Very cozy stay

Property manager made adjustments when we showed up early for checkin. We enjoyed a week on the lake during 100+ temps. It was nice to have a comfortable, cool home to retreat to. Marina is a few minutes drive away to keep boat. Plenty of seating on the covered porch.

The best weekend!

We had such a fun and relaxing weekend. The back patio with a view of the lake was the best. You could watch the sunsets every night from the patio and they were gorgeous. The house was so homey and comfortable. It was decorated so cute and had a well stocked kitchen….everything you would need. The owners so helpful. The TV wasn’t working and I put in a call and he was there within the hour. He got the TV working in time for football!! I can’t say enough good things. We all loved it!

Amazing stay!

This place was awesome. You did not need for anything! The house is completely stocked, they had anything and everything you could need. We stay in a lot of VRBO's and this was the most well stocked house we've ever stayed in. It was clean and comfy. Everyone slept great. The back porch is what makes the house so incredible. HUGE porch with tons of seating options; hammocks and swings. Lots of yard games. Neat lights to turn on at night. It was our favorite spot for sure! It's close to the water so you catch the sounds of the water lapping on the shore, and the sun sets right over the water in front of the house. It was cute, charming, clean, stocked and comfortable! Also, it's only a mile from all the restaurants, close to a gas station too. Boat ramp was 5 minutes away as well.

Family Staycation

We could not have asked for a better experience on Vrbo with this vacation. Judy was a dream to work with and the property had every amenity described plus so much more. The kitchen is fully stocked and the back porch and lake was on point. We didn’t want it to end. Thank you so much!

Amazing and beautiful experience

If you’re looking for a little oasis get away, check no further than this backyard. Not only is the patio comfortable but the view is incredible. The owners were welcoming, professional and easy to access. I felt like I was home. Stocked with convenient items and loved the fact that we could just dock our boat in the bank. This is your next getaway, you won’t regret it!

Friends weekend

Great property & great communication! Judy was just a message away. My husband & I plus 2 more couples stayed here. The atmosphere is awesome! I’ve never stayed anywhere that the kitchen was stocked with anything you could possible need to cook. Peaceful part of lake with sandy beach to play in water plus place to tie our boat & seadoos. Play on the water come back for some lunch & go back out. The back porch was our favorite hangout!!!! Definitely on my list of repeat places!!!

Great getaway close to DFW

The backyard and deck are incredible. We were able to bring our boat to the property's shoreline to easily pick up our passengers, which was essential because of the little ones. While we spent most of our time playing outside, the house is very well appointed with everything we needed and then some.

Wish we stayed longer!

We could have happily stayed here a few more days. The house is so enjoyable, especially the deck and backyard, that we needed more time to hang out. Our girls loved being able to go right down to the water in the morning to play in the sand while I watched from the swing with my coffee. There are plenty of public boat ramps in short distance. Getting to Hell’s Gate was no problem. We will definitely be returning. Thank you Judy!

Dream Patio with a water view!!

Loved hanging out on the awesome patio and relaxing! We basically lived out there! There is a serene view of the lake and easy access to the water. We kept our jetskis tied up on the posts at the house and could hop on and go for a ride and a swim anytime. The lake is beautiful and easy to find your way around. The house is fixed up so cute! We loved our stay here and will be back again someday!!

Wonderful PKL Getaway!

We spent a week here with two families. Traveled from out-of-state with a boat, jet skis and kiddos looking for a place to relax, play and create memories. Toad Hollow turned out to be marvelous! The house is very clean and as described with fun & tasteful decor. The main floor has a great layout for families and groups, and flows nicely to the large covered deck out back which turned out to be a perfect place to relax as well as a good "staging area" for fun in the water. The AC works great, the kitchen is nicely furnished (w/ new appliances) and the beds are comfy! There is easy entry to the water from shore and a nice sandy bottom for swimming and playing. We had great water skiing right in front of the cabin and the sunsets are beautiful. The owners were gracious, generous and very responsive throughout the booking process and during our stay. They have gone to great lengths to create a special place for relax and make lake memories. Don't hesitate to book at stay here!

Perfect for a 50th Anniversary!

This property was PERFECT for our little family’s celebration of my parents 50th Anniversary. They didn’t want a party, just for all their kiddos to be together. We had tons of room, huge yard for soccer, sandy beach for swimming and the boat glided perfectly up on the shore to be tied off. We grilled, we lounged, we watched college football, we cooked s’mores. The back deck is DEVINE and we stayed out there almost entirely. The showers are both INCREDIBLE and we absolutely would stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Judy Cotter

Host profile image
Possum Kingdom Lake has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My family has called this area home for over 150 years, and we’ve cherished every moment spent here. I love sharing my little piece of paradise with others, and hope you’ll feel the same connection to this special place.

Why they chose this property

I chose this house for its great location on the east side of Possum Kingdom Lake. It’s close to family, conveniently near the heart of PK’s activities, and tucked into one of the quietest, most peaceful parts of the lake. The property sits on a one-acre lot with breathtaking vista views and fantastic sunsets.

Originally, I purchased this home with my husband to be close to my parents during their twilight years, as well as to create a future retirement destination. With a large family, I’ve loved having the space to gather for holidays and special occasions. From the moment I first saw it, I fell in love with the property and knew it was the perfect place to stay connected to family and eventually escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.

What makes this property unique

Toad Hollow Lake House is a true lakeside retreat. With over 100 feet of shoreline, a spacious 700-square-foot patio, and over an acre of land, it offers plenty of room to relax and recharge right on the lake. Whether you’re enjoying a spectacular sunset, listening to the soothing sound of wind chimes, or watching the geese, squirrels, and foxes wander by, the natural beauty here is unforgettable.

For fun and connection, we offer horseshoes, cornhole, a cozy firepit, and an expansive night sky perfect for stargazing. With two king suites, Toad Hollow is ideal for two couples or families to enjoy fishing, swimming, and boating together. It’s more than just a vacation spot—it’s a place to create lasting memories with the people you care about most.
