About this property

SweetDove Stays- Cabin; 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.)

My wife and I were able to get away and stay at this nice property. We relaxed reading a book, watching tv, sitting outside with nature, and fishing. Property owners were in touch for information that made our stay more enjoyable and stress free. Highly recommend this amazing place.

Pure Awesomeness

Fantastic location nearby Lake Fork and towns. Super clean, modern, with all of amenities you need. The greatest bonus for us was the stocked pond for fishing while we we’re in between the other activities we had planned.

Quiet and relaxing

My buddy and I stayed for four days because we were going to fish lake fork. The cabin was very nice and right outside the door a great view. It was very peaceful and quiet. Everything went real smooth, and the host was very gracious and informative. I would definitely stay again.

Host was great and very responsive. Property is awesome. Very well setup and well taken care of. Pond was low but that is Texas often times. Caught a few fish and enjoyed the view which is beautiful. Lodging was immaculate and looks to be quite new but as mentioned you can tell the upkeep here is topnotch. Highly recommend if the size fits your need. Can easily sleep 4.Thanks!
