About this Property
What you'll experience:
Seventy miles from Dallas on the shores of Richland Chambers Reservoir, The Perch is a four-bedroom lake house where the water is visible from nearly every room and the hardest decision of the weekend is whether to sit by the fire pit or drift down to the shoreline.
Reservoir Views from Every Room - Floor-to-ceiling sightlines across the water mean you wake up to the lake and end each night the same way, no matter which bedroom you're in.
Community Pool Access - A short walk from the back door puts your group at a quiet community pool without the crowds of a resort, perfect for afternoon floats between fishing trips.
Shoreline Right Outside - Easy lake access lets you fish, wade, or just sit at the water's edge without getting in a car or booking anything extra.
Cozy Indoor Retreats - Reading nooks, a full library, and comfortable gathering spaces mean rainy afternoons are just as good as sunny ones.
Outdoor Living Built for Groups - A fire pit, a gas grill, and a shaded patio give your group a natural gathering spot once the sun goes down.
This is the kind of place that makes a two-night stay feel like a full reset. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and enough spread that eight people can share the house without ever feeling like they're on top of each other.
Why we love it for your group getaway:
Fully Equipped Kitchen - Cook big group meals without fighting over counter space or making multiple grocery runs.
Four King Bedrooms - Everyone sleeps comfortably, no one gets stuck on the pull-out.
High-Speed Wi-Fi Throughout - Works reliably if someone needs to sneak in a work call, and stays out of the way when they don't.
Washer and Dryer On-Site - Pack lighter and leave with clean clothes, especially useful for longer stays or muddy lake days.
One-Night Minimum - Easy to justify even for a short weekend escape, with nightly rates starting at $350.

About the neighborhood
You're staying in Kerens, Texas, a small lake town built around Richland Chambers Reservoir, one of the largest lakes in the state. The community pool is a short walk from the house, and the reservoir itself is right at your back door, drawing fishing boats, kayakers, and families year-round. The pace here drops the moment you arrive, and that's exactly the point.
Getting around
You'll want a car for anything off the property. Grocery stores and restaurants are a short drive away in Corsicana or Kerens proper, so a quick stop on the way in covers everything you'll need. From Dallas, the drive runs about 70 minutes on open highway; from Austin, roughly two and a half hours; and from Houston, around three.
