Quiet Large Family Lake House on Pickwick Lake
It is an excellent place to stay and I'd highly recommend it. A lot of places say they'll sleep 10 but that requires doubling up in all beds. Not here. Lots of beds and we had 9 people. What you need to know: It's a large house on the north shore of Pickwick Lake tucked back at the end of a cove. There are a lot of stairs, so be prepared; 30 down to the front door and about 55 down to the boat dock. The driveway is STEEP. If you have a boat trailer, launch your boat first, then leave the trailer at the top of the driveway and don't bring it down the steep part. The boat dock it secluded we parked two bass boats and left gear on them because if felt secure. The house is very quiet, and with the trees, you can't see any neighbors. The porch has plenty of chairs for sitting. Kitchen is good for cooking. Negative comments keeping this from being a 5 star rating: There are several small items that need the love of a handyman. Back door handle needs replacing; a door screen needs replacing; trim was loose here and there; the upstairs AC quit working on us during the middle of the day (or maybe can't keep up) and a couple evenings; the first set of stairs to the dock are old and pretty slick when wet and are in need of being replaced; the last step on the old stairs is broken. Aside from those needed repairs, which are typical in Vrbos, this was an awesome place. The host refunded a night due to the AC not working well. If we come back to Pickwick, we'll stay here.
