A Shore Thing

Imagine soaking in a private hot tub under string lights, a fire crackling ten feet away, stars overhead, oak smoke in the air, and nothing but crickets and conversation. That's your first night at A Shore Thing — a half-mile from Lake Texoma's sandy shores, built for exactly this kind of reset. The backyard is the whole point. Everything else is just as good.

Step inside and the open-concept living room sets the tone: two couches, an oversized chair, and a 50-inch Roku TV. Board games and puzzles are stashed in the coffee table for late nights in. The decor is intentional — this is a place built for relaxing, not impressing.

The kitchen is fully stocked for real cooking: gas stove, oven, dishwasher, full refrigerator, microwave, all cookware and utensils, and pantry staples — coffee, salt, pepper, cooking spray. The dining table seats four.

BEDROOMS
Primary Bedroom — Queen bed, smart TV, ceiling fan, closet storage. The primary bath is stocked with the extras most hosts forget: individually wrapped toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, ibuprofen, and antacids.

Second Bedroom — Two twin beds, ceiling fan. Quiet and comfortable.

Bunk Room — Full-over-full bunk bed plus a twin. Bright windows, plenty of floor space, perfect for families or groups.

BATHROOMS
Two full bathrooms, freshly stocked each stay. The primary bath has a tub/shower combo. The second bath, located in the shop, has a walk-in shower and a clean vanity.

THE BACKYARD
The private, fully fenced backyard is why guests book this place — and why they come back.

Private hot tub (7–8 person, open 24/7, year-round) on a lit wooden deck with string lights. Fire pit surrounded by four Adirondack chairs. Hammock strung between mature oak trees. Outdoor dining area and daytime seating. Fully fenced for dogs and kids to roam safely. Outdoor faucet for rinsing sandy feet and lake gear.

The covered front porch is the quiet morning counterpart — a swing, shade, and neighborhood views before the day gets going.

OTHER AMENITIES
Washer and dryer in unit. High-speed WiFi (106 Mbps). Smart lock and dedicated workspace. BBQ grill, board games, single-level home with no stairs.

LOCATION
A Shore Thing is in Kingston, Oklahoma — a quiet, rural pocket of the Lake Texoma corridor. Kingston has no walkable restaurants or shops nearby, and that's entirely by design. Half a mile from sandy lake access, 15 minutes from Durant, and about 2.5 hours southwest of Dallas — far enough from the city to actually unplug.

What's nearby:
— Lake Texoma Shoreline & Beaches — 0.5 miles
— Boat Ramps & Marina — multiple within 5–10 minutes
— Lake Texoma State Park — 20 minutes
— Striper Fishing — Texoma is legendary for striped bass year-round
— Choctaw Casino & Resort, Durant — 15 minutes
— WinStar World Casino, Thackerville — 45 minutes
— Lake Murray State Park, Ardmore — 40 minutes
— Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge — 35 minutes
— Sherman / Denison, TX — 30 minutes
— Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex — 2.5 hours

WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR
Families with kids — The bunk room was made for it. Kids take the bunks, parents take the queen rooms, everyone ends up around the fire pit after dinner. The fenced yard lets dogs and little ones roam freely.
DFW weekend warriors — Two and a half hours from the Metroplex. Leave after work Friday, wake up at a lake house.
Fishing groups — Texoma striper fishing is legendary. Launch nearby, soak in the hot tub when you get back. The washer/dryer handles the rest.
Couples retreating — Hot tub, fire pit, hammock built for two. The kind of reset you'll actually feel on Monday.
Pet owners — Fenced yard, outdoor rinse station, dog crate in the primary closet. Your dog is as welcome as you are.
