About this property

The Texas Roost - 1-bedroom country guest house 7.4 miles to Kilgore College.

Your Kilgore getaway awaits at this fabulous 1-bedroom guest house, which is separate from the main house on 8.3 acres of country landscape. The cozy accommodations feature 416 sq ft of living space and include one bedroom with a queen bed.

It includes a fully equipped kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, living and dining space, and a desk for those times when work demands your time. A deck and outdoor gas grill complement the space. With heating, WiFi, and AC, you will feel right at home. The bathroom offers a refreshing shower and a hairdryer for convenience.

Smart TV’s are wall-mounted in both the living area and bedroom. Both are TCL with Android operating systems. Feel free to logon using your own account or watch free Google TV. The living room TV has an HDMI connection from the TV to a wall plate below the TV for easy connection of your game console, DVD player, or other electronic device. You’ll also find several puzzles and games for your entertainment.

Sit on the deck in the evening and watch for deer in the west pasture or along the tree line to the north of the chicken coop. Located in the countryside west of Kilgore city limits, there is little light pollution, so you can sit on the deck at night and stargaze. Watch for passing satellites, meteors, count the stars, or just enjoy the quietness of the night. It is absolutely amazing.

This home is just west of Kilgore and about 3.2 miles south of I-20. It has easy access to Kilgore, Longview, Tyler, and surrounding towns. Feel free to visit the chicken coop and see our feathered friends, and you'll enjoy a few fresh eggs provided by the hens during your stay. You'll find them in the refrigerator upon your arrival. Additional eggs are available for purchase should you want to take some home with you. And if you need a few groceries or other items, a Dollar General Store is nearby, or you can travel into Kilgore to Walmart, Brookshires, or to visit one of many restaurants for dine-in or takeout. While on property, you will enjoy fresh UV-filtered well water.

Kick back, relax, and enjoy everything Kilgore and our guest house has to offer. We hope you enjoy your stay with us.

The Texas Roost has many home touches, the kitchen is well equipped, and the fresh eggs were a delight. The location is a quiet neighborhood surrounded by woods. The host provided good communication and was very accommodating to our needs. I will stay here again at the next opportunity.

The Texas Roost is a beautiful property! It sits on a gorgeous piece of land in a tucked away area of the edge of Kilgore. It is idyllic, and hosts a very cute rooster/chicken coop.My colleague and I were traveling on business, and found the property extremely comfortable. John was very welcoming, and has put a lot of care into making the space very inviting. We were greeted with fresh eggs in the fridge, as well as a stocked kitchen with coffee, which kept us going on our 3-day business trip. As business travelers, it was important for us to have a clean and safe stay. Not only was the space immaculate, the property sits on a gated community, which gave us additional assurances. 10/10 would recommend to anyone seeking a tranquil and stress-free stay in Kilgore!

About the host

Hosted by John Hallford

Host profile image
I grew up and spent most of my life in Carrollton, Texas (north Dallas suburb). At the end of August 2021, I moved to Central Florida and spent three years enjoying something different. Though I loved my Florida home, I eventually moved back to Texas to be closer to family who live in Longview. This is how I landed in Kilgore, and I've found a new home, neighborhood friends, and an awesome church. And I'm closer to family in Longview and others in Arlington.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood offered something I was told was not possible which is privacy and a neighborhood. It has land (8.3 acres) and a community of people. It's a home in the country and in close proximity to others. It truly is the best of both worlds for me. My property is on the corner of the community, so it gives me the ability to enjoy the 8.3 acres I own on the back side of the house and friends and neighbors on the front side. I can sit on the patio and enjoy total privacy, or I can head out the front and hang out with friends.

What makes this property unique

My property is unique in this community as it is on a corner lot. To the west is an open field with an incredible view of the night sky. It provides privacy, but if I want to be with my neighborhood friends, I can head out to the east side of the house, drive the streets in my side-by-side, and meet and talk with other homeowners. This is country living in a community of people.
