Scenic View Motel & RV Park

LONE STAR WEATHER

Welcome to the perfect getaway, Scenic View Motel, Marina & RV Park in Lone Star, Texas.

Established in the mid-1940s, this property has been a hidden jewel for nearly eighty years.

Lone Star Lake is definitely off the beaten path. Through the years, the lake has retained its peaceful beauty and it remains a great place to “get away from it all”.

We moved from the Dallas area in 1998 and nothing has been the same since.  We enjoy life, our family, and nature.  Here, we have found a little piece of heaven on earth and are eager to share it with you, your family, and friends.

Aren’t you ready for a break from your busy life?  Isn’t it time to relax and have some fun?”
~ Kim & Jim Sly, Owners

Lone Star Lake is a great recreation lake. You can have a terrific time fishing, swimming, water skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, riding a jet ski, cruising the lake on a barge or in a boat, or just sitting on the bank enjoying the beauty of the tall pine trees and beautiful scenery.

In addition, almost everyone who stays here agrees, this lake has the most incredible sunsets that you have ever seen.

Marina & Lake Activities

This is a great fishing lake. It receives very little fishing pressure, resulting in a substantial fish population. The good fishing has resulted in numerous bass clubs holding club tournaments here each year. A good challenging time can be found on this lake. Are you up for a good challenge?

The lake was built in 1943. The area of the lake is 1,516 acres of water, 29+ miles of shoreline with water depth from 4′ to 45′. The lake record bass was caught on February 25, 2017. The largemouth bass weighed 11.45 pounds and was 24.5 inches long. It was weighed at the Scenic View Motel, RV Park & Marina’s store and released. As far as we know, it is waiting to be caught and weighed again. The weight of fish caught ranges from 1 to 10 pounds.

Local Bass Clubs have found this is an excellent place to stay for Lone Star Lake (Ellison Reservoir) Fishing Tournaments. You will be right on the water.

It is also an excellent place to stay for Lake O’ the Pines Fishing Tournaments. These events occur numerous times throughout the year, and it can be challenging to find motel rooms or RV sites. Lake O’ the Pines is only three miles away from Scenic View, making it easy to get to the fishing ramps.

All the fish that have been brought in and weighed have been released back into the lake. We look forward to a good spawn, ensuring there will always be plenty of fish to be found here.

A hidden treasure!!!!!! Kim and Jim are perfectly wonderful hosts and care about their guests. Their personal touches are all around you. Thank you for an oasis during our stay. The view and the lake are beautiful and the room was fantastic. I honestly can't say enough about this place except LOVE IT! LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!!!!!

Kim and Jim welcomed us like old friends. There is a community of friends and guests who gather on Thirsty Thursday for drinks and a potluck. We spent our first two nights in the rustic cabin and loved it. The next two nights we were in one of the motel rooms. The cabin was roomy, clean and decorated nicely. The motel room was older, but clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay here on our next visit from Oregon! The view of the lake is gorgeous and the covered deck is great!

The room I rented was clean and comfortable. The boat ramp there is very nice, with a couple nice boat slips. People who run the motel are friendly. Nice stay, over all

I recently stayed here from the 18th to the 24th and was extremely happy with my stay. I've never slept well in hotels or motels and didn't think I ever would until I stayed here. It was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. It was the first time in years that I slept through the night. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with all the amenities needed. Jim and Kim were both such wonderful and likable and made me feel at home. I'll be staying here whenever I visit again.

Perfect getaway, or home away from home 😎 Amazing views, quite property, tons of accommodations available from renting a room or a cabin, to bringing your own camper and hooking up right on the shore front! Rent a boat, or a kayak or just soak up the sun and grill on the beach. Give this place a go, you won’t be disappointed 👌

A gem of a place and a wonderful experience here at Scenic View! Hosts were very welcoming and attentive. The room was clean and well stocked. There are many lakeside seating options to enjoy the sunset over the lake, and to peacefully enjoy morning coffee. Lone Star is fortunate to have Scenic View as such a draw to the area. I will be back!

Kim and Jim are wonderful! We had a small snafu upon checking but they went above and beyond to take care of us and make us happy. It’s a beautiful, simple place with a ton of character. You shouldn’t look any more and you should book here. This is the perfect, quiet and CLEAN place to stay and get away. 5 star ⭐️ treatment!

Beautiful views of the lake, motel is clean and comfortable, and the owners are super friendly and accommodating. The RV spots are well-maintained and easily accessible, with beautiful lake views and easy access to grills and lake. So glad we stayed here and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable spot to stay!

A 5-star review, and I haven’t even been there, ... yet. I called in hopes of finding a tent camping spot. The state parks were not taking reservations, with no word on when things would open up. Kim answered my call. She did not have a tent site to offer, but she went completely out of her way to help me, even calling me back twice with more information. Thanks to Kim, I was able to get a site reserved the next day at another park. THANK YOU!

We generally come here to camp. We very much like the way Jim and Kim take care of us. Most recently we stayed in the cabin. It was a wonderful room and the lake view was incredible.
