Lakefront | Private Dock | Games | Guest House

Lakeside Secret Garden is a breathtaking lakefront retreat in West Tawakoni, TX, offering nearly three acres of peaceful surroundings, stunning water views, and endless outdoor fun. Wake up to the sound of birds, sip coffee on the deck as deer roam the property, and spend your days enjoying the private sandy beach, dock, and two boat lifts for easy water access. Whether you're paddling out on a canoe, soaking in the built-in hot tub, or gathering around the fire pit under the glow of string lights, every moment here is designed for connection and relaxation. The screened-in porch provides a cozy space to play games, enjoy a meal, or simply take in the tranquil scenery.

Inside, the newly renovated home offers a spacious open-concept design that blends rustic charm with modern amenities. The chef’s kitchen features a massive granite island, ample counter space, and all the essentials for preparing family meals. The living room is a perfect gathering spot with a large sectional, a recliner, and a 75-inch Smart TV for movie nights, while high-speed WiFi ensures you can stay connected. The main house includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms, while the detached loft provides a private suite with its own kitchenette, living area, and bathroom. Guests will also love the variety of entertainment options, from ping pong and oversized Jenga to board games for a little friendly competition.

West Tawakoni, known as the “Catfish Capital of Texas,” sits on the western shore of Lake Tawakoni, a paradise for fishing, boating, and outdoor adventures. The lake is famous for its trophy-sized catfish, white bass, and hybrid stripers, making it a top destination for anglers. Beyond the water, explore nearby hiking trails, wildlife areas, or take a short drive to historic downtown Greenville for unique shops and local dining. Whether you're planning a family getaway, a fishing retreat, or a relaxing escape with friends, Lakeside Secret Garden offers the perfect setting to experience the best of lake life in Texas.
