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.

Katie Beth was a very attentive host. Her cabin was incredible. The location was perfect and so private . The pastures and areas were absolutely beautiful. We had the best stay in East Texas.Thank you
If you need a get away, feed the horses and donkeys Vanilla Wafers, then this is the place! The Cabin is so well thought out with the guests in mind. We had such a relaxing time, just what we needed!
My husband and I had a wonderful time at Henry’s Homeplace! These pics are nice, but it was even better in person I promise! Hosts were amazing as was everything about the cabin, property and animals they share with you. We will definitely be back!
My 3 young children and I enjoyed this stay and the communication with Katie was great. The kids loved being able to see and pet the horses, cows, and donkey.
Beautiful property with a lot of charm. Owners are very accommodating. Wishing we could live there!

About the host
Hosted by Katie Beth Henry
The Henry Family has had this property since the early 1900's. Grandma and Grandpa Henry built the home after their wedding in 1935 and raised 4 kids there, all of which Grandma delivered in the home! Grandma lived there until 2004. Over the years it was remodeled and additions were put on the front, back and side of the house.
We recently realized that it was time to do more work on the house and decided to get it back to as close to the original home as possible. We removed the additions and used the original floor plan with the exception of the adding a bathroom in the center of the cabin. We salvaged as much of the old wood from the house and used it as we turned back time to create our new original home.
We were blessed to get to do much of the remodel on our own with some help from an amazing local contractor. We found layers of old wall paper, boards tied together with old tobacco cans, and even messages written on boards in both chalk and pencil! This home has so much history and we hope to get to show you some of the super special things that we were able to save and include in the build when you visit!
During the week we live in a small town north of Houston, but are usually in town on the weekends. We have a home on the property that is set back behind the cabin, so if it's a weekend, we may get to meet you and give you our suggestions for great restaurants and gathering places!
