The Captain's Quarters on Lake Texoma

Captain’s Quarters is Paradise on Lake Texoma! Wonderful family neighborhood for the perfect getaway. Quiet hours after midnight. The Captain's Quarters offers a rustic retreat for sea faring folk and land lovers alike. You will not feel cramped in the two story great room graced with soaring ceilings, massive windows, and rich wooden surfaces fashioned from logs indigenous to North Texas by a true craftsman. Sprawling entertaining spaces flow out to the outdoor living area and in-counter gas grill adjoining a large, inviting swimming pool with lights and water features nicely landscaped with tropical plants and flowers.

Play a game of poolside billiards under the lanai while you watch the kids enjoying the log playhouse, trampoline, or wooden tree swing. The outdoor restroom is so convenient, too.

The master bedroom upstairs has its own private balcony to enjoy your morning coffee and the symphony of birds chirping, or a nightcap under a blanket of stars.

Perfect getaway!
The pictures don’t do this place justice! The pool is huge, loved having the “outhouse” so we didn’t have to go in and out of the house. The house was well stocked with everything you’ll need and then some! It’s well furnished and the beds were comfortable. Check in was simple and the host was really nice. We had a great time and can’t wait to come back!

Great Family Vacation Home
Beautiful, clean, user-friendly house full of fun. We loved the house and it was perfect for our family. But the best part is the backyard pool and recreation area. It's private, spacious, and comes with tons of inspiration for good time. Our host was accommodating, available, and gracious. We had a wonderful time, and I would recommend this property heartily.

Summer get away
The Captain’s Quarters was the perfect getaway. Even though we spent time at the lake and a beach the kids couldn’t wait to get back to the amazing backyard and pool. Plenty of shaded seating and the outdoor kitchen supported lots of quality family time.And opportunity to read a good book. Only advice would be to bring bug repellent if you’re planning on being outdoors in the summer and not in the pool. Thanks for an amazing time!

Great for big groups!
Owner was great! We rented this house and the larger house that’s on same property…same owner. Outside area was so great and relaxing. So many floats for pool, plenty of seating and different areas to hang out. A lot of games indoor and outdoor. Very easy check in and out… and owner was around for anything that we may have needed. Short drive into town and to the marina. Would recommend for sure…especially renting both for larger groups.

Family week-end!
We enjoyed the property so much last year, we came again this year! This is our 2nd time to visit the “Capital’s Quarters”! Chris is an exceptional host and made our stay wonderful! Checked to see if we needed anything and made sure the pool was clean! We had the best time with family and friends! The property offers something for everyone, from the outdoor pool table, to the outdoor kitchen, swings, playhouse (if you have younger kids), trampoline, lots of indoor and outdoor games! and plenty of space inside for our family to enjoy! We loved playing volley ball in the pool! Something for everyone even the fishermen in our group were happy with our accommodations being a few minutes drive from the lake! We Will be coming again next year for sure! “Captain’s Quarters” did not disappoint! Absolutely loved it!

Disappointing stay
This was our 5th time to stay here & we usually love it. Not this time. There was a strong smell of propane on arrival. There were clean dishes in the dishwasher that we unloaded & dirty clothes in the washer that we washed to have enough clean towels for all of us. I called Chris & he came over & said that propane always had a smell. He said he had a CO2 detector by the stove & that there had never been an explosion there. Our SIL is a fireman & he turned off the propane to the stove & had to turn it back on any time we needed to cook. The CO2 detector had dead batteries, but we took them out of the remote so the detector would work. The remote to the sleep number bed was missing & the tube to manually inflate the bed was missing, so the mattress would not stay inflated. Chris offered to go get a mattress topper, but we said we would make do without one. The pilot light on the hot water heater went out, so we were without hot water until our SIL was able to light it again. The propane tank on the outdoor grill ran out of propane & there wasn't a refill at the house. Chris said to go get it from the house behind us that he owns.. Again our SIL to the rescue and we were able to cook steaks on the grill. The outside propane tank totally ran out of propane---no stove, no oven, no hot water again. Chris said we could use the stove and shower from the other house. Not sure what's going on, but we had lots of problems with the house this time.
