About this property

Warm & Welcoming Texas Stay / Straw Bale Charm / Private Lake / Sleeps 6 adults

Welcome to Caney Acres!

Our getaway offers a spacious and comfortable retreat for families, couples, or friends who want a peaceful place to relax, reconnect with nature, and still enjoy all the comforts of home.

Each bedroom features a king-size bed, and the sunroom includes a queen sleeper sofa. There’s also room for air mattresses if needed for children—two twin air mattresses or a portable playpen are available upon advance request. That means sleeping space for 6 in beds and 2 children on air mattresses.

Enjoy meals together at the dining table or kitchen island. The kitchen is fully stocked with plates, silverware, bowls, and platters—plus some paper and plastic options for convenience. Need something special? Just ask—we may have it available!

A regular coffee pot and Keurig are provided, along with starter coffee, creamer, and sweeteners. You’ll also find a full-size refrigerator with freezer and ice maker.

Step out onto the large deck overlooking our private lake—accessible from the driveway or through the sunroom. String lights create the perfect evening glow, or turn them off and enjoy a spectacular view of the night sky.
Additional seating areas are located near the carport and grill, as well as just outside the master bathroom door.

Wi-Fi is available throughout the home, with Roku streaming on two TVs and HDMI cables ready for use. You’ll also find books and games in the dining area and sunroom for a cozy night in.

There’s covered parking for one vehicle under the carport, plus additional parking along the gravel drive and extra space for trucks or boat trailers. A convenient electrical outlet is located near the parking area for charging boat batteries.

Catch-and-release fishing is available for those who want to enjoy a little quiet time by the water. Bring your favorite tackle.

Traveling with a Dog?
We offer a fenced “country dog yard” next to the carport and grill—check out the photos in our listing for more details. It’s understood the dogs are friendly, house-trained, and current on vaccinations and flea prevention. Dog owners agree to follow all house rules regarding pets.
Please note: any indoor accidents may require professional carpet and rug cleaning, which could result in an additional cleaning fee.

We believe Caney Acres is a beautiful home and outdoor retreat everyone can enjoy. By booking, guests acknowledge and accept the natural risks that come with our peaceful country setting—such as outdoor surfaces, stairs to the deck, nearby water, and encounters with wildlife or nature. Children must be supervised at all times.

We look forward to welcoming you to Caney Acres and hope you find the peace and quiet you’ve been looking for.

Very unique house and property, and we really enjoyed our stay. Lots of privacy and the house has all the comforts that you would expect, along with a fully equipped kitchen. The outside spaces are inviting, with shade, interesting plants and bird feeders.

This home far exceeded our expectations. We stayed for 2 nights. We planned a "ladies day in the country." We used the home to allow us to reconnect. The kitchen was well stocked; wine glasses, crockpot, bowls, platters... everything was well organized. There were plenty of towels, blankets and pillows. We cooked, played games, watched a movie and enjoyed the immaculate keep grounds. One hubby showed up one evening to fish. He caught several fish and released them. The host was a wealth of knowledge, kind, and communication was quick. I would 100% book here again.

About the host

Hosted by Galen & Suzanne

Host profile image
We grew up in the city but find we like small town and country life more enjoyable. We have lived here for almost 30 years but have been coming to this property for over 50.

Why they chose this property

This piece of property has been in the family for over 50 years. It is close enough to town to get there easily but secluded where you have your own hideaway.

What makes this property unique

This is one of two straw bale / stucco homes in Fannin County. Just look at the pictures and you can see the love and creativity put into the building of this home and property. Come see for yourself.
