, which needed cleaning before use. Overall, a great experience!

JohnRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Very nice place to chill and enjoy the peacefulness by the water. Charlene was super responsive to any questions and super quick with her reply. Place was immaculate in cleanliness as well as the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit as well as sitting out watching the boats go by out of the big lake. Thank you for sharing your place.

Our Place on the Lake!

BaileeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
It was great, they was very responsive and I was happy with the stay I tried booking again, but it was already booked!!! That’s how you know this is the place to stay. I was actually worried to post a good review because then they could be booked all the time and I’d never get a chance to book again 😂

JessicaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We stay in AirBnBs all over the US. This place is the best we have stayed at! The pool and hot tub are awesome. There is plenty of sleeping room and the neighbors are far enough away that you have all the privacy you need. I wouldn’t change a thing with this rental and we will definitely be staying here again.

Cozy Cottage

AshleyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I adored this little cottage. The hosts are super sweet and responsive. There is the noise from the highway during the daytime but they have the noise cancelling machine for that or you can just turn the TV volume up. Didn't really bother me. It was super clean and stocked well. You can tell they put in a lot of thought into making this a home away from home environment. It was definitely one of the best Airbnb locations I have stayed in. I will stay again whenever I get another opportunity. Thanks David and Debi. 😊

Your guide to Lake Tawakoni

Welcome to Lake Tawakoni, Texas

Nearly 200 miles of shoreline gird this reservoir, which provides water to the Dallas metro area 77 miles west. Unsurprisingly, visitors to its state park tend to make a splash swimming, fishing, and boating (kayaks and pontoon boats dominate). But the area has other charms, too, from geocaching to mountain biking trails. Birders also flock Lake Tawakoni to spot rusty blackbirds, indigo buntings, and ruby-throated hummingbirds amid terrain ranging from tallgrass prairie to post oak savannah. And don’t forget to look for dragonflies in the wildflower meadows. Together the towns of West and East Tawakoni number around 3,000 residents. So this is not a bright lights, big city destination. But if you want to kick back, chill out, and cast a line for striped bass or crappie, this lovely lake makes for a great getaway.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Tawakoni

The year starts cold here, but warms up to pleasant daytime highs in May. That’s a key time for outdoor adventures, before summer descends like a slap from a wet towel. Not only does the thermometer rise, but the humidity makes it muggy. Travelers with flexible schedules should wait out the peak stickiness and aim to book a cabin here efor the first two weeks of September.

Lake Tawakoni focuses more on natural beauty and less on events programming. So look to nearby Canton, 35 miles south, for one of the country’s largest flea markets (Thursday to Sunday before the first Monday of each month). Or head north 25 miles to Greenville, which hosts April’s Hunt County Fair and October’s Bob Wills Fiddle Festival.


Top things to do in Lake Tawakoni

The Texas Woofus

Sixty miles west of Lake Tawakoni, a funky, fake-mythological statue presides over Fair Park, a National Historic Landmark. Created for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition, the Woofus mashes up the state’s livestock staples. It boasts a hog body, plus a horse neck, turkey tail, duck wings, and the head of a sheep. It’s crowned by the headgear of the state’s official large mammal, the Texas longhorn.

Texas Triffid Ranch

Keep the cryptid kicks going 15 miles south, home to Dallas’s “pretty much only carnivorous plant gallery.” While the name riffs on ambulatory science fiction shrubs that prey on people, the ranch actually crafts unique enclosures for sundews, butterworts, pitcher plants, and other flora that consume insects or animals. This lush, loony space welcomes the public for open houses and by appointment.

The Traveling Man

Three giant robot installations preside over the boho Dallas neighborhood of Deep Ellum. One shows the stainless steel hero rising up from the earth. Another iteration lounges and jams on a guitar, while the last is frozen mid-stride. But don’t stop there: this soulful section of the city has at least 50 more street art masterpieces, including Jolly, a steampunky smoker that still makes a mean brisket.
