About this property

8-Mile Lake Views/ Boathouse/ Fire Pit/ Pet Friendly

  • Welcome to your Lake Palestine getaway, where breathtaking panoramic water views, relaxing outdoor spaces, and unforgettable sunsets create the perfect East Texas escape.

    Perched on a premier waterfront lot, this lakefront retreat offers nearly 8 miles of open-water views that can be enjoyed from the deck, backyard, boathouse, and living areas. Whether you're planning a family vacation, fishing trip, couples retreat, or weekend getaway with friends, you'll find everything you need to relax and reconnect.

    The outdoor spaces are what make this property truly special. Start your day with coffee overlooking the lake, spend the afternoon boating, fishing, swimming, or exploring Lake Palestine, and end the evening gathered around the lakeside fire pit under the stars. The private boathouse and dock provide easy access to the water, while the large fenced yard offers plenty of room for children and your pet to play.

    Inside, you'll find a comfortable and inviting lake house designed for making memories. Large windows showcase the incredible water views, while the open living areas create the perfect space for spending time together after a day on the lake.

    Guests love the peaceful setting, stunning sunsets, and convenient location. While you'll feel miles away from the hustle and bustle, you're only a short drive from Tyler's restaurants, shopping, golf courses, wineries, and local attractions.

    Perfect for:
    • Family vacations
    • Fishing trips
    • Couples getaways
    • Girls' weekends
    • Boat owners
    • Pet-friendly travel (1 pet only)

    Why guests keep coming back:
    ✓ Panoramic open-water views
    ✓ Private boathouse and dock
    ✓ Lakeside fire pit
    ✓ Large fenced yard
    ✓ Pet friendly
    ✓ Premier fishing and boating
    ✓ Peaceful waterfront setting

    Whether you're watching the sunrise over the lake, casting a line from the dock, cruising the water by boat, or enjoying a sunset around the fire pit, you'll quickly understand why this is one of Lake Palestine's most memorable waterfront escapes.

    We look forward to hosting you and helping you create lasting memories on the lake.

Our trip was the best, it was even better than we expected. The host was amazing with communication, and giving us the information we needed when we needed it. The house had everything we needed and even more. Me and my family had the best time, relaxing inside the beautiful house playing games there was so many to choose from. We also really enjoyed toasting s'mores, fishing and playing catch with my kids in your beautiful back yard. I would definitely recommend this house and the host and would definitely book to come back again. Every thing was perfect. We had such an awesome amazing weekend. Thank you so so much for everything.

Relaxing Christmas Getaway

The homeowners have done well with this cute little place. It's very homey and has a well stocked kitchen and plenty of games and activities for the family. It rained most of the time we were there, but there's a cozy electric fireplace and the owners even put some tasteful Christmas decor and a lighted tree. Lovely home, with a beautiful view!

Close to pine cove

We stayed here in order to visit our daughter who is working at pine cove for the summer. It was the perfect spot to relax and catch up with her. The kitchen was perfect for making some home cooked meals and the washer and dryer were sized beautifully for doing laundry. The view from tue living room was beautiful and we enjoyed the gorgeous deck.
