About this property

Looking for a QUIET lakeside getaway?

Looking for a QUIET lakeside getaway? Casa Reel is a great destination for a low-key lake experience. Perfect for those who like to fish, swim, canoe, or relax on the deck. Not a party pad, Casa Reel is nice for couples, small families, a couple of fishing buddies, or as a home base for a few gal pals who want to explore Athens, Canton, Dallas, or Waco. Located on Richland Chambers Reservoir, 15 min SE of the historic town of Corsicana. Non-smoking property inside and out. Pets not permitted. 3B/2.5 house located on cul-de-sac in charming cove with beautiful views of the lake and over 200 ft of waterfront, which incl private dock and boat slip. Just fyi, it's a country setting...we do our best to keep them at bay, but there may be some bugs and critters.

Perfect boys getaway

For Christmas, my husband and I gave our sons a guided fishing trip on Richland Chambers Reservoir. We picked out the Vrbo about three weeks in advance. Laurie was incredible through the whole process! She met my boys and welcome them, making sure they had everything they needed. All four boys were raving about what a great house this was, and the location on the water could not have been more perfect. They wanna go back in October! Thank you Laurie for all of your hard work and meeting them when they got there.

Great House on the Lake

This house was perfect for our family to stay at for a fishing tournament. Plenty of beds and seating for everyone and the view of the lake was amazing! They provided plenty of towels, blankets, pillows and all of the kitchen essentials. The host, Laurie was very responsive to my messages with questions before our stay and she met us at the house when we arrived to welcome us and give us details about the home and things to do in the area. We would definitely stay here again!

Just what the family needed

We had a wonderful time over the Labor Day weekend at this house that had it all! We enjoyed floating in the lake, chilling by the water, sunning on the patio and everything this gem had to offer. The house was clean, fully stocked with everything we needed and a whole lot more! We definitely want to come back real soon!

Excellent home on the lake!

My husband and I were looking for a nice relaxing place on the water away from the kids for our 11th anniversary. This home was awesome and the photos just don’t do it justice. It was super clean, organized, and the back deck had an excellent view of the lake. It was so quiet and relaxing. We had a great time! The owner, Laurie was so sweet and even left us a bottle of sparkling wine for our anniversary dinner!!

Bugs bugs an more bugs.

This could be a great property. Big deck looking towards lake, but the leafs an sticks on deck were bad. Spiders also outside and inside the house. The kicker was a big cockroach on the kitchen floor when i came in the last night.

Perfect Lake-cation!

Where to begin....first off, Laurie was a fantastic owner! She was not only extremely helpful but also answered my borage of questions quickly and thoughtfully! Her recommendations for the town were spot on! As for the house, it was just perfect! Extremely clean and a great layout for our family (mom, dad, fiancé and I). The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking items you would need as well as a healthy stocked pantry. The yard was perfection! Very large and spacious with a giant deck to boot! The scenery was heavenly! We used the fire pit both nights and roasted marshmallows! Two kayaks and a splash pad were also a nice touch! We did some fishing and enjoyed the calmness and peacefulness of the neighborhood. It was exactly what we all needed! 5 stars isn’t enough to give this place! We will most definitely be back!

Perfect lake vacation home!

Such a great property! It’s in a lovely quiet and peaceful cove of Richland Chambers Reservoir but it’s also part of the main lake - the best of both worlds! We had so much fun here fishing and swimming. The Walmart in Corsicana has all you need for fishing - gear and live bait. The rubber dockie was a huge hit with kids and adults alike. We didn’t use the canoe or kayak, but I love that it was available to use. The view of the lake is beautiful and the home was so cozy. The house has fantastic views from the huge kitchen window, the bay window in the dining area, and the living room. The deck with a grill was fantastic for grilling burgers and hotdogs and just relaxing outside. The beds were very comfortable and my kids adored the bunk beds. They also loved that they had their own tv in the room. I do recommend bringing bug spray - the mosquitos are bad despite the misting system. Also, there are lots of wasp-like bugs that fly around the deck area. They are scary looking but won’t bother you. We were outside all of the time with them with no problems. There is no WiFi, but we had cell service. Laurie, the owner, was very responsive to all of our questions and was terrific! She even left us some welcome snacks which we really appreciated! It’s a little bit of a hike to get to the grocery store, but we didn’t mind the trip. We loved our vacation here and would absolutely rent this place again! Thank you for sharing this wonderful place, Laurie!
