5 mins to city. Sunset views. Large lot and cedar Pavilion. Playset for kids.

Welcome to "Five Pines" – the ultimate family and group getaway for fall and winter! Our cozy home is just a 5-minute drive from Walmart, Starbucks, Chili's, Vernon's Lakeside Grill, LuLu's on the Lake (for snow cones and ice cream), Cedar Creek Brewery, Jalapeño's, Hector's Mexican, Taco Bell, Whataburger, Brookshires, and a host of other city amenities. You'll enjoy the serene feeling of being in the countryside while still having all your favorite conveniences.

This is the ideal spot for autumn and winter fun, whether you want to watch football on the back deck, relax by the fire, or explore our spacious yard, Cedar Pavilion, and catch the breathtaking sunset views. You can gather around the firepit, play cornhole, washers, or take the 2 kayaks out on the water. There's even a basketball hoop off the back dock for some water-based shooting fun. And don't forget about the tubes under the deck for floating in the cove – it's the most enjoyable lake activity! There's something for everyone, from kids to adults, and our family and friends can't get enough of it.

We're new to VRBO but have an impressive 4.8-star rating with over 70 reviews on another hosting platform. We've recently added many exciting features to our property, including a private lake home on the East side with stunning sunset views and Chamber Island in the distance. You'll love our turf fire pit area, perfect for gatherings. The newly constructed Cedar Pavilion comes with a large table for dinners and cookouts by the fire. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the home has been beautifully renovated. We've got plenty of games for kids, cornhole boards, washers, horseshoes, and even a TV on the back deck for outdoor football watching. The colorful LED lights add a festive touch to your evenings. Plus, with 200 feet of shoreline on three lots, the backyard is a haven for dogs, complete with a large elevated outdoor dog bed. Our home is the ultimate spot to disconnect and enjoy quality time with family and friends.
