Malakoff, Texas
A traditional Texas lake house with a touch of the Virgin Islands awaits you just one short hour southeast of downtown Dallas. The Cruzan Confusion is appropriately named after a traditional drink of the Virgin islands meant to temporarily "confuse" your mind from your everyday worries. Come pull up a barstool at the outdoor bar area that we have dubbed "Soggy Dollar North". Relax in a hammock, sit by the outdoor firepit, or grab a seat at one of our many seating areas on our expansive outside deck which is shaded by a canopy of beautiful trees. If you feel like being a little more active, take a paddle on one of the 2 provided kayaks, have a swim off the boat dock, or toss in a line. At the boat dock you will find mooring whips to keep your boat secured for your stay, a slide for the kids and a waverunner lift to easily launch the kayaks or store your own waverunners. The boat dock has a boat lift as well which may be available for use for an extra fee. Make sure to take in the amazing 360 degree views from the large party deck above the boat dock, especially at sunset. If you wish to enjoy the game while remaining outside, pull it up on the 50" 4K smart tv behind the Soggy Dollar North bar. Oh yeah, the property does come with a 4 bedroom house as well if you want to take a break from the outdoors. The kitchen and main living areas have been recently renovated and decorated with a light nautical/coastal theme which is carried throughout all 4 bedrooms. The house sleeps 11 with a queen in bedroom 1, another queen in bedroom 2, a queen and twin in bedroom 3 and a full over full bunk in bedroom 4. When it is time to eat, throw some food on the propane grill at the outside bar, or prep it in the kitchen on the new granite countertops. Enjoy plenty of seating at meal time including a farmhouse dining table that expands to seat 10-12 people. Views are in no short supply from inside the house as the entire wall facing the lake consists sliding glass doors. So get away from troubles and hustle and bustle of everyday life and come get "confused" at Cruzan Confusion!
It’s a great property in a nice quiet neighborhood right on the lake.
Nice deck. Nice dock. Very clean.
Great location beautiful view and the outside deck was the best part.
We had a wonderful time at your home. It was perfect for our need and enjoyed the view of the water and the pier. The outside deck and bar are great! We definitely would like to come back over the summer.
We celebrated my mothers 60th birthday with our family and the entire experience was wonderful. Our family looks forward to booking another reservation here in the future the owners were very gracious hosts.
Beautiful property - the outdoor space was great!! Everything you need for a weekend at the lake.
Has everything you need! Our family felt right at home! Great place to stay.
Everything we expected!
Excellent expirence. Cozy beds. Awesome view of the lake. Quiet neighborhood. Loved everything about the place! Great memories!!
Perfect location if you are attending a wedding at Margot Hill. Great getaway - very relaxing with the beautiful lake views. The deck is so spacious and has plenty of seating. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Beds were super comfy. We would definitely stay again!
The house, deck, and grounds were great. We really enjoyed our stay. Our stay was relaxing and fun. We cooked the turkey on the grill and all the Thanksgiving day sides in the oven. It was a great family get away.
We stayed 3 nights for a girl’s trip Canton weekend. Host provided good and thorough check-in information, though when I messaged a question through the app he did not ever respond. It wasn’t a big issue though, we figured it out. The house is cute, well decorated, beautiful lake view and neat lake access. The house is older and it shows in some things like the rattle in the ceiling fans, smaller rooms, the need for extra A/C window units to keep it cool, and the lack of outlets around the bathroom mirror (had to plug in hair dryer above toilet which was odd but we made do, not worries). The one thing that would cause us to not look at renting here again was the roach in the kitchen. Can tolerate spiders, roaches are an issue with me. Understand you’ll have more bugs next to a lake house but it was surprising to our party and we avoided the kitchen, definitely didn’t cook while we were there. We enjoyed the large dining table for games and the living room was comfortable. The tables outside were nice for sitting and relaxing the short time we spent on the deck. The check out procedures were simple and clear. Overall it was a good stay apart from the big issue.
This house was great for our family getaway of 4 adults and 2 kids. The outdoor areas were wonderful and we spent a lot of time outside enjoying our time by the lake.
This lake home was perfect for our group! It was so relaxing and perfect size. Loved this stay!
I have to echo that for the price this property is very underwhelming. The outdoors and lake are beautiful. The property itself is essentially a renovated double wide. Old, musty, very used furniture. Uncomfortable. Paper thin walls. Spiders greet you in the showers. Thin old towels and only one roll of paper towel and one garbage bag for the weekend. Back doors are so warped that they barely open. Not what I was expecting and we have been to may VRBO units throughout the country. This place needs a renovation or a significant price reduction. My kids both said they’re stuffed animals smell like the lake house still, and not in a good way. Sorry.
Property was perfect for three families. Kids enjoyed the outdoor space all weekend long. The lake was tranquil - perfect relaxing weekend. Close enough drive to major cities to make a 2-3 night stay absolutely feasible. The property manager answered text messages promptly and was pleasant to work with. The kids had a blast fishing off the dock (we caught quite a few while there!) and we all enjoyed the kayaks! Will definitely return.
We loved our stay. We had a group of 8 who slept comfortably and had plenty of room to hang out while indoors. Highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful getaway just outside the city!
We had a great time on a long weekend.
