About this property

Beautiful Private Waterfront Lodge and Ranch Property -- 45 Miles from Dallas

Sit by the fire and spend time with family with water and nature all around.

The Lodge has 8 guests rooms, each with a full bath and a balcony overlooking the lake. One of the rooms is a 1,200 sq. ft. suite.

Guests love the large covered patio with barbecue grills and a fire pit, with firewood provided. There is a private boat ramp, two fishing piers, skeet shooting, horseshoes, bean bag toss and ping-pong, as well as acres of open grass and, of course, swimming.

The Ranch has 7 miles of shoreline on tranquil Lake Tawakoni. Zebras, cattle and deer graze in open pastures, and mature forests include some of the largest pecan trees in Texas.

There are beautiful wedding and event facilities near the lodge, also overlooking the lake. See the venue here: http://peninsularanch.com/themeadows/ We offer a full weekend wedding, with the Lodge on Friday and Saturday nights and wedding facilities all day Friday and Saturday. You can set up and rehearse and Friday, so you can relax and enjoy your wedding day.

We hope to see you soon!

Relaxing and Fun Large Family Vacation
Week stay for extended family of 20 people ranging from 2 to 64. Separate rooms with bathrooms and individual A/C for all family groups was awesome. Multiple living/seating areas. We rented a pontoon boat for the week which was kept on property. Fished. Swam. Played indoor and outdoor games. Brought pool for toddlers. A few brought bikes and took daily bike rides on property. It was HOT - July trip - but the water activities helped. We brought our own fryer and had a fish fry with fish we caught - yum. Grilled burgers and hot dogs for the Fourth of July. Sat each evening and watched the sunset. Clay skeet shooting Stacey & Trampus - owners - were awesome and responded quickly to any requests or needs. Cons. This property is by water and open fields, so there are spiders and other bugs around. You could take down a spider web outside a door and it was there again the next morning. Tons of spiders under the covered parking. Suggest you unload vehicle there but park out in the open. The kitchen is not well equipped. Bring what you need. The photos show two stoves/ovens - only one. The water is well water and was fine to cook with but plan on bringing water to drink and for coffee. You cannot control how well water tastes so out of owners control. Pros: Separate bedrooms, bathrooms, A/C, lots of things to do, plenty of space. Great hosts. Tips: Bring cooking utensils/supplies, lawnchairs, floats for lake swimming area. Our families plan to return and look forward to it!

Space for everyone
Beautiful rustic setting. We loved that there was a bathroom in every room, that’s a luxury. Host was attentive to our questions. If I were to give something constructive for them to work on it would be the wasp issue along the back porch area, I so wanted to hang out there in the evenings or mornings but there was just so many nests and wasps:(. We rented a boat at the nearby marina and it was just a short ride by water to pick up and drop off the kids at this houses’ north cove, the kids had a blast. Overall, we had a wonderful time creating sweet memories with family. I would definitely recommend and I would love to return someday.

Family Vacation
Peninsula Ranch was the perfect for our family gathering. The lodge is spacious and each bedroom has an en suite bath. Beautiful location on the lake with boating, fishing, swimming, and plenty of space for games. Excellent communication from reservations with Angela to the owner Stacey periodically checking in to make sure everything was perfect. We will be back!

Great High school retreat for our football seniors and coaches
Besides the other things we mentioned we had a player coaches fish fry the first night after a day of fishing. We had everything we needed for a wonderful experience. Thank you Stacey for allowing us to stay at your property and make a memory for our players and coaches.

About the host

Hosted by Stacey Smith

Host profile image
My name is Stacey Smith and I am the owner of Peninsula Ranch and Lodge. I am from the East Texas town of DeKalb. I was born in 1952, and have lived on the Ranch since 1990. When I purchased the property, it was 100% undeveloped, but I saw it as a "Diamond in the Rough" so to speak. The Ranch has been, and continues to be, a very important part in my life. I have raised my three sons on the Ranch. It has brought us many enjoyable memories, as well as a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Everyone who has visited Peninsula Ranch and Lodge seems to have been very happy and satisfied with their stay. I hope to see you soon!

Why they chose this property

When I purchased this property in 1990, I really didn't know a lot about a large pieces of land, but I wanted to work with nature to create an exceptional ranch. In addition to water -- 7 miles of shoreline -- I have always felt that the place has a near perfect mixture of native timber and pasture. Living on the Ranch has allowed me to be hands-on in the long construction process, and currently allows me to be readily accessible for the needs of the guests.

What makes this property unique

It has been quite a journey, but things like having guests to tell me that the lodge rivals anything they have seen in Montana makes it seem all worth while. Thanks so much, and I look forward to meeting you! Stacey Smith
