If you're thinking about a friend's getaway this fall, when you pull your money together you could be staying in one fancy house - excuse me - in a villa not too far from East Texas for not a lot of money.

A short drive from Tyler and Longview is the Lake Front Villa. Sitting on the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard in Rowlett, it's the perfect place for an upscale weekend getaway or a girl's getaway weekend. There are quite a few things to do at the villa, including swimming (when it's hot), kayaking, billiards, a mini-basketball court, and other games.

The pictures don’t do the house any justice. I couldn’t have picked a better house to celebrate my birthday. - a review comment from Chantel

As with any rental property, the rental fee depends upon the time of season and the day of the week, but I took a look at this place for you right after New Year's 2025. It rents out at $678 a night, but when you split that between 15 of your friends because the max capacity is 16 guests, it comes out to be about $58 a night once all the fees are added on. When you stay for a couple of nights, that's pretty affordable in a place that has spectacular views all around, including Lake Ray Hubbard.

Where are you going to sleep?

This place has six bedrooms and can sleep up to 16 people. Every bed size imaginable is available in this place. From king to queen to twin and sofa beds, you're definitely going to find a place to crash your head after a full day by the pool, on the lake, or on the court.

A very beautiful house with a nice and spacious view of the lake everything about this house is breathtaking. - a review comment from Sharon

You'll feel like you're in a luxurious hotel when you walk into this place thanks to its huge grand living room that opens up to the second floor. Whip up a meal in the grand kitchen by letting that inner chef in your out or have dinner brought in. No matter what you do there are plenty of dining areas to eat in, three to be exact.

Are there any extra or hidden charges?

Well, as with anything there are some extra fees. If you plan on using the heated jacuzzi, there will be an extra charge and if you plan on bringing a pet, you'll incur an additional charge there too.

I can see Lake Front Villa being the perfect place for a bachelorette get-together the weekend before the big wedding day.

Thanks to inflation a lot of us are watching our budgets a little more closely these days, but that doesn't mean we can't splurge on ourselves every now and again. When you get a group of your friends together to go in on renting this house or - excuse me - villa, it's really not that bad.

This Fredericksburg, TX Airbnb Is Like Something 'Straight Out Of A Horror Movie'

We all may remember the house from Nightmare on Elm Street or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. When you think of these, you don't exactly get all warm and fuzzy inside. Instead, it's more like a lump in your throat or stomach-sinking feeling. Unfortunately, for some travelers, this is the feeling they're getting when they pull up to this home in Fredericksburg, Texas. By the looks of the place from the outside, I get it.
