About this property

P.T. Cabin provides a private pond & stars included! 5 mins to Jacksboro, Tx.

The Purple Thistle Cabin is a small rustic cabin, approximately 860 sq ft., nestled in country seclusion. Imagine yourself enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. The Mourning Dove call…The cows mooing in the distance? A baby calf suckling its mama? Turkeys drinking at the tank. It is often said, the cabin gives inspiration while nourishing ones soul. The Purple Thistle cabin provides a peaceful place for writing and book reading, pond fishing or napping. The small town of Jacksboro is a short drive (quick 5 min.) and Fort Richardson State Park is approximately 2 miles. The State Park has a 10 mile trail around Lake Jacksboro which is a favorite for cyclists, hikers, and kayakers alike.
The cabin, which is non-smoking, is located on a working ranch property and does have a gated private entrance. The cabin is located approximately 300 yards off a major highway. Guests must have reservations to enter.
Please Note: The Cabin is a 24-7-365 Non-Smoking “property.” We also do not allow pets or unregistered guests. A minimum of $300.00 will be accessed for smoking, pets, or guests not registered at booking. In addition, this property is not set up for construction crew lodging. If you are in the construction business please let us know as we may have other sites available which will better suit your needs. House rules prevail. They are posted within this site as well as within the house. Important to also note: Often a county-wide burn ban is in effect.

Thank you for staying with us. Glad the communication thing finally worked out! STR’s are different than hotels. Communication with Host weighs highly on acceptance of booking. Many thanks for taking such good care of our little cabin. Welcome anytime!

Wonderful Retreat

What an amazing retreat! This cabin has captured my heart! Stayed here for a “workcation” to escape the crowds, detox from the city and get some computer work done. Host was amazing, and had prepared everything we needed and more. WiFi was very good. Quiet, peaceful, restful. Hope to return very soon!

Cold and Cozy

We've stayed here multiple times and it's always a pleasant experience. This time Texas was freezing and they made sure we had fire wood to keep warm in the frigid conditions. You won't regret staying here at any time of year. Heat in the winter and air-conditioning. in the hot Texas summers.

Peaceful stay!

We were looking for a quiet place to ring in the New Year, and this cabin was exactly what were looking for. This place is off the beaten path and has tons of peace and quiet. We enjoyed watching the stars in such a clear night sky, and sitting by the pond and listening to nature. Our host Anna was super flexible and accomodating when my travel plans changed. She even made us (delicious) cookies! We are super grateful for her accomodations. Definitely recommend staying in this cabin!
