The Purple Thistle Cabin is a small rustic cabin, approximately 860 sq ft., nestled in country seclusion. Imagine yourself enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. The Mourning Dove call…The cows mooing in the distance? A baby calf suckling its mama? Turkeys drinking at the tank. It is often said, the cabin gives inspiration while nourishing ones soul. The Purple Thistle cabin provides a peaceful place for writing and book reading, pond fishing or napping. The small town of Jacksboro is a short drive (quick 5 min.) and Fort Richardson State Park is approximately 2 miles. The State Park has a 10 mile trail around Lake Jacksboro which is a favorite for cyclists, hikers, and kayakers alike.
The cabin, which is non-smoking, is located on a working ranch property and does have a gated private entrance. The cabin is located approximately 300 yards off a major highway. Guests must have reservations to enter.
