About this property

Waterfront - Winding Trail Lodge, Sleeps 6, Enjoy Amenities on Holly Lake Ranch

Winding Trail Lodge has it all! A spacious, living area with a wonderful fireplace with lots of room to gather and visit, overlooking one of the clearest lakes around - perfect for fishing, canoeing or just lounging on the dock. Located inside Holly Lake Ranch, East Texas’ premier gated-vacation resort, you’ll enjoy amenities such as hiking trails, swimming pools, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, fishing, canoeing, golfing, not to mention an activities center with a game room, a mini-theater and 2 restaurants on premises. This fully-furnished, 3-bedroom, single-level lodge with a massive picture window is perfect for families, girl's or guy's getaway or 3 couples just wanting to get away from the big city for a while.

We offer a canoe to use for a relaxing time on this small private lake with no public access. You are welcome to bring kayaks as well. This lake does not allow boats with motors. Many fish have been caught off our private boat dock.

100 miles east of Dallas and within minutes of Mineola, Gladewater and Jefferson with scores of antique shops, lakes, wineries and some of the best motorcycle riding in the country, you may find yourself saying, “Do we have to go back”?

Please note that as of April 1, 2022 there will be a fee for guests to bring motored watercraft in to Holly Lake Ranch to use on the private lakes. The fee is $50 and is good for three days for watercraft on Lake Greenbriar or Holly Lake.

Living in a big city like Houston sometimes requires getting away to reset. This is the perfect spot to do so.There was only wemen in our group and we felt safe and comfortable. The pictures, description and reviews just don't do this property justice.

Peaceful and Private
Even though the home is in a neighborhood we felt completely secluded due to all of the trees. Viewing the lake from the living room windows, deck, or dock was very peaceful. We were a little surprised by the overgrowth of foliage on the grounds since the pictures show it to be cleared, but the kids enjoyed playing on the deck and all of the community amenities offered. We enjoyed the home, and the hosts were very accommodating and quick to reply. Wwereweresurprised by the

About the host

Hosted by Joe and Carolyn Fields

Host profile image
We started off as college sweethearts and now have enjoyed 45 years of marriage. With 3 grown children, and 3 precious grandchildren, our home has always been the hub for folks to gather for food, fun and fellowship. We love offering a place for family and friends to gather, connect, and build great memories.

Why they chose this property

We first vacationed at Holly Lake Ranch in 2011 at a waterfront home on Lake Greenbriar. It was love at first sight! Private lakes with great fishing, beautiful wooded community with resort amenities, and the abundance of wildlife...we were hooked. So we bought a home on Lake Greenbriar and absolutely love our retirement at Holly Lake Ranch. We are blessed to manage this awesome home for the Henderson family.

What makes this property unique

Wall of windows provides a beautiful view of this small private lake with a private boat dock. This lake is perfect for canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and enjoying a tranquil view of nature.
