We escaped from busy, busy Dallas to Nacogdoches in 1984. Wanted to raise our 3 kids here in this wonderful little town and were glad that we did. We thought about moving to Austin when they went off to college but found this wonderful property and happily stayed.
We have turned the original 1865 homeplace, Gus's Place, into a wonderful little vacation rental. We also added a large barn with an apartment, a pool kitchen and we have great areas to allow for large parties or reunions.
"Gus" was so busy that we decided to bring "Clara's Cabin" into the picture. While not as historic as ole "Gus", it is just as charming and decorated with wonderful art and artifacts from that period. Clara's Cabin is set in an area that is easily accessible to our guests who stay there yet very private.
