About this property
Not a Resort. Not a Rental. Something Better…
You’ve been meaning to slow down. Reconnect. Get the family in the same place — without the screens, the schedules, the stress.
But somehow every trip ends up being more work than rest.
The rental looks great in photos… until it’s not. The kids are bored. The adults are overwhelmed. You spend more time navigating logistics than making memories.
That’s why we built Jerob’s Place. Five acres of private joy — recently renovated and upgraded with families in mind: – A swim spa and pool just for your crew – A movie room with Love Sacs and surround sound – A scavenger hunt that leads to a real hidden room – King’s Fortress playground with soft AstroTurf for wild, barefoot fun – A zero-gravity massage chair when it’s your turn to recharge
At night, circle up at the custom-lit firepit. Tell ghost stories. Share old memories. Or just let the kids load up s’mores while the stars come out. Every detail — from the sidewalks to the toy closets to the Curious George room — was reimagined to create ease, delight, and connection. Yes, even your pets are welcome.
Spots fill fast, especially for reunions and holidays. Reserve your stay now — and give your people a trip they’ll talk about for years.
Jerob's Place hosted by Comfy Spots Vacation Rentals. Pets are allowed to come with you on your get-away. The pet fee is $100 per pet.
Located in Lindale, this vacation home is in a rural area and on the waterfront. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Van Lake and Van Memorial Stadium, while Parrott Park and Agricultural Museum and Mineola Railroad Museum are cultural highlights.

Check in was seamless. The kitchen was well outfitted, and there were so many toys, games and activities for the kids. The pool and playground were awesome.
You couldn’t find a better place for kids! From the pool to the playground and the house with a movie room, dress up closet, toy closet, craft cupboard and kids books we couldn’t ask for more. The kids were entertained our whole 4 day stay.
Jim was very responsive to any need and quick to fix any issues.
We made some wonderful family memories here and hope to be back!
The house was more than large enough for the 16 of us. The pool was wonderful and we used it everyday. The kitchen was big enough for some us to cook and others to sit and talk while we were cooking. The kids and teens loved the movie room. We played lots of games at the large dining room table.
We had 21 people, ages 1-72. Everyone had plenty of room. The kitchen is awesome. Two washers/dryers were very helpful with the little ones. It’s a beautiful setting and we enjoyed everything so much!
We had a group of 16 co workers and we all had a comfortable space without feeling like we were on top of each other. Lisa was easy to contact and quick to reply. There were even 2-3 "extra" fun things that helped make staying at the house a fun experience. We didn't have any kids, but it would be so fun for families!!
Our group of 18 loved everything about our stay. With ages ranging from 2 to 78, it's hard to find any location that has interests for all, but this one did. There was room for each group to take part in the activity of their choice without being on top of others and their interests. The kids especially loved the stay - they were busy from the time they opened their eyes until they closed them at night. They're already asking to do it again next Christmas!! Highly recommend to groups of all sizes/ages.
We had a multi-generational get together at this home. Kids and adults had a great time. The check in was at 4pm. We got there at 5:30 and cleaning crew was still on premises which was a bit disconcerting seeing multiple cars parked in the driveway, but they were finished and very helpful. Communication with owner was easy and responsive. We had a great stay and highly recommend this house if you want a great place to just hang out together and relax.
Our family absolutely loved our experience at this house! The owners have gone well out of their way to have things to do while staying. Our 13 year old niece LOVED the scavenger hunt!!!!Our 4 year old niece LOVED the toys and things for her to play/play on. And was totally into the dress-up closet!We all LOVED the amount of room we had. And we’re thankful there was a Christmas tree up for Christmas Really, the only way to improve would be maybe make sure all the light bulbs are working and make sure all the pots and pans are induction stove compatible.We've discussed coming back here in the summer!
This house is both gorgeous and comfortable. Kitchen is great for cooking and there are plenty of areas to relax. Pool and pool house are very nice. Everything from lights to ceiling fans and tvs are all controlled with multiple remotes, so be prepared to spend some time figuring everything out and not all of it has good instructions. Check the temps of the pool or swim spa upon arrival and adjust them so they have time to warm up.
The house was plenty large enough for our family group and had great communal space for gathering, meals, games. The setting was lovely- water views, playground for kids and pool. The outside spaces needed clean up- we had to clean all outside furniture before using and some of the cushions were not usable. Though we did not opt to have the pool heated we were not expecting it to be dirty and unusable at all. Perhaps the seasonal clean up has not been done? I would also suggest toilets be replaced with handicap height- these were extremely short and small. Enjoyed our stay- had great fun with our family and that is what we came for!
I chose this property because of the great reviews. The amenities offered for my children and grandchildren were also important in my decision.
Upon rental and before we arrived prompt communication with the owner was very much appreciated. Instructions for home entry, parking, etc were very clear.
This house is in a beautiful, quiet community. There was plenty of room inside this large house. The outdoor amenities made it easy to sit and look at the night sky where the stars really are big and bright!
Kitchen amenities were good. The coffee/tea bar was a nice touch. Coffee beans were available to grind. Other coffee “tools” such as the French press were a plus. The grandkids loved the pancake and waffle bar with owner supplied syrup and pancake mix. (thank you!) There were many activities for the grandkids such as arcade games, movies, books, and kayaks. The massage chair was a hit with the adults. The swim spa was nice and clean.
There were a few minor issues that needed attention before our stay. However, in speaking with the owner after our stay he assured me that these issues were resolved.
I'm rating this five stars because of the property amenities and beautiful location. This was just what I was looking for to have a great getaway enjoyed by my family.
Wonderful place for a multi family vacation!! Host was excellent and very responsive. The place could have been cleaner, specially the pool (it was green)! Loved the pool cabin and the big kitchen. The kids loved the games, clues and hidden surprises!!
House is a great venue for family gatherings and the hosts were friendly and helpful. Quite kid friendly and it's clearly been well used over the years.
The owners were terrific about addressing some issues we had at the house. For instance, we wanted to use the blender, but there was no pitcher for it; just the base. They had one delivered within the hour of my notifying them. Excellent communication. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 overall is the “outside activities” closet for the kids was empty, which meant no rubber boots for them to play in the marsh (one of the things they were so looking forward to doing.) All in all, a great place for families. Oh, and the movie room is fantastic for the kids!
Everything you are looking for in a home away from home is here! It truly was absolutely amazing for our family of 20. Very clean, host was readily available. Highly recommended for a great getaway!
Was a beautiful setting for our family !!! The screened in cabana by the pool was a favorite place !!!!Owners were attentive and easy to communicate with !
We had a great stay. Property was awesome with much for everyone to do. Also located in a great area. Property manager was extremely responsive and very nice.
property was very clean and well stocked with all types of amenities. plenty of rooms for our group of 17 people with ages ranging from 11 months to 73 years old.. property manager was very easy to contact and made sure everything was up to our statndard
Really a great house for a big family to gather! We swam, played games, enjoyed the large kitchen and movie room! Beds were comfortable and a bed for everybody!
