Country Get Away Cabin In The East Texas Piney Woods
Located in Larue, this cottage is on the waterfront. Bullard Golf Course and Faulkner Tennis Center are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Lake Palestine and Winchester Park. New York - Texas Zipline Adventure and Waterpark at the Villages are also worth visiting. Looking to get your feet wet? Kayaking, power boating and fishing adventures can be found near the property.
The family needed a couple of days of pure relaxation and we found it at this property. The property is located right on Lake Palestine and is supreme for fishing and boating. The property has 2 nice rooms and a loft which our teen loved. The kitchen and dining held all of our eating activities with no issues. Everyone had plenty of room and we enjoyed our stay. The hostess instructions to enter the property was spot on. We will be coming back!!!
This was such an amazing location for a family get away. Very clean house, amazing back yard leading down to the lake and more peace and quiet than we expected. We will be back again!The host was very responsive to us and ensured we had all we needed for our stay.
The house was great, plenty of space and beautiful views. Everything we needed was there, the house was fully stocked with dishes, towels and linens. Check in and out process was very easy. The grass needed to be mowed and there were aunts and wasps on the porches and boat dock, an easy fix and maybe just overlooked the timing of our stay. Would recommend this place for a family weekend getaway.
Overall we had a great stay at this property. Just a couple of things that keep this one from being a 5 star house. Nothing major and one of them the owner can do nothing about. They are at the mercy of the county to fix the road going in to the property.

Communication was excellent. Access into the house was easy. Owner mentioned that the road to the house was bumpy, but we didn't expect it to be that rough. Beautiful home but needed a more through cleaning, but overall we still had a great time at this location.
We stayed here while visiting family for the holidays. The view of the lake is beautiful! The beds were super comfortable and there was plenty of space for our family of four which included an older teen and college aged kid.
Other that the 45 point turn around and inability to unhook boat from truck due to incline it was a very pleasurable weekend away.Wonderful neighbor to help get the boat backed in.Great place. Great boat garage if you can get it in.We would stay again despite my fishing addiction.
Beautiful views, nice house, very comfortable but glare on TV needs addressing- put shades over multiple windows in living area.

Needs a little attention
Very pretty lot. Roads around area very poor and area is rundown.
The three beds were smaller than we anticipated, and the upstairs loft needed more privacy, such as a petition and curtains on the windows. The sound and lighting made it difficult to sleep. The toilets were not very clean and dusty in some areas. Still a nice cabin and enjoyed our time there. We had six people and only four coffee mugs were there. We would definitely go back, but would love to see more privacy upstairs, and these other things taken care of.

Stay for a Family Reunion
We attended a family reunion at a nearby neighborhood, Brown’s Landing. House is in good condition. Beautiful view of the lake. I am glad we decided not to bring our boat because our boat never would have made it out with all of the exposed tree stumps. Would have been nice to know that ahead of time. Property is very dark behind the house leading to the dock and one of the benches at the dock was broken. Main bedroom had curtain rods but no curtains so light from outside and early morning light shined in. creaking doors could use some WD40. Could not get internet to work. Oven did not work properly. Cooked a cobbler for 1.5 hours and it still wasn’t done. Had to take it to cousins house to finish cooking it. Bathroom in loft area was full of bugs. I not sure what the cleaning fee is paying for if they are not doing a great job at keeping it clean and we have to put our own towels in wash and take our own trash out. Neighborhood getting there is a little sketchy.

It is a regret that you left a dishonest review. I installed two flood lights behind the house. The switches are located in very obvious locations. When both lights are on, the whole yard is bright. The dock has one flood light and nice halogen bulbs. One bulb was installed under the dock to attract fishes. It is great experience to fish at night. I installed a brand new wood bench on the dock to enjoy the lake view. I left an old dinning table on a corner of the dock in case the guests want to place some foods. The table top woods are little rusted but still sturdy. The sitting woods were replaced to new ones. There is no broken bench on the dock.
All east Texas lakes' water levels are low at this time of year. There are quite a few stumps exposed. However, it is still great to run a fish boat on the lake. I measured the dock water level is 4 ft 8 inches, although the water level was almost 9 ft when lake water was full. This house is located in a good place for fishing. The dock has the main creek channel just out from it 20-30 yards. It is not a good time for Jet Ski and go-fast boat at this time of year.
The oven is high end KitchenAid brand purchased in May 2022. I just verified all functions working fine including cooking a cobbler. I also have a brand new small table oven purchased from Costco. Many guests had a good experience with these ovens.
I constantly inspect the maid's service. I have never seen bugs in any of the bathrooms. I have never requested to wash your towels. There are plenty of towels in the loft dresser. All guests are welcome to use them. I placed extra towels there due to limited bath shelf space. There are plenty of extra sheets as well.
The maid reported you left broken glass cups and the property looked messy inside and out. The trash service requested no loose trash in the trash bin outside of the property. I am sorry that I made you feel that you need to dump all trashes to outside bin. I only expect that extra trash to be bagged and dump into the bin if the 13-gallon trash can in kitchen is not enough.
I contacted SuddenLink and inspected the router. No outage was reported during your stay. The Internet was stable and the speed was roughly 65-85MB. Suddenlink has a great reporting service. They let me know any outage occurred and the estimated time to repair. I checked all doors inside the house after your review. None of them made creaking sounds.
I would like to ensure my guests I use my heart to service them.
Our group of 6 had a great time at the lake house. It’s not always easy to find three bedrooms with three full bathrooms but this comfy lake house met all our needs and then some. This may sound odd but the detached garage was super impressive! It was the perfect spot for yoga each morning. The host was very attentive and accommodating. The town of Palestine (30 minutes away) was so charming that we went back a second day for pie, antique shopping and more!!! We would definitely return.
We loved this property; the backyard was stunning. Prettier in person. The location was convenient b/c there was a dollar general about 5 minutes away.
The only con would be the ants
The property was beautiful and clean. The descriptions were accurate. We had no problems with the property! We had beautiful lake views and access. We would definitely rent this property again!
