What Walnut Creek Resort & Marina Offers
Walnut Creek describes itself as a small family-operated marina on the western end of the 89,000-acre lake, tucked between Highway 35 and Highway 75. That location keeps it quieter than some of the bigger commercial marinas closer to the dam, while still putting boaters within easy reach of the lake's main channels.
Cabins
The resort's nine cabins range from cozy two-person units to larger family cabins sleeping six to eight. Smaller cabins offer one room with a double bed, kitchenette, and bathroom; mid-size units add a separate bedroom and a convertible couch; the larger cabins split sleeping arrangements across two bedrooms. One unit is handicap-accessible. All cabins come with a TV, basic kitchen facilities, a bathroom, and an outdoor grill — simple, no-frills lake lodging rather than a luxury resort experience.
Campgrounds & RV Sites
Roughly 20 RV and camping sites round out the overnight options, making Walnut Creek a practical base for anyone testing out the area before committing to a purchase — spend a weekend in a cabin or RV site, then go look at homes for sale nearby with the lake lifestyle still fresh in mind.
Boathouses & Marina Access
The marina side is the resort's real draw for a lot of regulars: about 170 covered boat slips and boathouses, a fuel dock, and an on-site convenience store. Fishing guide services are also available, which matters on a lake known for striped bass. For anyone who already owns a boat — or plans to buy one along with a house — covered slip availability at a marina like this is worth checking directly, since good slips at established Texoma marinas tend to have waitlists.
Amenities and pricing can change season to season, so call ahead (903-523-4211) to confirm current cabin availability, slip openings, and rates before planning a visit.
Gordonville, TX: Real Estate Market & Lakeside Lifestyle
Gordonville is an unincorporated community in northwestern Grayson County, TX, sitting directly on the shore of Lake Texoma. It's a small place — a few thousand residents spread across the surrounding area — but its shoreline position is exactly why it draws steady interest from lake buyers. Gordonville TX real estate runs the gamut from modest cabins and cottage-style homes near the water to larger custom builds on acreage with private docks, which gives buyers at very different budgets and lifestyle goals a reason to look here.
Because Gordonville is unincorporated, it doesn't have its own city government, city taxes, or municipal zoning in the way an incorporated town does — county rules and, where applicable, homeowners' association or lake-authority requirements govern development instead. That can mean more flexibility for buyers who want acreage, a workshop, or room for RVs and boats, but it also means doing homework on septic, well water, flood zones, and any deed restrictions before buying. If you want a deeper look at how communities like this fit into the broader Texoma picture, our post on Lake Texoma's secret TX & OK communities is a good next read.
Proximity to Other Lake Texoma Amenities
Gordonville's location on the west side of the lake puts residents within a short drive of several other marinas and access points, so owning here doesn't lock you into just one stretch of shoreline. Rock Creek Marina, another long-running Texoma marina with slips, camping, and lake access, sits a reasonable drive away and is worth a look if Walnut Creek's slips or cabins are full. Eisenhower State Park, with its own camping and day-use areas, is also nearby for hiking, picnicking, and additional boat ramps.
For groceries, healthcare, and bigger-box shopping, most Gordonville residents head into Sherman, TX, the Grayson County seat, which is roughly a 20-to-30-minute drive and anchors the region's jobs, schools, and services. That combination — quiet lakefront living with a real city a short drive away — is a big part of why this stretch of the lake stays popular.

What Buyers Considering Property Near Here Should Know
A few practical points matter more here than in a typical subdivision. First, water access varies a lot lot by parcel — some Gordonville-area properties have private or shared docks, others are a short golf-cart ride from a public ramp or a marina like Walnut Creek where you'd rent a slip instead. Know which one you're getting before you fall in love with a view. Second, because lake levels on Texoma fluctuate seasonally, ask specifically about a property's dock permitting, any Army Corps of Engineers lease requirements for shoreline structures, and how the seller has handled boathouse or dock maintenance.
Third, financing and insurance can look different close to the water — flood zone designation, septic system age, and well water quality are all worth a specialist inspection rather than a standard home inspection alone. Finally, treat local marinas and resorts like Walnut Creek as amenities, not guarantees — slip availability, rental cabin pricing, and campground rules are set by each operator and can change, so verify current details directly with the business rather than assuming a listing description is current.
If you're weighing Lake Texoma cabins, marina access, and Gordonville TX homes for sale against each other, the right approach is usually to look at a handful of properties in person, talk to a local agent who knows which parcels have real deeded water rights, and get a feel for how far you actually want to be from a marina versus having your own dock.
