Rock away your cares and worries from the expansive front porch, while watching wildlife drink from the pond. Almost 40 acres of nature surrounds the cottage , with a natural spring, fishing pond, and views of beautiful East Texas. Spot deer, eagles, fox and more while enjoying the quiet and peaceful murmur of nature.
The cottage has a fully stocked kitchen, strong Wi-Fi with office space, outdoor smoker/grill, and a fire pit area by the stocked pond. Bring your fishing poles! There is very little light pollution at Hopewell Cottage, making it a wonderful place to do some stargazing (telescope provided) after watching one of East Texas’ gorgeous sunsets.
You’ll be within 2.5 miles of Cypress Springs Lake and 3 miles from Lake Bob Sandlin. Swim, ski, fish, kayak and more our beautiful lakes! You’re welcome to bring your boat/watercraft to the cottage if you plan on spending time at one of our beautiful lakes. I’ll be glad to recommend a fishing guide if you ask. Nearby Bob Sandlin State Park offers nature trails, hiking, and other adventures.
Both Mount Vernon and Winnsboro offer quaint charm with shopping and restaurants, plus Saturday morning Farmers Markets (seasonal). Wine and art festivals are frequent occurrences.
NOTE OF CAUTION: the loft area of the cottage is not suitable for very young children, the very elderly or infirm! The stairs to the loft are very steep and even the most fit need to use the bannisters. We recommend you descend backwards as if coming down a ladder. (See the pictures).
There is a personal storage closet in the home where we store cleaning supplies and stock replacement items. This closet is kept locked and is not accessible. There is also an outdoor shop that is locked and not accessible.


Please be advised there are 2 outdoor ring camera's. One in the front and one to the back of property facing outside. Do NOT tamper with security camera's.
