About this property

Bucks Head - A romantic forest getaway at Stag Leap Cabins!

Bucks Head is a secluded cabin tucked away in the woods of East Texas. This open-concept cottage includes a king bed, a loveseat, and a comfortable occasional chair for watching your favorite streaming app on TV. An electric fireplace provides the perfect romantic ambience year-round and additional warmth in the winter.

The kitchenette includes a coffee bar and provides all the necessary supplies for preparing meals and snacks. It is equipped with a microwave, toaster, coffee maker, efficiency-sized stove/oven, and a refrigerator/freezer.

French doors lead from the kitchen to a private, covered deck with a table and chairs for outdoor enjoyment.

A window seat allows one to relax and enjoy a captivating woodsy view or could serve as additional bedding for a younger child (not recommended for an adult or older child).

The bathroom has a unique palladium window by the Jacuzzi tub so guests can soak and relax while enjoying a view of tall hickory and oak trees. A shower is also provided.

The cabin is kept comfortable with thermostatically controlled heat and air. In addition, an electric fireplace, ceiling fan, and a portable fan are available.

We had a fantastic stay! We came up to visit our daughter for SFA parents weekend and the location here worked out great - 15 mins from town. The property is beautiful and the hosts provided quick responses to anything. Especially if you have a few family members coming up seems to be a great place to have a couple cottages to rent for everyone.Thanks again!

Our Honeymoon

The cottage was gorgeous. The secluded, wooded area where cottage was located was just fabulous. The peace and quiet was wonderful. We really enjoyed the 1.6 hiking trail and the golf cart was a fun way to see the other cabin areas. We would love to come back when the Azalea are in bloom.

We were here on a business conference and wanted to stay a bit away from the downtown. It was a very restful stay and private! The cabin was quite cozy, very clean and comfortable. The fresh towels mid-week were a pleasant surprise. The serenity of the woods is always wonderful for the soul ~ the birds calling in the morning, the racoon peeking around the corner of the cabin as we sat on the porch, and the wild hog with 3 babies that crossed in front of us as we entered one evening. The host, Sabrina, is such a lovely person to work with. The story of this property is delightful and the binder on the desk is very helpful with other information as well. We recommend the cabins at Stag Leap for a really nice getaway.

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.
