East Texas · 1 Hour East of Dallas
Whatabarndo – Barndominium Rental near Dallas with Hot Tub · Sleeps 14
Your modern country retreat on 11+ private acres.
A collection of barndominiums surrounding a resort-style pool, located on 11+ acres about an hour east of Dallas — between Lake Tawakoni and Lake Fork, in the heart of East Texas.
As you pull up the long private gravel drive, you'll immediately understand the modern country tranquility that awaits you and your guests. You're not in the city anymore — and you'll quickly appreciate the uniqueness of this property as you approach the barndos.
Between the pool, jacuzzi, fire pit, and dedicated game room, there's space for the whole crew to spread out — and come back together. Welcome to your modern, country retreat.
Where the family gathers — chef-like kitchen, large living and dining space with smart TV, 2 private bedrooms, a bathroom, and a fun "deer stand" loft for sleeping or curling up with a book.
Its own unique experience with full kitchen and living space. The loft sleeps a crowd with 3 full beds — perfect for big family groups or teenagers — plus a shared bathroom.
At the end of the resort-style pool: a game room with a full-size 8-ft billiard table and TV. A separate structure means late-night gaming without waking the house.
A private building 100 paces away with a dedicated desk, monitor, and TV projection — take calls, host a Zoom, or spread out at the large multi-purpose table.
Whatabarndo sits on 11+ acres in the rolling countryside of East Texas, about an hour east of Dallas and right between two of the state's best fishing lakes. Lake Fork — famous for trophy largemouth bass — and Lake Tawakoni are both a short drive away, perfect for a morning on the water or a lazy afternoon with a line in. The nearby town of Emory offers small-town cafés, barbecue, and the easygoing feel that makes this stretch of Texas so easy to love.
The big draw is Canton First Monday Trade Days, the world's largest flea market, just 32 miles up the road — more than 450 acres of antiques, crafts, food, and finds that pull shoppers from across the country one weekend a month. Closer to home you'll find wineries, roadside produce stands, and plenty of quiet back roads for a sunset drive. With Dallas only an hour west, you can pair big-city dinners and shopping with the peace of a private country retreat. Whether you came to fish, shop Canton, or just unplug by the pool, Whatabarndo puts you in the middle of it all — and a world away from the city.
Just an hour east of Dallas, a world away. Check availability and book your modern country retreat.
