About this property

Harts Landing - A cozy forest getaway for friends & family at Stag Leap Cabins!

Harts Landing is a two-bedroom/two-bath cabin hidden at the bottom of a hill just above the Bonaldo Creek. It's perfect for families or couples who want a private bedroom and bath. Due to its extra storage and space, it's also an excellent cabin for extended stays.

The main room is an open-concept living area and kitchen with a built-in daybed for additional sleeping. A leather reclining sofa, oversized occasional chair, and dining table with chairs provide ample seating for relaxing, visiting, and game-playing. A large smart TV provides our guests with additional entertainment options. This room's pine wood floors add a natural, rustic appeal, and all the windows allow our guests to enjoy the beautiful East Texas forest in the comfort of the indoors.

Unique granite countertops offer the perfect backdrop for preparing a tasty meal or snack in the kitchen. This area is equipped with an efficiency-sized stove/oven, a microwave, a standard coffee pot, cookware, and dinnerware. A small nook off the side of the kitchen leads to a refrigerator/freezer, a toaster, and the entrance to the master suite.

The master suite has a king bed, a Jacuzzi tub, a large vanity, and a private toilet room. A unique palladium window above the bed and a sliding glass door beckons nature inside this luxurious space. Black-out curtains can be pulled to ensure a restful night's sleep.

Off the master suite is a private deck with chairs and a small table. It's the perfect place to listen to morning songbirds with a cup of coffee or reminisce as romantic moonbeams filter through the trees.

The second bedroom has a beautiful queen-size poster bed and a small desk. This room also has a closet and a private bathroom with a shower and additional storage.

A covered porch with patio furniture and an extended wood deck with a picnic table and grill provide guests with plenty of outside seating for dining, visiting, and enjoying the natural setting. A fire pit and hammock are also available for soaking in the great outdoors, and just down the hill from the cabin is a beautiful, spring-fed creek for exploring and nature-watching.

Central heat/air regulates the temperature. Ceiling fans and portable fans are also provided for your increased comfort.

This cabin is close to the shared property hot tub, which can be reserved for private use in one-hour increments.

Get Away From The “Busy” of Life

The cabin was nestled in the woods of the property away from all the busy-ness of life. Awaking to to birds singing and deer crossing the paths around the cabin while I drank my morning coffee on the porch. Inside was very inviting and had a homey feel. I recommend this location if traveling for leisure or business.

About the host

Hosted by Sabrina Collins

Host profile image
Wayne and Mattie Collins own the property and still live in the main house, which also serves as the office. They purchased the property in the late 1980s. At the time, it was raw forest land with no improvements, but logging trails throughout the original 200 acres excited their son, Kirby, who was an ATV enthusiast. They were most interested in the property because of its varied terrain, the beautiful, spring-fed creek that runs through it, and its location to their childhood roots.

Kirby and his dad built a bachelor pad for Kirby (now the Treehouse) when he started attending Stephen F. Austin University. Upon Kirby and Sabrina's marriage in 1993, his cabin sat vacant, thus the beginning of the cabin rental business we affectionately call Stag Leap (befitting since the "stag" leaped out of his cabin into marriage).

It is a true family business - Mattie enjoys meeting our guests and will most likely greet you upon arrival. Kirby handles all the maintenance and grounds, and his wife, Sabrina, helps with reservations and website management. Their youngest daughter, Sydney, serves as Kirby's sidekick and helps with cabin cleaning, accounting, and marketing.

Together, we love giving our guests an authentic East Texas experience.

Why they chose this property

Growing up in rural East Texas has given us a deep appreciation for natural settings. We love our tall pine, oak, and hickory trees and the creek that runs through our property. Having a lot of acreage adds to our feeling of safety and privacy and gives us plenty of roaming room.

Being close to Lake Nacogdoches is a real plus, too. We have spent many summers boating on the lake with our children. Stag Leap is an easy drive to both Nacogdoches and Lufkin. Both towns have bustling downtown areas for shopping and special events, and each offers unique places to visit and explore. We enjoy the small-town feel with many great shopping, dining, and entertainment options.

What makes this property unique

Stag Leap is located on a 250+-acre woodland with secluded cabins scattered along the sandy-bottom Bonaldo Creek. We are the perfect getaway for a romantic weekend, family reunions, small group retreats, or extended stays. Our relaxing, cozy, home-like setting doesn't compare to what you'll find in a hotel!

We are close to numerous popular activities and attractions. We are ten minutes from historic downtown Nacogdoches, with brick streets, quaint antique shops, and numerous museums and historical landmarks. A short drive from our property is Stephen F. Austin University, home of the Lumberjacks and its state-recognized azalea gardens, the largest in Texas.

Nacogdoches is also a prime destination for pickleball and disc golf enthusiasts, and fishermen love that we are just four miles from Lake Nacogdoches, which provides boating, swimming, fishing, and disc golf opportunities. As part of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Pineywood Trail, we also offer excellent opportunities for bird watching and other wildlife without ever leaving our property, so bring your binoculars!

We offer six uniquely decorated cabins that are private and secluded from each other. Our cabins offer various sleeping accommodations and have fully stocked kitchens, free WiFi, satellite television, charcoal grills, and air conditioning. Most have whirlpool Jacuzzi tubs (inside or outside) and electric log fireplaces for a romantic ambience. All linens (sheets, bath towels, washcloths, dish towels) are provided.

We offer a large, centrally located hot tub for all guests and other amenities and activities such as golf cart rentals, disc golf, basketball, horseshoes, and hiking.
