Eat, Play and Stay at Possum Kingdom Lake: Pizza, Boats and Cabins

October 29, 2026 · News & More

Eat, play and stay: that’s the whole idea behind our newest Reel. It strings together a perfect Possum Kingdom Lake day — pizza from Pie House, tacos and live music at PK Ice House, a rented boat from The Cliffs Marina and an afternoon at Rocker B Ranch — and ends where every good lake day should, back at The Retreat, our six Possum Kingdom Lake cabins at 1782 FM 2951 in Graford, Texas. Here’s the longer version, with links for planning your own trip.

Possum Kingdom Lake cabins across the street from the water

The Reel opens over the lake itself, then cuts to the kitchen and dining table at All Decked Out. That’s the home base for everything else in the video. All Decked Out sleeps 8 in three bedrooms with two full baths, and it’s single-story with step-free entry and a large deck — easy for grandparents, strollers and coolers alike. The full kitchen means breakfast in, snacks for the boat and a big table when everyone comes back hungry.

All six cabins at The Retreat have a full kitchen, a grill, a washer and dryer and parking for two vehicles, and guests share the community pool. New to The Retreat? Our first News & More post, Meet The Retreat, gives the full property tour.

Eat: pizza from Pie House

First stop in the Reel is pizza from @piehousepk. Pie House is the sister spot to Hemmingway’s on Scenic Point Road, serving pizza, sandwiches, beer and wine for dine-in or to-go. The fun part for lake days: you can pick up your order boat-side at Hemmingway’s slips, so lunch doesn’t mean leaving the water. On a lazy evening, a few pies to-go and the dining table back at the cabin works just as well.

Room for everyone: Lake Sippin and Marina Vista

Between food stops the Reel peeks into the bedrooms. Lake Sippin shows off its bunk room — the room the kids will fight over — and sleeps 8 in three bedrooms with two full baths. Marina Vista also sleeps 8 in three bedrooms with two full baths, single-story with step-free entry and a covered deck. Neither one has a hot tub, so if a soak matters, keep reading.

Together, the six cabins sleep up to 44, which makes The Retreat an easy fit for reunions and team weekends. Our group cabin rentals page has sample combinations.

Tacos and live music at PK Ice House

Next up is @pk.ice.house, a laid-back spot for Texas-style tacos, burgers and cold drinks, with live music, a big backyard and yard games. It’s under new owners and has been posting events this fall. Hours can vary, so check their page before you head over, especially on weeknights.

Play: rent a boat at The Cliffs Marina

No boat? No problem. @cliffsmarina rents 24-foot tritoons and Sea-Doos, and it has covered slips and a ship store. It’s a handy starting point for a run to Hell’s Gate, the lake’s famous limestone cliffs. Rental days and times change with the season, so book ahead on their site. Bringing your own boat instead? There’s a public ramp across the street from the cabins and boat trailer parking at The Retreat. Our boat rentals and swimming guide rounds up the marinas and swim spots.

Stay: Lake Escape and hot tub nights

After a day in the sun, the Reel slows down in a Lake Escape bedroom, then shows the hot tub jets. Lake Escape sleeps 6 in two bedrooms and has a private hot tub, an indoor fireplace and a pack ‘n play for little ones. Three of our six cabins have a private hot tub that runs year-round: Lake Escape, Beneath The Stars and Bearpaw. Those same three are the cabins with an indoor fireplace. Compare them on our cabins with hot tubs page.

Rocker B lodging that feels like a lake house

The Reel’s last stop is @rockerbranchtx, and its closing slide puts it plainly: Beneath The Stars, labeled Rocker B Ranch lodging. Rocker B Ranch has baseball and softball fields, a resort-style pool and water slide, and hosts weddings and events. Our cabins are just 10 minutes away. When you’re in town for a game weekend or a wedding, a private cabin gives you a kitchen for team breakfasts, a grill for the evening and a quiet bed after a long day at the fields.

Beneath The Stars sleeps 6 with a private hot tub, an indoor fireplace and a pack ‘n play. Our Rocker B Ranch guide covers the drive and how group stays usually work, and our earlier post, Lodging Near Rocker B Ranch, goes deeper on team trips. Pick a cabin: Lake Escape · Beneath The Stars · Bearpaw · All Decked Out · Marina Vista · Lake Sippin.

A Possum Kingdom lake house rental, six times over

Each cabin works like a Possum Kingdom lake house rental: a whole house to yourselves, with free Wi-Fi, a Smart TV, air conditioning and your own laundry. Guests share the community pool (open 8 AM to 10 PM), walking trails and a pavilion with picnic tables. Check-in is self-serve with a smart lock after 4 PM, and checkout is before 10 AM. Our guests rate every cabin 5.0. Questions before you book? Call us at (940) 445-2122.
