About this property

Hilltop Hideaway -1500+ sq/ft home - views of private lake on 42 beautiful acres

The Hilltop Hideaway, known as "The Hill" in our family, is a cherished, special place where so many great family memories have been made. The Hill is situated on 42 beautiful, East Texas acres overlooking a 4 acre, stocked private pond. The pond is stocked with perch and bass. The elevated deck is a perfect spot to enjoy the beautiful scenery any time of the day, but is a special place in the evening when the sun is setting!
Feel free to explore the 4+ miles of trails, enjoy a game of horseshoes, sit with family down by the pond and experience the beauty of East Texas!

House was very nice, I loved the isolated location of the property and the security of being inside a gate. One slight negative is the narrow and tight spacing for those like me who are on a fishing trip and pulling a boat, but other than that it was perfect.

Great Stay for First Monday Show

This wooded property was beautiful, with a cozy home and a pond/lake. The home owners provided bottled water in the fridge. Also, there was a box of laundry detergent in the laundry room. We enjoyed our stay in this nicely furnished home!

Seeing the doe and her 2 fawns down at the dam when we arrived was the perfect start to a wonderful stay. It was very comfortable and everything we needed and more was there. We booked this accomodation for its location during the total solar eclipse and it did not disappoint. 🌞🌘

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was perfect! Cabin is so welcoming and stocked with all amenities. View in the back is very nice. 2 decks out back that were so relaxing. We enjoyed the Canton First Monday Trade Days weekend. It's an easy drive from this property. Nice small town of Mineola nearby with shops and restaurants. Would stay again...we will be back!

Quiet little get away

We enjoyed getting away from the hustle and bustle of it all. We wished the weather was a bit warmer so we could enjoy more of the outdoors, but no one can control that. It is what it is.
