Perfect get away for quality family time

We loved our stay here! Only one tv in the house encouraged our teens to spend time with us outside on the dock fishing or just chatting the day away on the back porch. There was plenty of room and the house was well stocked with everything we needed. FYI- Walmart now delivers to the location so we set up our grocery order for our arrival and it was easy peazy. We actually used it twice while there. Would love to come back soon!

Very cute and spacious house at a nice spot on the lake. Unfortunately, we had some dreary weather with a lot of spring pollen, so we spent most time indoors visiting and playing dominoes. Enjoyed every moment!

Always a great place to stay

We have stayed at this beautiful home for the last 3 years in the month of October. We love this house. It's large, clean, fresh, and has a lot of amenities. The large back pouch facing the lake with the beautiful tree lined large back yard is one of the most peaceful and beautiful places on earth. I would highly recommend that everyone spend time here.

About the host

Hosted by Caroline Bollinger

Host profile image
I am Caroline Bollinger, granddaughter of Brinson and Ollie Parker, the founders of Cypress Point, and daughter and niece to current owners Gale Parker Bollinger and Jean Parker Kelly.

I grew up in Oklahoma City, but I spent ALL my summers and holidays in East Texas with my grandparents and my cousins. We split our time between the little town of Beckville and Lake Murvaul, and I have wonderful fond memories of my childhood summers spent at the lake. The family has continued to cherish this house and come back to Lake Murvaul --from near and far--for our family gatherings. Now a new generation is enjoying childhood days at Cypress Point as much as we did.

Now I live in Brooklyn, NY with my husband, a professor of mathematics at New York City College of Technology, and our two sons. We have a house in High Falls, NY that we have been running as a vacation rental since 2004. (link and reviews here: https://www.vrbo.com/109077)

Why they chose this property

This house was built in 1994, however the Parker's have been coming to Cypress Point on Lake Murvaul since 1952. Brinson Parker chose this land on the lake because of the long point and southeastern sunlight. In 1954, he and his wife, Ollie, planted cypress seedlings taken from the Parker family farm in Beckville, Texas. The trees, now 60 years old, have become the towering cornerstone of the property's landscape.

In 1994, sisters Gale Parker Bollinger and Jean Parker Kelly , built a new house on the spot where the original lakehouse stood to accommodate their growing family, many of whom now lived out of town and still wished to gather for annual holidays at the lake. Four generations of the Parker family have now thoroughly loved and enjoyed Cypress Point and we think you will to!

What makes this property unique

Our family cherishes everything about this house and property. The house is roomy and comfortable and modern, but maintains a traditional and intimate feel. We spend our days on the front veranda and enjoy an afternoon nap or game-playing session on the screened in porch. We also love that you don't ever have to go anywhere, as everything you need for comfort and entertainment is right here.

Favorite family activities include: cooking, fishing, rowing in the jon boat and canoe, paddle boarding, water skiing, tubing, swimming, playing games and catching up.
