Looking for a place to stay and play This water-front, pet friendly property with a large fenced yard and private dock on deep water is perfect for families who want to have fun on the lake or recreational/professional anglers going after the big catch.

This cozy 1000 sq ft cottage has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Master bedroom has a queen size bed (lake view and access to large deck), second bedroom has a king bed. Each bedroom has a flat screen television with WiFi and Roku for you to sign into your favorite streaming services. Fully supplied kitchen with dining for 6. Living area is fully furnished with large flat screen TV (internet Roku). You can add 1 for sleeping on a fold out twin mattress or bring your own air mattresses. All linens & towels provided. TVs have Roku devices for you to access your personal subscriptions to streaming services. No cable tv or dish included.

Enjoy your mornings with coffee on the front deck looking down to the lake or evenings on the dock enjoying the relaxing sunsets and stargazing. Fire pit/outdoor fireplace available for smores and large outdoor grill/smoker for outdoor cooking. Yard is spacious enough to play volleyball, badminton or horseshoes, so bring your outdoor games!

This property has 100 feet of lake front for swimming right off the dock with a private dock. Boat lift is occupied but fiberglass mooring whips are available to secure your boat on the dock. It’s located on deep water overlooking the main part of Lake Athens with the best sunsets. Don’t settle for a shallow channel view of your neighbors across the cove!! We provide 4 basic kayaks, a variety of life jackets and swim ladders. Kayaks are kept on the dock and may require a quick wash off in the lake as spiders and gnats are impossible to keep off of them. Property is also fenced around the house for young children as well as your family pups. NOTE: Although we strive to eliminate them, there are sticker burrs and fire ants in the grass going down to the lake so please wear something on your feet to avoid them!!

Lake Athens has a nice Marina with a nice restaurant for lunch or dinner and bait shop that also sells breakfast and lunch. Don’t miss Tia Juanita‘s Fish Camp, which is a great new restaurant in town. Visit the nearby Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center, Zipline Adventures, or drive 10 minutes to Athens for shopping, groceries, restaurants and a movie theatre. Lake Athens is 30 miles from Tyler that provides many choices for shopping, eating, movies and such. Also 30 miles from Canton, home of the famous First Monday Trades Days!

    I cannot say enough good things about this property. We were here for Thanksgiving and this host has every appliance every pot pan every sort of cooking utensil in the world so it made it so helpful. She has hooks in every room for you to hang your towels, which there are plenty of towels, and I just can’t tell you how wonderful this place was lots of bedding lots of pillows, Games, kayaks ,fishing poles. This was amazing. I will definitely stay here again. We really enjoyed ourselves.

    This place is perfect for a small family getaway! The rooms were spotless, and the yard was fantastic for our dog to run around in and for grilling. We spent most of our time on the docks, enjoying all the lake fun with the kayaks and fishing. We can't wait to go back!

    We had an amazing time here with our family and sweet Dalmatian! The house was super clean and had everything we could think of needing. The property was very well taken care of and the boat dock was perfect. We are already booking our next trip here for the summer.!

    We enjoyed our stay at the house. Everything worked great and the house was clean and updated. We have stayed there 6 times before and always enjoyed the neighbors. We also enjoyed the deer and wildlife around the lake. The owner was helpful with every issue we had.

    The stay was really relaxing. It was just a cozy little cottage. You could literally walk down to the boat dock and just relaxed. It’s a quiet neighborhood very relaxing atmosphere.
