About this property

Welcome to Cottage Mariposa on Eagle Mountain Lake

Summary:
Welcome to Cottage Mariposa (The Butterfly). This beautiful estate sits on Eagle Mountain Lake on 4 acres with gorgeous views from every window. THE BEST FRONT PORCH SITTIN'! With 4 bedrooms, a kids room & 13 beds that can sleep up to 18 adults & 4 kids for a total of 22. Whether you just want to relax or have fun in the sun, fishing, boating, & just livin' lake life this is it! Lots of deer watching! Kayaks, games, & canoes available for use. 3 min to marina/restaurant. Weddings/events available w/approval

The Space:
Spacious living areas inside and out and large bedrooms for up to 18 people and 4 kids max. The home was thoughtfully decorated with relaxation and a fun get away in mind. The wrap around porch gives plenty of porch sittin'! Plus there is a covered porch downstairs and huge patio areas. Down by the water there is also a covered cabana with picnic tables. The bridge and the dock with the gazebo belong to the neighbor and are on here to show the view from the porch but they are not on our property.

Guest Access:
The bridge and the dock with the gazebo are not on our property, the pics just show the view from our porch. We do have a dock that can be accessed and there is access to the water right behind the house with steps to get in (when the water is not too low). At the end of the property, it is very long and narrow 4 acres, you can access the main body water. There is a small sandy beach area (when the water is not too high).

The Neighborhood:
Beautiful lakefront neighborhood that is very wooded right behind Eagle Mountain State Park. Oh dear, the deer! Lot's of wildlife watching. There is a marina that has a boat launch and restaurant less than an mile. Sammy's on the water has good food, fun patio and live music. Also within 10 min Lakehouse with great food, patio and live music, Taste of Italy, & Boo Ray's. Only 30 min to downtown Fort Worth, 45 min to downtown Dallas, 40 min to DFW Airport, and 25 min to Texas Motor Speedway, the outlet mall and Buc-ee's.

Getting Around:
There are 4 restaurants on the water that you can get to by car or boat. There is ample parking for everyone staying in the house since the drive way is an acre long! Or you can take out the kayaks, canoe or swim to your destination. You are also welcome to bring your own boat!

Other Things to Note:
All events are booked with us directly and are priced differently. All events require a deposit. You can find us at cottagemariposa.

Interaction with Guests:
If you have any problems at all please contact us immediately.

Great place to gather

We had friends and family coming in from multiple locations and this was a perfect gathering for us all. Lots of bedrooms so each family got their own space. Owners were very quick to respond to any question i had. We had no issues for the weand thoroughly enjoyed the location. Right on the lake.

Dallas Xmas 2024

We had a great time staying at the Mariposa Lake House. We had family from New Jersey and Houston come together to celebrate Christmas. We had a total of 15 people sleep comfortably. The house was clean. We would definitely go back.

Great spot on Eagle Mountain Lake

The property is as described but just wish we could have access to the open water if we wanted to rent a boat. We also want to disclose that if you are considering this home for the 4th of July or a day in which there could be fireworks, the neighbors were shooting fireworks until 3:30am. Overall a great house for a family rental.

Great House

The house was clean & nice but we rented it for the outdoor area for a company picnic. The outdoor grounds were in bad shape, over grown, lots of tall weeds. The porch was a disaster with broken chairs and other broken items. In all we had to spend about five hours, two of us to get it ready. Water is not near the property and hasn't been for some time, 3' weeds under boat ramp! The view is great. Front door key pad didn't work so was unlocked on our arrival and we could not lock for the entire stay unless we were inside. We made it work but for the price we spent too much time on it.

Great place for family gatherings

Great place for family gatherings. Good location on a eagle Mountain Lake away from city hassle, but not too remote. Seven minutes to a well stocked Dollar General. Fifteen minutes to anything else you might need including a selection of restaurants.

Perfect Lake House for Special Occasions

My now husband and I rented this property for ourselves and our bridal party for 3 days. Our home wasn't large enough for all the bridal party, family, and friends, coming and going through the hectic pre-wedding festivities. This house was great, very large, and had most everything we needed, plus lots of games, outdoor fire, lake access, etc. With all that being said, it is a lake house and with thay comes the outdoor bugs and spider webs, which didn't bother us much. We did wish that the outdoor furniture cushions were cleaner or newer, but again we're nit picking here. Very happy with our stay and the communication between us and the property manager. Thank you for being part of our wedding memories! 💙

About the host

Hosted by Sherry Patterson

Host profile image
I am the broker/owner of Aspire Realty. I love my short term rentals. It started the first time I stayed in one in Italy. So fun! I live on a 140 acre pecan farm with my family and all 100 or so of my animals in Decatur, Tx.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this property about 15 years ago when I lived next door. She is grand yet so cozy and inviting. I jumped at the chance to buy it when it became available. I have left her pretty much the way she was with all the antiques and memories.

What makes this property unique

Waterfront, toys, kayaks, fishing, tons of fun!
