Lake Texoma Cabins and Places to Stay

Lake Texoma is a year-round getaway for anglers, boaters and families, and lodging around the lake ranges from rustic cabins and lake houses to hotels in nearby towns. This guide explains where to look and how to choose the right place for your trip.

Lake Texoma is a reservoir on the Red River along the Texas–Oklahoma border, created by Denison Dam, which was completed in 1944 and is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Tulsa District. The Red and Washita rivers feed the lake, and its shoreline touches Grayson and Cooke counties in Texas and Bryan, Marshall and Love counties in Oklahoma. Towns around the lake include Denison, Pottsboro and Gordonville on the Texas side and Durant, Kingston and Madill on the Oklahoma side.

Choose a side of the lake

The Texas side, around Pottsboro, Denison and Gordonville, is close to Sherman and the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Eisenhower State Park and the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge are nearby. The Oklahoma side, around Kingston, Durant and Madill, includes Lake Texoma State Park and quick access to the main body of the lake. Both sides have marinas, so pick the area closest to where you plan to fish or boat.

Types of lodging

• Vacation rental cabins and lake houses: best for groups and families who want a kitchen, room to park a boat and space to relax. Search with the Book a cabin button.
• Hotels and lodges: good for short trips and fishing weekends. Denison, Sherman and Durant have many chain hotels. Use the Book a hotel button.
• State park cabins and campgrounds: Texas and Oklahoma state parks and the USACE parks around the lake offer campsites, and some have cabins. See our Lake Texoma camping guide.

Tips for booking a Lake Texoma cabin

• Book early for summer weekends and holidays, which are the busiest times on the lake.
• Ask about boat or trailer parking and how far the cabin is from the nearest boat ramp or marina.
• Check whether the rental is lakefront, lake view or a short drive away. Listings use these terms differently.
• Lake levels change. Check the USACE Tulsa District Lake Texoma water control page if shoreline access matters to you.
• Read the cancellation policy, since spring storms can change plans.
