Hickory House on Lake Tawakoni

Our lake house is perfect for a weekend getaway, family reunion or short retreat. You'll want to spend as much time outdoors as possible, but if you get caught on a rainy day, our cozy home is ideal for a jigzaw puzzle, or family game time. Bring your kayaks, boat & fishing gear! We have a private boat ramp. Swim off the dock! Eat outside under the gazebo; we have a grill, fire pit and picnic tables. We are 60 minutes from Dallas and 10 minutes to shopping and restaurants in Quinlan.
Guest access
You'll drive through a working cattle ranch to this wonderful, secluded spot right on the lake! The views are stunning. Hickory House was built as a labor of love to host family gatherings on lakefront land that has been in the family for decades. Soak in the fresh air, sunshine and lake views.
Other things to note
Located on a secluded cove of Lake Tawakoni. The cove runs east to west so the waters are calm. Ideal for water sports, skiing, wake boarding, kayaking, canoes, paddleboards. Bring your favorite water toys! We have a boat slip too.

Looking for a fun weekend of fishing? Channel and blue catfish are abundant, along with limited numbers of flathead catfish. Largemouth bass is also a popular sportfish in this reservoir. Crappie fishing can also be good!
