Our family’s stay at Big Pasture Lodge was perfect for our needs. The lodge is beautiful and with so many personal and charming touches, we felt welcomed and at ease to truly enjoy. Kitty is a wonderful hostess and we are so thankful they shared their home with us. We highly recommend and hope to revisit again next year.

Weekend getaway

Thank you again for another wonderful stay at the big pasture! Our friends and family enjoyed the beautiful back porch and lots of time around the fire. We had fun exploring the property and getting out of Dallas for the weekend. Kitty makes you feel like family staying at the big pasture!

Memorable revisit

The pictures of this treasure do not capture the beauty of this property. Every time my family have visited, we walk in the door and are still in awe. Whether you choose to fish, enjoy both fireplaces,, visit the darling town in Mount Vernon, or do it all, you will leave with wonderful memories. The host, Kitty, is amazing.and very available for anything you may need. However, you won’t need a thing, as Kitty has thought of everything to make your visit something you will never forget.

Had the Best Weekend

We had a great time at The Big Pasture with friends for the long weekend! The back porch is fantastic! Beautiful views and the kids loved exploring outside. The inside was comfy and had plenty of room for adults to visit and kids have their own space to play. Go visit The Meat Market in town - lots of great options for the grill! We will definitely be back!!!

Pastoral Retreat at the Big Pasture

We were needing a quiet time to encourage, pray, and seek wisdom from the Lord as church leaders and Big Pasture and the owners were just what God ordered. The setting in the splendor of God’s creation coupled with the amenities of the lodge were a gift. Grateful for a place like Big Pasture

Kitty’s place was amazing!

We had a great time. Super comfortable. Great setting and great views. Ms. Kitty made it easy! We tried to leave the place in better shape than we found it but she also didn’t want us “fussing” over the clean up so it would be easier on us to check out. Hope to come back!

Great getaway

The property was clean and accommodating! The pictures do not do it justice. The property is way more beautiful in person. We enjoyed exploring the property, grilling and the back patio. Owners are easy to work with for whatever your needs are. Plenty of room for 8 people and kids. Check out was the easiest of any properties we have stayed in . Would definitely go back !

4th of July Family get-together

Our family enjoyed coming together at the Big Pasture to celebrate the 4th of July. Our only regret is we didn’t stay long enough to enjoy all of the hikes around the property. The house worked wonderfully for small kids crawling and exploring. It was so nice having all the space for our family to gather and then enough bedrooms so everyone to relax too. We will definitely be back!

Magical Christmas Stay

We have stayed at the Big Pasture before and enjoyed the property, the Christmas decorations and lights made this stay even more magical. The house was stocked so we could enjoy a fire on the cool nights. The stars outside were amazing at night. We had a chance to walk around the property more and hope to come back to explore further. Kitty is a gracious host and ensured we had everything we needed including a high chair!

The Big Pasture Paradise

Our stay at The Big Pasture home was simply amazing! From the time you drive through the private gate you feel the tranquility of this beautiful property. The entry way is immense, the bedrooms all have their own bathroom and very comfortable beds, the kitchen is large for family cooking and the view never got old. Kitty responded quickly and sweetly to any and all of our texts. We all agree that we want to come to The Big Pasture for a longer stay! Thank you Kitty and family 💜

Incredible getaway!

We held a small gathering of friends here for my brother's 30th birthday - the house was a dream, beautiful in every way and extremely comfortable. Kitty (the hostess) was an incredible blessing - so kind and easy to work with. We loved the chef's kitchen - everything we could ever need was in the cabinets. We also enjoyed relaxing in the main areas and exploring the property. There was a ton of space to enjoy, incredible fall colors, and beautiful nature. The rooms were comfortable, bathrooms spotless, and everything we needed provided. If you're considering booking, don't hesitate - it's an amazing place!

Quiet Getaway

The Big Pasture Lodge was a wonderful choice for a quiet, relaxing getaway for our group of friends. We enjoyed a bit of hiking, cooking in the well stocked kitchen, chatting into the night while sprawled on comfy couches, playing games around the table and reading peacefully on the porch while looking across the landscape. I highly recommend this property for groups that want some privacy as well, all the bedrooms are situated well away from each other ensuring early risers and night owls both could putter about happily. While we didn't have any difficulties, the host was very communicative and I felt that if I had needed assistance, help would have been on the way!

Perfect Getaway!

So many wonderful things to say about The Big Pasture Cabin. My partner and I came here with all our adult children and one 4 year old in the middle of this fun. Kitty met me and gave me a tour and helpful tips. She had firewood delivered and everything we needed was available. The best hostess! We fished, walked the beautiful property, enjoyed the gorgeous view on the back deck, and cooked together in the large kitchen. The beds were comfortable and plenty of linens. This was a true getaway tucked away and private. Anyone that stays here will not be disappointed! 5 STARS!

New Year at the Big Pasture Lodge

What a wonderful time we spent celebrating New Year at the Big Pasture Lodge. Our family all loved everything about it. It is a very convenient half way meeting point for our family members living in Dallas area and family living in Texarkana. Kitty goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and was there to meet us when we arrived. Will for sure be visiting again and would like to make the New Year trip an annual event. Thank you Kitty for opening your beautiful home to our family. Ages range from 1 year to 75 years and everyone had such a great time. Wonderful place to make memories. Highly recommend.
