When we visit them, we do not spend much time on the lake because we like to stare at it while sitting in their big swing sipping Prosecco. There are cranes, feral hogs, deer, unique birds and other wildlife in this part of Texas. Should I mention we heard banjos playing in the pines...? The "Ranch" development offers a golf course, restaurant, tennis courts, miniature golf and boating. Lush dogwoods were in bloom when we were there recently, along with beautiful wildflowers and tall pines. I think when I die, heaven will look like Holly Lake Ranch.

The beds were super comfortable, and we had the most amazing view of the lake out every window. It was cold out but we still used the boat to go on the lake for a bit. Then we came back to enjoy the sunset while we thawed out in the hot tub. The owner Scott was very communicative and gave some great suggestions for local spots to eat and things to do. The price was also much lower than the neighboring rentals, and I think these were much newer and nicer. Highly recommend!

Wife and I stopped in (as we have never been here before and they had Line Dance lessons from 6-9. Service was good and a great view of the lake. Food was bar food and good for around here.

All in all, the restaurant is young and they are experiencing some growing pains. Broken tea maker and got a an appetizer wrong...but they made it right. Had pepperoni pizza and Philly Cheesesteak...but forgot to take pictures. We will come again and grow with them!

He handed over the cash she rudely tells him since he's not a guest there he has to park very far away where the mechanics work and tell give him a ride to the boat ramp, hello maybe tell the person before taking their money, because when he gets off the water he cannot walk up the hill and all the way to get his truck because he's on a heart transplant list has heart issues and when he took his money back and said he will go elsewhere Ms Sara claps back at him rudely and shouts as he's walking out the door an obscenity of rudeness for leaving and going elsewhere with His money . I called got her name I said look Sara there are a lot of elderly people and you've got to treat nicer let me tell you I could not even talk over her all she did was talk loudly over me telling me my husband was rude and snatched his money back out of her hand! My husband would never be rude ever it snatch that's her attitude short inexperienced in life lessons no empathy forwards elderly retirees cause she did it to me didn't want to give me the owners name she also said She was the manager , I find that hard to believe as rude as she was. I never leave a review that's bad but if I could give less stars Only on customer service I would give minus five stars . This young woman need Needs! Major empathy training to the general public. To the owners in Dallas, I hope that you have a training powwow with Sara because no human being should be yelled at over the phone or in person for taking their business elsewhere which he wouldn't have had she just let him park close the ramp btw this is on a Tuesday morning it was dead no boat traffic , she was just being nasty to an old man that was nice to her he didn't deserve that.

I rented a cabin for my boyfriend's birthday weekend. Booking the cabin online was easy and…read moreconvenient. A week before we arrived, I called to let them know that we were bringing a 10lb chihuahua mix. The girl on the phone went over the pet policy, which was pretty standard and understandable. About three days before we were supposed to arrive, my boyfriend wanted us to get there a day early so I called Pope's Landing to see if we could get the cabin a day earlier than planned. The girl told me that they were booked and completely busy, etc. No big deal since I knew it was relatively last minute so I wasn't expecting a "yes". We arrived on Saturday afternoon. The place was pretty empty. I saw one couple walking their dog and a family fishing nearby. I asked the woman behind the counter if they had been busy and she said no. Kind of odd since I got the exact opposite information two days before, so this kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Whatever, no big deal. The woman helped me with finding a restaurant for dinner and the nearest grocery store to pick up some snacks and I was able to rent a boat slip for $10 a night. The cabins look exactly like the pictures. This is a good thing, in my opinion. You get what you see. The floors and sheets were clean, I'm pretty low maintenance so it doesn't take much to please me. The cabin had a full kitchen: microwave, oven, fridge, a grill and fire pit out front, and even dishes and silverware if you're planning on cooking. The WiFi was a little spotty, but the woman at the front desk warned me about that, so at least I got a warning? Besides, we spent most of the weekend boating and fishing. The cabin had Dish/Satellite TV. The TV channels in white were the ones that worked/have access to. I was told that housekeeping would come in the next day to replace our sheets, but they didn't come in until late afternoon. My dog liked the lake and I had to give her a bath. I used a towel to get the dirt off the dog. Housekeeping assumed the dirty towel was because my dog had an accident. I told them that I had to clean the dog. They charged me $250 for the cleaning fee. I'd think that the housekeeping wouldn't know the difference between dog accidents because of the smell of dog waste, but I'm sure they'll believe the opinion of their cleaning crew over my truth. I'd probably lodge here again, if we were to visit Lake Fork again, but mostly because there aren't that many options for lodging. As nice as the place was, I kind of expected more. I guess I wished I had a more pleasant or more welcoming experience..?

We also got to meet Teresa at our retreat as well - she is the owner of the location. This is the perfect yoga/ relaxation retreat if you want to get away and recharge. There are multiple workshops and yoga classes and they also have a fun art and craft activities as well. It's a great place to meet other women, create friendships and bond in nature. It is located away from the city and is surrounded by trees. It is a very relaxing location. Shout out to Dana who gave the most amazing massage ever! Also a huge shout out to Angel as well who is the retreat chef. The food here was so tasty and fresh! I get food anxiety because I am vegetarian and I hate going places where I don't have anything to eat. This place has plenty of options for vegetarians and others with different dietary needs. My friend and I had so much fun here, I am so glad she found it and we were able to go together! I do wish they had some sort of charging station at the retreat as it would have been so helpful since the nearest one is about 30 miles away. All in all I would definitely recommend this retreat to others that are interested!
