About this property

Magnolia Pines @ Holly Lake Ranch, Sleeps 6-15, Golf/Swim/Hike/Fish/Tennis

MAINHOUSE SLEEPS 6 (your request will be for this)
BUNKHOUSE SLEEPS additional 10 for $150/night (additional payment after reservation is booked)

Magnolia Pines is a beautiful industrial farmhouse home located inside the quiet, gated, retirement community of Holly Lake Ranch. It has everything you need to sleep 6 up to 15 in comfy beds. Our main house is a 2 bedroom/2 bath that sleeps 6. The bunkhouse is a separate garage apartment that is a 3 bedroom/1.5 bath that sleeps 10 (an add on of $150/night that will be charged after you book). For your convenience you can rent the main house or both structures. Since the bunkhouse does not have a kitchen we do not rent it on its own.

You can cuddle up and stay inside all weekend or venture out into the piney woods of East Texas and enjoy the numerous community amenities that Holly Lake Ranch has to offer. Our home is conveniently located just a block away from paddleboats, fishing, swimming pool, tennis, pickle ball, playground, walking trail, frisbee golf, putt putt golf, and a small sandy beach area to play in the lake. The 18 hole golf course, restaurant, and larger lake are within a 5 minute drive within the Ranch. We have equipment you can use while at our home and what we don’t have you can check out from the Ranch for free. All amenities are included in your stay except paddleboats and the 18 hole golf. Holly Lake is a quiet community with the average resident being retired. This is not the place for a party weekend :)

Our main house has the living room with a tv, fully stocked kitchen, king master bedroom with full bath, and separate bedroom with 2 queens and a full bath. The Bunkhouse has a living area with tv, queen bedroom, and a full bath downstairs. The upstairs of the Bunkhouse has a king bedroom, bunk room with six twin beds, and a half bath. All lines and towels are provided. In addition to comfortable furnishings, our house offers two outside eating areas, fire pit with chairs, covered back porch, and a fenced in back yard with tall trees and room to kick or throw a ball around! There is Wi-fi and a washer/dryer for your use during your stay.

We know you will fall in love with our home and with Holly Lake!

Eclipse Vacation

Family from Florida and Colorado met at this lovely vacation home for the chance to see the totality of the 2024 eclipse and it was well worth the trip. The host could not have been nicer or more responsive and the home was welcoming, relaxing and had everything we needed for our stay! We enjoyed then pool and there were plenty of other fun things to do at this private, secure community. If we plan another vacation in Texas, we will certainly stay here again. And the eclipse was amazing!

Spring Break

We loved our stay at Magnolia Pines. The house and bunkhouse were perfect for our large group. The house was close to all the amenities. Our kids had a blast playing on the toys in the driveway. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

Happiness!

We loved staying at Magnolia Pines! The street was quiet and we could easily walk to the lake for lots of fun activities. The kids had a blast playing in the house driveway and yard together and the available games inside continued the joy. The house worked well and the kitchen was well stocked. We fixed and ate every meal at the home! Thank you for allowing us to experience your special home in the woods!

It was such an enjoyable stay. The themed decor set the perfect mood. Thanks! My only recommendation is that a wall and door be installed in the upstairs bunkhouse bedroom for better privacy.

Excellent Experience

I booked this property for a men’s retreat and 6 of us stayed at the property comfortably. We booked the bunkhouse and having two living areas made it an excellent situation to do our retreat elements in the bunkhouse and our social aspects in the main house near the kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would expect. We ran into a few hiccups, none of which seemed to be the fault of the homeowner in that there was new staff at the check in for the Holly Lake Security and somehow the bathroom heater was left turned on so the A/C had some trouble the first day getting to temperature but the owner was very quick to respond to texts and resolved all issues quickly. We even had a welcome message at the front door that showed the owner read our message about our intent for the weekend and it was a very kind touch. The property was beautiful and the pictures were accurate. Another note for future renters, we tried to go to the putt putt and didn’t realize you needed to bring your own gear to play… it may have been somewhere in the garage but we decided to just enjoy the pool instead and still had a great time. Would definitely come back in the future!

Quiet get away

We had a family vacation with a variety of ages. We had two young ones who stayed in the bunk room and LOVED the bunk room and playing with all the toys included as well as playing with board games in the main house. We enjoyed the amenities the property had. We swam, fished, hiked and visted the activity center. It was a nice quiet get away.

Absolutely Exemplary Stay at Magnolia Pines

Our vacation at Magnolia Pines was nothing short of exemplary. This property, nestled on the serene Holly Lake, offered everything we could hope for and beyond. Every inch of the house was impeccably clean and spacious, comfortably accommodating our large group. The generous layout ensured privacy for everyone, making it an ideal setting for multiple families. The children had a field day with endless activities at their disposal. From board games to a wonderful outdoor area, every need was anticipated and catered to. It truly felt like the hosts had thought of everything. Touches like a fully-equipped kitchen, a bunk house, and even a guitar for impromptu sing-alongs truly made this place feel like a home away from home. These thoughtful amenities added a layer of warmth and comfort to our stay, making it truly extraordinary. The hosts were attentive and responsive, promptly answering any queries we had. Their dedication to ensuring our comfort was evident in every interaction. In summary, Magnolia Pines offered a perfect blend of relaxation and entertainment. With its unbeatable location, luxurious facilities, and exceptional hospitality, it provided an unforgettable vacation experience. We wholeheartedly recommend this gem on Holly Lake and eagerly anticipate our return.

We loved our stay at Magnolia Pines! There was plenty of room for everyone in our group. We had five adults and five kids; the kids LOVED the bunkhouse!

Before School Getaway

We had a blast at Magnolia Pines! The house was so cute and charming. Our boys loved playing on the ride on cars in the driveway and out on the screened in back porch. We enjoyed putt putt, swimming at the little beach, fishing, and hiking. The house isn’t too far of a drive to Tyler where we spent a morning at the Children’s Discovery Science Center. The house also had games that came in handy when we got some much needed rain! It was the perfect place for our end of summer getaway before school starts!

Holly Lake getaway

This property has a lot of great features. It is very well supplied with equipment to keep children entertained. The pictures are completely accurate as to what the property looks like and it is in a great location - close to all the amenities Holly Lake has to offer. Loved the size of the kitchen as there was plenty of room for several people to move around comfortably. Overall, we were happy with this rental. The only disappointment was the condition of the house upon arrival - it clearly was not ready. There were towels left in the dryer, no plastic bags in the trash cans, a few toys left out in the yard, and there was still trash in the outside garbage cans. The owner assured me she had notified housekeeping of these issues, hopefully it will not happen to others.

As advertised!

Like the other positive reviews, we had a wonderful time at Magnolia Pines. The house is roomy and beautiful with a great layout. Having all of the Holly Lake Ranch amenities is terrific. Pools are clean and well maintained. We enjoyed tennis, disc golf, and mini golf. We were disappointed that the pickleball courts weren't available due to fence work, but it shows that the community cares about the place and is improving it. Hosts are responsive and positive. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Crystal Spencer

I grew up visiting my Grandparents in Holly Lake Ranch so when we decided to purchase a vacation rental...I knew this was the place. My husband and I live in East Texas with our four little kids. We get out here as much as possible to escape the real world and enjoy the piney woods. Our kiddos love all the fun things to do out here and we love sharing our home so others can fall in love with Holly Lake Ranch!

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a home to make "ours". This property was a blank slate that had multiple ways for us to comfortably accommodate a lot of our friends and family. My husband renovated most of the house himself and I had a ton of fun decorating it.

What makes this property unique

The house feels like a dreamy Instagram moment but what makes it great is all the things you can do while here. Holly Lake offers so many amenities that are fun for any age!
