The Big House - 1/2 Mile from SRA 6-Lane Boat Ramp

The Big House @ Lake Fork Getaways – 1/3 Mile from Lake Fork Boat Ramp & Park

Amazing Location | | 3 Ensuite Bedrooms | Sleeps 10

A relaxing getaway for families, friends or groups, our 2,000 sq/ft completely remodeled Big House features everything needed for a wonderful home-away-from-home stay. The oversized eat-in kitchen with island and dining area makes cooking enjoyable and is fully stocked for preparing and serving home-cooked meals. Relax and watch Netflix in the living room or curl up with a good book by the fire after overeating. Three beautiful ensuite bedrooms offer plenty of sleeping options and a great night's sleep for extended family gatherings or groups travelling together.

Getting away often comes with gear. Rest assured, the Big House has room! There is parking for up to 3 trucks with boats and power to charge your batteries.

The Big House is so relaxing it comes with one inherent risk: your guests won't want to leave the Big House. If energy is mustered to wander from the Big House, you're certain to find your guests enjoying any number of Lake Fork Getaways hidden treasures, all just outside your door. Perhaps your guests made it no further than the front porch and are sipping coffee while soaking in a sensational sunrise. Perhaps they're playing cornhole out back. Maybe your guests are relaxing poolside in our fully-fenced courtyard. With BBQ grills and plenty of outdoor seating, the nature nuts in your group are bound to be gathered around the community fire pit, swapping fishing stories or simply consumed by an expansive sunset. Your guests who prefer ceiling fans and air conditioning will be found in our brand new Recreation Room. Big screen Smart TV, board games, darts, billiards, full fridge and coffee bar, our Rec Room boasts meeting space for up to 25 people and is an ideal place for your family reunion, corporate event, church retreat or pre-dawn, coffee-fueled gear check before heading out to seize the day.

Lake Fork Getaways is located under 2 hours from Dallas, under 5 miles from Links at Land's End Golf Club and under 1 mile from SRA6 public boat ramp. Experience Lake Fork Getaways for some of the best bass fishing in the world! Bass, crappie, catfish, panfish, and sunfish swim in abundance. Holding 15 of the top 20 Texas state record titles for biggest largemouth bass, 60% of the heaviest largemouth have been pulled from Lake Forks 27,000 acres of water, including the largest bass ever caught in the state ... a whopping 18.18 lb. largemouth!

With so many activities to enjoy both on and off property, Lake Fork Getaways will quickly become a favorite you return to year after year! Have a group larger than 10? Additional accommodations can be found in either one of our four Lodges and our stand alone guest house we call our Sunrise Suite. Each contain 2 beds, a private bath and listings are separate for each. Please message us directly to check availability and secure reservations for your larger groups.

Birthday Getaway

This was a fantastic place for a group gathering as it provided a pool, recreational room with an espresso machine, refrigerator, darts and pool table, grill area and plenty of yard space to enjoy around the firepit. The owner, Erica, was there to greet us and was accommodating and very friendly. The big house provided the 7 of us with plenty of room and bathrooms. This location was convenient to the lake and the golf courses. We will definitely rent again the next time we go back to Lake Fork

About the host

Hosted by Erica Boehmer

Host profile image
I'm that kid you sat next to in school that wiggled non-stop and could never sit still. I was the one who shared all my food with the lunch table then left to go sit with the lonely new kid. Voted "Biggest Partier" of my HS class, my affinity for hosting is undeniable. Wherever I've lived, I've hosted - Seattle, Germany, Canada, and all across America. So, when life threw me a curve ball, I suppose it makes sense that I'm rising up to find myself ... hosting for a living. GRIT HAPPENS!

Why they chose this property

Although it was a Lake Fork sunrise that initially sold me on this property, it's been the sunsets across the big sky behind the Getaways that's kept me.

What makes this property unique

Lake Fork Getaways brings boutique lodging to East Texas.
We offer one guest house (sleeps 2-4) for sunrise enthusiasts at our Sunrise Suite.
We offer 4 Lodges which each sleep 2-4 people.
We offer the Big House for larger groups who wish to sleep, eat and play together under one roof.
Coming soon, we'll offer a luxuriously minimal Tiny Home experience exclusively for intimate retreaters of 1-2 people (adults only).
No matter your lodging preference, all guests are welcome to enjoy our unique and defining shared spaces: our newly remodeled Recreation Room (accommodates up to 25), an Outdoor Courtyard (filled with fun) and our Saltwater Pool.
