About this property

Newly Restored Family Cabin With a Relaxing Charm

The family home place has been restored to as close to original as possible. We of course added a few simple luxuries such as an indoor bathroom, heating and air, and electricity. This little cottage is 425 square feet with 2 queen beds and a queen sleeper sofa. Original boards, doors and windows from the house were saved and are once again a part of this amazing home.

Sitting on the edge of the 85 acre home place, guests can take short stroll to the fishing pond, walk the paved road for exercise, build a fire in the backyard fire pit or say hello to our Black Baldy cattle. The area is peaceful, the wildlife are always sneaking around and our sweet kitty Poppat will likely pay you a visit!

The local towns have lots to offer from Palestine's collection of antique stores and amazing restaurants, to wineries and a great brewery in Athens. Don't forget to catch a ride on the scenic train ride from Palestine to Rusk in the Fall and Summer or for the Polar Express ride in the Winter!! We are just a 45 minute drive from Canton Texas home of the First Monday Trade Days.

Amazing escape

The cabin was super cute! A lot of extra necessities in case you forgot something. The feeding the horses and donkeys was so much fun. Relaxing under the stars in the hot tub at night was one of the best parts.Everything was super clean and the host were awesome!
