Top Jones Lake Hotel Reviews

Lake Palestine's Best Property for Vacations, Reunions, Events, Get-Aways!!!

10/10 Excellent

"We are repeat visitors as this is absolutely the best house on Lake Palestine. An annual event gathers our blended families for a wonderful vacation. Clean and comfortable. Big enough for our entire group."

Coyote Creek A-Frame Cabin with Firepit, Nature Trail, Games, Outside Activities

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay! The hosts were so friendly and very easy to get a hold of. The property was exactly what I was wanting for a peaceful stay. I like to walk our dogs and the trail out back and quiet county road in the front were perfect for that. I really liked the back porch area and the fire pit. I cooked a little while we were there and the kitchen was well stocked. We liked the DVD collection and the games, and we enjoyed playing Apples to Apples together. The beds were comfortable too! Everything was great, I would definitely stay here again!"

RELAX & ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF LAKE PALESTINE Spectacular Views!!!

8/10 Good

"If you want/need rest/relaxation, this is the spot. I don't recommend staying here in the dead of summer. Window units don't cool very well, so it stays hot inside until well after the sun goes down. The boat slip/fishing pier on the property is not usable. My husband and I fought spiders & mosquitoes inside for the first 2 days. The dishes in the cabinets were dirty. Being pet friendly is a plus. The host was amazing/readily available."

Paradise on Palestine

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our stay in Paradise! We were fortunate to stay over July 4th holidays and the fireworks over the lake were one of the most spectacular ones I have seen.Host was very responsive to any issues we had . House was very clean and well stocked.Did a lot of porch setting , as the view of the lake was incredible! Loved all the games there to play. Fished & swam from dock . Unfortunately the fish weren’t bitting & the boat wouldn’t run but we still had a wonderful stay . Thanks to the host for all their help! Would definitely stay again."

Lakefront Retreat Sleeps 20 Infinity Pool Hot Tub Dock Kayaks near Dallas

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful property with all the amenities just as described and like the pictures! The layout of rooms and restrooms fit our family perfectly. The pool was beautiful and the kids loved the slide off of the boat dock! The kitchen was nice and roomy and a frig in the kitchen and garage was so helpful so helpful! The lake is so pretty and accessible from this location with our boat. However, there is no boat storage for renters at the site. Overall a great place to stay and enjoy the lake with family!"

10/10 Excellent

"This property is incredible. Wonderful outdoor spaces from the back patio, to the roof top patio on the dock on the lake. Our kids played outside the entire time we stayed. Will definitely book again."
