  This was the second time my husband and I have stayed at the Treehouse. It is the perfect get-away for a couple. The Treehouse is small, but cozy and has plenty of room for a long weekend away for two! The lake is very close to the Treehouse so fishing is easy; my husband caught around 15 bass this past weekend. You also have access to two smaller ponds on the property if you desire. Paula and Jim are wonderful and will give you a tour of the property if you would like! And the fresh eggs are highly recommended! We would definitely recommend staying with them!

  My boyfriend & I really needed a quiet, relaxing weekend together to simply unwind and get away from the world for a while. And we found it here at the Treehouse! Paula & Jim's description & photos of their property was spot-on; it was beautifully furnished, very well-maintained and a joy to stay there. The Archers are very good hosts. We highly recommend their ranch to any couples looking for some quiet time in a beautiful location, and also to families that would be interested in the other rental houses available for larger groups on their property. We will seriously consider bringing the kids back for another visit sometime! Plus the fishing was a lot of fun! Thank you Jim & Paula!

  This place is perfect. Secluded, quiet, yet close enough to anything yo may need. You're 30-45 minutes from about 5 different lakes, and you have an 8 acre fishing pond right out your door. We caught about 15 bass in 2 1/2 hours one morning! The owners, Paula and Jim, have thought of everything. We'll definitely go back. Wish we could have just moved in permanently!!

  The Tree House was WONDERFUL! My husband Jerry and I stayed there the weekend of July 15-17. We had a wonderful time. It was our weekend getaway from the kiddos! Ms.Paula and Mr.Jim are the most nicest, and caring people. Ms.Paula took the time to look at my photos that I took of the ranch. She loved them! Jerry and I needed that time alone. I am from Tyler,Tx....born and raised. I now live in Ft.Worth,Tx(Benbrook). It was so very nice to return back to my "roots" again. We plan on bringing our kiddos up to stay in the new house. Ms.Paula gave us a tour of it, while it was being built. Oh....don't forget to get some fresh eggs, they are wonderful! Thanks so much Ms.Paula and Mr.Jim for a trip of a lifetime. See you in October, and at the Ft.Worth Stockshow!

  We stayed at the Treehouse for our 16yr anniversary, and we were so plesantly supprised at what we saw when we drove up. It was absolutely beautiful, with a view of the lake through the tall pine trees. The ivy growing on the nearby trees and the huge elephant ears in the garden, it really set the mood. The pictures really did not capture the true feeling of peace and comfort you feel when you arrive. The stairway leading up to the door to the treehouse was lined with christmas lights, and that also was a nice touch, espically at night. The room was so clean and the decor was so much more elegant than the pics reveal. It really was like a cozy little house in the trees, the view of the garden on the side and the view of the lake and countryside was perfect. I am not what you would call a "country girl" but I really felt at home here and adventurous in a way. I even went out on the little boat with my husband and fished. He was very impressed, and I caught the two biggest fish of the stay. The privacy was also much more than we expected, with it being a guest ranch. It was like we were the only two people in the world. I would suggest the treehouse to anyone who wants to connect with eachother without the distractions of everyday life. But you aren't completely disconnected from the outside world, there is a dsl connection that was very helpful for us, because our cell phone service did not reach in that area, so we stayed in touch with our kids by email. We also got to pet baby goats, they were adorable. The kitchenette was perfect, I am a cook and there was really anything you would need right there. We did drive into Pittsburg, only a short 7 minute drive, to the grocery store to buy food and drinks. The tap water was great, so dont waste your time buying bottled water. This was probably the most affordable anniversary getaway we have had in 16 years and deffinately one of our most memorable. We plan to come back in the fall when the leaves are turning with our kids and stay in the pine grove cottage.

  My husband and I recently stayed in the Treehouse over the Memorial Day Weekend. The Treehouse is absolutely perfect for a couple wanting to relax, do a little fishing, enjoy beautiful scenery, and sleep in one of the best bed's we have ever slept in! Paula and Jim have a fantastic ranch and are so wonderful to share it with the rest of us. Everything is provided (even goodies to munch on) and the nearby towns of Winnsboro, Pittsburgh, and Mt. Pleasant are close enough to enjoy day trips. We visited the Los Pinos Winery for a sampling of great wines and delicious food. (open Fri-Sun.)and Efurd's Orchard (open all year) for peaches and other delicacies. Brewbaker's in Winnsboro was a great suggestion by Paula and Jim for lunch, but there are other restaurants we would have loved to eaten at but did not have the time! The fishing was great....caught a 3 1/2 pound bass thanks to Paula! We want to come back in the spring and fall to enjoy this great find again. You will NOT be disappointed at this terrific place!

  I took my hubby here for a "surprise" get away... and boy was he surprised! HE LOVED the fishing of course. I loved that I could still be with him and "enjoy" his fishing all while sitting on the pier with him reading my book! The Tree house was PERFECT! VERY CLEAN and very COMFORTABLE! Jim and Paula were wonderful host. We are planning on coming back to stay in the cottage with our two children. Thanks for a wonderful, relaxing time!!! Kellie B.

  My husband and I decided last minute to get away for the weekend. While searching tons of options, we chose the Treehouse! Our expectations were more than exceeded! The room was perfect for the two of us and we loved the inviting decor! There were (amazing) biscuits provided to us in the freezer and we had everything we could have wanted! The area itself is beautiful and relaxing. My husband and I fished for awhile- and he used the boat. The cool front made for a wonderful evening and we were able to play Farkle on the deck while listening to Sinatra's Greatest Hits and sleep with windows open (something we never do at home!) (The bed is super comfy too!) We also enjoyed all the animals on the ranch, what adorable goats, chickens, and the miniature horse! I'm recommending this reasonably priced, piece of Heaven to everyone I know... and plan to come back soon and often! Thanks to Jim and Paula for their hospitality, we really enjoyed out weekend!
