"FISH MORE - WORRY LESS" Sounds like a great new years resolution to me. We are once again SUPERHOSTS!!  Thank you everyone!  Come see what all the fuss is about at the Chilcottage on Lake Tawakoni in 2025.

We want to thank all of our wonderful guests and families that have stayed with us over 2024.  You guys are the BEST!!!  When you want to book your next trip for fishing, get togethers, birthdays, or more just let us know.  And make sure to tell all your friends and family too, word of mouth is basically how we roll.  We hope you all have a happy and safe new years celebrations and the best 2025 you can possibly have.  We will see you next year. The Chilcotts

The Chilcottage is a great place to spend the holidays.  Just think about it.   Here is our: Top 10 list for staying at the Lake Tawakoni Chilcottage You have room to sleep the whole family.  Our house sleeps 12.  And It's close to DFW. Huge kitchen with open floor plan connecting it to the living room.  You can be cooking and still not miss out on any "Dad" jokes or fun stories.  Plenty of games and fun activities are provided. Puzzles, Board Games, Cards, Dice, Ladder Golf, Cornhole, and on and on. Firepit for roasting marshmallows. Fishing. Kayaks Included for early morning workouts. Power charging for the electric cars of the annoying relatives with one. Morning coffee on the enclosed back porch overlooking the lake. Evening drinks with beautiful sunsets over the lake. IMPORTANT - No laundry to do after they leave. THE BEST - You don't have to actually clean your own home before anyone comes over - our lakehouse is always clean.

We have new T-shirt designs NOW available in the store.  I have created some styles for both Lake Tawakoni and the Chilcottage, plus several silly ones that were just for the fun of it. Here are a few of my new designs.  I am going to try to update the store with 1 - 2 NEW designs each week.  Don't hold me to it, but hopefully.  If you don't see something that catches your eye, just keep checking back, or drop me a line and maybe I can create something more custom to your taste. This link will take you to our store to see them all. 16 designs in all.......SO FAR. nope. now 18. told ya.

I thought it would be fun to have.......STAT-urday because it's Saturday. HaHa. Silly.  Anyways here are some fun stats on our STR (short-term rental) and website.  First off...you have to call it a STR now because AIRBNB is like calling tissue, Kleenex.  Because we are now listed on many more rental websites, we are no longer an airbnb but a STR. whatever. anyway.  So now. On with the FUN. Remember. This is only about 6 months in.  We started renting out to the public in March of this year. VISITORS So far......Our furthest visitors have been from England & India.  Bath, England Go Bath Rugby! and Vellore Tamil Nadu India Olympic champions! Pretty neat.
