About this property

The Red Magnolia - Private Cabin on 27 Acres/Stocked Pond/Fishing/Longhorns

Escape to the peace and beauty of the The Red Magnolia, a charming barn-style cabin set on 27+ scenic acres with grazing longhorns, seasonal bluebonnets (on the Bluebonnet Trail), a private 2-acre stocked fishing pond, and unforgettable Texas sunsets.

Perfect for a romantic getaway or quiet retreat, this cozy cabin blends rustic charm with modern comfort. The upstairs bedroom offers a private space and balcony, while a sleeper sofa downstairs provides additional accommodations for guests.

As you enter through the gated entrance, you’ll pass the main house (approx 2000 feet from the entrance gate) before continuing down the road to your own private getaway.

Designed for relaxation, the cabin features a cozy yet functional layout with an upstairs bedroom, a sleeper sofa downstairs, a fully stocked kitchen, and washer and dryer - everything you need for a comfortable stay whether you’re here for a weekend escape or a longer retreat.

Spend your mornings with coffee on the porch, afternoons casting a line in the pond, and evenings soaking in the breathtaking Texas sunsets that stretch across the property.

While we do live on-site in the main home, the cabin is positioned to give guests their own private space while still offering the reassurance of a nearby host if anything is needed.

We went to The Red Magnolia for a quick get away. We only live 40 mins away but it was so nice to take a breath with the pups without pressure. The house had such special touches it instantly made us feel welcomed. The cows were so friendly and we were able to feed them from the fence. The pond is fully stocked with everything supplied to fish. It was exactly what we needed! Thank you letting us relax at your little red retreat

When we are not hosting, you can find us traveling, fishing and spending time outdoors. We also enjoy working on projects around the property.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I moved to Ennis (Bristol) in 2020 and have found it to be the perfect place for us! It didn’t take long to feel the small town, country charm. The people are wonderful and there is always something fun going on in town. It won’t take long for anyone that visits to fall in love with our growing community yet feeling the small-town charm! Welcome!
