About this property

SweetDove Stays- Suite; w/ Stocked Lake, Secure Parking

Escape to a peaceful 40-acre retreat featuring a private lake, secure parking, and breathtaking views. Watch brilliant sunrises and sunsets, then unwind under a sky full of stars that stretch to the horizon.

Conveniently located just 5 minutes north of Emory, you’ll be close to multiple Lake Fork boat ramps and only 25 minutes from Canton’s world-famous First Monday Trade Days.

Explore all 40 fenced acres at your leisure. It’s true nature—so bring sturdy shoes and enjoy the adventure. (Expect uneven ground, branches, wildlife, and the occasional snake.)

We live on-site as hosts, and the SUITE was thoughtfully designed and built as our garage apartment—offering both privacy and support when you need it.

Great Country Getaway

The town of Emory, Texas, is adorable! This room is located a few minutes out of town in a beautiful country setting. I only wish we had more time to spend at the property, but we were here visiting with family. The next time we need to be in this area, we will definitely stay here again!
